Aye.h.ye Monkey Of Madagascar.

The island of Madagascar has a
strange inhabitant in the species Of
monkey known as the aye-aye. 1t came
from the lemur, believed by selen-
lists to be the father Of all apes and
monkeys. The lemur is supposed to
have wandered from North America,
where it first appeared, into Europe
and Africa. When the sea washed away
great parts OF the land Ii left new con-
tinents and new islands, and everything
that could not fly about was shut up
where it was. The lemur which re-
manned lemur, found its home in the
island of Madagascar, that once formed
part OF the mainland OF Africa. One
or tive lemurs in Madagascar were born
different from other lemurs. The chill
dren Of those strange lemurs were like
their offspring; in turn they chose
lemurs most like themselves, and little
by little an entire tribe of aye-aye was
formed.

When the roundnps took place, IL a
cowpuncher saw a steer or COW with
out a brand he remarked: That's q
Maverick" Then he put his own
brand on it. The name became COM
mon through Texas and spread
throughout the ranges west Of the Mis-

Outdoor Restaurants.

emf in America. How many great
schemes have l c0ncocted on French
terraces, under Italian pergolas, in Ger
man beer gardens. Here no one has
time to concoct anything over a good
dinner. Once I stupidity talked to an
American lady of the pleasure Of din

restaurant in France but she haughtiiy
informed me that she did not care to

Why Lower Teeth Last.

.The reason that the front lower
teeth rarely decay and often last
through life when all the other teeth
have, gone" said DR.. G. De Witt Henry
Of New York, us that they are al.
ways bathed in an alkaline solution.
1t is the acids OF the mouth that
make the teeth decay. The salivary
glands in the cheeks pour out q
slightly acid fluid, those situated un.
der the tongue pour out an alkaline
fluid. The back teeth are constantly
bathed In an acid and therefore decay
first. The lower front teeth are 50
situated that the alkaline secretion
from under the tongue floods them
and preserves them from decay

Desert Terror.

The hog-nosed viper, the real terror
of the Southwest, Is found In southern
New Mexico and In Arizona. No more
repulsive creature than this could well
be imagined. 1t derives its name from
its turned-up nose, which curiously re-
sembles the snOut Of the hog. Over its
eyes stand two hornlike scales that
look something like the goggles worn
by chauffeurs. 1t rarely attains q
length exceeding 10 inches. It hides
II the sand. which Is precisely OF the
same color as It's body, a circumstance
that Is likely to lead the wanderer to
tread upon II accidentally. Many
sheep herders have been fatally bitten
By this reptile. Its fangs are almost
Nike those of the RATHER and the venom
! fully as deadly.

A variety Of coconut. known as the
"coco de mer." which made famous
the island Of Maize Of the Seychelles
archipelago in the Indian ocean,
weighs 40 pounds or more, requires
seven years to ripen, and grows on
trees that attain height OF 100 feet
and do not show their enormous fern.
like leaves until 80 years old. This
"coconnt Of the sea" was known long
before the islands were discovered, be-
cause of the seaborne specimens cast
up on the east coast Of Africa, where
they were thought to grow on sub.
marine palm. They were valued as an
antidote to poisons and commanded
exorbitant prices among the native
tribes, whose medicine men made
much of them.
