Curious Likeness.

Not long ago at the Natural History museum in London attention was invited to the remarkable resemblance between a specimen of the huge African elephant and the pigmy shrew mouse. A distinguished naturalist suggested comparison of the two, and tfie result was that practically every bone, muscle, blood vessel, and nerve of the' giant beast waß found, identically reproduced in the little animal, which is scarcely two inches in length. In the museum in question a stuffed mouse has been placed between the forefeet of its enormous mounted prototype for the/purpose of showing the curious likeness—Harper’s Weekly. .
