Engrlisli In Switzerland. Some odd English is found In is guide book published by the Association of Hotel Keepers of Switzerland, Brevity is the object of the compilers. Thus the Aigle Grand hotel promises "bill., rest., physic, at the establ." It Is only after reflection that the reader's wonder at finding a "bill" among the attractions is allayed by the stop! "Bill." means billiards probably "Rest" can be had elsewhere than in Aigle. But "rest." means restaurant and "physic." physician. Another hotel at Aigle enjoys "corroborative air."

The Bow nnd Arrow,

The first mention of the bow and arrow is found in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that Ishmael, the son of Abraham, "dwelt in the wilderness and became an archer." "A bow shot," too, is mentioned as a measure of distance. In the sculptured slates found at Khorsabad and Nineveh representations of archers frequently occur, and the bow seems to have been a weapon in the Assyrian and Persian armies.

Thin Creatnre Is a Mnmmal That Lays and Halt-lies Ef?gs. One of the oddest ot the ninny queer and unique creatures that inhabit the antipodean wikls is an animal about the shape and size of 1he American raccoon. lie is not a curiosity on account of his shape or size or because he resembles the coon and lives in Australia, where all nature is topsy tunvy, but because of a remarkable habit the female of his species has of laying eggs and hatching tliein after the manner of birds. This queer egg laying animal, the only creature of the kind on earth as far as the zoologists know, is called a platypus. It inhabits the deep forests of the river bottoms of both Australia and New Zealand and, it is said, has many of the characteristics which distinguish the beaver tribe. The platypus is not a common animal even in its native haunts, and it is yearly becoming scarcer because of the war which the natives wage against it on account of its peculiar egg laying habits. They have a superstitious dread of the harmless little animal because its habits deviate so widely from those generally noted in fur covered, four footed creatures, their hatred of it being so great that no band, whether composed of half a dozen or 100 families, will settle in the vicinity of a lake or stream until the young men "beat the bush" and kill every platypus that can be found.

TRAVELER.

Few newspapers in the United States are able to command the services of as brilliant a corps of correspondents as that of the a or a I choice of a correspondent is indicative of The Record-Herald's policy of obtaining the best there is to be had. Walter Wellman, the well known author on political subjects and one of the ablest writers of the day, acts in that capacity.

Mr. Wellman was born in Mentor, Ohio, Nov. 3, 185S. At the age of 14 he began his newspaper experience, establishing at that age a weekly paper in the little town of Sutton, Neb. In 1878 he returded to Ohio and a year later established the Cincinnati Evening Post. In 1884 he became the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Herald and in 1892 he visited Central America afcd the West Indies and located the landing place of Columbus on Watling's (San Salvador) Island, and marked the spot with a huge stone monument. Mr. Wellman's dashes for the north pole are well known, seln 1894 he made the first of his two Arctic voyages of exploration, reaching the latitude of 81 degrees northeast of Spitsbergen. In 1898 he returned to the North, penetrated to Franz Josef Land, returning again to this country in 1899. On each trip he met with wonderful success in the discovery of new islands and lands, and brought back with him scientific data and information of great value to the American Geographical Society.

Mr. Wellman has been a voluminous writer tor scientific magazines andnpopular periodicals. On returning from his arctic trips he renewed his connection with The Record-Herald and is now the ^Washington correspondent of that paper. His incisive discussion of contemporary affairs has 'given him a high place in the regard of statesmen and scientists of the day.
