A SCIENTIFIC M.UIVEL. A. BSiIk-GiTiojc Auimd That Lays Egg Like a I'eptile. f New York Mailand Eipre, "One of tbe most remarkable discoveries of the aga was made public at tbe scientific meeting in Montreal recently," said a naturalist, "and one that is likely to make some decided changes in theories now held. Y'ou have heard cf a mare'3 nest ad of'hen'a teeth; both are intended generally to convey the impression of something highly improbable, and, curiously enough, science shows them to be iulte the reverse, aa birds with teeth have been found in great numbers in the deposits of the West, and the recent discovery announced in Montreal is not much more astonishing than wonld be the statement that a mare's nest had been discovered that contained eggs. Fi.G-I.AYIX M1I.K lilVEES. "Why so? Why, simply because a milkgiving animal, or one belonging to the same great class of animals as the horse, has be9n found to lay eggs after the fashion of a reptile. No, it isn't a fish story; we are oa mammals now, and the facts are tnat twenty years ago or so a famous .English naturalist named Bennett went to Australiato study the fauna and wrot6 up the history of the animals called monotremes very thoroughly. Here are the animals," and the naturalist tojfc down two curious creatures from a stand. They constitute tbe lowest of the ruilkgivers. This one, called the ornithorbynchna. or duck-bill, you see. has a bill exactly liae that of a duck, the nostrils being upon the upper side; actual teeth are absent, but instead tbe duck-bill has four horny projections that serve as teeth; they have no roots or anything of the kind, and are merely part of the bill. The eyes are small and bead-like, the claws webbed and powerful, and, aa you might expect, the creature is a swimmer and a powerful digger, and from this habit Bennett had much didiculty in studying tbm, but he found that they lived in the water, much as do our musk-rats, and burrowed into the banks, forming long zig-zag caves that ended perhaps thirty feet above it and perfectly high and dry, and in the end the duck bill formed its nest of leaves and twigs. Bennett discovered these nests by punching the ground with sharp sticks, and found quite a number, but in very few cases did he discover the young; then they were helpless little creatures, about two inches 1 jng, and it was then supposed that, as in the case of the marsupials, the young were rudimentary when born. A few of tne natives stated that the duck bill laid eggs, but as Bennett could not find any, and it seemed preposterous to think of, he paid no aiteution to it, and now, nearly twenty years later, it is shown that the natives, were correct, as during the session of the section of biology Professor MoteJy, the eminent naturalist of the Coallengtr expedition, its l'resident, received a cablegram from Professor Liversedge, of Sydney, Australia, to tbe aflect that Profes sor Caldwell, who b:id gone out to study tbe mammals of the country, bad made tbe remarkable discovery that the duck-bills and others of tbe order were egg layers." A 1T.LE FOR THE AATOMlsTS. "What does this prove?" asked the re porter? " eil, was the reply, "naturalists claim that we must look to tbe amphibians, as the frogs, etc., for the ancestors of the milk-giving animals, but thn shows that the mammals are closely allied to the reptile3. In fact, it s a sort of a hfteen puzzle for the ana tomists to work at. The duck-bili has many characteristics that are peculiar to birds, as tbe urinary and genital canals both emptving into the cloaca; they also have a keeled sternum, like some birds. The bill is birdlike. They have a spur that is connected by a canal to a quasi poison duct, but Bennett allowed it to lacerate his flesh, and no bad effects were noticed. In the skeleton we fird sternal osseous ribs, as in the birds, and in the skull of the adult there are no sutures to be seen. In fact, there are a number of peculiarities that make the little creature a veritable 'what is it' of science. When he was studying them, Dr. Bennett kept several as pets, and the cursious little creatures were domesticated, and were very mild and gentle. They were very carious, amusing themselves by climbing over chairs and reaching the top of bookcases by pushing their backs against the wall and gradually lifting themselves up. They would crawl over his lap, stick their duck-like bills in his Dockets, and in a hundred ways show their sociability. Every attempt was made to take them tö Europe, and a number of specimens were taken and kept on foxl that they would have to eat on the trip and after their arrival in London, but it was not successful. With tbe ant-eating monotrerue, however, there was little or no trouble, and one was kept for a long time in the London Zoological Garden. "In appearance, as you see, the echidna locks like a hedgehog, only it is much larger than those animals grow. It is protected with a complete coat of spines; the beak is homey, but instead of being Hat, as is the duck-bill, it is tubular and having a small opening for the Blender tongue that is thrust out to capture ants. Their feet are not webbed, us the animal never goes near the water, but they are powerful and clawed, and it is said that in ten minutes the little creature will dig a hole that will completely cover itself from view. They are perfectly harmless unless taken up roughly, when the quills become erect and are dangerous weapons. The specimen in tbe London Zoological Gardens was usually carried about by Its hind legs. No, these animals have never been brought to this country alive, but in the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences several fine specimens are, I believe, exhibited, and in the Museum of Natural History, Central Park, there is a group of the animals, representing them in all sorts of positions, showing the cave, nest and all complete." A CRAZY FREAK. Wanderings of a Young Woman Suffering From Malaria. New Yokk, Sept, 27. General Adolph Meyer, Commander of the National Guard of Louisiana and a rich cotton broker of New Orleans, arrived here the 1st inst. with his wife and sinter Ophelia, who is a leading belle of New Orleans society. Miss Meyer was recovering from bodily aad mental prostration due to malaria. Shortly after her arriral her condition was so far from improved that her sis er was sent for. that she might be under constant surveillance. Wednesday morning Mis Meyer left her apartments at the Clarendon Hotel and made her war, aa was diacovered, to tlie Hotel Devonshire, where she registered as Mrs. 11. Smith, of Passaic, N. J. General Meyer, as soon an he learned of her escape, made thorough search, bat was not able to discover her whereabouts until yesterday, when detectives who were loosing for the missing Miss Carpenter of Brooklyn. were led to believe Mrs. Smith was the penon tbey were in search of. General Merer bad inserted personals in tbe morning papers and these led to the identification of tbe mysterious lady, who had tone unattended to the Hotel Devonshire. Wnen Mins Meyer was visited by her friends she at first refused to return home with them, fearing they purposed taking her to a private asylum, but. being assured this was net the case, left the hotel and returned to fier Drotber s apartments at tbe Clarendon Hotel. Miss Meyer's friends said that after her attack of malaria he bad begun to ipeak of lunatic asylums and ber dread of going to one. She also said she would like to earn her own living, althou-ii abli to command any money she desired and being perfect y independent. She li new under the care of a trained nurse and a physician.

Stories of famous California stage robberies, gleaned from the pages of local papers, have of late appeared more aounaantly than usual, but of the really picturesque figures in frontier desperado life one had hardly a glimpse in these prosaic days. "Black Bart," who stopped stages dozens of times in Northern Californiaoperating with the utmost audacity, and leaving specimens of his own rhymes on tbe emptied mail bags and treasure boxes, or even sending amusing letters to the local journals was a most original genius, well educated, intelligent, possessing but one fault the sta jre stopping propensity. Bat criminals fully as interesting in their ex ploits as Ulacs Hart, or even as Joaquin Murietta and Tiburcio Vasauez, the SpanishMexican outlaws, have only a local notoriety. Tales of their adventures, yet told in pi oneers cabins, have never yet reached permanence in printed form, except in the merest fragments. The first ot these questionable heroes was

"Sheet-Iron Jack," an audacious brigand, whfiereal came is involved in obscurity, Fiiteen years a;o he was a terror to several counties of Northern California. He was wf U-tducated, handsome, tall, the son of a minister, so all accounts agreed, and his name bad been trained by the immunity irom bullet wounds that be appeared to posfess. Men did not hoitate to declare that they bad seen good snots fire point-blank at bis breast and miss him squarely. He became known as the most expert horse-thief in the region, and innumerable exploits of his are related in Shasta and Tehama Counties. On one occasion he threw his pursuers oil' his track, assumed a disguise, mt-t the Sheriff's arty, delighted them with his eon as and stories put up with them at a little village inn, and during the night escaped with the best three horses in the party, after having turned the others loose in the wood? and leaving a saucy and fenny letter of thanks, ending with aa apt Latin quotation for the Sheriff, whose wrath ws? of such an abiding sort that brief would have been Jack's life lease had he been overhauled. Sheet-Iron Jack, with a mere bagatelle of twenty or so warrants hanging over bis bead, once ventured into Red Bluff, quite a lar;?e town on the Sacramento Itiver. whose broad.

rapid and bluff-walled current sweeps in a Sfiml-circle past. He Lad a world of disguises, but on this occasion he was recog nized in the main street and pursued bv an armed and excited crowd of citizens. lie tan into a stable, cut a horte loose and rode for the river, with bullets "aizzme" throueh the air about him, jumped in, swam his horse over and escaped. He fired a few shots himself, bat under the circumstances Is not to be blamed for devoting his beet energies to locomotion. One of the most characteristic feats of this fellow was performed at a mountain ball, in a log cabin. Young people had? assembled from many miles distant, some of them coraiDgaday's journey. The ball had hardly begun when a tall, black-haired, welidiesed, handsome stranger appeared, aud excited much commenL A particularly handsome young girl was taken out oa the äcor by her partner, and suddenly the stranger stepr d up and with great politeress requestt-vi the gentleman to resign the lady in Lis favor. He whispered his name in the young man's ear, paid a compliment to the young lady, took her torth and lea the dance, lhe word went round that Sheet-Iron Jack had come there to dance with all the pre ttv girls; that he had several revolvers, never missed a shot, and probably bad friends hid within call. The long and the short of it was that the thirty young men present were terrorized, and, one after another, tbe handsome brigand danced with the prettiest maidens in the room Then he bowed to the excited assembl v. stood in the doorway a secondsaid muciingly that it was a pity the men were not as brave as the ladies were handsome, and disappeared in tbe darkness. Stories of his liberality are still told In the mountains. Many a poor fellow, hungry and foot sore, trudging along the roadside. beard tbe rattle ot hoots as a man on horseback approached, was baited, questioned sharply, flung a $" or $10 or $-0 piece with the injunction to "drink no whisky, and don't believe all the hard stories you hear about Sheet-Iron Jack." Tne following incident was told to the writer by one of the principal actors therein, a number of years ago. It was a bright August day, and a young German was riding along the mountain paths of the Northern Coast ranee. Suddenly hia horse, a fine and valuable animal, began to show lameness, and in au hour waa unable to more than hobble for ward at snail's pace. The youth, ignorant regarding the ways of horseflesh, was m despair. He had invested $150 in the creature, and how was he to proceed on his way? A mud-voiced, benevolent old man of farmerlike appearance, but in reality the shrewdest horse-trader in the mountains, overtook him at this juncture, won his confidence, examined the horse and pronounced it a case of "founder." "An' it'll take a year for him to sit well. an' be won't be the same hoss agin, nother." "What shall I do?" cried the sorrowing German. After a long talk the shrewd trader offered the German $ii0 for the horse, saying that he should turn him out in a pasture a mile distant, and leave him there for a year er two. Ignorant, bewildered, the German consented, took the money, delivered over the limping horse, took his saddle and bags and started to walk to the nearest stage station. Meanwhile the sharper waited till his dupe was out of sight, then took a pair of smith's pincers from his saddle-bags, and in five minutes bad wrenched oif all four of the new steel shoes from the horse's hoofs. In half an hour the auimal was able to walk easily "Ihar; I tho't so," the new owner muttered. "The minit I seed them new shoes I knowed some fool had tight shod him. That hoss is worth $200 at least. Lord! I wish as I could rind such a fool every day." The poor German plodded slowly on his toilsome way for several miles, when a man rode out of the bushes and demanded: "Where in the devil was hi3 horse?" He told the stery briefly and with rising suspicions that it had two sides. The man listened attentively, broke into merry fits of laughter, sitting sidewise on his great brown horse, with one knee thrown over the saddle, pulled his mustache retlectingly it was Sheet-Iron Jack. He began to ak questions about the aged and benevelent stianger. Finally he said: "You've been swindled shamefully, and, as this is my beat, I suppose I must help you out. You just walk in those bushes till you come to a camp. There's bread and dried beef pit nty. Then you lie down and go to sleep." An hour later he overhauled the new owner of tbe horse, and at pistol point recovered the property. "But I orter bev back thet ?30 I paid the fool Dutchman." "My honest sir, that goes for my fees as counselor in this case. Now I think of it, it is scandalously small; turn out your pockets." And he took $X)0 from the trembling and conquered sharper, enjoyed his despair a moment, tossed back half of it and lode off. The young German was roused a little later by Sheet-Iron Jack. "Here's your horse and outfit. I've filled your saddle bags and given you a pistol. Don't be afraid; I bought it with honest money once. All I ask is that yoa keep the story of this adventure secret for a month. To-night I must move my camp. Ride off as soon as you can." And Sbeet-Iron Jack retired to his tent. Somehow this talented, educated, brilliant man escaped the talons of tbe law-hawks, and was shot dead in a quarrel a few years later.

The latest elopement of a rich heiress with her father's coachman furnished a rich theme for the gossips of F.ye yesterday. Miss Brake left her father's home at that place on Monday morning to visit acquaintances in this city. She packed two very large trunks and took them with her to the railroad station at Harrison. There she bad them checked to the Grand Central Depot. Mr. Drake had no idea until Wednesday evening that his daughter had eloped.

Carroll is a fine-looLius, athletic youas fellow of twenty. A Bit of Animal Character. It is interesting and amusinä to observe the different traitä, carriage and general action of the various animals. The lazy quiet of tbe pig; the brisk and lively sport of the dog; the nervous, shy step of the chicken; the gazelle's shambling walk, and the look of serene dignity of the camel ; the heavy breathing of the old cow as she lies down at evening to rest and to reflect upon the even's of the day into how many forbidden paths she has strayed, how many fine plants and flow. ers she has nipped off, how many mouthf uls of bay she has stolen from the passing wagon. All these show that Nature is a workman of the greatest versatility of genius. The unfortunate cat has been made the everlasting object of tbe wit's severest darts of satire and humor, but how deserving of such attacks it may be ia too well known to be discussed here. Nature was certainly most sparing in her allotment of brains to the poor cat; but it is a question which receives the largest share, the cat or the goose, and, judging from the metaphoric sense in which the latter animal is sometimes used in apeakiag of a silly or foolisn person, one would conclude that the goose had the smallest share. I don't intend to estimate the amount of brains a full-grown goose has, but I can speak from my own personal experience about the mental excellencies of a gosling. My grandmother gave me one one time, which I raised in a small pen in the back yard. My gosling seemed much pleased with bis new residence, and, gosling like, would stride along leisurely; all the while stretching out its long fuzzy neck and chattering in apparent ecstacy, which revealed an appreciative and cheerful heart. It marched and remarched along the side of the pen. hunting for an opening big enough to squeeze through. It would pace np and down the same side of the pen time after time, stumble over tbe same corncob, and upset tbe water can every time it passed; stick its bead through the same pickets, and flop and Mutter to get through a dozen times in the same place. The renewed failure of escape had not the least discouraging eilect on its patience and perseverance. It still took courage in tbe hope and bare possibility of its forcing an exit sometime. Every spear of grass it pulled off, it would lose its balance and topple over backwards, and lie there on its back screaming and pawing the air in desperate efforts to turn over. Whenever it rained it seemed to think that the best place to get at the rain was under the water-spout, where it would stand straddled out. its mouth open and its neck raised straight up to catch the water from the spout. The first remarkable feature I discovered in my gosling was its avaricious appetite for dry goods and wearing apparel. One warm day while repairing the pen, I took off my collar and neck-tie and laid them down on tbe ground. The bright spots in tbe tie attracted the gosling's attention, and stalking up to it. all tbe while bobbing its head back and forth, and chattering its gosling gibberish, took possession of the tie. First it walked all around the curious lookn object, surveying it from all quarters, and occasionally nibbling at the ends and bright spots on it. Then, partly convinced it was no living animal liable to show fight, it grew bolder and approached nearer, but still showing signs of timidity and uncertainty about the nature of the newly-discovered object by suddenly starting back in fright whenever the wind rustled the ends of tbe necktie. It showed marked ability and taste In frescoing Japanese hieroglyphics and such on my clean collar with its muddy feet. I never knew until then that such an tirtist ever existed that could make with its feet such lovely delineations on a white surface without either a brush or paint. After getting my necktie tangled around its muddy feet and legs and tearing it full of holes, the gosling concluded that it didn't altogether like it as an article of apparel, aud began contemplating upon it ns an article of diet. After extracting itself from the tangles, putting one foot on the necktie, it seized one end of it with its bill, and then commenced deliberately to lay the foundation for a feast. It chewed and chewed at it, occasionally stopping as if to receive word of approval from tbe stomach about the flavor of the last mouthful sent down. Neckties were a Dew commodity in the provision market to me. It seemed that cornmeal was a second-class delicacy when spotted neckties were in the market. A dinner on neckties was about the nicest thing that gosling had had for some time. Ail the time it was chewing the favorite

piece of dry goods it kept opening and phutting its eyes in silent ecstacy, and uttering soft murmurs of rapture and sweet contentment as it felt the smooth satin glide softly and slowly down its throat. I watched it with a curiosity to see whether it waa really serious in its attempt to devour my necktie, or whether it w as merely eating it as a preliminary appetizing course, preparatory to a sumptuous feast on nrv linen coat and vest. Yhen I saw the last bit of my ouce pretty tie pass forever from my sight, and saw that greedy gosling reach for my linen coat, I thought it had gone iar enough. It was bad enough to diet on my necktie right before my eyes, but now for it; to peremptori'y demand my linen coat, a garment tbathad been successively worn oa great occasions by all the intervening male members of the family from my great-grandfather down to myself, was more than my reverence for family relics could endure. It seemed like sacrilege for a garment whose maker's name had been lost in family traditions connected with it, and which no one could remember the time when it was in fashion, to find its final resting resting place ia ths grateful 6tomach of the freakish gosiing. The insult to my pride could find satisfaction only in that infamous gosling's blood. I slew It with a revengeful hand, and with appropriate ceremonies buried it on its back with its feet sticking above the green sward as monuments of warning of the inevitable fate of anything that dares to diet on home-spun linen whose genealogy can be traced, in an unbroken line, three per erations back. m Max Alpex. Cumberland. Ind. A LUXAK COLUMBUS. The Alleged Discoveries of an English Astronomer llelative to the Moon. Philadelphia Inquirer. Mot people old enough to have known anything of it, or to have been told of it by their immediate progenitors, remember about the moon hoax. The idea of intelligent inhabitants on the earth's well-known and popular satellite seems to possess a fascination for the human mind, and it is now reported that amazing and unprecedented success has attended the last attempt at lunary discovery, which is said to have been made" by an English Professor rejo'cing in tbe name of Blendmann The gentleman, as it appears by tbe story, hit upon tbe idea that the trouble with the moon was that, instead of not having light enough, the astronomer bal entirely too much light to see her by. The intensity of the light power of the moon's atmosphere be found was so great as seriously to ailect the correctness of the observation. Forcibly struck with this idea, as Dr. Hahnemann was with that of the man who jumoed iuto a second bramble bush to scratch in again "homo-bop-athically" the eyes which the first bramble bush scratched out, the Professor set abont di vising some means of making the object glass of his refractor less refractory, which he did by smoking the glass with the smoke of camphor, wheu, after months of experiment, he got a photograph of tbe moon in just the required eort of twilight. This photograph he magnified in a solar microscope to the extremely moderate diameter of only fifty-five feet, when lo! his research was rewarded by the appearance of towns, habitations, fields and sess. and 6igus of industry 8nd traffic. At last accounts the Professor was still continuing his researches. It is not seated that he worked with more than one glas, but the accounts of what he saw indicate that he had Beyeral. "It is not safe in these days," said a bigh tcbooi professor and distinguished electrician, to whom a paragraph from a London paper gravely detailing the Bleadniann discoveries was submitted, "it is not safe to say that anything told of the results I of scientific research may not be true, but I don t believe that." Then he pointed out tbe internal evidence in the account itself against its correctness. Astronomers, he said, no doubt saw the actual surface of the moon through its extremely attenuated atmosphere, if it bad any. Tnat it was a worn-out world was evident. Possibly, assuming the correctness of the evolution theory, it was a fragment of the earth. If eo, it no doubt once had seas but they had probably been withdrawn into the inside. At least there were none visible on the outside. Again, to magnify an object required powerful light. It was precisely with the object of getting a strong light that telescopes were made larger and larger, and if the scientist found he had too much why did he not simply use a smaller telescope? The camphor smoke and the diameter of 55 feet made the Professor smile, and In said he had never met or beard of the enterprising and sagacious Blendmann. Hasmbal Hamms, of Maine, is the oldest ! man on the stump. He is seventy-two. He I never wore an overcoat. A Foe in the Air. A foe, all the more dangerous because unseen, lurks in tbe air of every locality where malaria is developed bv march mists, noxious gases, or the vsporization of water contaminated with decayed vegetation. Fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb ague and the forms of fever whicä assume a typhoid character are its products. There ts no safety, even for the most vigorous constitution, unlo'rtifJed against this insidious foe, and the danger to persons of a bilious habit or feeble constitution ia doubly great. Protection may, however, be fought with certainty in llostetter's Stomach Bitters, the leading American preventive and specific for the disease.
