THE SHORT RANGE FREERE TAR-s GET—A NEW TORPEDO BOAT. x'f- ~#-SV„

An Important Question in Natural History Has Been Answered, and the Link Between Mammals and Birds

Found. iC fy1

An important question in natural history, gays Tbo Scientific American, can now be answered. There are egg laying mammals. This fact, which has long ago been believed by scientists, has finally been proved, and the Unir between mammals and birds which, according to the saying that "Nature makes no jumps," most necessarily exist, has been found. It is worthy of note that Darwin was Interested in this question.

THE FOHCUPJNE ANT EATER.

August 'J5, 1884, Dr. Wilhelm Haacke, former assistant of Ilaeckel and director of the South Australian museum in Adelaide, discovered that the porcupine ant eator (Echidna hystrix) laid eggs, and the name discovery was made a few days later by W. H. Caldwell, a young English naturalist, who went to New Holland to study the development of animals of the duckbill species. The anatomical construction of these animals and their position in the zoological system has been a subject of discussion among naturalists, but they have finally been classed as mammals.

Tho iarticular animal to which attention is called in tho cut is the porcupino ant eater (Ecbidua hystrix). It is tho smallest of the mouotremes, and reminds one of the porcupine. It* body is plump, aud its short legs aro ca-h provided with five strong toes armed with sburp nails, well adapted for burrowing. Its beak resembles closely' tbat of tbo woodcock, being thin and tubo shaped. Tho mouth is very small, only lurgo enough for the passage of tbo worm like, rough pointed tongue, which can bo extended noma distance beyond tho beak and is used for drawing hi food (ants and other inserts). No oars aro visible, but thero aro hearing passages which can be opened and closod by folds of shin. Tho uppor part of tho body is covcrod with black, pointed quills, tho roots of which are surrounded by short hair, and tbo boad, legs and othor parts of tho body are alio covcred with hair.

This ant eater lives in mountainous districts and in high, dry woods in South Australia, where he burrows under tho roots of tho trees. In his hole he makes a nest which he lines with parts of plants. To protect himself from an enemy he rolls himself up like a porcupine. __

Short Range Target.

The short range, lino shot target, a modification of the ordinary Creodmoor. target patented by Thomas Freere, of Bay Ridge, 1*1., now on the market, is attracting attention on account of tbo superior advantages claimed for it by its advocates. Tho Freero target, it is claimed, secures moro accurate line shooting at the short ranges,ond for truo elevation shooting at tbo middle and long ranges. Mr. Fruero has discarded tbo circular bull'B eye, or rather modifies its shape, so that it bocomes a diamond, and tho other subdivisions of the target follow tlia sarno plan, producing a target diagram as shown in the cut. For long range work tbo sumo general scheme is followod but the target drops upon its side and the di: md rests o.i its longest axis in a horizontal position, giving tho greatest preference to shots of good elevation in tho scoring.

THE FREXAS TARGET.

The idea lias a special bearing upon military marksmanship, where the single soldier at thort range and the massed company front at long range is tho target of ultimate practice. To tho beginner at short range work the importance of a steady, upright holding of the piece is very effectively impressed by the use of this target

The Freero target represented in the illustration is here reduced from "Crcedmoor" 100 yard range, for 13}f feet from 300 yard range, for 85 feet from 300 yard range, for 8?X feet

Now Submarine Torpedo Boat. Anew type of submarine torpedo boat is being experimented with at the West India docks, London, England. The peculiar feature of this boat is the means adopted to Heart immersion or flotation, which is described in Science as consisting in increasing or reducing her displacement by projecting or ^withdrawing telescopic chambers in her sides,

Instead of paraping water into or oat of tanks, the method usually followed in nr boats. The boat is spindle shaped, i.x-t long and eight feet in diameter built of three-eighth inch steel, and slled by an electric motor of forty-five horse fewer, current being furnished by storage lotteries.

Chantauqua.

Please state in your Answers to Correspondents tbe meaning of tbe name Chautauqua.

W. H.

We have no means of knowing the meaning of the word certainly, consequently we suggest ene. It may come from a combination of the French word "Chateau" and the Latin word "Aqua," together meaning a country house by the water. If this derivation is not- satisfactory we should be pleased to receive suggestions. Tf|

Wo have received several suggestions. Here is one: Your answer, while being quite original and ingenious, was not quite correct. The word is derived from tho Indian, and is a corruption of an Indian phrase signifying "foggy place."

H. E. B.

And hero another: You state what I believe to be the wrong derivation of the word Chautauqua Pleaso accept what I believe is right. An Indian chief of the Chautauqua lake region bad a girl child, but as he wanted a boy to make a "brave" of he said: "Shaw—take away." English, Chautauqua.

EVERYDAY OCCURRENCES THAT ARE WONDERFUL.

All About Snowshoeing Sports as Practiced by Boys In Canada and In the United States—An Interesting Picture

Puzile. Snowshoeing disputes with tobogganing tho honor of being Canada's national sport in winter. The shoes are made in many shapes and of many sizes, ranging all the way from 2 to 6 feet in length, and from 10 to 20 inches in breadth. But for all pnio* tical Durposes, says J. 11 Oxley in Harper's Young People, a shoe measuring 8 feet 6 inches by 12 or 15 inches, is the best In walking, narrower shoes are used but these rarely go below ten inches.

BNOWSAOA COSTUME.

The picture represents ho Canadian snowshoo costumo. The great coat and kneebreeobos are of heavy woolen, such as blankets are made of, the cap is usually a knitted wool one as are the stockings. Th9 snowshoes are of light ash wood about half an inch thick, and at least ninety inches in length, bent to a long oval until the two ends touch, when they are fastened together with catgut. Strips of tough wood are then fitted across this frame and the intervening sections woven across with catgut.

Mr. Oxley tells how men and boys go snowshoeing, as traveling about on snowshoes is termed, many of these journeys being undertaken by an entire club, each of which aspires to malco the quickest record. The best amateur time, according to the authority quoted, for a hundred yards on the flat, is 12 1-3 seconds, so that clumsy as the racquets may seem at first glance, they are in reality a very slight bar to tho speed when the wearer is thoroughly expert in their use. "Hare and hound.-'," on snowshoes, is a sport much indulged in by the boys. Snowshoeing is very easy to learn, once one has mastered tho art of sliding one shoe over the other, with a motion similar to that made in skating, instead of lifting it up high as though wnding in daep snow, the art is acquired.

Snowshoeing is not only popular with the boys in Canada, but boys at the east are catching the infection and have been forming clubs in localities where thore has been sufficient snow to warrant it. SS§|£-?fr' »/v

The Changes of Animals.

Many everyday occurrences are in reality very wonderful. What, for instance, can be more remnrkablo than the change of a repulsive, hairy caterpillar into a beautifully formed and brightly colored butterfly Caterpillars, as we trust our young readers already know, aro produced in myriads and aro duly transformed into butterflies,

30RA. OF THK CRAB.

Not only do butterflies live the two distinct lives already described, but other insocts show changes equally striking. The little wriggler that goes turning its somersaults through tho water, in time bocomos the troublesome mosquito that sings around our pillow in the summer night,

Other animals besides insects present at different periods of their lives very unlike forms. The common crab of our sea coast, for example, when it leaves tho egg, is the strange looking creature shown in tbe engraving. This, explains The American Agriculturist, goes swimming about very rapidly, and was at one time considered as a distinct nnimnl, its relationship to the crab not being suspected. Scientists, however, discovered that after awhile this sora, as it is called, drops some of its parts, acquires legs, claws, etc., and becomes a perfect crab. These changes, as well as many others, all the while occurring in nature, are as interesting as is any story told in the wonder book*. If boys and girls learn to notice them life would never be dull, and they would soon acquire a great deal of valuable information.

TWO YEARS OF INTERESTING EXPERIENCE WITH THE NATIVES.

A Long Struggle With Danger and Suffering—Crueltjr of the Chilians—A Terrible Journey—Crossing the^Andes—A

Wonderful fish.

There ij a big room or two up at Columbia college in which are spread abroad moro wonders than were ever dreamt of in Horatio's philosophy. Birds, beasts, fishes, plants of strange nature, Indian relies and all manner of South American wonders are here, the prizes captured in a two years' struggle with danger and suffering by an American scientific investigator. The owner of these treasures is Dr. Henry H. Rosby, of Detroit, who left New York for a tour through Chili and Bolivia in the hops of discovering amid the fauna and flora of the Andes and the Amazon somo valuable additions to the medicinal riches of tho American pharmacopoeia.

Dr. Roeby's adventures were many and interesting. He met the sorocho in its native lair, did battle with the Caripuna Indians and tbo man eating fish and alligators of the Beni river, broiled in the stenches of La Paz, the filthiest city this side of Constantinople, took his daily dose of quinine like a little man, and saw the place where 5,000,000 cinchona trees aro growing, the source from which all the calisaya cocktails of the future must- come. From all this ho came out much the worso for wear, but still full of enthusiasm and confident that out of tho S00 native drugs he had examined two or tlireo would provo superior to the similar remedies now known to tho metlicr.l profession.

Dr. Rosby intended to land at Mallendo and go direct to Bolivia, but the Peruvian war prevented. Gen. Caceras wr-s making things lively for tho authorities. So ho was obliged to travel by mule from Taenia to Lj Paz, a soven days' journey, going from Arica to Taenia by rail, a tough journey across desert, without tbe shade of a spear of grass to relievo the monotony. "The whole country of Arica and Taenia has been captured by tho Chilians," said tbe doctor. "It is to be kept for ten years. At the end of that timo tho inhabitants will vote whether to remain in Chili or go back to Peru. The country which gels them must pajr 810,000,000 for the prize. Meanwhile Chili is doing everything possible to make things pleasant for tho jxiople with music and games. The Chilians' present purposo is to havo a United States of South America, capturing the other countries little by little, and gradually adding to their strength and wealth, They aro a blood thirsty people, loving war and extremely brutal in carrying it on. They murder men, women and children with impartial cruelty, ripping them open with big knives

A TEURIBLE JOURNEY

Our journey from Tacma wns one of terrible suffering. It was upon a high tablo land, reaching an elevation of 16,500 feet, and for (ivo days we journeyed at an average elevation of 14,500 feet The air wns so rarefied tbat we suffered muebvfrom sorocho, the chief symptoms of difficulty in breathing, prostrating \\&r ^vT^^kncss and bleeding at the noseanii «®eed the beautiful volcano of Ta(ij»\^^3®Uff discharges across the road a river tlHif&atcr of which is fatal to human life. Men often commit suicide on the table land, they suffer so much from sorocho. There is also great danger from lightning, which is frequent and violent. At one time three members of a party in which I was were prostrated by lightning, and fourth was stricken blind for eleven days. The wind is so violent here that trees cannot grow, aud the vegetation is mat liket closely hugging the ground.

Dr. Rosby crossed the Andes with much tribulation, and went to work among the valleys of the eastern slope. Ho advises investors to keep away from tho old Spanish silver mines, and says that any belief that they were crudely worked is a mistake. The Spaniards did not leavo much mineral richness behind in their mines. "In Bolivia," he jnid, "half the silver is counterfeit. A consul who had grown tired of making coin sold his counterfeiting machino to one of our party. Tho liveliest part of his journey was on the Beni river, where it was worth a man's life •/O take a bath, and where Ije lost his boat, his provisions and the Waterbury watches with which ho was purchasing all sorts of valuable things from tho natives. But he got through in spite of insects nnd monsters, and having only ono day of fevor in a land where fever grows on every bush, ho satisfied himself that a scientific use of quinine makes a man impervious to it.

Among the wonders which tho doctor met was a half pound fish, so sensitive that it attacked anything which caused a commotion in the water, and so fierce that it would kill horse or man in crossing a stream 100 feet wide. He found a tribe of Indians so virtuous that they tied the unfaithful to ant trees and the little insects would eat them alive, stripping the bones in less than twenty-four hours. In brief, be had a great time.—Ifew York World.

James Lick's Estate.

Mr. Cohen, of California, who has been a prominent lawyer on the coast, about the late James Lick recently said:

made the

interpretation of Mr. Lick's will, which the courts out there accepted. Like many such wills drawn up by eccentric philanthropists, its interpretation was a dubious matter. Not only was the will liable to be misconstrued, but there were heirs who came forward with claims. In order to save something to the people, I proposed that the trustees of the estate dismiai these heirs by a compromise. The principal heir got about f350,000, if I correctly remember. There will not be enough money, probably, to carry out all of Mr. Lick's provisions, bat a good deal will be done. "Mr, Lick was a rather queer man to have a passion for astronomy. I have seen him often in California. He wore a high coat collar and a strange kind of a neck scarf, and a handkerchief of a sort of an old fashioned calico pattern. The people out the.-e wonder where be got those scarfs from, as nothing lifrfr them could be found on the coast. He went oat there at an early day, and bought ground by the acre where tbe city overspread, until it was sold in costly building Iota."—"Oath" in Cincinnati Enquirer.

ago and Nutt was acquitted a prominent

and the principal diplomatists of Washington about termination of I'utt trial." Tho correspondent was stunned for afow seconds. He hardly know whether to accept tbe contents of the dispatches as the work of a punster about tho office, or one of the arbitrary and senseless freaks of an editor. Reflection convinced him that llio demand was given in sober earnestness. Tho absurdity of it was apparent at a glance. Neither the president nor members of tho cabinet would express an opinion on the verdict of tho jury, even though they had kept traco of tho trial sufficiently close to do so intelligently and justly. The diplomatists knew nothing nbout the "matter, and, if they did, would scrupulously refrain from making any comments, because tho juries in the countries outside of this settle questions and the public swallow the result unmurmuringly.

Presidents of the United States never suffer themselves to be interviewed for publication upon any subject Tho memory of the present generation of correspondents does not run back to the time when a president has authorised a person to quote him iu the prints, or even talk for general information for tho press. Occasionally a cabinet officer is interviewed, but almost invariably it is upon personal matters, as it is considered undiplomatic to be interviewed on impersonal matters, or in reference to subjects for official action. Frequently there are interviews published and credited to the president, but they are bogus. The only way in which the president can be quoted on current matters is through the third person.—Washington Cor. Indianapolis Journal.

v. Story of Washington Society. There is a secret in Washington involving the name of a senator's wife of whom tho following is told, as having occurred recently: The senator's wife in her round of visits called on a lady whose marriage within a year was one of the events talked of in official society, on account of tho high official position of her husband. The senator's wifo, as the story goes, culled on the lady's "day," and was received with much conlial politeness, tis were all callers. In a little pause after the first salutation, the senator's wifo said, "Is it ti*ue, Mrs. Blank, that you were A clerk in one of tho departments before your fii-st marriage and did your mother keep a boarding house?"

The hostess proved oqual to the unexpected assault, as she also proved herself a woman of good breeding—which cannot be said of her visitor. '•Yes," sho replied, with perfect dignity and good temper, "it is true that I was a clerk in ono of tho departments before my first marriage. But my mother did, not keep a boarding house. If she had I should have lmd a home and there would havo been no necessity for mo to be a clerk, you know."

The name of the senator's wifo is tho secret society jwople aro just now trying to find out Tho name of the woman who made the womanly answer is known and she is commended on all hands for courage nnd good sense.
