Cpou tli Lower Anlmala.
In tho l.trt issuo of tho "Transactions
of tho Vi:-.irological Society of Japau,"
Professor Milne. t!ie well known tUudeut
of volf-anio phenomena, discusses tho ef
fects of carl!iju:Ues on utiiinals. The

fish in a canal showed evident feigns of
confusion and fright: and bometimes
after an earthquake ti?;li rio to tho sur
face dead and living.
During tho Tokio earthquake of 1SS0,
cats iuhido a house ran about trying to
escape, foxes barked, horses tried to kick
down the boards confining them to their
Ftables. There can, therefore, be no
doubt that animals know something un
usual and terrifying is taking place.
Moro interesting than these aro tho ob
servations showing that animals aro agi
tated just before an earthquake. Ponies
Lave beeu knowif- prance about their
stalls, pheasants to tcream. and frogs to
cease croaking suddenly a little time bo
fore a shock, as if aware of its coming.
The Japanese say that moles show their
agitation by burrowing. Geese, pigs and
dogs apiear more sensitive in this respect
than other animals. After tho great
Calabriau earthquake It is said that the
neighing of a horse, thcrbrayingof an ass,
or t bo cackle of a gooso was sufficient to
cause tho Inhabitants to fly from their
houses in espectat ion of a shock.
Many birds aro said to show their un
easiness lK?fore an earthquake by hiding
their heads under their wings and behav
ing in an unusual manner. At tho time
of theCalabrian shock, little fish like sand
eels (cirrieclli). which are visually buried
i;i the suiid, ramo to tho top and were
caught in multitudes. In South Amer
ica certain quadrupeds, such as dogs,
cats and jerboas, aro, believed by tho peo
ple to I'ive warning of coming danger by
their rest k'ssiiiji-s; M!iictii:ic3 immense

who scarcely understood a worn oi r.ng
lish The tickets were sold ut ;r10 apiece.
but the sales were few. and tiie evening
of Patti's first appearance, or rather the
afternoon, arrived without more than a
few rows of seats sold in Steiuway hall.
At tho last moment it lecauio evident
that if Patti was not to sing to an array
of empty benches, either the price of tho
tickets must bo reuuceJ t lireo -quarters or
they must bo given away To reduce tho
price after having sold some tickets at
$1'J would havo been a concession cf fail
uro and something of an aggravation to
those who had paid 10 So it was whis
pered abnut that reputable persons v. no
wanted Patti concert tickets could havo
them for nothing by applying ut tho box
offlco Immediately a descent was made
by all tho habitues of Fourteenth street
Fvery ollico boy. every waiter in tho
neighborhood who could beg or stei.l a
sheet of writing paper sent in an applica
tion for seats, signing any name which
might be thought effective.
The collection of letters upon which
some hundreds of tickets wero given out
that afternoon has been preserved us a
curiosity. Ouo loy brought a letter ask
ing for four seats, signed by the dtiko of
Harlem, and got them Tho mayor of
Long Island, of Now Jersey, tho pro.-.hlera
of Brooklyn and a number of other hiti
officers wholly unknown in real liioj-ot
tickets. liofore evening the boys ul "ir;
Fourteenth street had t heir p-.x.kets full
of Patti tickets, which were hawked
about at 50 cents u pi ceo. The effect upon
tho business was, of coursa. disastrous,
and Mmo. Patti had to give up her con
certs in disguot. 1 shall never forget tho
face of tho famous prima donna as she
gazed upon that audieuco in Steinway
hall. Instead of the eiito of the town in
dress coats and wdiite chokers, silks and
satins, tho front rows wero tilled with
persons who hid evidently never pos
sessed dress coats in their lives. It was
u!l that Patti could do to keep back her
tears of indignation. Philip G. Hubert,

in dirty hovels built on fiat boats. Such

The working classes make a comfortable
riving, apparently without great exertion.
The principal product of tho country now
Is tho banana. Formerly Honduras, was
a great sugar reducing country, and
largo arc-as of land were devoted to rais
ing sugar cane, but owing to low prices
the crop became unprovable and the
farmers havo' nearly all turned their at
tention to the cultivation of bananas.
Plantains and cocanuis. also flourish
thero- Lemons and oranges aro cultivat
ed to a very limited extent, and the
Indians in tho interior of the country
raise some corn.
The banana crop, however, is the chief
source of revenue in tho country,' and it
is a very profit abla crop. Tho larger

It doear'p cost so very' much to kill men
in the west.. Of course you cannot cut or
shoot a man dowu with impunity, and
murder is sometimes as severely punished
there as it is anywhere else; but what I
mean to say is that it doesn't cost much
to kill a man by accident. Yon frequently
hear of cave' ins In mines or fractured
skulls by falling down winzes or shafts,
and the thought that comes to you natur
ally is that the mine ownsrs have to pay
3,C0Q pr $10,000 damages.' That isn't so.
X skjt w hile ago' four men were tilled in
a' mine near Leadyillo. TLpy were Ital
ians, and the widuws or families cf the
men were more than delighted to receive
$l.0C0 and tho funeral expenses. In the
same mine more than ten men have been
killed, and never more than $1,000 has
been paid. Tho plan in hq vpst, when a
man is killed til a nune and tbo Company
is'eom?whftt to ' blame, is to go right to
the heirs and make a settlement? Most
of the laborers aro Italians, and their
people take $1,000 as quickly as it is of

little excrtisa and too much iced water.
The result is that Lnglish girls are able
to hi ing a move rocato bloom to their

RiiHia'H New Ituitway Route.
The Siberian Pacific railroad has not
yet been commenced, and already a new
Silcriau railway Is projected. It will bo
called after the" river Obi. Its connection
with tho bed of that stream and with a
suitable port to tho west of Walgatz
islaud will open a double new road to Si
beria by laud and by water. It is pro
pesed to "circumvent" the mouth of the
river Obi, tho peninsula of Yalmal, and
tho Kara sea, which aro difficult of access,
owing to the masses of drifting ice. Tho
new route will only bo 400 versts long,
taking a northwesterly direction from the
mouth of the river Obi to the AValgatz
sea, in a bay of which a harbor is to be
built. Tho site chosen for this harbor is
sheltered from the wind by tho I'uo-Ch.cJ
mountains.
The country being level and well stud
ded with forests, tho construction of tho
line will offer little difficulty. Tho entire

Wo are disposed to adopt the customs

consideration why they c-i.-a there, and
tho possibility that they rtj not necessary
in our eouvd ry. i"'o long as. the French
natuo v.-as coiisulcrt'd the nvst military
power' in the world, we used Frenf i't tac
tics end wore French uniforms. When
tho Germans conquered the French we
donned tho helmet. Y.'o adhere to rigid
lines in ranks and drills, raid to unneces
sarily complicated systems, when every
officer cf experience knows that they
have no value and are not used in actual
warfare.
A jyinnby4. or- the national guard is
liable'to think' that lie knows the whole
art of war if ho can take tho pri.-.o at a
competitive drill or a target practice, on
aa armory floor and with an tm-'.e.sivueted
range. In actual war he would not bo
able t;G accomplish the facings in a plowed
Geld any better than tho volimteerof a few
weeks, and tho accuracy of hi 1ik would
be materioUv pTrctd by the nufamiliar
ground and tho knowledge that there was
an enemy who might firo first. Modern
warfare is influenced in a greatly dimin
ished degree by what remains to ns of tiie
tactics of Frederick the Great and' his
time. All that is yer vsodo'f the'cudless
drillirvgj when id actual campaign, is the
f.assing from column into line and from
ine into column bv the simplest methods,
and no other movements, no matter how
favorable the ground r how perfect tho

Robert Louis Stevenson's Mistake,
The other day, when reading Mr. Ste
venson's charming story, "Prince Otto'
1 came across, the following:
"The. night was warm and windless. A
shaving of new moon had lately arisen;
but it was still too small and too low
down in heaven to contend with the im
mense host of lesser luminaries.
Mr. Stevenson is commonly supposed to,
bo an accurate observer of nature, and yet
here vro havo him writing of the new
moon as having been 'lately arisen, when,
in fact it must havo been Just about set
ting. But this is not alh a sortof
double barreled blunder ho makes tlra
time of this remarkable rising to bo 3
o'clock a. ui., that is to say, when such a
moon as ho describes (say two days Uldi
must have been, not merely invisible, b
at its very lowest point below the horizon,
midway between setting and -risin.---F.
