The liing of Denmark's "sort of new invented guns, which beta- hut once charged will discharge many times, one after another," in 1657, would seem to have had rivals about the same period. Pepys twice refers to such. On July 3, 16G2, -when "at the Dolphin -with the officers of the ordnance, after dinner was brought to Sir. W. Coinpton a gun to discharge 6even times, tho best of all devices that ever I saw and very serviceable, and not a bawble, for It If much approved of, and many thereof made." And on March 4, 1C63-4, he mentioned "a new fashion gun to ehoot often, one after another." Notes and Querlei. Tho Baseball ritcher. The famous base ball pitcher had walked the floor with the youngest of his family for an hour or so. "Mary," said he, "if the manager saw mo now, I bet I'd get soaked with a fine."

Tho record for quickly increasing population, as shown by the recent census, says a Paris correspondent, certanly belongs to Roubaix.

There is certainly no other town in France where the population has In creased so rapidly. The rate of In crease is ten times thai of the rest of France and three times that of Paris.

The eocoanut crab is one of the odd est specimens of the whole crab, family. He lives in the South Islands, and Biakcs a diet of cocoanuts. This species has a pair of front legs ter minated with a strong pair of pinchers, and It is with these that he husks the nuts and breaks through the weakest portion of the shell. The crab begins by tearing the husk, fiber by fiber, and alw.s at the end where the eyeholes of tha nut are situated, that being tho weakest place in the shell. When tho husk has been removed the crab com mences hammering the shell with Ttis heavy claws, and soon makes an open ing, through which he extracts tho meat of the nut Mr. Darwin, writing of this crab, siys: "I think this Is as curious a case of instinct as I ever heard of, especially in structures so re mote from each other in the scheme of nature as a cocoanut and a crab."
