It is now well established, as a re

the winds and ocean currents very;

cause have also a potent influence la

and all animals whose symmetry ia

Natural Science for the last two
months gives some very interesting
fact with regard to the way in whlctt
animals can gradually adapt them
selves to new conditions, even whea
those conditions are at first fatal. Krora
an account In the Pittsburg Dispatch,
it appears that in the cold storaga
warehouses la Pittsburg there were
originally no rats nor mice. The tem
perature In the cold rooms was too
low. But after a few months rats were
at work in the rooms where the tem
perature was constantly kept below
the freezing point, and they wera
clothed in long and thick fur.
The Hawllan Islands, as the result
of recont exploration, have been found
to be richer in animal life than was
formerly supposed. As the result of
a year's Investigation by the British
Association, through its committee, it
has been found that of birds there are
seventy-eight species, of which fifty
seven are peculiar to this group. All
' "a ycvuiiitr Ml mis group,
the land and fresh water shells
are
peculiar; and of a thousand species of
Insects. 700 are not found elsewhere.

Experiments with Prof. Langley'a
flying machine have been la progress
for some time past, a long series of
private trials having been conducted
at Quantico, near Washington, D. C.
At last the possibility of flight baa
been proved. A trial of the machine
was made on December 13, and the
aeroplane successfully accomplished a
flight of 300 yards. This was not the
first flight. This, in eonnection with
Maxim's work, goes far to Indicate
the possibility that we may yet see a
succe-rui aeroplane flying machine.
We hope soon to have particulars of
the further trial trips. Scientific Am

RELIGIOUS NOTES.
The Rev. Dr. John J. Paton, the fa
mous missionary ot the New Hebridea
Islands, has returned to his work,
after visiting the churches extensively;
ia Great Britain, America and Aus
tralia. According to a French newspaper,
there are in the French Academy
three Protestants, Victor Cherbullez,
Leon Say and M. De Freyctnet; one
freethinker, Alexandre Dumas; on
atheist, M. Challemel Lacour, while
nearly every one of the rest is a nom
inal Catholic.
The evils which flow frem the use of
intoxicating drinks are spreading;
wherever the hand of civilized man
can reach. The selfishness which
members of Christian nations allow
themselves to show, ia commercial
transactions of this kind, is glaring;
and inexcusable. Callousness to suf
fering and to tha ruin of soul and body

Valuable Discovery of Philadelphia Mound
Explorers in Florida.
A wonderful find has been made in
Lake count, Florida, by a party of
specialists from the Philadelphi
cademy of Natural Sciences. These
specialists are under the direction of
Professor C. B. Moore and are ex
nloring the Indian mounds in Lake
:ountv. Two of these mounds were
examined. In one only a few arrow
tieads. some singular pieces of pottery
ina a tew human bones were found
In the other, however, some remark
able records were discovered.
Among these were a number of
hatchets, made of wood, overlaid with
!rass, which were evidently weapons
)t wariare. Ihcse hatchets were
ichly chased and bore mysterious
characters that resemble the micro
lyphics of Egypt. In the mound
ere also found the corpses of twenty
five Indians in a remaikable state of
preservation. Professor Moore says
t is evident that an embalming pro
cess had been used on the Indians
The corpses were lying side by side
ind on the breast of each was a gold
coin, which bore a strange device,
Two of the Indians are of gigantic
size and the rij'.ht hand of each clasps
one of the brpss hatchets. About the
neck of each of the Indians is a string
if curiously carved beads. Vessels
curiously wrought in clay were found
by the side of the corpses. Each of
these vessels contained a handful of
Indian corn.
Professor Moore says that it is im
possible to determine accurately the
ige ot these mounds, but says that
ihey are evidently pre-Columbian.
Ihe relics will be removed to the
Academy of Natural Sciences at Phila
delphia.
