THE FEROCIOUS MOLE.
A Very Small Animal But a Great
Fighter.
It I Claimed by Zoologltte That, Accord
Ins to ! This I'ndcrgrroaod
Worker I the Mont Savage
of the Quadruped.
'What is the fiercest animal in the
world?" asked a Washing-ton Star writer
of a zoologist.
"The mole," he replied. "You are
surprised, but such, in my opinion, is
the fact. I'eople ordinarily look upon
the mole as a slugish and harmless
creature, spending its life in groping1
blindly underground. As usual the pop
ular idea is a mistaken one. The mole
is in reality the most fencious and
most active of animals. Imagine it
magnified to the si.e of a tiger and you
would have a more terrible beast than
the world has yet seen. Though with
defective powers of vision and there
fore incapable of following its prey by
sight, it would le agile beyond concep
tion, springing this way and that as it
went along, leaping with lightning
quickness upon any creature which it
met, rending it to ph-ees in a moment,
devouring the yet warm and bleeding
flesh and instantly seeking, with hun
ger insatiable, for a fresh victim. This
creature would, without hesitation, de
vour a serpent twenty feet in length,
aud so tremendous would be its voraci
ty that it would eat twenty or thirty
such snakes in the course of a day.
With one grasp of its teeth and a single
clutch of its claws it could disembowel
an ox. and if it should happen to enter
a fold of sheep or an inclosure of cattle
it would kill them all for the mere lust
of slaughter.
"Let two such animals meet and hww
terrific would be the battle! Fear is a
feeling which the mole seems never to
entertain. In conflict with an adver
sary of its own kind its efforts are ex
clusively directed to injuring its op-1
ponent, without regard for its own nre
tection. An examination of the skel
eton of a mole will repay your trouble,
so wonderful is its adaptation of struc
ture to its manner of life. It looks
like a veritable machine for digging
and it has several accessory bones which
are not found in any other living beast,
being discovered only in certain fossil
forms.
"The mole is gifted with incredible
activity. It pursues the earth worms on
which it chiefly feeds with an energy
that is untiring, and. when it has caught
one, it devours the prey like a starving
tiger, rending it with its powerful
claws and teeth. Occasionally it will
capture a bird and tear it into frag
ments, devouring eagerly the bleeding
flesh. During the latter part of June
Mr. Mole falls in love, and in his at
tachments he is as furious as in all other
phases of his nature. At that period he
cannot meet another male of his kind
without fighting, very often to the
death. He constructs a bridal chamber
for his chosen spouse at the intersection
of two of his tunnels, so that there is
more than one way of escape for her
self and the young ones in case danger
threatens. This chamber is partly
filled with drietl grass tor a couch, and
it is always at some distance from Mr.
Mole's dwelling proper.
"The subterranean dwelling of Mr.
Mole is a wonderful labyrinth. Xo
human being, could very well find his
way about in it, supposing that its di
mensions were sufficiently magnified to
ail in it his passage through the maze of
tunnels. The .latter compose a net
work as complicated as that of the
sewers of a metropolis. It must not be
imagined that the animal burrows at
random. On the contrary, it works on
a well-defined system, though how it
forms its burrows in such admirably
straight lines, always laboring in the
blackest darkness, is mystery.
"The home of the beast is in a hillock
under the shelter of some tree or bank,
so as to Ik inconspicuous. Here is its
center of operations, from which regu
lar roads lead oft in different directions
to its feeding grounds. If yon dig into
the hillock you discover a very elab
orate and wonderful structure. The
central apartment of the dwelling is a
nearly spherical chamber, around
which run two circular passages, one
on a level with the ceiling and the other
at some height above. The upper circle
is much smaller than the lower one.
live short and nearly vertical passages
connect these galleries with each other.
W hen Mr. Mole enters his house from
one of the tunnels he has first to get
into the lower gallery, thence to ascend
into the upper gallery and so descend
into the ehamlicr. However, there is
another entrance to the chamber from
lielow by a passage which dips down
ward from the middle of the spherical
rMm, then curving upward and finallv
opening into one of the bigger tunnels
or highroads. f these highroads there
are seven or eight.
"Owing to the peculiar habits of the
mole comparatively little is known
about the animal and his ways. The
use of this labyrinth and complicated
system of tunnels, the latter usually
extending over, or rather under, a very
great space of ground, is in some degree
a mystery. One object of the arrange
ment is doubtless that the owner in case
of alarm shall be able to make his
escape. By the continual pressure of
the animal's fur the wails of the chain
ber and passages are rendered smooth,
hard and polished, bo that the roof will
not fall in even after the most severe
storm. The mole can swim excellently
and it often sinks wells for the purpose
of obtaining water to drink. In fact, it
possesses most varied accomplishments,
and I consider that in point of ferocity,
activity and voracity it is superior even
to the great cats of the tropics."
Patriotism and Pay.
Talking of national emblems the
other day while calling on a friend, I
said I thought ours the most beautiful
flag in the world, and that when
abroad the sight of the stars and stripes
made my heart jump for joy.
My friend's seamstress, who was
sewing in the room, remarked, some
what sadly: .
"Von would lose some of your pa
triotism if you made those same flags,
as my sister does."
"Why?" I demanded.
"Because." was the reply, "you'd
have to live on bread and salt. The
white stars are set on the blue ground
by hand. There are forty-five, I think.
They are placed on both sides alike, so
that makes ninety to be basted and
felled on, and it must be done neatly,
too.
"The pay is from sixty to seventy
five cents for that portion of the flag,
and by working from morning till
night as hard as she can, my poor sis
ter, who is a quick sewer, can just fin
ish one in a day, for which she receives
sixty cents.
"She says she can't say hurrah for
the red, white and blue with much
fervor." N. V. Recorder.
Amount of Halt In All Oceana.
Expert hydrographers and others of a
furious turn of mind and a faculty for
figuring on things that seem impossible
of solution have concluded that the
waters of the oceans and seas of our
globe hold not Jess than 50,000,000,000,
000,000 tons of salt in suspension! If
these figures are correct and the oceans
should be entirely dried up, there would
be a deposit of salt 450 feet deep over
every foot of the great basin. If taken
out and spread upon what Is now dry
Land it would give us a salt covering
axMsly 1,500 fact thick.

THE INDISPENSABLE NAPKIN!
It Waa Kirttt I etl Only by Children and
hr-irne-l by Kltirra.
Curiously enough that article now
con.idi.'ri'd aliunst iiilii4pnsabl.-, the
table napkin, was tirxt usi-l only by
children, says the Youth's Companion,
and was only tult-pUnl by older meinlH-rs
of the family about the midillo of tins
fifteenth century. In etiquetto IhjoU
of un earlier date than this, anions
other sasfe pieces of advice fur children,
are instructions alKiut wiping their
tiiiperssind lips with th-ir napkins.
It sti-nis that the table -loth was lonr
enoti-jh to reach the floor ant! served the
pnwn jKMiple in place of napkins. When
they didlx-frin to use napkins they placed
them first on the t.hotilder. then on the
left aim. ami filially t'utl them atnt the
neck. A French writer, who evidently
was conservative ami did not w Iconic
the napkin kindly, records, with scorn:
"The napkin is placed under the chin
aud fastened in the back, as if me were
uroinjf to le shaved. A (HTson tld me
that he wore his that way that he
iniirht not soil his lcaiitifu! frills."
It was a dirlicult matter t. tie the
two corners in the back, ami it is said
that thence originated our cxpressi.m
for straitenetl circumstances: "Hard
to make Ixith ends meet." This custom
led to the habit of the table waiters of
carryin-r a napkin on the left arm.
Napkins liccamc popular in France
sooner than in jnrlniil. At one time
it was customary at rrcat French din
ners to change the napkins at every
course, to jHTfume them with ros?
water and to have them folded a differ
ent way for each frucst.
About lf,.",ti I'ierre Oavid publishetl
the "Maistre d"ll.stel." "which
teaches how to wait on a tabic prcr
ly ami how to fold all kinds of table
nankins in all kinds of shapes."
The shapes were: "Square, twisted,
folded in bands ami in t he forms of a
double and twisted shell, sinirle shell,
double melon, single melon, cock, hen
ami chickens, two chickens, pijreou in
a basket, partrid.ro. pneasant.- tvo

Soap llul.liles I'liotocraplietl in the Art of
lliirstinif.
Electricity has ln-en tloinjr some pret
ty work in the photorraphinj; of
dropri of water, ami I'mf. V. V. Koys in
a recent lecture yave illustrations of
what had been a comolished. says the
Ietroit Free IVcss. lie tirr.t showed
photo-rraphs taken by the clot-trie spark
of soap bubliles in the act of bursting,
ami explained the process ly which it
is ossilile to ascertain the respective
speetl at which dilTcrent soap bubbles
burst. One photograph showeil an issue
of liquid from a very small pile, which
to the naketl eye appeared to be a jht
fect stream, but which, on an ele-tri?
photograph beiu; taken, was resolved
into a lM-atitifnl and regular series of
drops. In connection with this l'rof.
Uoys remarked that the. science of
liquids ami of the forces involved in the
phenomena of the surface of liquids
was one of the most interesting branch
es of physical science. The cited on a
fountain of playing or sinyiiifr was to
change its appearance into one. two or
three apparently separate, clear streams
of liquid, but a photograph taken as a
tutiinf fork was struck demonstrated
that the water was disposed in drops in
perfect regularity. A picture of a rille
bullet, passing through the air at the
rate of two thousand feet second, was
also exhibited, l'rof. I! ys, however,
showed that if it were wished to inves
tigate what was really happetiinir when
a rille bullet was Wmir projected
through the air at the maximum p ssi
ble speed, it would lo necessary to have
ris-ourse to a method of illutuiiiatioii in
finitely more rapid than the elct trt-.'
spark. For this purpose a mirror of
steel, alut the size of a twenty-five
cent piece, is now used. It is so mount
ed as to revolve with ease without evt
tin;r hot at the -norm-us speed of one
thousand times a se oinl. an I th end of
the lK-atu of lijht iveii oil' from this
mirror passes across the s.-rts:'ii at such
a rate that it enables photographs t.ili,'

bst of those w ho have experienced
the miseries of seasickness, however
they mi-ht ditTVr in minor details of
statement. Would a-jrec in ascribit;'
this most dispirit in malady to oiic
tuain eaust the motion of the ship. In
so far the whole medical facility would
concur in l heir decision. '1 his, then, is
the central f.n-t which confers 1 1 ; o i
the disorder its unique position. It is
really not a pathological, but a phvsio
lofTical list urbatice, coiiclutles the Lon
don Lancet.
It has no natural connection with
dyspepsia. The robust and healthy, by
a strange contradict ion, sutTt-r from it
for the time hardly less than the weak
ami ill. Its variations of intensity are
felt to be counterparts of men' Iwwlilv
oscillation. Some find relief from it in
-hanre of josturc, others in active occu
pation, all more or less when their
storm tossed vessel sails under the lee
if land. Custom and use commonly
secure immunity. Those are circum
stances which one and all point to
mechanical causation as a source of the
discomfort.
It is the unaccustomed rise and fall,
the jerk and relaxation of loosely at
tached aldominal viscera, mainly, jht
haps. but not alone, of the stomach,
acting upon the central connections,
which must lx-ar the brunt of accusa
tion. It follows that successful treat
ment cannot Ik- p-uaranteotl by any tine
method or panacea, neoumlieney. pure
deck air, moderately firm bantla-in of
the ImmIv are all useful. Irurs have
their place ami their partial utility;
but, as we have already sujrycstcd,
there is no remedy equal to a lee shore.
Nothing can lc much more depress
ing than seasickness, ami for this reason
we should strongly advise all weak
persons not to encounter, if possible,
the risk of its ooeurrcn-e. It is suston
ishintr how soon ami how complotcly
those who are favored with a fair
measure of const itutional elasticity re
cover from its depression. In their ease
the 1 K in-fits of a sea trip may thus,
with eomMnsatioiis "of air, diet ami
appetite, le even enhanced by a few
hours tif mtH-hanical nausea. It Is, In
truth, for such K-rsons only that tours
of this kind are advisable.

THE NESTORIAN HERESY.
It Haa Haan In Eililenen tor Nearly- I"tf
twem Hwadrwat Veara.
The Xtnstorians, a stoall community
of Christians tnvtablished in Asia Minor,
in the t-nTirons of Mosul. have ajfreed,
says the Levant Herald, to embrace
Catholicism and join1 the Chaldeana.
The Nestoriana and Chaldeana belong
to the same race. Hie patriarch Mar
Shiinoun is the head of the Nestorian
church. II U jrrace Mgr. Elia is the
spiritual chief of the Catholic Chal
ieans, who spetk the tune language
as the Nebtoriana. For a long time
past an aotire wtrrespondence bad been
going on between the two patriarchs.
Mar Shimoun. residing at Djoulamerg,
and Mgr. Elia at MutmuL The question
was fully discussed in these letters of
the union of the two communities,
which have almost the same religious
rites and, as said before, are of the same
race and speak the same language. The
result of this exchange of opinions has
teen to establish a basis of understand
ing for the union, which is to be effect
ed under the following conditions: Mar
Shiinoun. the Nestorian patriarch, and
his flock embrace Catholicism; the
prelate will continue' for the remainder
of his life to exercise bis spiritual
authority over the Nestorian. under
the jurisdiction of Mgr. Elia. Upon
his death no other Nestorian patri
arch will te nominated, the re
ligious affairs of the community
being administered by a ricar appointed
by Mgr. Elia or his fcuccesors. The
vicar will be helped in his task by a
council composed of notabilities of the
Nestorian eommuuity and lie will be
directly responsible to Mgr. Elia and
his sutsisrsbors. This agreement has
been accepted by the two patriarchs
ami the respective communities. The
two prelates were to have an interview
on the '7th ult. at Itessika, a village
situaUid tetween Mossul and lljoula
merg, in order to fix upon the final con
ditions of the reunion.
The Nestorian heresy dates from the
fifth century, says JSt. James' tiazette
(London).' Its author, or chief sup
porter, Nestorius, was bishop of Con
stantinople from 42H to 431. The
heresy, which is basexl upon the dis
tinction between the divine and the
human nature of Christ, consists in
denying that the Virgin Mary was the
mother of liod. This doctrine was con
demned by the third general council,
held at Ephesus in 431, and Nestorius
was deMsed from . bis bishopric and
subsequently banished. Applications
for help and instruction were made by
the Nestorians to the late Archbishop
Tait, and the present archbishop of
Canterbury sent a mission in 1SS6 to ex
pound the doctrines and ritual of the
established church. It would seem,
however, that they prefer those of
Uouie.

'"The much-admired gift of extempo
raneous speaking is disappearing, said
l'rof. Williamson, of Texas, to a St.
Louis Olobe-Democrat writer. "In this
connection the ordinary after-dinner
platitudes occupying five or ten iniu
utes, which seem like five or ten hours,
are not meant. I have reference to a
speech of an hour or longer. It is
almost impossible nowadays to hear a
speaker make a speech of any length
that is really extemporaneous. Per
haps such speeches never Were entirely
spontaneous as was claimed, but they
were more so than the so-called ex
temporaneous speeches we hear now
adays. 'I remember hearing one speech in
my life that I am satisfied was delivered
without preparation, however, and it
was an eloquent one. too. It was in
California in 49. We were busy at
work, a crowd of us, getting out gold,
and one night two brothers named
liurke popular fellows lost every
ounce of their dust. Some thief had
crept into the tent and stolen it. Sus
picion fell at once, and without any
reason, on an Englishman in the crowd,
who had held himself aloof from every
one. A search of his tent found more
dust than it seemed reasonable for him
to have accumulated, and he was at
once taken to a tree with a rope around
his neck and given fifteen minutes to
pray. The fifteen minutes reached an
hour anil a half, and such a llow of elo
quence upon the subject of circumstan
tial evidence I have never heard liefore
or since. Its power may be imagined
when I tell you that the crowd in that
country aud in that day was influenced
to change the verdict of capital punish
ment to banishment and confiscation of
his property. He . walked down to
Frisco and took a job as barten
der. A month after we found that the
cook we had in camp was the thief, aud.
after stringing him up, I was sent to
hunt up the Englishman and turn his
property back to him. His name was
kivt-rs, and he was a 'varsity man in
England, and a senior wrangler, I
found when I met him. He had a pile
of several thousand dollars, and went
straight to England. I never heard of
him afterward, but I will never forget
that eloquent and extemporaneous ad
dress." A Flttjht with a Walrua.
A few weeks ago the crew of the seal
ing schooner (Kt ar had a lively experi
ence olf Clayoquot, a little place on
Vancouver island. One seal had been
caught early in the morning, and at
about ten o'clock the hunter in one of
the Ixiats noticed two heads some twen
ty yards in front of hhn. The fog partly
obscured objects at any distance, and
the hunter thought the heads were those
of seal. He shot, and the discharge of
his gun was followed by a shriek of ag
ony from one of the animals, which at
ouce made for the boat- The men then
became aware that a large female wal
rus, wounded and infuriated, was after
them. She nse up out of th water,
and grasping thu side of the toat with
her powerful tusks trjed to overturn it
There was a fight of several minutes,
the men endeavoring to beat the wal
rus oir with oar blades and paddles.
Finally a shot through the head killed
her, and she was towed back to the
schooner as the great prize of the sea

"Well, Sam," said one of his friends,

the same story over and. over, Mwhy in

What!" ejaculated the complaining
officer, whose reasoning power had
evidently become a little confused
through meditation on his wrong,
"do you suppose for one instant that I
would take twenty dollars for a griev

the field to see what time it was. In

look at the clock without i.ayiny a word

clear I could tell by the uu withiu ten

jrot ao that he could gruess almost as

noon I told Kite to fly to the house and
bring nie the time. The crow cocked
hit. head to one bide, glanced up at the
bun, and said: "It's live minutes to two,
John! I told him it waa later than that,
and he flew to the house and back aud
said: 'It'a two minutes to two!" and he
was right.
"The crow got feeble the w inter after
he was five years old. He couldn't
stand the cold, aud 1 kept hint iu a Imx
half full of bhaviugs liehind the stove.
He lost his appetite soon after t-v
Year's, aud one night win u I had v. .t

"I saw a good, motherly old lady
shamefully swindled in New Orleans
one day," said a traveler to a St. Louis
li lobe-Democrat man. "A vessel hud
just come in from South America and
brought w ith it a very large ami hand
some parrot. It was the property of an
Italian sailor. He ca...c ashore with
I'ollv perched on his shoulder aud was
st Kin stopped by the old lady in ques
tion, w ho inquired if he would sell the
bird. That was his business ashore,
but he did not consider it necessary to
alverti.se that fact in black-faced type.
After telling the necessary amouut of
'trading lies' he offered to part with
l'olly for fifty dollars. The old lady
looked disappointed aud tuiyied away.
As she did so the bird began to sing
'Xearer, My liod, to Thee.' She turned
and came back. The parrot began to
chatter to her: 'Xica woman! Nica
lady! Me lika nica lady! l'olly kiss
nica lady!' That settled it. She paid
the fifty dollars and took the cage. As
she started off the bird screamed out:
'Where in hella you mala to wit hade
l'oll!' It ripped, bwore aud black
guarded her shamefully. She dropted
the cage aghast, aud the bird screeched:
'You break a my damn necka. huh?'
Then followed Keveral forcible but in
elegant expressions about old women
in general and that unfortunate speci
men in particular. She went back to
the sailor and said, very meekly: 'My
good man, 1 guess I won't take the
bird after all.' 'Oh, you no taka tie
bird, huh' 1 give you fifteen dollars
fora de bird, said the sailor. Well,
there was no help for it. She couldn't
take the blasphemous feathered bijn-d
home, so she took her fifteen dollars
aud her departure, while tears of morti
fication streamed down her withered
cheeks. 1 chanced out in the residence
part of the city that afternoon and saw
the sailor negotiating with a new- cus
tomer, l'olly was at her old tricks and
insisted on kissing the 'nica lady.' "
