The recent death of the black parrot in the Zoological gardens hasraised once more the numerous questions touching the longevity of the lower animals. When the Corocopsis ar- Tived from Madagascar it wasan adult bird— how old it is impossible to say—and it lived in Regent's Park for fifty-four years, or somewhat longer than any other inmate of the place where its long career was passed. Parrots bear the reputation of attaining a creat age, though not improbably this is owing to the fact that being so commonly kept in captivity their days can be more easily ascertained than those of wild » Every one must remember the plaintive story of Humboldt finding among the Maypures ofthe Orinoco a parrot whose language no- body understood, for he spoke the tongue of the Atures, an Indian tribe against whom war and pestilence had dore their worst. All day long this venerable bird sat blinkingin the sun- light, chattering the pollysyilables of its van- ished masters, and in its person warning the favages around cf the fate that might soon over- take them also. The incident is one which ap- peals to the imagination, though it would be easy enough to duplicate It from othe parts of y Prof. rnst Curtius long before he was known as the first of Greek scholars. “Where,” he asks, ‘are | now the youth who bred him to pronounce their mother tongue; where the gentle maids whoted him and who built his nest when young. Swift the savage turns his rudder, when his eyes the bird behold. None eer saw without a shudder the Aturian parrot old.” Yet there can be little deubt but that if the opportunities for observa- tion were more frequent it would be discovered that many birds attain a very advanced age. Thousands must die every year, yet it is seldom that we come across one t has suceumbed to natural causes. After astorm. a severe frost, or during the progress of one of those epidemics which decimate certain species of animals, the victims may, of course, be frequent- y met with. But it is singular how rarely we see any of the numerous migratory or resident species which can be pronounced to lave succumbed to disease or old age, A field mouse, a shrew, a water vole, a mole, a weasel, or even a bat or rabbit, cominon as’ they are, can hardly ever be seen dead except when there is a strong suspicion of their haying fallen vic- tims to one of their many enemies. What be- comes of them? Do they’ creep into holes and retired spots when they feel the powers of lite waning? Or do their companions conceal their bodies in the earth? Or are their corpses so speedily devoured by the roaming earnivera that the opportunity of seeing them is seldom vouclisafed to us? Be this as it may—and the last hours of the lower animals constitute one ot those obscure corners of natural history which still remain to be explored—we may take it for granted that no created being enjoys an even approximate immortality. Every organism must in time run its course and decay, though, unquestionably, some of the simpler tissues are so readily and so frequently renewed that {t Is difficult to fix any limit to their duration, Asa rule, the more complicated the structure the le: ice the organism has of prolonging a merely vege- tative existence. Many insects, after attaining their perfect condition, never see a second day’ sunlight. These beings, it may be argu somewhat complicated as ‘heir anatomy. On the other hand, most of the infusoria are so little differentiated that, like the wheel ani- mateule, they can be dried up, and revived by coming in contact with water. Yet, several which have been watched are affirmed to have ended their career within forty-eight hours.

It_ is, however, known that the size of an animal bears no ratio to its longevity. Most of the sinaller birds die atter five or six years, while the blackbird, coldineh and canary are affirmed by Dr. Mc on What be rega as authentic data, to live for nearly that. brief span. Sir Kichard Owen has ed some relation between tite life of an animal and its period of gestation, and. the sooner a being maturity the sooner it dies. Food, cli- and those individual peculiarities which the psalmist sums up by describing them as “by reason of more strength,” will no. doubt affect che aze of man and the other animals, and as these qualities are transuitable, the tendent to short life or longevity becomes hereditary. In Prussia, for example, the averaze duration ob life 1s 28.18 years; in Schleswis-Hols Lauenberg It 1s 39.8, while in Naples it is 31.65 years, or three years less than the rule! ‘The negro lives loner in America than in Seneg: and longer than the whites around him Lapp is much wirier than his Swedish neighbor, bat the Indian is neither better nor worse in tuis respect than the pale-face. We still lack extended observations on the aze of domestic imals in different countries. ‘There cannot, nevertheless, be any doubt that it would vary, for just as man cannot get completely accliuna- tized in certain regions, so do his humble tole lowers and servants experience a like inabili to modify their constitutions in accordance wil their fresh surroundings. Dr. Potter Thrashes Two Cowboys, From the Troy Telecram, The Hon. James M. Woolworth, chancellor of the Episcopal diocese of Nebraska, relates an in- teresting sequel to the modern Mazeppa ro- mance published inthe Globe-Democrat’s Omaha dispatches about June 12, President Potter, of Hobart College, who had just been elected bishop of Nebraska, was making a tour of the cattle country in August, in compapy with Woolworth. At Paxton Branch, on the Ogallala Land and Cattle company’s range, they heard that Wilson, the man who tied Burbank on the broncho’s back and turned him adrift on the prairies, had been caught, and was held pris- oner at Blue Creek ranch, sixty miles distant. Bishop Potter drove over there the next day, and learned that Wilson was to be killed at sun- down. The bishop implored the two cowboys who were guarding the prisoner to release him, but they were relentless. After pleading and praying with them foralong time Dr. Potter concluded they were past such influence, and wound up by giving them both a thrashing. This done, he unbound Wiison, who straddled a pony and escaped. ‘The affair made the bishop ahero among the ranchmen, and he was in- duced to write a detailed account of the rescue to his friends in the east. ue its ‘simple | AUCTION SALES.
