I noticed a native squatting on the raft, and saw what at first I thought were a number of ducks grouped at one end of it. They were all faced toward the Chinaman, and he was gazing stead- ily at them with his hands on his knees. 1 stopped to see what was going on. Suddenly the man extended his right hand, palm upward, toward one ot the birds, which I then saw were not ducks, for the one the Chinaman reached his hand to waddied as briskly as it could to- ward him, and hopped on the open palm. The man stroked its feathers fondly, rubbed his cheek along Its neck, which he kissed now and then, and talked to it in Chinese, evidently in endearing terms. The bird seemed delighted. It laid its head on the Chinaman’s arm, rubbed its peculiar bill against his face, and returned all his caresses. This lasted at least a minute, and then the man moved with the bird to the further side ot the float, and placed it on the edge. Then for the first time it came to me that this was a Chinese fisherman, working with cormorants. “When the cormorant was placed on the edge of the raft it dipped its bill in the water, snapped it together loudly, looked up and down the side of the float, turned its head and fixed its glis- tening black eyes an instant on its master, and then slid beneath the surface without a sound, scarcely leaving a ripple behind it. The China- man seated himself again and awaited the re- appearance of his bird without any apparent concern or anxiety. The other birds remained standing at the end of the ratt, almost motion- less, ‘and without removing theireyes from their master. The bird that had dived into the water remained beneath the surface for proba- bly a quarter of a minute, and then reappeared, popping almost out of the water as it came up. The lower haif of a fish protruded from its mouth. The bird swam straight to the raft, climbed upon it, and. jamping on its master’s knee, held its head up for him to remove the fish.” The Chinaman pulled the fish from the bird's mouth with one hand, while he stroked its neck and plumage with the other, and whis- | pered words of approval. The ‘cormorant shook out its feathers and showed Hs delight in various ways. Again its master placed it on the edge ot the raft, and once more it glided noiselessly in the water. The other birds main- tained their stolidity, apparently unmindtul of what was going on around them. The cormo- rant that was fishing appeared ina short time, and again had made a successful dive. The same caressing was gone through with, and the bird was started in the water a third time. It now seemed to be thoroughly warmed up to its work, and went at it with an avidity that showed plainly the pleasure it tool: in it. The third time it was gone longer than usual, and when it finally came up it had no fish. The From the New York World. Among the most remarkable of all extinct animals yet discovered may be named the Zuglodon. This ancient paleontological crea- ture was once an inhabitant of the vast lagoons that once existed near the mouth of the Mis- sissipt river. He was found in the great lime- stone beds inthe state ot Alabema, where in solid rock he reposed entombed-{or at least a thousand centuries. His great body passed into gases and ashes, and the mould which was made by his skeleton filled with carbonate of lime and became solid. So the celebrated Dr. Kock, the great German paleontologist. found this immense reptile or nondescript. He was not a snake, nota fish, not an alligator, but yet he had parts that resembled all these creatures. His fossil remains (once on exhibition In St. Louis, but finally destroyed in the Chicago fire), which were facsimilesof his bones, measured 105 feet from his nose to the end of his tail. There is no living or extinct animal that had a head anything like him. It wasten feet long, the Jaws 7 feet. They were armed with teeth simi- lur to those of the Narwal whale. The circum- ference of his body at the thickest part could not have been less than 24 feet. He was pro- vided with an excuse for a scapula, or shoulder- blade; to this was added a tumerus (upper bone of the arm) and asmall radius and ulna (the two lower bones of the ) and two or three hatanges similar to the bones of the human and. This appendage could not have been of much use in propelling the monster. That work was undoubtedly done by his vast eel-like tail, which was quite sixty feet in length. As @ ter, this fellow could certainly have van- ined all comers. He could have chewed the iargest alligator with as much ease as a sea bags would swallow a moss-bunker. the mastodon or missourium was a huge ele- phant without a trunk, at least not such a snout as the elephants we have in thisage. He was a g pater and lived in the vast prairies which Teach from Western New York directly west to the foothills of the Rocky mountains. We find his bones in a good state of preservation only a little way beneath the surface, showing that he xin as compared with those 's whieh are all stone.

It would be useless to speculate upon the vast number of fishes and reptiles of the seas that have become extinct, as the oceans present 0 method by wi its denizens can be petri- fishes that have become extinct than there have of animals there can be no question. The peculiar construction of some quadrupeds presents a number of problems which as yet our createst comparative anatomists have not been able to give any eolution.- We know of no living ting that will compare with the common flea in strength and agility. A flea. one-sixteenth of an inch in length, can Jump a distance of twenty inches. This is 320 times its length. If we should require a six- foot man to Jamp 320 times his lengthhe would have to land 1,920 ieet from where he left the grovad. Cur common gray rabbit is one of the best Jura . It is very easy to measure nimble little fellow in a slight Wheu he is pushed by a swift dog 8 on level ground are about nine feet clear. In proportion to length a horse, to jump as far as a rabbit, would have to clear 64 feet at a jump. There is 1:0 quadruped that has such powerful muscles in his quarters as the rabbit, and none excel him iu the muscles of his loin and back. . The horse, on the contrary. cannot Jamp more than 27 feet. Longtellow jumped this distance in all his great races. No doubt the great Miss Woodford can snd does jump 26 and 27 teet in her pest races. Goldsmith Maid stepped with her hind feet 17 feet when she was going at a 2.15 gate. It is sald that Flying Dutchman, a trotter under the saddie of ihe olden time, stepped 22 feet. If Mr. Bonner should measure the stride is pone S., he would find it not less than 20 feet. The gaited horse, next to the galloping gait, will be found to be the pacer. His reach is 20 feet when going his best. A man, taking his size, outjumps a horse. It is well Known, too, that aman is superior in strength, endurance, and agilityto the horse. As a traveler man holds the first place in the ranks of all animals that move over the surface of the earth. Ground inole excets all other animals in strength, Jaw, and shoulder. His business is to ¢. He is put together with ref- erence to the very kind of business we find him engaged in. If human beings were organized and adapted to their occupations as well as ani- mals are to theirs, we would have more success- ful people in the world than we now have. A battle between male moles generally ends with the death or both animals, but such fights are very trifling compared with a flea tight. These insects strew the ground with each others limbs. An examination by the microscope of a flea after a battle shows what these diminutive creatures are capable of doing. No theory with which we are acquainted ac- counts for the foree we find in different animals, But it is shown that size is not the measure of the quality of force. In referring to animals of peculiar anatomical construction the ‘*"possum” is one of the most wonderful. He is of the marsupal genus— ie, With a false belly or pouch, wherein to suckle the young and also a place of satety for them. The period of gestation of the ‘possum isnot known. For the reason that it is claimed that the young ones are voided directly into the pouch, where they remain, and literally grow on the teats of the mother. We were informed by a naturalist who made a dissection of a female ‘possum that he foand young ones about two inches long fastened firmly on the teats; so attached were they that a dissection had to be made to get them off. The young ones are only weaned when there is no longer room enough tor them in the pouch. They then make thetr way outside, but in case of alarm or an emer- gency the littie ones crawl inside of the pouch, and are at once carried off by the mother. ——_—_—_-e-_____ Meat, Bread, and Oil. A Paris correspondent of the Kansas City Journal recently had a long talk with le Comte Ferdinand de Lesseps in regard to the cereals for tood. M. de Lesseps worked thousands of Italians, Turks, and Frenchmen on the Suez canal. “Do you really think the cereals are stronger than meat?” was asked. “Certainly,” he replied. “One pound of ary wheat or fiour fs worth as much as three pounds of wet beef. Scald the pound of flour and see. You have a gallon of mush. You could not eat it in three days. If you feed the cereals to cat- tle as they do in England, it takes eight pounds of grain to makea pound ot meat. £0, why feed the grain to animal tramps? Why not eat it ourselves and do away with a surplus popula- tion of 50,000,000 cattle, hogs, and sheep—ani- mal tramps? ‘England is supporting, perla 8, 80,000,000 cattle, sheep, and hogs, and 4( 000,000 people; or rather she supports her cattle and buys bread from America to feed her people. France supports 45,000,000 people, and about 20,000,000 cattle, hogs, and sheep. One acre of cereals in Frauce will support five men, while It would take two acres of grass to support one steer; and in the end one man would eat the steer. The advantage of cereals over meat is as five to one. So you see the steer is an un- necessary tramp. The Englishman Insists on of which costs The Frenchman eats the cereals himself. He buys millions of gations of cotton-seed oil in America at three cents per paund. This he eats in his salad, in his sou) and in his bread and ple crust. The Frencl man refines millions of gallons of American cot- ton-seed oil, sends it back to America and sells it for two or three dollars a galion. n= eed oil is superseding peanut oil, and olive oll is almost a thing of the past. For years the peanut crop ot Teunessee and North Carolina has been sent to Marseilles and made into olive oil. Cotton-seed oil has been found by the French to be better and cheaper than peanut oil, To-day all Spain, southern France, Italy, Austria are living on American cot- All an Italian gentleman or la- borer wants is oi!, macaroni, bread, sugar, wine or coffee. Cotton-seed oil takes the place of meat. Itis strange that your southern states have been for yeats ele pete g millions of barrels of beautiful cotton-seed and buying change in its actions was striking. It swam frantically about in the water, twisting and turning end evincing the greatest distress, but, turn which way it might, it kept its sharp eyes fixed on its master, with an appealing expres- sion. Itmade no move to approach the raft, and when the Chinaman raised his hand and pointed downward with the fore finger, the bird dived again, and so quickly that it was gone like afiash. In afew seconds up it came, bearing in its mouth a large fish. This time it swam boldly for the raft, deposited its preyat its mas- ter’s feet, and showed plainly by the Joyfulness of its actions as he stroked its arched neck that it had redeemed itself. “When the Chinaman placed the third fish in his basket he took the cormorant and placed it in the centre of the ratt. It seemed to under- stand that it had done its work satisfactorily and was entitled to rest, for it strutted proudly away and took up its position at the other end of the raft. When this was done a great change came over the other birds. Each one straight- ened itself up to its full height, arched its rec! shook out its feathers, and seemed quivering with expectancy. The Chinaman squatted be- fore them as he had done before, eyed them cu- riously for a moment, and then held out his hand to the largest of the group. It hopped upon the hand, and iustantly its companions re- sumed their listiess and indifferent attitudes. The Chinaman caressed this bird as he had done the first, but it did not reciprocate his atten- tions. It seemed sullen, and showed no heart for its work. Its master placed it on the edge of the raft, and it plumped in the water at once, splashing it about, and disappeared. It was gone not more than five seconds, and came up without a fish. It swam about as the other bird had done, but it did not exhibit distress or dis- appointment. It kept its eyes on its master, for no other purpose, apparently. than to receive his signal to dive again. When this was given the bird sank below the surface again. It remained below about as long as before, and came up again without a fish. The Chinaman now arose to his feet. He shouted something to the bird, and made an emphatic signal. His anger did not disturb the cormorant in the least. It was apparently an incorrigible servant. It dived deliberately the third time, and once more appeared without adding any- thing to.its master’s catch. Then the Chinaman uttered several guttural exclamations, and made a signal by jerking his thumb back over his shoulder. The cormorant swam tantalizing slow into the raft. Its master caught it by the neck and dragged it out of the water. He cuffed it several times on the head and threw it violently down on the bamboos. I thought the poor bird must certainly have the life crushed out of it, but it arose coolly to its feet and limped sullenly off to where the first cormorant stood, strong in its master’s affection and proval. This bird manifested unmistakable delight at the discomfiture of its companion, but the others seemed to notice nothing but the movements of their master. “The Chinaman next held out both hands and took two ofthe remaining birds at once. These seemed to appreciate his caresses. They evidently felt that they were to be worked to- gether, and thatthe competition would result ina greater or less reward. When they were placed on the top of theraft they eyed each other Jealousy, and when the signal was given, both cut the water and disappeared together. In ten seconds one came up. It had afish. It looked hurriedly around on all sides, doubtless to see if its rival had appeared yet, and hastened for the raft. It was within two teet of it before the other bird appeared, and then that came to the surface immediately in front of the first,and also with a fish in its mouth. Before it scored any advan’ its rival was even with it Inthe race. They i reached the ratt together, and were treated alike by their master. On the second trial they both came to the surface to- gether,but one bird had no fish. When it saw that its rival had been successful it became wild. It threshed about in the water and seized the fish inthe other bird’s mouth and endeavored to take it away, buta shout and signal from its master caused it to relinquish its hold. Its rival swam proudly to the ratt with its prey, depos ted it at it's master’s feet, and received his ca- resses, while the other bird swam frantically about, waiting to getasignal from the China- man to try in. This he did not give until the successful bird was ready to try again. This time the unsucceseful bird was successful, and the other was under the ban. “In this way the Chinaman continued fishing with his birds for hours, and when heceased for the day he had a half-bushel basket heaped with | fish from eight inches toe foot in length. They were a species of herring. As long as I was in China, and making, as I did, many warm friends among the Chinese fishermen, I was never able to ascertain how they trained their birds to fish. They seemed to make a sacred secret of the modus operandi. The cormorant fishing never lost its interest to me or grew monotonous, and Inever had a day off from duty that I did not spend a portion of it along some stream where the birds were being worked. ——_—__—— so.
