ANIMALS WE H Tile Strange Farana Isla] WasMnai A queer creature lately discovered to be the great-grandfather of mankind will become a United States subject with the ratification of the peace treaty. Uncle Sam is to exhibit expansion of his lower animal kingdom in the National Zoological park here. Dr. Frank Baker, superintendent of the park, has just departed upon a tour of collection. The government natural ists are now giving their attention to the strange fauna of the islands soon to become or already are classed as our new possessions. Little scien tific attention has been given to these species hitherto. They are practically unknown save to several travelers whose reports have been lately ob tained. The government's savans are de lighted at the prospect of poking straws into the cage of a real live . "tarsier." It may be you have no idea who Senor Tarsier is. Prof. Hubrechtj of the University of Utrecht, has lately discovered that he is no less a personage than a "link" con necting Grandfather Monkey with his ancestors. Thus the evolutionary scale would be changed by Prof. Hu- i brecht to run-man, ape, monkey, tarsier, and so on, tarsier appearing as what may be popularly termed the great-grandfather of mankind. Tarsier may best be described as ; having a face like an owl and a body, limbs and tail like those of a monkey. His sitting height is about that of the squirrel. As his enormous optics : would lead one to suppose, he cuts capers in the night and sleeps in the daytime, concealed usually in aban doned clearings, where new growth has sprung up to the height of 20 .feet or more. Very often he sleeps in a standing posture, grasping, the lower stem of a small tree with his long and slender fingers and toes. Buring his nightly wanderings he ut ters a squeak like that of a monkey. Buring the day the pupils of his eyes contract to fine lines, but after dark expand until they fill most of the irises. From his habit of. feeding only upon insects he has a strong bat like odor. QUEER LITTLE BEASTS. John Whitehead, who has spent the last three years studying the animals of the Philippines, foreshadows the probable behavior of a tarsier when it arrives at the national "200." The Philippine natives call the little crea ture "inagou." "In Samar," says Mr. Whitehead, in a report just re ceived at the Smithsonian, "where at different times I kept several magous alive, I found them very docile and easily managed during the day. They fed freely of grasshoppers, sitting on their haunches on my hand. When offered' an insect the magou would stare for a ?short time with its most wonderful eyes, then slowly bend for ward and with a sudden dash would seize the insect with both hands . aad carry it to its mouth, shutting its eyes and screwing up its tiny face in a most whimsical fashion The grass hopper was then quickly passed thro.ugh the sharp little teeth, the kicking legs being held with both hands. When the insect was beyond further mis chief the large eyes of the magou would open and the legs and wings were then bitten off, while the rest of the body was thoroughly masticated. . My captives would also drink fresh milk from a spoon. After the sun had set this little animal became most difficult to manage, escaping when possible and making tremendous jumps from chair to chair. When on the floor it bounded about like a miniature kangaroo, traveling about the room on its hindjegs with the tail stretched out and curved upward, uttering pe culiar shrill, monkey-like squeaks and biting/iuite viciously when the oppor tunity offered." This remarkable animal is found in thc islands of Samarkand Leite, probably in Mindanao and perhaps in Bohol. Common throughout the Philip pines is a still nearer relative of man, a long-tailed green monkey, which the natives call the "chongo." Chongo does -not behave himself as well as does Magou. In northern Luzon he infests the forests in the neighbor hood of native plantations, especially those of maize and sweet potatoes, and is the cause of unlimited Tagalo pro fanity. In Samar the rice fields have to be carefully guarded against his attacks. He is to be seen anywhere, from the cold mountain tops to the seacoast. Some pure white monkeys are also found in Mindanao. DKOI.L DWARFS. Another freak beast which will ex cite curiosity in our zoological gardens is the tamarau, a dwarf buffalo found in the forests of Mindoro, of the Phil ippine group. It is a stunted form of the old-world buffalo, not of the American bison. It sometimes occurs high up in the mountains. It tunnels pathways through the thick bani- ? boo undergrowth covering thc moun- ? AVE ANNEXED. of America's New rids. on ?Star. tain sides about 6,000 feet. Hunters must go upon bands and knees to fol low these trails. The aborigines never hunt this little beast, being deathly afraid of it. The midget Philippine squirrel is another odd creature. It is about the size of a mouse, has legs longer in proportion than those of the ordin?ry squirrel, larger eyes and rounded ears. A large brown rat, gray underneath and with a squirrel-like head and eyes, but black, cord-like tail, is of still greater interest from an evolutionary point of view. It is discovered to be the last link-long needed to complete the chain of relationship between the true rat and the water rats. A wild pig, dignified by the name "sus cele bensis Philippinensis," is found throughout the whole Philippine group. It is exceedingly exclusive during the day, when it hides in the forests, but sallies gayly forth during the night into the native maize and rice fields, where it does much dam age. The natives call this badly be* loved pig "babui." The Philippines will also contribute a giant fruit-eating bat. All Ameri can bats, of course, subsist entirely upon insects, and are provided with sharp teeth with which to nip them. The fruit-eating bat of these islands is larger than a rat, has a long head and blunt teeth, t It makes nightly in roads upon the banana plantations and other fruit preserves. During the day it sleeps hanging head downward from a tree. THE MOUSE DEER. In Bataan, of the Philippine group, is found achevret&in, or "'mouse deer," a tiny little pigmy as cunning as a fox, and which when snared feigns death until freed, when it leaps up like lightning flash and takes to the forest, leaving the inexperienced trap per in great surprise. The Philip pines also contain civets, wildcats, porcupines, lizards, snakes and alliga tors. The "chac?n," one variety of alligator, is prized by the natives as affording immunity against death by earthquake shock. Prof. Dean C. Worcester, lately ap pointed a member of the Philippine commission, has submitted to the Smithsonian an extensive report upon the ornithology of these islands, where he recently counted no less than 256 different species of birds. Notable among these are some beauti ful little parakeets, cockatoos, mound builders, hornbills and jungle-fowls. The last named are the principal game birds of the group. The natives iame the hornbills and keep them as pets. The only important food fishes of the fresh waters of the Philippines are species of catfishes and carps. FAUNA OF HAWAII AND CUBA. Dr. Theodore N. Gill, the noted biologist, to whom the writer is in debted for the greater part of this in formation, finds that the only animals peculiar to Hawaii are unimportant, there being one bat and a few birds among them. The freak of thc group is a naked flightless rail. The feathers from another bird were exclusively uscdiu the manufacture of the famous Hawaiian war cloaks. There are in Hawaii no native fresh water fishes, although several salt-water species have adapted themselves to the in terior lakes and streams. Isolation has been a blessing to these islands in that it has prevented thc immigration of any reptiles. Cuba offers to the new collection an odd creature, known as the "alniiqui." It is one of the rarest of American mammals and is peculiar to Cuba alone. It is the largest insectivorous animal of the New World. The length of its body is nearly a foot, of its tail about seven and one-half inches. In general appearance Mr. Almiqui strongly resembles Br'er 'Possum, though he belongs to an entirely dif ferent order of mammals. He lives in underground caves, and, like the interesting "niagou," does his bug hunting at night. Cuba also offers three native species of "capromys," distantly related to the guinea-pigs. In Cuba are found native crocodiles, and a kind of iguana, which, Dr. Gill says, is prized as food by all who can catch it. There are also many bril liant colored lizards of the same family as those erroneously called "chame leons." There are quite a number of Cuban snakes, but none of special in terest. Almost all arc perfectly harm less. ?LIND FISHES. According to Dr. Gill, Cuba is also remarkable for two species of blind fishes, distantly related to thc cod family and otherwise represented only in deep sea forms. They have, after many years, adapted themselves to thc fresh water of thc caves in which they have become isolated, and have lost their sight after living many gen erations without seeing daylight. In Cuba there are also ?orne fresh-water "gar pike," curious because of the resemblance to alligators. This s i mi laritity in appearance is suggested by the "gar pike's" hard booy scales, which will resist musket-shot; also by its snout, conspicuously crocodilesque. Other fresh-water fishes of Cuba are related to similar species of South America, Mexico and the southwestern United States. Those related-to our species are some forms of killifishes and mummachogs. The only food fish in Cuban waters is a large mullet, which has wandered inland from the sea. Dr. Gill says that the fresh-water fishes of Puerto Rico are scarcely known to scientific men. The fish commission's vessel Fish Hawk is now in Puerto Rican v aters investigating them. Puerto Rico will contribute but meagrely to our list of new fauna. There are no indigenous earth ani mals, but rats and mice, of course, have followed man . hither. About the only indigenious animal of Puerto Rico is believed to be a species of bat, which from the popular point of view has nothing peculiar pertaining to it. FINE SNAIL SHELLS. Uncle Sam already has in the Smith sonian a collection representing the hundreds of beautiful snail shells found in all the islands soon to become our territory, and from Hawaii as well. These range from a giant specimen, about the size of an orange, from the Philippines, to a tiny dwarf form from Hawaii. Our snail-eating aristocrats will be overjoyed to learn that the largest of these succulent creatures to be found in the world abound in the Philippines. The natives find that a few of them are sufficient for a meal. Uncle Sam's interest in them, how ever, is inspired solely by their beauty. The Philippine snail shells are pecu liar in that their color combinations correspond with those of their imme diate surroundings, as if by special intention of Providence to make them invisible to those who would disturb them. Those found near the ground are of a dull color, while those high up on the trees are nearly always colored with the combinations con spicuous in the foliage. Immense forest trees were in some instances felled by those who collected the specimens belonging to the govern ment, which number from 400 to 500. Delicate shades of green prevail. Some are uniformly striped with dark pigmentations, others are transparent and tinted as if in imitation of ancient Estrucian or modern Venetian glass. Among 700 specimens collected from Cuba the yellow tints largely prevail. Indeed, Mr. Snail on going to Cuba finds that he needs apparel of about the same hue as that selected by Gen. Miles for our Cuban campaign uni forms. Mr. Simpson, in charge of the collection, regards this coloring as a provision of nature to make the Cuban snails invisible in the banana planta tions, upon whose fruit they usually feed. The Eud of the World. It would be interesting to know how many times within the passing cen tury it has been announced by self ordained prophets that the world would come to an end at such or such a date. We have a very vivid recol lection of the alarm inspired in the j early fifties by a book published by the Rev. Dr. Cummings, of London, and called "The Great Tribulation," in which thc writer averred that thc world would certainly end in the year IS?G. We do not now remember upon what he based his convictions, but wc have a lively recollection of the chill of terror which thc very sight of the book with its ominous tide used to send along our youthful spine, and what a relief it was when the year ended, and thc world was still pur suing its usual course around thc sun. That experience was destructive of faith in all the race of modern proph ets, so that we can receive with an undisturbed mind thc latest effort to j create a panic in connection with the expected shower of stars in November next. Mr. Falb, an Austrian astrono mer, is thc seer on this occasion, and he asserts that our globe will encoun ter Biela's comet on thc 14th of No vember, of this year, and that thc result will bc disastrous for one or both of the bodies. This same Biela's comet has been made a great deal of a bugbear to us for many years; astro nomical people keeping it on hand, as a nurse docs a bogie, to scare us into good behavior when they think we arc enjoying ourselves too much. It was this comet that was to have knocked the earth into "pi" in 1832, and which did not. Again in 18G? wc were threatened with dire calamity from the switch of its tail as it sped across thc orbit of thc earth, and that also failed; and now wc are once more warned, this time by Mr. Rudolph Falb, to have our affairs in order and our ascension robes ready for Novem ber 14, as it will infallibly hit us this time, and he will not bc answerable for thc results. fortunately for thc world there arc other astronomers of equal eminence and learning with Mr. Kalb, who do not agree with him in his gloomy pre dictions, and one of thc most distin guished of these is M. Flammarion, of Taris. Ile assures us that space is | full of comets flying in every direction j around thc sun. like moths around a candle, and that thc earth in pursuing her usual course is exposed to the chance of coming into contact with them all the time. But comets are imponderable bodies, a mass of gas and vapor, through which the earth passes like a cannon ball through a swarm of flies. He asserts that this actually happened on June 30, 1861, his authority being Mr. Hind, the highest reference on the subject of comets, and again in 1872 the earth passed through the tail of Bella's comet, without even singing itself. It might possibly make some differ ence if we were to encounter the comet itself-especially if we met it "head on," as railroad people would say and it might then be a question as to which head was the hardest and heavi est; but it is not likely that the orbit of the comet will be identical with ours, and the motion the reverse of the earth's, which is the only circum stance that could bring about such a collision. The chances are much more in favor of a glancing blow, and if we could only be certain of the exact mo ment of impact we might avail our selves of it to put an end to the trou ble in the Philippines, by arranging so as to^ave it strike in the midst of them and quiet the natives for good and all. The thanks of the public are due the New York Herald for the trouble it has taken to interview Mr. Flam marion and to publish to the world his reassuring opinions; for many times in the past considerable panic has been created by alarmists like Mr. Falb, with their disquieting predic tions. One of the most comforting of the distinguished French scientist's assertions about the Biela comet is that "ii is no longer dangerous, if it ever was so, for it is about dead itself, having been broken into millions of shooting stars. So far back as 1846 this comet was seen to split in two, and for the four months that they were visible the two portions were seen to recede from each other. When they reappeared to watching telescopes six years later they were eight times farther apart, and since then they have never reappeared, but in their place is a mass of shooting stars which follow the same orbit, and are believ ed to be the fragments of the disin tegrated comet of Biela." At intervals of thirty-three years our globe passes through these frag ments, which is described as a current one hundred thousand miles wide, moving at thc rate of more than twen ty-six miles a second; but we never see these meteors until they plunge into the atmosphere of the earth, as the very strongest telescope yet in vented has failed to reveal them at any other time. When the shower of stars was seen in 1833 comparatively few persons had ever heard of Biela's comet, and being taken by surprise, when at midnight the stars began to rain down from Heaven, as it appear ed, it is no wonder that the general feeling was that the end of the world had come, and that the prophecies of thc Book of Revelations were about to be fulfilled. By 1S66, when the next shower occurred, the public was much better informed and consequently there was hardly any apprehension felt; while astronomers had avery en joyable time watching thc celestial display and endeavoring to count thc meteors, while they noted the pecu liarities of them. Very naturally they are making great preparations to observe the spectacle promised for this November: and it is fa r to pre dict thai many thousands of telescopes beside those of regular observers of ! the heavens will on the hight of No- j j ven: ber l l bc directed towards the I constellation Lee. that hoing the part I ol* thc sky from whence they appear to issue. lt is strange what an effect a pre diction like that bf Mr. l;alh can ex ! croise liver thc human niiud, notwith I standing the fact that our lives arc in far more jeopardy every moment from commonplace accidents ihan they would be in the midst of a shower of fallin" stars.
