It lias now been admitted to the great assembly of classified animals under the name of Nyctereutes a I bus ' or the white raccoon (log. It is uot often one gets an opportunity of gazing upon a brand-new animal never before known to scientific zoologists. Another very rare animal?so far as the writer kuows, the first animal of its kind ever seen on this side of the Atlantic?the so-called Tasmanian wolf, zebra wolf, or pouched dog. Thyla emus eynocephalus. is to be seen at the New York Zoological Fark. Although not new to science it is in some Choice Books For Children. If a child loves books at all you can hardly begin too early to instruct her or him (there is no reason for always saying "him") with really valuable books. The fine book sets a standard j of treatment for the rest. If the child ; has only cheap., flimsy volumes, al-; ways coming to pieces, a book will seem to be worthy of no care, and the library will not be valued. But a choice work, beautifully bound, is so charming a possession that it will be sure of respectful treatment, and the owner will come to see that a l?ook is. or may be, a matter worth consideration. There are in second-hand stores thousands of good books that cost no more than the poorly printed works, despised by all who think bookmaking an art.

The animal has the peculiar lower jaw of the marsupials?the angle is inflected; it is, in fact, a marsupial with structural parts foreshadowing those of the more highly developed dog. Such an animal as. this transports us back to' those primeval times when animals far more generalized than those that now exist united in themselves diverse characteristics and specific features never, in our day (save in a few such instances as the Tasmanian wolf), found in any oae individual or in any one species.?J. C. Beard, in Scientific i American. 6?pper Treatment of Water* The public must not make the mistake of imagining that the copper treatment for destroying disease bac; reria in water supply systems is designed to replace or supersede slowsand and other efficient means of filtration now employed. It is intended to supplement these methods. Filtration is usually effective, but many times cannot be used. The method is so expensive that the vast majority of towns are oongea to ao without it. Again, there are many times when the polluted water of a reservoir must be purified at once. An epidemic is at hand, and there is no time for slow filtration. Then it is that Dr. Moore's discovery helps us. By his method, in j a few hours we can thoroughly sterilize the water, destroying every dangerous germ in it. and the process is so cheap that every, small town can afford to adopt it.?From Gilbert H. Grosvenor's "The New Method of Purifying Water," iti the Century. LATE AT JERUSALEM Ki" '' "f'i * '' ' i' y'' ? ' ". ; r J. .'. . 1 -jft ' . -r . . > ' v' - v * ?? ? London paid $150,000,000 on June 24. 1904. to take over her water works froni private corporations. The water is held in 122 reservoirs, and the filtration works cover 149 acres. * ; Swiss watchmakers have now added a phonograph to some of their wonder- } ful watches.

The sumIIest island inhabited in the world is that on which the Eddystone lighthouse stands. lor at low water it is only thirty feet in diameter. At high water the base of the lighthouse, which has a diameter of only a iittle over twenty-eight feet, is completely cov- , ered by water. . In captivity elephants always stand up when they sleep, but when in the jungle, hi their own land and home, they lie down. The reason given for the difference between the elephant in captivity and in freedom is that the animal never acquires complete confidence in his keepers and always tongs for liberty. v Close to the shore of Eastern lliver iu West Dresden, Me., there is an apple tree which has few equals. It , stands thirty feet high, measures,ten feet and three inches around and spreads fifty feet, its owner, Mr. Ham, has gathered in. some years tmrty bushels of apples from this tree, which is said to be more than 100 years old. v A trial was recently mndq in Austria to decide in how short a time living trees could be converted into newspapers. At Elsenthal. at 7.35 in the morning, three trees were sawn down; at 9.30 the wood, having been stripped of bark, cut up aud converted into pulp, became paper, and passed from the factory to the press, whence the first printed aud folded copy was Issued at 30 o'clock. So that iti 345 minutes the trees had become newspapers. Snakes may almost be said to have glass eyes, iuasjmucli as their eyes < never close. They are without lids, and each is covered with a transparent scale, much resembling glass. When the reptile casts its outer skill the eye scales come, off with, the rest of the transparent envelope out of which the snake slips." His glassy eye scaie is so tough that it effectually protects the true eye -from the twigs, sharp grass and other obstructions which the snake encounters in its travels, yet it is transparent enough to allow the most per feet vision. Alius, u me sna&e was u??t. a glass eye, it may. at any rate, be said to wear eyeglasses. .Thieves In the Public Libraries. "It scarcely pays us to 'prosecute men and women we catch going ont with books under their clothes.*' said the superintendent of an East Side library. "The Magistrate invariably dismisses them with a reprimand and a warning. It. is not ofteu they suffer even the disgrace of having tl^eir names appear in print. In the big libraries they have spotters, to watch men who ask for rare editions, but la the smalliibraries we must depend on the girls employed who happen to detect a thief by chance. If possible, we catch the book thief before he reaches the door and ask him if he has not forgotten to have the volume checked off at the registry desk. If he is an ohi hand he says: 441 have forgotten my card, but I will bring it around to-morrow.* "He hands back the book and disappears, to reappear at that particular library no more for many months. The majority of book thieves do not steal novels. They go after works of reference, almanacs, year books and such things that most of them probably need in their business, but cannot afford to buy. That is why such volumes are nailed down in many libraries. I have actually known a woman to get away with a city directory under her cloak."?New York Press. The Things Necessary.

German Appetite For Detail, The German race has an instinctive appetite for detail. I its scholars and scientists are renowned for minute, patient and thorough research; its artists for accurate reudering of details. But this often leads to intricacy, in an abundance of which the structural dignity of the whole is apt to be swallowed up. For you will find, as you continue your studies, that there is even more art in knowing what to leave out than in knowing what to'put in; that simplicity of-the parts and unity of the whole are the characteristics of the greatest artists.?From Charles H.

Cambridge Anthropological ExpedK ;% ticn to Torres Straits has recently been published by. the Cambridge * ' University Press, and it ccptaiag ly. much information as to the sociology, v ] magic, and religion of the natives of ,'j&j the western isltfhds. The account of *' itinera* ceremuutea (uou ?,/ ,. , ser A. C. Haddon, who was the leader of the expedition, Is of exceptional la-' terest. 0 It appears that from time to time * death dance is held ax which the performers represent the ghosts of 'rfc? cently deceased natives. The men paint themselves with charcoal and 3 wear a curious' dress of cocoa-nut leaves and feathers. Each performer has a mask and holds tn his mouth a crescent-shaped ornament, which Ja a decorative sign 'of Kwolam-?the mythical hero of the islands?w$toae exploits are the subjects of many legends which have converted the war^ ^ rior into a god. , Daring the funeral ceremony t&a ( dancers give pantomimic represents lions of characteristic traits of mm deceased natives in whose memory the dance is held. The object i3 evidently to convey to the mourners the assurance that the gbcsf is al&e, and that in the- person- of the dancer freia v " visiting friends. The women and children are supposed to believe that the performers are really spirits; and fa a woman is known to have discovered the identity of any^of the danc- ~ ers, it is significantly remarked that "she dies that night." The dance is thus of tin nature of hero-worship, which Is the only form . o| religion the natives seem to possess; for Professor Haddon says , at the end of his volume of report#: "Unless, the above-mentioned hereto' be regarded as gods. I think'it can be definitely stated* that the Arestern 'r! Islanders had no deities, and certain- v. iy they had no conception of a.'f preme God." Higher conceptions^ar#.
