Floreseo has comuiunloftted to the Academy of Sciences at Varls proofs that there Is a fixed relation between tbe quantity of Iron In the liver of ani mals and the color of their skin and hair. Animals of dark balr contain nearly twice the amount of Iron and pigments In the liver and skin as those of white balr.- Prof. W. W. Campbell, the Director of the Lick Observatory, In summing , up the results of the observations and , photographs . made by the party sent , from that observatory to study the to tal eclipse of the sun iu Sumatra last : Mar. says that the general conclusion to be drawn Is that the coronal struc ture surrounding the sun Is made up of matter, probably very finely ttivuiea. ejected from the surface of the sun with great velocities. Just as we nave matter ejected, now and then, from terrestrial volcanoes, wltn compara tively small velocities. Few persons have any conception of the tremendous degree of heat repre sented In the sun. Just as they are lg- nroant, as a rule, that it is hydrogen gas that, blazing In tbe sun. keeps the universe of life existent An astron omer has Just given some interesting details respecting the temperature of the sun. lie assorts that the mean tem perature la about e,2uO degrees centl-grade-approxlmately 11.200 degrees Fahrenheit. Of such a degree or neat one can form no adequate conception. Of the total heat the earth receives, cf course, only a very small proportion. The rest belODgs to space ana is snarea by other worlds than this. Men sometimes dream of enormous wealth stored In the earth, below tha reach of miners, but according to the statements of Frof. 0. R. Van Ulse at the Ienver meeting of the American Associativa for the Advancement of Science, there Is little or no ground to believe that valuable metallic deposits lie very deep In the earth's crust Such deposits, be said, are made by under ground waters, and owing to the pres sure on the rocks at great depths, the waters are confined to a shell near the surface. With few exceptions, ore de posits become too lean to repay work ing below- 3,000 feet Nine mines In ten, taking the world as a whole, are poorer In the second thousand feet than In the fierst thousand, and poorer yet In the third thousand than in the second. In September the hunters and trap pers of the Yukon start out for their lonz winter sojourn In the midst of the snowy and pathless woods and along the banks of frozen rivers and streams. Bears, beavers, otters, minksv martens, foxes, wolves and wolever ene all fall before their rifles or are caught In their traps, and the man who can accumulate a good store of tbe furs of any of these animals Is well re warded for his hard winters work. But the greatest prize, which all seek and comparatively few get Is tbe rare black fox, of which only about half a dozen are killed In a season, whose soft robe Is worth from J200 to $300 to the trapper who takes It From twenty five to forty silver-gray foxes are caught In a season; their pelts bring from $100 to $200 apiece. The prices of bear pelts vary from $10 to $25; of beaver, from $3.50 to $7; of mink, from $1.50 to $3; of marten from $3.50 to $12, and of otter from $4 to $S. NO CHANGE IN ALMANACS. Same Style, Fame Snbject Matter In Them for Many Generations. "What I'd like to see," remarked the druggist on the corner, "Is a family al manac filled with half-tone pictures. It would be a novelty to soothe the eyes and mind. We, who have gone through many years at this business and have had ample time to digest the countless free almanacs devoted to the relief of all bodily ills and 'sure guides to health,' know the average almanac from cover to cover. The wood-cuts that decorate some of them were made for oar granddaddies and are as fa miliar to their fading visions as they sre Interesting to our own children. I recall perfectly the almanac of by boyhood. "After giving the church days and cycles of time, with the eclipses for the year and tbe best time during that term In which to observe the planets. It bad an address to tbe sick and a ta ble showing the mean time of diges tion of the different articles of diet Then followed a choice variety of an cient Jokes, Interspersed with the sun and moon pbases for every month, each day being marked with such phenom ena and important events, such as 'Swedenborg born' or 'Kansas admit ted.' At tbe bead of each month was a woodcut representing some timely re minder or scene of the month men tioned. For Instance, January was generally depicted with snow-covered ground and woodsmen felling huge trees. February showed tbe farmers threshing grain In an open barn. March displayed the arrival of the seeds and April the sowing of them. For Mar we bad a woman and chil dren working In the garden planting potted flowerj and in June the farmers were gathering the first of their crop. July showed a boy fishing In a pond, with a stately bouse and fine-looking windmill at bis back. August illus trated tbe gra'n-cuttlng time and Sep tember gathering of apples, pears and other tree fruit. Then came the bar vest of corn for October, a shooting scene for chilly November and a warm fireside with a giant Christmas tree for bleak December. "Tbe odd thing now about thia old fashioned almanac Is this: Go over to the next drug store yon meet and pick up the first almanac you can lay bands to. Ton will be surprised to note tha marked similarity between tbe old and the new. The latter is made up of tbe features I hare mentioned as being In tbe old, even to tbe 'unsolicited testi monials selected from thousands re ceived,' the table for foretelling tbe weather throughout each year, and perhaps the latest postage laws. "It Is said that everything changes In this blessed world of ours," said tbo druggist, accusing to the New York MsII and Express, "but I have never known tbe average almanac to shed its old time Ideas. That Is why I sigh for a modern almanac with half-tone pic tures." ' AT SHORT RANGE. Laura African' Lion Killed at tha FIrat Shot. AnEngllahman who lived many years In Africa relates a thrilling experience which befell his family there. His home at the time was In the edge of the Transvaal wilderness, aud It was there that the event occurred, On evening about dusk my wife aud child were sitting on tb veranda of the bungalow. I was engaged a few roda away, putting the finishing touch- to a bit of wagon-repalrlug. The servants were at the rear of the house. It was one of those peculiarly quiet evenings when nothing seems to break the stillness. . Suddenly I felt rather than saw. something moving near the veranda. I looked more closely, and to my horror perceived an enormous lion stealing along tbe ground in the direction of my wife and child. My wife saw the crea ture at the same Instant and despite, her terror, fortunately remained per fectly motionless and silent Scarcely knowing what to do, I hasti ly crept toward the side at the bunga low to the open window of my room, where I knew a loaded rifle w as leaning against the wall. I cllaioed Iu at the window, seised the rifle and leaped by another window out upon the Veranda. There was no time to think; the lion wss within a few feet of my dear ones and crouching for a spring. I called softly to my wife not to move, and then fired. ' - The ball passed directly over my boy's head and lodged In the forehead of the Hon, Immediately above the eyes, and stretched him on the ground. There was an Instant of fearful sus pense. Then I fired again, but the sec ond bullet was not necessary, for the Hon had been killed at the first shot MASi WHO WROTE 60 'WAY BACK AND SIT DOWN."

Captain Steele, of the Sixth Infan try, after an experience of tbe condi tions ot warfare In the Philippines, strongly urges that dogs sbould b at tached to the army. Iu the Army aud Navy Journal he expresses the opin ion that dogs are the ouly scouts that can secure a small detachment against ambush on the trails 'hrough these tropical Jungles. Tbe bush ia so dense that Annkers are out of the question; and trails are so crooked and over such rough ter ritory that tbe point at one or two huudred yards, la out of slgbt ot tha main party.

Sometimes ucver a man of them can be seen. The dogs, pointer or bounds, would need little training. Their Instincts for hunthis and snillliiiir In every boio and corner would be sufficient to Jus tify their use. Captain Steele possesses a dog nam eu Done, and asserts that up to the date of writing no detachment, with which It has beeu out has fallen Into an ambuscade.
