NATURE, BUSINESS, SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY New York Commercial: A half-dozen sllpery, shapeless seals and sea Hons floundering about on the stage croak lng and barking and doing some very wonderful things besides do not seem In the least dangerous or formidable, but there is hardly anything more painful and serious than the bite of one of these curious beasts. Mr Charles Judge, who has trained them for years and has a company of them In the Hagi nbeck show, is badly star red from the attacks of these peculiar half land animals, half fish. The bite of the sea lion Is poisonous; besides, It Is an ugly wound from the manner in which It Is Inflicted.- Although the creature moves painfully slowly on land, the motion of its head and neck Is extremely juick. The neck seems to have an almost elistlc quality. One is surprised at Its reach. The sea lion is like a bulldog. When he has caught hold he does not let go at once, but sets his teeth firmly In the flesh. Then he twlits his head, the teeth be ing still embeded In the flesh; and with out relinquishing his grip he gives a quick Jerk. The result Is to pull out a ragged piece of flesh, if the animal has gotten a deep hold. It will be remembered with what a flourish of trumpet the Intention to construct "the greatest telescope In the world," for the Paris exposition, was heralded, anl how persistently It was advertised before and during the expo, sltlon. It was entieriy useless for ex. perts to point out that the plan adopt. ed made It certain that the telescope would be of little use In most astron. omlcal observations; the advertisers' clamor drowned all voices. It Is Inter estlng to tote n the last report of the Brltinh Astronomical association that this reat telescope has lately been used for observing the planet Mars by a competent person "to no purpose, he says, "Mars vas a far better object In a 3-inch telescope than In the 49- inch." Some interesting facts are noted about trolley transfers in New York The Metropolitan Street Railway com. pany, during the year 1901 gave out 176,000,0iO transfers, and this year, on account of the further extension of the 1 transfer system, the company expects HASSOCKS OR FOOTSTOOLS We Have Them for Christinas Charles Heilborn Son To Sleep Well get your stomach and liver acting right.

Each year the number has Increased till It has reached the figures now recorded. CJIvlng out this num ber of transfers has cost the company an enormous sum of money in printing and paper.
