BAIRD’S TAPIR. A Common Enough Animal That Cannot Be Seen In Any Collection. Still less known iu this country, and never seen, either in menageries or mu seums, are the two species of tapir found in Central America. The sleek, plump bodied, chocolate brow'n tapir of South America we do see occasionally, both alive and dead, but of Baird’s tapir there is not even one adult stuffed specimen iu existence, either in this country or in Europe. A few skulls and skeletons aud two or three mutilated aud uumonntable skins are positively all the world possesses iu representation of this species, and, what is still worse, no naturalist has yet had an opportunity to even write a descrip tion of the full grown animal! The young animal is known to be of a red dish brown color, marked with irregu lar white spots aud stripes. Our universal poverty in specimens of the tapir named in honor of Professor Baird is not due to the extreme rarity of the animal, but rather to a lack of enterprise on the part of the intelligent white men who from time to time have bad it iu their power to procure and to preserve specimens. The animal is well known in Panama, Costa Rica, Nica ragua, Honduras and southern Mexico. Although tapirs are usually found along small and well shaded rivers in the hot lowlands of the tropics, they are frequently found on forest covered mountains as well. Dr. Frantzius in forms us that in Costa Rica Baird’s tapir is found both iu the lowlands aud on the highest mountain ranges. He says also that “it is much hunted, for its flesh is very delicate. The back woodsmen salt it, or dry it in the air, aud thus provide themselves with large stores. Its thick hide is very useful. • • • Tapirs are very fond of the salt licks which are formed in the neigh borhood of the numerous mineral springs by the evaporation of the saline water. Here they are either shot with ballets on moonlight nights or are hunted down with dogs and killed with spears. ’ ’ —W. T. Hornaday iu St. Nicholas. The Tree of Blood. The most wonderful optical experi ment known to the eye experts is that which produces the “blood tree,” or “the arborescent figure of Purkinje.” It is a very simple and entertaining ex periment and one from which no possi ble harm to the eye can result. The ex periment is an optical delusion in which the retina of the eye and all the blood vessels connected therewith appear to stand out in the air in such a manner that the experimenter has a splendid view of them. Purkinje, the great optician, acci dentally made this discovery of the “blood tree,” or “arborescent figure” which bears his name several years ago, aud since his time it has been used in thousands of curious test experiments. The projected image is called the “arborescent figure” because of its re semblance to a many branched tree and is produced in the following manner: Shut yourself up in a dark room at night and move a candle or lighted lamp back and forth very rapidly before the eyes. After a few seconds the air surrounding the caudle will assume a deep piDk or reddish color, which rap idly takes upon itself the appearance of a sea of blood. Over this red background ramifying in all directions may be seen the veins and blood vessels standing out in bold relief, while toward the center of the figure there appears a dark trunk like line which serves as a “body” for your “tree of blood,” the trunk being most plainly visible where the optic nerve enters the eye. This experiment is chiefly interesting because it proves that the parts of the retina which actually receive impres sions and produce sensations must lie behind the blood vessels, since these cast their shadow upon it and enable the experimenter to see them as plainly as he does any other external object.— St. Louis Republic. Versatile Sailor Men. The versati lity of the man who has been educated on a sailing vessel will bear investigation. He has not only to be a sailor and a rigger, but is some thing of a carpenter, a sailmaker, a cook, a tailor, a barber and a blacksmith aud has a speaking acquaintance with several other trades. A thoroughbred sailor can, iu fact, turn his hand to al most anything that comes up and do it as well as, if not a little better than the average, and he would find himself iu a pickle lots of times if it were not for that same versatility.—New York Trib une. Hopeless. the part last over the fence. Place them in a saucepan—or. better still, a chafing dish—with plenty cf the best butter, 6alt, black pepper, aud a plentiful sprin kling of paprika—the sweet Hungarian pepper which nowadays can be found in any first class grocery. They must not be split and their heads must not be re moved. Cook them for five or six min utes, according to the size of the bird and the heat of the fire, but do not al low the yellow fat to become browned. Nothing could be simpler, and yet few, very few, cooks can prepare the reedbird without destroying its toothsomeness. There is an art also iu the eating of his daintiness, but it can only be ap plied to birds of the character and pre pared in the manner described above.

Bonaparte learned with intense sorrow of the determination taken by her husband. Iu tho main his measures and his convictions had been kept a se cret, but she confided both to Mmo. De Remusat, and the first consul himself had told them to Joseph. Ou the 20th the decree for the duke’s imprisonment aud trial was dictated by the first consul from the Tuileries, and iu the early afternoon he returned to Malmaison, where at 3 o’clock Joseph found him strolling in the park, conversing with Talleyrand, who limped along at his side. “I’m afraid of that cripple,” was Josephine’, greeting to her brother-in- law. “Interrupt this long talk if you can. ” The mediation of the elder brother was kindly aud skillful, and for a time the first consul seemed softened by the memories of his own and his brother’s boyhood, among which came aud went the figure of the Prince of Conde. But other feelings prevailed. The brothers had differed about Lucien’s marriage aud the question of descent if the con sular power should become hereditary. The old coolness finally settled down and chilled the last hopes in the tender hearted advocates for clemency. To Josephine’s tearful entreaties for mercy her husband replied : “Go away. You’re a child. You don’t understand public duties.” By 5 it was known that the duke had arrived at Vincennes, and at once Savary was dispatched to the city for orders from Murat, the military commandant. Ou his arrival at Murat’s office, from which Talleyrand was in the very act of departing, he was in formed that the court martial was al ready convened, and that it would be his duty to guard the prisoner and exe cute whatever sentence was passed. — “Life of Napoleon,” by Professor Wil liam M. Sloane, in Century. A POLAR NIGHT. Graphic Description of This Time of Gloom aud Desolation. Mr. Constantin Nossiloff, reporting in Le Tour du Monde his scientific re searches iu Nova Zembla, furnishes an interesting description of his sensations aud experiences during the long arctic night, which began Nov. 3 and ended Jan. 20. September was pretty comfortable, he says. Then suddenly snow covered the mountains. The Samoyedes, his only companions, put on their winter cloth ing, the fishing boats set sail for Arch angel, the ground froze, the sun lost its warmth and heavy snows fell. Winter had come in earnest. On the day when the sun showed it self for the last time all hands went out of doors to bid it farewell. It re mained iu sight for half an hour only. For a few days longer there was a morning twilight. Then this faded and gave place to black night. The stars shone the whole 24 hours. The huts of the colony were buried under the snow, of which thick whirlwinds filled the air. The wind shook the huts to their foundations. Sometimes for days to gether the inmates of the different huts could hold no communication with each other, though the huts were side by side. If any one went out, he was seized by the wind aud had to be dragged back by means of ropes. In this darkness aud desolation the aurora borealis did much to entertain and cheer them. It lasted sometimes for five days iu succession, with splendors of color that Mr. Nossiloff tries in vain to describe. To enjoy the spectacle he used to remain for hours in a hole in the snow, sheltered from the wind. “I have never seen anything more terrible than a tempest during the polar night,” says Mr. Nossiloff. “Man feels himself overwhelmed in immensity.” When there came a lull in the storm, the men ventured out to breathe the air and purge their lungs of the exhala tions of the smoking lamps fed with seal oil. Twilight appeared again in the mid dle of January, aud on the 20th the sun rose above the horizon, while the mem bers of the little colony stood in line facing it and fired a salute. No one had died or been seriously ill, but all had the look of corpses and were feeble as convalescents after a long sickness. Health returned with the appearance of the sun.—Youth’s Companion. “I have half a notion to give up try ing to be a man, ” sighed the new wom an. “What!” shrieked the others. “There is no use trying.

AN ABRUPT COURTSHIP.

He re sisted many persuasions to marry, which his friends were constantly making, un til he had reached a tolerably ripe age, aud he himself began to feel the need of- or at least began to have now ideas of the comfort of being nursed with wo man’s gentle care. Shortly after enter ing one of the circuits a maiden lady, also of rijie years, was strongly recom mended to him, aud his friends again urged that he would better get married, representing that the lady named would not refuse to accept him, notwithstand ing his eccentricities. “ ‘Do you think tho?” said the domi nie, for he had a very perceptible lisp. ‘Then I'll go and thee her. ’ “He was as good as his word.

An interesting instance of color mim icry iu spiders has been observed in the south of France. The spiders of that re gion when iu search of prey hide in the convolvulus flowers. It has been noticed that a white variety of spiders frequent ed the white flowers, a greenish colored variety made the green flowers his home, and a pink one lived principally in the pink flowers. The colors of the three varieties were at first supposed to be permanent, but it has recently been dis covered that the color of any ono of these spiders changes within a few days if the insect be placed iu the convolvulus of a different colored flower from that which he has been using as his home. Four spiders—pink, white, green and yellow iu color—were all put in a box together, and within three days all were white. Died Aug. 12, 1821, Aged «6 years.
