animals of prey are absent. Among
the lemurs is one known as the aye

unique. The egg of an extinct bird
of Madagascar is fifteen times (he
bulk of that of an ostrich, and yet
the bird itself does not appear to have
been larger than the New England
moa, an extinct bird to which it had
an affinity. This same peculiarity
runs through all the birds of Mada¬
gascar. The water birds and sea
fowl are, of course, those of Africa,
but there are one or two extraordi
nary exceptions. The beautiful snake
bird, allied to the cormorant, is an
Indian species. There is also a water

Tiif.re is an interesting anomaly on
a ranch near Burbank, Cal. A gen*
tIonian who moved out recently from
the city and commenced farming on
11 small scale for the benefit of his
health, bought, among other stock,
a cow and eight yoxmg pigs. After a
while it was noticed that the pigs
thrived and rapidly grew fat, while
the cow seemed to be eating her head
aru l giving no milk to speak of for
family use. The cause was soondis
covered in the fact that the little
Porkers were in the habit of sucking
tbe cow i ant^the latter seemed to en
joy it immensely. In fact, when she
was shut up away from the pigs she
mourned as though she had lost her
offspring. theft

A family living in the country left
their home for a few months’ visit.
When the family returned there was
no house, no barn, no stables and no
