A most extraordinary "worm" nus arrived at the London Zoologic- al Gardens from Trinidad-the netipatus. It is now in the Caird Insect House. The peripatus is a queer link between the scorpion and the ordinary worm. Its back is chocolate-coloured, while under neath it is coral-pink. This worm- of prey is about 3in. long and possesses both jaws and legs. Its strangest characteristic is that it hunts flies and other small insects with the help of a kind of gut Crawling up to its prey on (roughly) 30 pairs of legs, it suddenly shoots out a pellet of in- tensely sticky stuff, which glues its victim motionless until the peripatus nimbles up and devours its meal. The stuff is strong enough to stick a man's thumb and finger together, and it needs quite an effort to separate them. The am- munition of the peripatus does not, however, stick to the creature's own skin. At the Zoo the "gun" has already proved itself to have a range of at least 4in.-L. G. M.

He laid emphasis upon the fact that while Great Britain could wield irresistible power in India, it was the character of the individual Briton, not the sword or high politics, which maintained Great Britain's dominion. The vacilla- tions of English party politics often injured us, as they were in opposi tion to that consistency which Indians appreciated perhaps more than anything else.
