Ever since the Spaniards overran Mexico and California, Lower Californis has been a place of wonderment and mystery. Tiburon Teland and the Gulf of Lower California have had more strange tales woven about their human and saimal inhabitants than any other part of this Pacife coast. It was in Lower California that the Spaniards asserted that they bad found men whose honda do grow beneath thoir shoulders" wondrons monsters of the six and eight-legged variety, and "fish with trunks like anto ulephants."

Started by the Dous, the weird yarns multi- plied oven under more modern conditions, unti the United States steamer Albatross, a converted cruiser,started south bearing a party of actentiate from the American Museum of Natural History of New York City. The aim of the expedition was to explore the islands and coast of Lower California and the waters of the surrounding ocean and golf. Its access was remarkable,

Indeed, so rare has the animal become that many scientista bare believed it extinct. The flest of these strange creatures observed by the party was a monster bull lying upon the sand in the shade of a cliff, with the breakers surging sround his bulk.

Justily toward, the oa, but before he conll get into dop water shots from the rifles of the party killed him, He mentored over twenty feet in length auf more than half that i cicumference around his shoulders.

THE SCIENTIST'S STORY.

and

Mr. Osburn, an authority en ornithological subjects, and a member of the expedition, told the following story of some of their discoveries. The largest colony of sea elephants was visited on March 4, when probably fifty of all ages and both sexes were reposing bigh on the beach, wollowing in bugs comfort in the sand. The work of skinning and skeletonising the spool- mens shot was done in the lee of a cliff 2000. feet high with a concare fage, and our bour was interfered with by lose flying boulders from the top of the eliff.

The soimais are sluggish and inactivo while on shore. The fighting balls waddle face to face, open their month, throw their long snoute upin the air. and roll their boada till they touch their baske, all the time letting out hollw rear something like that of a caged lion, At times they emit from their mouths - small cloud of white vapour, and roll their large black eyes about. Their eyes are often na inuch as three inches or more in diameter.

When paraned, they waddle, crawl, and top down to the water's edge with a most awkward gait, but when the sea is reached their powerful bodies are instantly graceful and rapid in long

From an article in The Imatel on the subject of the retiring age we take the following extract:

The question of the retiring age is an in- portant matter to business and professional men, though not perhaps of the same importance to the community. But, indeed, it might well be asked by these adopting a high moral and. social standard-Ought a men to retire at all?

These who know them- solves in any real sange may be trusted not retire with undue haste or to postpone retire- ment to an unnecessary date. But it is the greatest possible mistake to suppose that the that whether from the feeling man who retires, his course is run or from the desire to bezatit by leisure at the close of his life, has necessarily chosen the best path for himself.
