Significant Fossil Remains
Found in West Indies.
The question of the origin of the
West Indies will be decided, scientists
aver, when the indigenous animal life
is found to be related indisputably to
that of the South and Central Ameri-
can mainland. But mammals, which,
being wingless, could not have flown
over the intervening seas, are unfor-
tunately the most poorly represented
group of the higher life of the Antilles.
For this reason much scientific interest
attaches to a recent expedition to
Jamaica. Believing that the West In-
dies once had a much larger mammal
inhabitation than to -day, the expedi-
tion concerned itself with the excava-
tion of fossil fauna from the island's
limestone caves. Many fossils were
found, several of them new to science.

Making Farm Life Happy
The average farmer's barn is much
better equipped with power and other
conveniences than his dwelling. That
is one reason why so many farmers
well on in years are living with their
third or fourth wives.
Farnhiug wears out wives rapidly.
And no 'wonder. The average farm-
wife has no regular vacation the year
around. Her average working day is•
more than eleven hours, She doer the
cooking, sewing, washing and ironing

kitchen garden, cares for the poultry
and helps with the milking,

thick enough to take some crude carv-

had inscribed:

Foretold by a Dream.
But great was his trepidation one
morning when, on turning uir at his
work, he found one of his nates ab-
sent, and a newcomer—a very tall
man—in his place. Indeed, so alarmed
was he, that, on descending, he took
with him a stout cudgel, and warned
those in charge of the communication
rope to be on the alert for a signal•,
nowever slight. On arriving at' the
bottom he was soon at work On the.
wreck, and, amid a pile of loose spars,
he came upon a dish exactly like the
one he had seen in his dreams. • .
He was staring at it in a kind. of
Glazed fashion, when suddenly he se* a.
his companion, the new diver, corrin;
towards him, just as he had seen the
figure in his dreams, and the next
moment he was engaged in the most
desperate struggle for his life.
He succeeded in administering such
a severe blow on the hand of his as-
sailant with his stick that the latter
dropped the knife with which he had
been armed, and before he could pick
it again our friend the dreamer had

liad gone raving mad.
Another curious case occurred not
so very many years ago off the coast
of Galway. Some divers were employed
in looking for the remains of Spanish
treasures, when one of their party, .
wandering a little apart from the rest,
saw a dim light in the distance.
Advancing towards it, he discovered
that it proceeded from the porthole
of a wreckage of very ancient date.
What Was the Explanation?
Approaching the ship, not without
trepidation, he peeped in, and saw, to
his amazement, an old man, with a
very long beard, kneeling down ex-
amining an iron -clasped oaken chest,
By-and-by he raised the lid, and dip:
ping his hands in, drew them out full
of golden coins, which he played with
like a child plays with some new toy.
The diver, happening at this junc-
ture to make a noise, the old ratan
turned slowly round, revealing a face
of the most ghastly pallor, which so
terrified the diver that he turned tall
and fied back to his mates with far •
more haste than dignity.
Pooh-poohing his story, they went
back with hint, and there, sure enough,
in the very spot he had described, was;~
the ship, and, what was even more
wonderful, the cbest of gold.
Lastly, there is the case of the diver
who was repairing one of the London
bridges. He Thad made his descent in.
to tho water, and was kneeling down
examining the masonry, when he felt
something tap him on the shoulder.
He looked round, when, to his utmost
terror he saw standing at his should.,
er, peering down at him, an exact
counterfeit of himself,
The following day, against the ads
vice of his wife, who was a Scot anis
very superstitious, he again went
down in the same place, and, a piece
of loose masonry falling ori him, he,
was killed.
