The giant ant eater of Venezuela is one of the moat outlandish looking creatures in all the domain of nature. It is an animal about 2 feet high. The body and tail taken together measure about even feet in length. The tail is usually carried curved over the back, draping and shading the body. In appearance the bushy tail may be likened to a clump ornamental grass.

The head ia veryfl small, but it is prolonged into a anout a foot or more in length. The mouth la at the extremity of thia snout. The ant eaters belong to that group of the animal kingdom known aa the edentates, a class usually toothless. If they have any teeth at all, they are very few in number, of a rudimentary or simple form, in the back of the head. They resemble in this, respect birds, and they furthermore bear a resemblance to the bird creation' in the possession of a muscular gizsard like stomach.

One feature of the eden tates is that they all hare some peculiar ity in the covering of the body. The armadillo, for instance, has a shell of ar mor, the pangolin a series of shinglelike scales, the aard vark, native to the Trans vaal, a piglike skin, scantily covered with hair, and, lastly, the ant eater, with a bushy tall and the body plentifully covered with hair. The ant eater is in many ways unlike other animals. The most striking dissimilarity is in its mouth, which does not open and shut with an up and down movement of the lower jaw, aa that of all other quadrupeds, but it ia a mere aperture, opening only enough to admit of the passage of the foot long, whiplike tongue. In captivity the ant eater ia fed on bread and milk.

In its native baunta, the foretta of South America, it feeda exclusively on termites, or, aa they are commonly called, white anta. These termites abound in the wilds of tropical America, and the ant eater tears open with Ka aharp fore clawa their conical mod nests and with its slender tongue licks up the inmates out of every nook and crevice. The ant eater has a Queer way of walk' ing. It is the manner in which it uses its fore limbs. The claws of its fore limbs are so constructed that they are incapable of sustaining the weight of the body, but are turned backward, compel' ling the animal to stand and walk on the outer aurface of the wrists.

When it am bias around, awkwardly, as it appears, it teems to ba using two amputated fore limbs. Forest and Stream. ROUSSEAU AND HIS LINEN. Aa Amaelasr Dooasnent on Theft Fran the Philosopher. Among old police papers In the Bastille a curious interesting document baa been discovered.

It contains detailed information about the wardrobe of Jean Jacques Rousseau in the year 1760. The manuscript is not signed, but is undoubt edly in the handwriting of the philoso pher himself. This entertaining "laundry list" has been reproduced in facsimile in the Revue Histoire Litteraire de la France. It relates to a theft that was committed on Christmas evening, 1750, in Rousseau's dwelling. It touched him at a tender point that ia to say, the thief found a particular attraction In Rousseau's linen, for which the latter, as appears in his "Confessions," had a special predilection.

It was spread out on a table, fresh from the laundry, in a room where the thief gained an entrance, and, according to Rousseau's own account, there were missing "42 shirts of very fine linen that constituted the foundation of my wardrobe." The detailed description by Rousseau of the stolen garments which appears in the newly found report makes his grief comprehensible. It includes the following: "Twenty two everyday shirts of various kinds of linen, half Dutch, Quibert and other similar sorts. Trimmed, some with muslin of one color, some with cord. Some very pretty embroidered trimmings are a little worn. All the shirts have the letter in bine on the right side.

The sleeves are small, as for a very slender arm. Second, about a doxen collars; soma old and unmarked have three buttonholes on one 'side; the other, newer, have four and on the reverse a blue R. Third, nine caps trimmed with rather coarse musUn discolored by the perspiration of the head, marked on top with a blue R. Fourth, four pocket handkerchiefs, one white and one of blue and white striped linen marked in the corner with a blue R. Fifth, a pair of linen stockings." The theft seems to have had a moral effect upon him.

He writes of it In the "Confessions" aa follows: "This adven ture took away my passion for fine linen, and aince then 1 have never had more than three very ordinary shirts, which suited the rest of my clothes better."
