Mortality Among the Sheep in AngOra.

It seems from the statistics of the
mortality of goats and sheep in the pro-
vince of Angora, Anatolia, for the years
1873 and 1874, that the number OF Mo
hair goats has decreased during the
past winter from $50, 932 to 1863, 298.
The common goats and sheep have been
reduced III numbers from l ,006, 731 to
$50, 1899. This computation, which is
official, being taken from the 'sheep tax
ledger of the local government, does
not include the three districts of Yoz-
gat, Kaisserich and Kirsheir The dis
trict which comparatively suffered most
is that of Nomadik, which lost all its
focks: while at that of Yokara- Cassaba
they were reduced from 1913, 015 to 3d.
$50. The district of Angora suffered
less than most of the surrounding dis
tricts, losing only 1,195 out of 2,S7S.
The estimated returns of the tax for the
present year, as compared with those of
1878, show falling of of about two
thirds. Last year the sum collected in
taxation was s, 419, 755 piastres, whereas
this year the estimated sum is only
2,740, SS1. The immediate loss to the
peasantry is said to be "terrible :" to
the treasury the direct loss will not be
considerable but in an indirect man
ner the disasters of the last few months
will tell heavily upon the revenue, and
1t will probably be many years before
the unhappy province will recover its
former prosperity.

The Plumage of Humming Birds.

The wonderful change in color that
takes place, according to the posi-
ton of light, from brilliant green,
through the brightest golden tints, to
intense velvety black, or from black to
emerald, or ruby, or crimson, or flame
color, reminds one of fairy-land, or the
tales of the genii. Where a metallic
lustre prevails the plumage is always
composed of feathers so shaped as to
appear to have the form of scales.
The birds vary in respect to the parts
that have these feathers. While most
have them on the throat, many have
them on the breast or head others have
them also on the back some have them
also on the wing-coverts or tail !; and a
few of them have them on nearly all
parts; except the long wing feathers,
which are generally of a purplish
brown. 1t may here be asked "What
causes. the gorgeous metallic lustre of
their plumage, and the rich changing
tiHts of the various colors, representing
every hue of the rainbow, purple, anne
thyst, fiery crimson, brilliant ruby,
radiant topaz, emerald green, resplend-
ent blue, and glossy violet, which in
certain lights, often CLEAN with reful
gence that almost dazzle the eye ?"
They have been attributed to various
causes but 1t appears to be the con-
dition of the surface of the feathers
that produces the iridescence. The
surface is striated, or has minute fur
rows, like the nacre, or mother of-pearl
of the Haliotis, and other sea shells,
which decompose the Notwithstanding
part, and rejecting part ; and the color
of the reflected light depends upon the
angle of the incident ray to the surface,
and varies as the angle varies. In one
direction of the incident the ightwill be
wholly absorbed, and, none being re-
hected, the surface willappear intensely
black. 1t will readily be perceived
that every movement of the bird pro-
duces more or less change of color

The Templars.

y writer III Biackwood's says: "The
order of the Temple was started at Je-
rusalem, in Ills, by nine French gen.
tlemen, who united themselves into a
society, under the name of the Brothers
of Christ, in order to protect pilgrims
and defend the faith. They took the
three monastic VOWS, and although they
began most modestly in little house
which the second Baldwin gave them.
near the Temple, the usual donations
soon arrived and enabled them to form
themselves into a regular military order.

req cross on white robe. They rap
idly became famous and acquired the
reputation of POSSESSING 'the gentle
ness OF lambs, the patience of hermits,
and the courage of lions. But they
had the misfortune to grow rich, and in
consequence, jumped suddenly from
humility and aust6rity to every sort of
vamglory and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Richard
CGur de Lion said of them at this
epoch that, wishing to Danish vice
from his court, he had married pride to
a Iemplar the proverb bOire c0Dagle
M Icnptior got into circulation at the
same time. The order grew in wealth,
IN strength, in disorder, and in thirst
for domination. Suddenly a coalition
was formed against it; the Templars
were condemned by both Pope and
kings, and were eXtinguished IN 1912
with even more than the usual cruelty
of the period F"
