When on the wing carrier pigeons
never feed; and after making long
journey they arrive at their destination
in nalf starved condition. Nor will
the bird eat on its arrival. 1t simply
drinks a small quantity of water, and
then goes to sleep for about two hours.
At the end of its nap the pigeon eats
moderately and again sleeps; and after
48 hours of this alternate sleeping and
eating, it appears to recover its normal
appetite. We remark in this instance
the operations of useful instinct, which
prevents the weariea and hungry bird
from taxing its already over-wrought
system by eating large meal; this prac
tice being in strict accordance with the
teachings of physiology and with dictates
OF the healthy science of man, but which
the latter unfortunately does not always
follow.-Erchange.
The frost-work representations on the
window-pane, of trees, castles, landscapes
and common scenes familiar phenomena
as they are-always excite wonder, and
often cause one to ponder on the myster-

that it was chance picture, but such it
really is. 1t was discovered recently by
Mr.. Harvey when he had the partition
removed from drawer which he had
used to keep tools in for 25 years. The
scratching of the implements as they rat
tied around in the drawer, the action of
the oil, which mingled with the rust
turned green, the dust and CRIME of a
quarter of century, all had cont bined to
paint on these pine board partitions a
tolerab]y good sketch, in dull colors, of
the ocean with three vessels sailing on its
bosom, and in the distance headland

the picture framed IN gilt, and it hangs
over his repairing bench, ready for the

English photographers avoid the strain
on the sitter's eyes, which usually re-
suits in a ghasrly stare, by having a
clock-face as the point to which they are
directed, the eyes being allowed to travel
slowly from the figure XII. all round
The rotatory movement of the eyeball in
adapting itself, step by step, to the fig
ures upon so small a circle at such a dis
tance, is so excessively fine as to cause NO
interference with the Photographic pro-
cess. The eyes are excellently we'll de.
fined, even to the iris, and the pictures
have marked superiority over those
previously taken in the manner in which
the details of the eyes are reproduced
The sitters have expressed themselves as
not having had any strain upon thei,
eyes.
