POPULAR SCIENCE.

Serpent stars or serpent-tailed star
fish are called brittle stars, because
they break SO easily.
There IS reason to believe that the
family of rodents is New World type,
probably originating in North America.
A preparation of boracic acid, COM
mon salt and silica, is said to hinder or
prevent the appearance of dry rot.
A scientific journal advises melon
growers to put coffee grounds on their
melon beds. They are said to greatly
improve the flavor of the fruit.
An alkaloid from the macallo, tree
of Yucatan, is recommended by DR..
Rosado as superior to quinine in the
treatment of intermittent fevers.
Grapes exposed to sunlight contain,
according to DR.. A. s. de Willanova,
three and three-foufths per cent. more
sugar and more than one per cent. less
acid than those which have remained in
darkness.
The City of Paris has granted piece
of ground in the park of Montsouris for

the auxiliary insects Tor those useful to

A remarkable cloud, observed in
Guatemala during eight consecutive
days of last February, was found to
consist of seeds floating il the air. The

A Swiss process of removing the bran
OF wheat without loss of nutritive matter
consists in moistening the wheat before
grinding with a solution of caustic soda
in water. The solution is prepared by
dissolving g. pounds of caustic soda in
1873 pounds of water. The stepping
may be from Is to 20 minutes, and may
be done in watts similar to those used by
brewers. The caustic solution swells
and loosens the hull proper, so that it
may be removed by the slightest fric-
ton, leaving the gluten with body of
the grain.
The celebrated ''Kent's hole" of the
biologists is located near Torquay, in
Devonshire, England. This remarkable
cavern, first scientifically explored in
1924 by a Catholic clergyman, has given
upremains of the mammoth, rhinoceros,
hyena, elk and other animals now ex-
tinct in England, together with many
fiints and other relics of ancient man.
The earth in the cave has now been ex

The Wolf. as a Reformer.

One day Wolf who had been ponder
ing deeply fer whole week started out
on walk through the forest. Meet
ing Jackal, he said:
sMy friend, pause for little time
while I give You few words of advice:
You are cross, snarling creature, hated
by men and despised by all the creatures
of the forest. Let me hope that you
will mend your ways and reform"
: ssHo no hol but you are a pretty
specimen to give me advice!' sneered
the Jackal. "Why, it isn't month
since you devoured an old woman and
chased Professor OF Elocution into the
riverl" ..
The Wolf passed on until he met a
Hyena. By that time he had recovered
his cheek, and he worked up sad,
sweet smile and observed
"My dear Mr.. Hyena, you would be
an ornament to society if you would crt
your nails and clean your teeth. Let
me hope that you will cease your depre-
dations and become an honest, conscien-
tious animal"
"That's nice talk from an old wretch
who lies in ambush for children |"
replied the Hyena. "Why, if l was
half as mean as you are I'd want some
dying Jack. Rabbit to kick me to death !"
The Wolf next met Fox, and after
the usual salutations regarding the
backward condition of the crops the
reformer began:
"My friend, feel il my duty to advise
you to quit stealing spring chickens and
get your living in an honest manner.
Show the world that you want to be
good and respectable and you will soon
be beloved and honored."
"TaffyI" grinned Reynard-"taffy on
chip! You old william, you'd better
own up to some of the dozen murders
you have committed u
The Wolf next met an Owl, and when
