ascrDa all KINDS OF miscn evlous d,eds,
and among the ignorant, this little owl
is considered bird of i'll omen. 1t is
eight to nine inches long, and twenty
to twenty-five inches spread; the wings
are six, aud the tail thee inches long.
The upper part of the body is Il deep,
mouse-gray, irregularly spotted with
white, the face is grayish-whitc. tho
lower body whitish, and has longiuI-
dinal stripes of brown spots; the wing
and tail feathers, of the same co.or rs
the upper part of body, have rdst.yel-
low spots, which form five in distinct
bands across the tail. The eye are sui
phur-yellow, the bill greenish-yellow,
the feet yellowish-gray. The young
birds are of deeper color than the old.
The little owl has many enemies, among
them the hawk and weazel, the latter
stealing the eggs when it can get at them.
All smaller birds follow the stone owl
in noisy manner, and tease ii in all
kinds of ways. For this reason it is
made use of by bird-catchers, who keep
one of the owls coopedup in field, and
place their traps, etc, near by. This
owl is very useful in destroying mice
and insects. In some parts of Europe,
tanned stone owls, with cut wings, are
kept in gardens. Besides stone owl,
the bird is known in various parts OF
Europe as sparrow, lark, house, barn
and funeral owl. The burrowing owl,
of the country west of the Miss ssippi,
is also an Athene (Spheotyto of some
naturalists), A. cunicularius. 1t is
about the size OF the bird above de-
scribed, but has longer legs. This owl
is very abundant in the. towns of tho
prairie dogs, the burrows OF which serve
as shelter to which it can retreat, and
as nesting place. Its rapid move.

Ancient Astronomy.

About GAO B. c. Thales of MiIetus
taught the globular form of the earth,
the five zones, some Of the principal
circles of the sphere, the opacity Of the
moon and the true causes Of eelipses,
and predicted an eclipse. About SOC
b. c., Pythagoras demonstrated, from
the varying attitudes Of the stars by
change Of place, that the earth must
be round, that there might be anti
podes on the opposite part of the
globe; that Venus was the morning
and evening star; that the universe
consisted of twelve spheres - the
sphere of the earth, of the water, of
the air, Of fire, of the moon, of the
sun, of Venus, Of Mercury, of Mars,
of Jupiter, of Saturn, and of the stars
In $50 B. c., Aristarchus of Samos
maintained that the earth turned on
its own axis and revolved about the
sun, which doctrine was regarded bv
his contemporaries as SO absurd that he
nearly lost his life.

Popular Science.

"rhe true philosopher" says Mr..
Mattieu Williams in referring to the
scientific lectures at the London In
ternational Health Exhibition, "sees
in all such efforts to lntcrmingle
science with practical daily work, and,
above all, with joyous recreation, the
ful6llment of the great object which
alone justi6es the existence Of science
schools, universities, learned societies,
original researches, etc. put recre-
alton above all, because the ele~ating
moral and intellectual influences of
science operate most powerfully on
those who make it recreation, and
least upon the specialist who uses it
as matter of business, like any other
trade, or in order to obtain social
status by public displays. 1t is even
possible that these latter may be NOR
ally degraded by their scientific at
tainments. They certainly are so
whenever they assume the pharlsaical
airs of a scientific priesthood, by look
ing down with pedantic self-complac-
ency upon vulgar people who are not
as they are"

Scientific Societies.

The British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science was organized
in 1881; the American Association, in
lS4S; and the French Association, in
1872. The members of each of these
bodies include nearly every scientific
man of its respective country, and
much real progress undoubtedly re-
suits from the interchange of ideas at
the annual meetings of the societies.

Why Treasury Girls Don't Marry.

"a great deal has been said, )" remarked
n lady clerk in the Treasury department,
"about why our girls don't marry. So
far have only heard the men quoted,
and they say II great deal about the girls
losing their charms and becoming less
feminine by mixing with the business
world and about wanting to better their
position by marriage.
"Now, il you reporters really want to
know something about the matter, why
don't you go to the women themselves
I'll Just tell you one thing, and it's wha
believe to be an important reason.
When girl is kept at home, surrounded
by girls, and hears OF the greatness of the
masculine part OF the genus homo, and
only meeting him at picnics and in the
parlor, she conceiyes rather an exalted
idea of what he really is. Then, when
she secures position and meets them rs
they are away from gaslight's uncertain
glitter, her idea of the actual facts falls
considerably from what il was in her eX-
perience, even ii she still retains the ideal
in her mind, The fact is, we are like
Diogenes-we are hunting for an honest
man, We know more about them than
we did, and so the right man is naturally
harder to find. - Washington National
