He is very fond Of fruit, and when he sees
his mistress eating an apple he will waddle
toward her, crawl upon her lap, stretch up
his long neck and snap the apple out Of her
mouth. This is one of the cute tricks which
the lady has taught him. You would never
believe a turtle had so much senSe. If the
lady calls Jumbo, jumbo he creeps up To
her i'll his awkward way as fast rs lie can and
laws his queer hetd in her hand. He is very
fond of her, and so gentle that he never bites
anybody. The kind lady buys bananas for
him. He snaps them up i'll way that is
funny to see.
In summer Jumbo Is in clover. He wan
ders through the yard, eating grass and snap
ping at flies and insects Ii he sees the cat
asleep in the sun he moves clumsily ~ and
lies down beside her He seems lonesome
and fond Of company. His back is so broad
that a large boy can sit in a chair upon it.
Then Jumbo crawls about the yard and gives
the 10y ride in fine style When the family
move from one house to another Jumbo is
loaded upon a wagon and moved with the
other property.
Jumbo is what is called a alternating crea-
ture. That is, he goes into a warm place and
sleeps all winter, and does not eat anything
at all AT the return of warm weather out
he comes, lively and hungry. Wild terrapins
burrow down deep in the ground, below
frost, at the approach of winter. and lie there
dormant In the spring they come up with
the earth sticking upon their backs. But
being civilized turtle, Jumbo has a house
built for him. 1t is in the basement of the
large ha.aSe, and is lined with cotton batting,
and is made very warm. At the first frost
he creeps into this snug nest, and nobody sees
Jumbo again till next summer. And there
he is at this moment ELIZA ARCHARD.

Wind as n Seed Carrier.

At the recent meeting of the scientists at
Cambridge Alfred Russell Wallace, the Eng
lish naturalist, read paper on The Winds
as a Seed Carrier in Relation to the Difficult
Problems in Geographical Distribution.
Some species Of plants common in northern
climates, many of them being in the Arctic
fora, have a wide distribution in the south
ern hemisphere There are five prominent
causes of seed distribution: First, sea cur
rents; second, birds; third, seeds of marsh
plants sdhering 20 the feet of birds; fourth,
sticky seeds which attach themselves to the
feathers of birds; fifth, wind. The power of
the wind in transporting seeds is not yet de-
termined, but there is evidence that it can
transport light seeds TO a great distance.
Dust from the Java eruption few years ago
was found on the decks of vessels at 1000
miles distant Most Of the northern
plants introduced into the south are very
light seeded ones, lighter than the dust.
Whether or not wind is the agency for trans
porting these seeds, these evidences go to
show that it at least has the power.

present To your friends and members of your
family. Don't forget any Of them Ii

membered at Christmas time, no matter in
how small a way
Some good presents are: Books, skates,
pictures, warm mittens, games, such as
checkers, chess, dominoes, backgammon,
boxes of paints and sets of boys carpenter
tools and toy engines that will make real
steam and run tiny machinery. A young
peoples paper or magazine for year is not
a bad present. a nice penknife or jack
knife is good; so is a watch for good sized
boys and girls. There are very excellent
small silver and nickel watches to be bought
right cheap now. Silver thimbles are very
good, or gold ones if you are rich enough.
Among the best Of all is a microscope or a
magic lantern. There are some beautiful
magic lanterns now that are not very ex-
pensive. II papa wants to get a good pres
ent for his big boys a fine breechloading
shotgun is excellent. But cheap gun will

The Chicago Journal tells the story Of a
remarkable case of fracture of the spine and
cord Mr. Andrew Hamilton was coaching"
some college men in the gymnasium, and,
while showing some simple performance on a
low crOsshar, dropped about four or five feet
on the mattress. BY some peculiar wremching
of the neck he cracked the fifth cervical bone
and compressed the spinal cord. From that
moment on the whole of the body below the
neck was completely insenshle; nor could he
move a single muscle, except to contract two
fingers on each hand. He had 10 call the at
tendant to open the hand He was kept alive
on milk, which was poured down his mouth,
and his body was supported 10y floating it on
a rubber sheet in a tub of water. His mind
WAS perfectly clear; he talked, read the daily
papers, and even consulted his professor ON
reading mathematical work. This contin-
ued for fourteen days He then broke down
and died on the sixteenth day after the fall.
1t seemed hardly possible that life should
continue and the brain go on acting if the
cls-i were severed, and Vet the post mortem
examination showed plainly that the cord
was reduced to a mass of pus.

And there are the dOnkeys, equally a

Apologies.

A succession of apologies is most obnoxious
TO u guest. And yet this is breach of good
breeding more difficult to avoid than almost
any other. 1t is certainly a great temptation
when one invites a friend TO dinner. and
everything happens To go wrong on that par
ucular day. to speak of it and apologize for
it: but this does not mend matters, and only
makes the guest feel uncomfortable. The
well bred host passes over unfortunate cir
cumStances, such as the undercooking Of a
roast, the spilling Of soup or gravy, the
breaking of a glass with the least possible
notice. An apology only directs attention to
the mishap and does not do away with it.
Some people will begin the moment a guest
enters their household and make an apology
for every room the guest enters-for every
meal eaten 1t is, Il intended TO have that
sofa fixed last week" or This fire should
have been made or Il am about TO change

Portunity to send me such another piece of

breeding. and II failure to notice all de-
ficiencies is the mark OF gentleman or a

steam as a motive power, and obige W. 2. b.
There is record OF a model Of II steam
engine at Alexandria before the time Of
Christ. Its first use lin modern timel was by
Englishmen and Americans. As early rs
1913 a Spanish captain named Blosco de
Garay showed in the barbor of Barcelona a
steamboat of his own invention. A steam
wind mill was invented by an Italian
engineer, G. Branca, in 1929. Water was
raised by steam in England i'll lG55 The
first patent for the application of various

machines was taken out in l6gS by Capt

was patented by Watt in 1869. The loco
