h Cooks Crow.

Another habit Of animals that has at
tracted much attention and has called
fourth many explanations, all of which
are more or less unsatisfactory, is the
growing Of cocks at midnight. In the
frst place there is not much depend.
ence to be placed in the cock as . time
keeper. His growing in the night time
varies with the seasons, his time of GO
ing to roost, etc.
The explanation of the cause of his
growing is founded on q physiological
function. Stand near . chicken roost
early in the night and you viii hear q
continuous rafting sound coming from
the fowls. This sound is produced by
the muscles Of the gizzard in grinding
the food in them.
As these muscles agitats and triturate
the gravel and sand that the fowls have
swallowed to aid digestion, the sound is
given of. In about six or seven hours
after going to roost the rafting sound
ceases. This indicates that digestion is
finished. The fowls are now ready to
take a sound sleep. They celebrate the
event by growing, cackling, shaking
out their feathers and then settle down
to roost for another and sounder sleep.
Sometimes the growing is heard at
irregular intervals. This is probably
because Of a lack of food or imperfect
digestion. 1t is generally caused, no
doubt, by the difference in time in
which different individuals complete the
work Of digestion.
These two last observations are not
given as conclusive or final, but as the
best explanation that can OF present be
thought of for q natural phenomenon.
1t is a fact, however, that the work Of
digestion is seldom heard after the
night time c~rowine.-Kansas City

The connection between earthquakes
and luminous paint would hardly be
| apparent TO any one without explana-
| ton. 1t nevertheless exists, and the
| recent earthquakes in wi own country
have served to remind US OF its exls-
tence. As a matter Of fact large con-
signments of this paint are sent to those
countries where earthquakes are preva-
lent. The use to which 1t isput invests
it with the utmost Importance just for
the few critical moments OF the shock.
In the Philippine Islands. where earth
quakes are not uncommon, small me-
tallic plates coated with luminous paint
are so placed about the premises that at
the first warning the inmates are
quickly guided to the door, and thus to
the street. In Manila it is laid on in
patches about the bedrooms and stair
cases, serving as guides for the door
handles and the stairs, night lights be-
ing considered especially dangerous as
likely to set fire to the falling house,
and thus roast the inmates in their
own house. 1t follows that those who
live in districts likely to be visited by
earthquakes will do well to adopt this
plan, and to burn no fame lights at
night, especially in the cas- OF gas, the
pipes for which might be broken sun
der, and the gas escape and take Tire.
The gas should be turned of at the
main nightly, and luminous labels be SO
placed as to indicate the door-handles
and other guides TO the main point Of
egress, which would enable the residents
to find the way out Of their houses in
the dark before the walls perchance
buried them. 1t will be remembered
that at Ischia there was Just sufficient
time between the first shock Of the
earthquake and the downfall Of the
Grand Hotel to permit those who acted
promptly to save their lives.

THIS burning of water is a curious
thing. When l went to England, many
years ago, a perfect novice in matters
relating to combustion Of fuel, and saw
the fAremen and engineers pouring
bucketfuls of water on their coal heaps
Just before shoveling the coal on to
their fires, / at ono told them that they
were doing q very foolish thing, for it
took a let Of heat to drive off the water
before the coal would burn. But when
they told me that 1t was q matter that
did not admit OF al argument, as they
had proved that they had got much
hotter fires when they wet their coal
than when they put it on dry. / was
completely n%onplused; and when with
my ''stoker" l fed the furnaces with
tan bark, etc., SO wet that the water
ran out Of the hoppers, / believed the

representative, is degraded to the pur-
pose of pandering to a diseased senti-
mentality somewhat prevalent further
north of us, it is an insult to III better

our honesty, and deserves, and should
receive our severe censure."
