A Pet Owl.

My own bird is at liberty. This he
uses to the very best of his ability,
making the third member of our small
house. He is by no means the least
important, for he claims and receives
the greatest attention at meal times.
He steps from his perch on to the
hand, sits on the place appointed for
him, and chatlers all the time it is in
progress. Sometimes, by way of
change, he will run about inspecting
all things; he is very swift of foot and
most inqusitive. Very affectionate,
too; he shows that plainly. He is
about more in the daytime than in the
evening or night, and he will sit in the
full light of the sun. Ali through the
hot summer of 1887 he has done so as a
matter of choice.
His food consists of mice of all kinds,
birds, of the finch tribe, old and young.
Starlings, blackbirds, and thrushes he
will not eat. nor insects such as chatfers
and others of similar kind; he will
not even look at them. 1t is not al
ways possible to procure the birds and
mice for him; then he will content
himself with tender, lean beef, quite
fresh pork. He seldom drinks water,
and never uses it for the purpose OF
washing, preferring to roll and scratch
about in lump of drift sand like a
domestic fowl. In fine feather he now
is, and he keeps himself beautifully
clean! His legs are long, and he uses
his toes and claws with the dexterty
of monkey; in fact, when at his little
games he is more like monkey than
an owl.
His conversation, kept up continu-
ally. is Il Groom and chatter, and when
in high glee he will puff the feathers
of his throat out and look intently at
me with his bright yellow eyes and
| treat us with solo sounding like the
gobble of some unfortunate turkey. II
] ask him as IL particular favor to
change that tune, he will give sue
cessiou of shrill barks like a terrier.
He roars like tiger when his dignity
is rutfled, and squeaks like pig. This
does not occur very often, and when it
does the fault is my own. 1t generally
happens when he is introduced to
strangers, which he hates. AS a rule
he is most amiable. Ii | wanted to
cure a man of melancholy and never.

PhOtOgraphing by Heat.

1t may be said that photographs can
be taken by heat as well as by light
The action of the shorter waves of
energy which we call light is quicker
and sooner manifest to the eye than
the action of the long waves which we
call heat; but the invisible heat rays
in the solar spectrum have been photo
graphed. The slow action of heat in
changing the molecular state of bodies
is well known. 1t is probable that an
emulsion could be formed which would
give an image of a hot black kettle in
a dark chamber. The element of time,
however, would probably be an inn
portant one.
Indeed we are often presented with
evidences of the picture-making
facility of heat rays. A fern-leaf upon
ice is soon represented by the differ
ence of molecular action. A stationary
carriage-wheel standing in the sun up
on frozen ground is found to have left
its photograph upon the ground when
it moves on.-ProteSSor IrosObridge IN

RICHARD E. PETIIGREW, who has
been chosen United States senator
from South Dakota, is a Wisconsin
man. In 1854 he came to the Badger
state from Ludlow, VT, settling at
Union, Rock county, later locating at
Evansville. In 1864 he went to Be-
lott and entered the college, starting
to work his way through the course
by taking care of one of the school
buildings of that place. While SO en-
gagged his father died, and he was COM
PEELED to return home and assume the
management of the farm. He did not
relax his studies, however. In the
winter of 1867 he taught school near
home and the following winter taught
near Cedar Rapids, La. In the spring
of 1869 he entered the law class at
Beloit university, and in 1870 was
admitted to the bar at GAINESVILLE. In
thesummer of 1869 he joined a party
of surveyors and went to Dakota.
Their route led them to the present
site of Sioux Falls, and Pettigrew
then decided that there was the spot
In the West for him to make his home.
AS soon as spring opened in 1870 he
started for Sioux Falls. arriving there,
after weeks of delay by bad roads and
high water, with 25 cents in his peck
ct. He has since then served three
terms as congressional delegate for
the Territory of Dakota, and is large
ly interested in various business en-
terprises in the new state OF South
Dakota.
