OSTRICH FARMING.
The Primitive Style of Incubattng Eggs
WAS RouG h on the Incubator.

The Primitive Style of Incubattng Eggs
Roug In on the Incubator.
Each ostrich is branded" like a
Western steer, with its owners private
mark. The birds must be several years
old before they have plumes fit to mar
ket. and the operation OF p!ucklng Is
tedious and not unaccompanied by dam
ger, for the birds are not amlable.
Their eggs take six weeks to hatch; the
hen sits all day, going on the nest at .
in the morning as regularly as If she
carried u watch; the male relieves her
at sunset, the division of labor, with
night work for the head of the family,
seeming to have been arranged because
feathered and four-footed egg thieves
operate mostly at night, and the male
ostrich is the better fighter. If the nest
is undisturbed the hen stops lay
ing when she has accumulated
about twenty eggs, that being
the number she can cover. II some
of the eggs are removed from time to
time she will lay fifty or sixty, the extra
eggs being Matched in incubators. The
earlier method of artificial Matching was
quite primitive. \ Boer or Hottentot
woman would take the eggs into bed
with her, pile on blankets until the
requisite temperature about l02 de-
grees Fahrenheit-was reached and re-
main there SIX weeks. Wnew The
author says:
"Ostrches are queer looking creatures.
They are so awkward, SO out of proper
ton, and everything about them with
the exception of their plumage and
their big, seft dark eyes is SO quantity
ugly, as to suggest the idea that they have
only by some mistake survived the
Deluge, and that they would be more in
their right place embedded in the fos-
siliferous strata of the earth than run
ming about on it's surface. And how
they do run Only startle an ostrich
and very little is sufficient to do this,
his nerves being of the feeblest and
his heart in his mouth at even the
smallest and most imaginary danger.
What jump he gives, and what II
swerve to one side Surely it must
have dislocated some of his joints. But
no, off he goes, hinging out his clumsy
legs, and twisting himself about as he
runs till you almost expect to see him
go to pieces, or at any rate fling off a
leg as n lobster casts q claw, or q
frightened lizard parts with its tail. An
ostrich's joints seem all loose like those
of lay figure when not properly
tightened up. He rapidly disappears
from view, and the last you see of him
he is, us Mark Twain has it, still running,
apparently with no intention of stopping
till he has reached the very center OF
Africa. But his mad scamper will
probably end few miles off with n
tumble into wire fence and Il broken
leg. -" Home Life on az Ostrich Farm"

"A Pavilion Under Water.

Although one may not keep cool 1t is
some satisfaction to read how others
manage it. There is the King of Siam,
for instance, says the Chicago Herald.
He is said to have in one of his country
palaces wonderful pavilion. 1t was
built by Chinese engineer as refuge
for the King during the extreme heat of
summer. Tho walls, ceiling and floors
are formed of pieces of plate glass an
inch thick. They are so perfectly tilted
together with transparentcement that
the joints are invisible, and no fluid can
penetrate. The pavilion is IS feet long
and II feet wide, and stands in the mid
die of huge basin made of beautiful
colored marbles.
When the King enters the pavilion
the single door is closed and cemented.
Then the sluice gates are opened, and
the basin is filled with water. Higher
and higher it rises, until the pavilion Is
covered, and only the ventilators at the
top connect it with the open air. When
the heat of the sun is SO great that the
water almost boils on the surface of the
freshest fountains this pavilion is de-
liciously cool And this is the way the
King of Siam cools himself off IN hot
weather. 1t sounds very delightful.

\ White Horse.

There was recently taken from n
small creek near Springtown, |. T., II
genuine curiosity in the shape Of Il pet
rtied horse, which has beyond doubt
been lying in the bed of the stream for
many years. The creek, which is
known rs Mason's Ford, has been
dwindling away for some time, owing
to the failure of the spring by which 1t
is fed, and is now but shallow rivulet,
and number of Indian relics, human
bones, etc, have been taken from its
bed.
The horse was nearly covered by u
deposit of sand and loose limestone
and was discovered only by chance,
some boys wading III the creek catch
ing sight of portion of one leg. EX-
aiming this it was found to have turned
entirely into stone, which led to the
whole being dug outand carried to shore.
The horse, a large, white one, seems to
be the work of cunning sculptor, so
complete has the petrlhcatlon been,
even the hairs of the name and tail be-
ing converted into stone.
In the neck and piercing one of the
largest veins is an arrow, IN all proba-
bility the cause of its death, and which
probably struck it as 1t stood on the
banks of the creek, into which it rolled
in it's death agony. Its sides still show
the marks of a saddle, and its tlanksare
but as by spurs used with desperation,
cut no brand or other mark gives clue
to its rider.
In removing it from the stream one
hoof was unfortunately broken off, but
with this exception it was perfect. tits
now on exhibition in Stringtown, but is
shortly to be presented to the smith
sonianInstitution, though several agents
for dime museums have endeavored to
secure it for their enterprises. - Tdh}e-
