An OWL. the Farm~r's Friend.

OF all birds, from the farmers stand
point, owls are the most useful. They
hunt silently and in the night, and are
nothing short of lynx eyed cats with
wings. The benefit they confer upon
agriculturists is most incalculable, and
is susceptible of proof. 1t is well known
that owls hunt by night; but it may be
less matter of common knowledge that,
like other birds of prey, they return by
the mouth hard indigestible parts of the
food in the form of elongated pellets.
These are found in considerable quanti-
tits about the birds haunts, and an ex-
animation of them reveals the fact that
owls prey upon number Of predaceous
creatures, the destruction of which is
directly beneficial to man.
OF course theevidence gained in this
way is infallible, and to show to what
extent owls assist in preserving the bal
ance of nature it may be mentioned that
200 pellets examined yielded the remains
of 6 bats, IS rats. 237 mice, 693 voles,
$50 shrews and % birds. These truly
remarkable results We're obtained from
the common barn owl, and the remains
of the % birds were those of 10 sparrows,
greenfinch and swifts. The tawny
and long cared owls of our woodlands
are also mighty hunters, and an exam
nation of their pellets shows equally in
teresting evidence.-Cornhil Magazine.

Greek and Roman stoves.

Warm as Greece and Rome and Egypt
are, stoves were made there in the dim
and misty vistas of the past. 1t was not
Just the pattern used in Chicago at pres
en., but was IL metal basin in which
charcoal was burned. 1t sat in the mid
die of the room, and as the resulting
smoke was of the slightest no opening in
the roof or elsewhere was necessary.
The same implement, still called by its
old Greek name of brazier, is still EN-
ployed in many portions of continental
Europe, where it is utilized for heating
as well as cooking.
But the progressive Romans improved
on that and made a hypocaust. 1t was
the germ of the present furnace. 1t was
made under the house in little cellar
prepared for it, and the heat was con-
Quoted to the rooms and baths through
crevices left in the floor and lower por-
tons of the wall. Later fues We're pro-
vided, conducting heat to any portion of
