\ Survival of the Fittest.

While hunting antelope on the prairies
of Colorado | was the witness of very
interesting chase between an eagle and Il
jack rabbit. The various circles and
downward sweeps of the eagle attracted
my attention, and | resolved to ascertain
the reason | put spur to my horse and
succeeded in gaining an elevation from
which good view of the chase could be
had. The rabbit, to all appearances, was
very much bewildered, and would run
first in one direction and then another
and sometimes in circles, its pursuer,
the eagle, following its every turn.
Finally the eagle, as if tired of this
sport, with vicious downward swoop
and stroke of the wing laid the rabbit
out lifeless on the prairie. AT this mo-
ment | gave a tremendous yell, and at
the same time rode rapidly toward
them, which had the desired effect of
frightening the eagle away, leaving its
victim IN my possession, which turned
out to be the only game | bagged that
day,-Forest and Stream.

Proof of the Earth's Motion.

Take a good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full Of water and place it upon the floor
of the room which is not exposed to
shaking or iarring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water a
coating of lycopodium powder-a white
substance which is sometimes used by
ladies in making their toilet, and which
can be purchased of any druggist. Next
upon the surface of this coating of white
powder make with powdered charcoal a
straight black line, say an inch or two in
length. Having made this little black
mark on the surface of the contents of
the bowl, lay down upon the floor close
to the bowl a stick or some other straight
object, so that it will lie exactly parallel
with the charcoal mark. If the line
happens to be parallel with crack in
the floor or with any stationary object in
the room this will serve us we'll.
Leave the bowl un1isturbel for Il few
hours, and then observe the position of
the black mark with reference to the OBJ
ject it was parallel with. 1t will be
found to have moved about, and to have
9iiiled us position from cast 10 west
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to that of the movement of the earth
upon its axis. The earth in simply re
yolving has carried the water and every
thing else in the bowl around with it,
but the powder upon the surface has been
left behind little. The line will always
be found TO have moved from east to
west, winch is perfectly good proof that
everything else contained in the bowl
has moved the other way.-St. Louis
