Worms That Raise Tons of Sand.

Mr.. G. Dawson has examined the
sands between Holyland and the coast
of Northumberland, large fiat stretch
of beach familiar to most persons who
travel by the east coast route to Scot
land. The observer found that the
number of castings of sand thrown up
by the lobworms gave an average of
50,0O0,0OO to the square mile. A por-
ton of the castings was weighed, ard
the total weight thrown up annually
was thus shown to be, in some places.
about 90l tons per acre; at other points
it was good deal less than this: but in
still other parts it amounted to no less
than 3,146 tons per acre.
If all the sand thus passed through
the bodies of those animals in the course
of twelve months were spread out it
would give an average thickness of not
less than thirteen inches. How many
and various are the changes produced in
the sand by the wonderful activity of
these industrious worms it is impossible
to say. But it is easy to see how th9
presence of such creatures in large num-
bers operates with other forces to pro-
duce kind of order on the surface of
the earth, and to replace crudeness by
beauty.
The thing that strikes one most, how
ever. is the magnitude of the results
which can be produced i'll a short time
when large number of separate indl-
viduals work in cooperation by the
same methods toward the same end

Japanese in America.

There is a strong desire on the part of
young japanese to come to the United
States to acquire or perfect themselves
in the English language and complete
their education. The welcome given to
earlier students has led many who have
entirely insufficient means to undertake
the jOurney-to come, indeed, with
scarcely more than enough to pay their
passage to this country. Others, better
provided for, have no idea of the in
creased cost of living here, while many
hope to receive aid from persons who
may become interested in them here or
to find some employment while they are
carrying on their studies.
The practical results are not always
fortunate, and many of the students re-
ferred to would be better off at home.
The reputation of having been educated
in Europe or America has certain value
at present in Japan, however, and the
japanese students are, almost without
single exception, a credit to their native
Country.-Philadelphia Ledger.

SENSES OF OWLS.
Interesting Experiments to Determine
Their Lack of Smell.

Interesting Experiments to Determine
Their Lack of Smell.
The hearing of all species of owls
known to me is marvelously keen; so
keen in fact that know of no way of
testing it, since it is so much more acute
than that of man. If owls have the
sense of smell, | am unable to find salts.
factory evidence of it.
have tried various experiments with
them, hoping to prove that they could
smell, but the results are all negative
They dislike putrid meat, but they bite
it to ascertain its condition. They will
not eat toads or frogs which yield an
unpleasant odor, but they did not reject
these species until they had tested them
by tasting.
They may be ever so hungry, yet they
do not suspect the presence of food if il
is carefully covered so that they can not
see it. This test have applied with the
utmost care to the great horned, snowy
and barred owls. The latter are shrewd
enough to learn my ways of hiding their
food, and when they suspect its presence
they will search in the places where
have previously hidden it, bouncing
upon pieces of wrapping paper and polk.
ing under feathers and excelsior with
amusing cunning.
tested them with the fumes of cam
phOr, ammonia and other disagreeable
and unusual smells, but they failed to
show that they perceived them unless
the fumes were strong enough to affect
their breathing or to irritate their eyes.
Finally l put cat in a basket and
placed the basket between the two owls.
They were utterly indifferent to it until
the cat made the basket rock, when both
of them fled precipitately and could not
be induced to go near the basket again.
Although Puffy will put a cat to flight
when on his mettle. Fluffy is frightened
almost out of his wits by them.
A japanese toy bird, made of piece
of wood and a few scarlet feathers, was
eagerly seized by Puffy, indicating not
only lack of power of smell but the
presence of an appreciation of color. !
have fancied that an appreciation of
color is also shown by barred owls in
their frequent selection of beech trees
as nesting places, by great horned Owls
in their choice of brown trunked trees,
and Ivy Snowden in an apparent prefer
ence for gray backgrounds. - Frank
Bolles i'll Popular Science Monthly.
