A man would come along, and as he

down to see what had struck him. A

the laugh Of some watchers or tho

But the funniest of all was a little dog
who came running joyously down the
street and on to the charmed walk.
Then came howl of wild anguish
and surprise, and the dog tried to
leave. But he couldn't; the harder
he tried the closer he was drawn toward
the pole. He lay down; worse yet |;

A Farm Run By Electricity.

An interesting example OF electricity
as applied in farm work is now in
operation at Scotch farm. The
whole of the usual farm machinery,
such as thrashing, sowing, corn thrash
ing and the like, is here driven by an
electric motor. The electricity is
generated by water power, the turbine
wheel which drives the dynamo being
about one thousand yards from the
farm.
The electric current is conveyed by
underground wires to the house and
farm, in each OF which storage battery
is placed. These supply the electric
current for lighting and motive pur-
poses when the machinery is not work
ing. The whole of the mansion IS
illuminated by electric light, and an
electric motor is provided for pump
ing tho water for domestic purposes.

No Fun About Bucking BrOncOs.

bronco bucks and jumps into the air
and comes down stiil-legged, with his
feet planted together, that jars every
bone i'll the riders body, especially the
backbone, and is apt to make him feel
pretty sick in short order.
"My first experience with bucking
bronco cured me of the idea that there
was fun in it. | had read that the COW
boy always locks his spurs under the
bronco's body at such times, and so |
did the same. Well, the spurs went
through the horse hair cinch, and the
bronco kept bucking so long as they
ssaid there. l couldn't get them out
till two men came to help me.
"The proper thing TO do when a
bronco bucks is TO keep your spurs
away from him, balance yourself for

Strange Faculty in Reptiles.

location sense.
My attention was first called to thif
by my brother, who, while engaged in
a natural history expedition in South.
eastern Texas, had what at the time
we both considered unique expert.
ence with large sea tortoise.
This tortoise had been surprised
some distance from the water, among
the sand dunes that line the Gull
shore, and on being overtaken had it,
head chopped of preparatory to serv.
ing as very toothsome addition to
our diet. Much to the surprise of the
party the beheaded animal continued
on its way toward the water.
Several times it was turned around,
entirely or part way, but every time
it was able to right its position per-
fectly, and again make directly for
the water.
At the time it was narrated to me !
was of the opinion that there must
have been something in the contour
of the land that enabled the tortoise
to regain the correct direction in each
case.
Since then l have had numerous
proofs that this ability belongs to
number of species of these animals in
the West Indies, and that the loss of
eyes and nasal organs, Of the entire
head aud neck in fact, apparently
works no inconvenience to them in
this particular. This is family char
acteristic which, so far AS have been
able to find, is not alluded to in any
work concerning them.
The same singular ability may be
observed in certain species of water
frequenting snakes. The common
water snake, often enormously called
the "water moccasin." almost invari.
ably finds its way to the water, if not
too far away, when its head is cut off.
