WATCHING A GROUSE DRUM.
The Noise Said to Be NIado by the Wings
Against the Body.

Against the Body.
EARLY in October 1 had the only op-
portunity which has ever presented
itself in my twenty years of expert
ence in forest and field of STUDYING the
method employed by the cock part
ridge in producing that peculiar sound
known among sportsmen as drumming,
says n writer in Forest and Stream.
was out with my gun looking for quail
quite early in the morning and was
working toward a small wooded
swamp. where l knew the birds found
safe shelter at roosting time, as we'll as
from the gun when flushed by dog, for
no hunter, no matter how ardent,
would have the temerity to brave the
suclz-holes and wild brier vines Hear
ing the call of a quail, l stopped to
listen and locate him positively.
stood facing a stone wall, distant about
six rods, on each side of which grew
hazel bushes. Suddenly out of those
on the opposite side sprang a fine old
cock partridge and dropped on the
wall directly in front of me, tail
spread, ruff standing out and crest
raised-the picture of alertness. What
a chance for an artist. I hardly
breathed. Between us was a small
alder bush, tall and slim. This wa;
the only shelter, yet the bird did not
seem to notice me, for after standing a
moment he began preening himself,
seeming to enjoy the rays of the sun,
which shone warm and bright. L stood
and watched him thus for probably ten
minutes, and was considering whether
to let him go altogether or flush and
try a shot. when he stopped, shook
himself, stretched one wing and leg,
then the other, took a look around and,
slightly raising his feathers, as set
ting hen when disturbed, raised his
wings little above horizontal line
and brought them down against his
body, increasing the time until it
ended in futter, as it seemed. This
I watched him repeat; the third time ]
moved slightly; he spotted me and
moved also. 1 am perfectly satisfied
on one point, however, that the mysteri
Gus noise, as some term it, is produced
by striking the wings against the
body. AS many will admit, who have
had the opportunity to observe, the
sound is more pronounced and distinct
at distance than very near it, where
! it has a muf1ed, futtering sound
Many theories are advanced on the
subject, among them one to the effec1
! that the bird stands on hollow log an6
strikes it with his wings, thus produc
ing the sound from the log.

Buried in Teeth.

A dentist died in rural town in Eng
land recently, after spending over fifty
years in pulling the molars of his fell
low citizens. He had made it hobby
to keep all the teeth which he had
drawn in the course of his professional
career, and took great pride in the col
lection. When his will was opened, it
was found that he had ordered the col
lection of teeth to be placed with him
in his coffin for burial. His heirs full
filed his command, and almost thir-
ty thousand teeth were put into the
coffin with the dead dentist. If some
archaologist of the future century
shall happen to open that grave, he viii
have food for thought" and some diff
fculty, perhaps, in explaining the pres
ence of so many teeth.

TALKING WATCHES.
An Ingenious Continuance for Initiating
the Human Voice.

An Ingenious Contrtvance for Initiating
the Euman Voice.
For many years there has been de-
mand for something in the way of
pocket timepiece that would indicate
the hour by sound. A French watch
maker has invented a watch with a
photographic attachment, and instead
of striking the hours the timepiece
murmurs them in a gentle tone or
chirps them in criclet-lil1e sounds, but,
in either case, clearly audible and I'M
mistalkable. The attachment is de-
scribed as "a circular plate of vulcan
lied rubber with striated burrows, and
a point resting upon the burrows and
traversing its sinuosities. By an in
geniously devised system of irregulari-
ties in these depresSions or burrows the
tones are varied and made to produce
such words as: s'Ten o'clock ''Half-
past one o'clock" and the like. Alarm
clocks with strong and piercing tones
are to be made, and one may be shouted
to with such orders as: ''Get up!" or
Here, you boys, get out of that, or
it'll be the worse for you!' or similar
emphatic orders. The next thing in
order will be dials that will call out
the hour when sick people may take
their medicine, or when certain house
hold duties may be performed. 1t is
said to be possible accurately to repro
duce a given voice. and that one NAV
have the voices of individuals phono-
graphed, and they may be put away
for future reference and as possible
mementos of those who have passed

WATER COOLED WITHOUT ICE.
Pueblo Indians Secure the Desired Result
by Means of Evaporation.

Pueblo Indians Secure the Desired Result
by Means of Evaporation.
OF course, everyone likes ice water.
1t is an American habit, and, patriotic
ally speaking, all American habits are
good. But if people only knew it, says
the Washington Post, there are better
ways of keeping water cool than put
ting ice in it. And the water that is
cool without being cold is twice scool-
ing to the drinl1er, to say nothing of
being several times as good for the
stomach into which it is put. One of
the simplest ways of cooling water is
by evaporation. The Pueblo Indian of
our southwest, with his untutored
mind, discovered this fact hundreds of
years ago, and has been using the dis
covery in his quiet, unobtrusive way
ever since, while we of the higher civ
ilization have been buying ice, depict
ing our pockets and spelling our diges-
ton at the same time. The Pueblo In
dianS never discovered the art of glaz-
ing pottery, and the result is that all
their earthenware is more or less
porous, and when filled with water alb
serbs it sponge-lil1e, keeping the out
side always moist This moisture
evaporating cools the vessel and the
water it contains, just as one can feel
the GOODNESS that comes from a breeze
on the body when wet with perspira-
tion. In the dry air of the southwest,
where the Pueblo Indian finds his
home, this evaporation is very great,
and the result is that the pottery ollas
are used by whites, Indians and Mexi-
cans alike to hold cool drinking water.
Anyone who has travelled through
the southwest cannot fail to recollect
the old brownish buff-colored ola with
it's curious Indian decorations in con-
ventionalized pictures of birds, beasts
and fish that were sure to be found in
the fork of dry cottonwood branch
standing just inside the door with a
yellow calabash, or if, in very modern
house, tin cup hanging from nail
on the door jamb. And water from it
after a long, dusty ride in the boiling
sun tasted many times better than the
coolest ice cream soda he ever paid ten
cents for in the states. 1t may have
been what Col. Tom Ochiltree terms
the large, elegant thirst that added to
the supposed virtues of the ola as a
water cooler, but the scientists of the
National Museum will tell you that the
cooling qualities of the porous pottery
are quite as real as imaginary. In the
better class of Mexican houses the
Clipped and battered ola in its pictur-
esque rustic support will usually be re-
placed by more daintily ornamented
earthen one shaped like an army can
teen, suspended by gray Mexican
scarf in the draught of a window, or a
highly ornate bowl of u couple of gal
Ions capacity, swung in the same way
in netting of twisted yucca fbers.
But the cooling principle is always the
same.

HE WAS A sNEEZER.
The Man in the Car Who Caused JOY to
Three Foolish Girls.

The Man in the Car Who Caused Joy to
Three Foolish Girls.
Three shabby girls and a shabby
man got into north-bound car at the
post Office the other day, and soon after
the man sneezed. He and the girls
were strangers to each other, but the
sauciest of the three girls laughed
when he sneezed. The man took no
special notice of her, but soon he
sneezed again and again, and then all
three of the girls giggled, and so did
the man. In the next three blocks the
man sneezed half u dozen times, and at
each sneeze the sauciest of the girls
said something and the others laughed.
By this time the other passengers
were interested, and everybody await
ed the mans sneeze He kept it up
at intervals for the next half mile, and
everybody in the car roared at each
explosion. New passengers got in to
find the whole car in commissions.
Staid persons tried first not to
laugh, but when the mans face
twitched as his sneeze hung fire and
the sauciest girl cried: Watch him go
off, y even they had to join in the fun
Passengers came and went, but the
man and the three girls remained.
Every body came in sober and went out
laughing, and after the thing had been
going on for three miles the passen-
gers who got in at the post Office were
in doubt whether the man had fever
or was only an excellent facial co14tor-
