A Stag Steam Generator.

A Stag steam generator, for utilizing
the waste heat contained in the furnace
Stag for the production of steam for mo-
tive power purposes has been designed
by an Australian inventor. The ma
chine consists of a steel shell in the
form of strong egg ended receiver
having hlttened faces on the top and
bottom, and through these flat portions
a number of Galloway tubes arranged
In two rows and tapered from 8 inches
at the top to 10 inches at the bottom
are passed, secured to the shell by
hanges. The lower or larger end of each
tube is closed by means of a cast iron
door manipulated by means of con-
venient lever, and the upper end of each
tube is provided with funnel for con-
veying the Stag into the tubes, pair of
iron rails also passing across the upper
face of the boiler and all the tunnels,
thus serving as a track for the Stag
pots. At each end of the boiler a bin
is provided, into which the skin of the
Stag is dumped, which always sets on
the cast iron pots from which it is pour
ed. and this redhot material lying
against the ends of the boiler plates
serves 10 conserve the heat.-Neu

Talking Canary Birds.

The story of the talking canary, which
attracted much attention, has brought
out other instances of an acquired pow
er of speech in the same bird. In the
organ of the Selborne society, where the
story originally appeared, there are
some further cases given, and probably
many more may be yet forthcoming.
Attention has been directed to an ac-
count of talking canary at Norwood
which was published in a natural his
tory magazine for 1853. 1t began by
repeating a word which its mistress had
often used to it sic, kissie''-and
by following the word up by an imita-
tion of the sound of a kiss. Its mistress
had been in the habit of kissing the
bird and talking to it as if it were a
child. After time the bird repeated
other words, until it had large vocabu-
larry of phrases, one of which consisted Of
five words.
Again, in 1868, talking canary was
heard and seen at cottage near Bath.
Visitors crowded to the spot to hear and
see it. Its vocabulary consisted of such
phrases as are generally taught to par
rots. A case is also recorded of a
speaking canary having been exhibited
In Regent street about 90 years ago.
The explanation given is that the bird
is gifted with unusual powers of imita-
tion and will pick up airs freely which
1T is in the habit of frequently hearing
Left to itself, it quickly initiates the
notes Of other birds, and in Germany
and the Tyrol canaries are usually
placed for this purpose beside the night
ingale. In our own country they are
often taught to initiate the lark. The
words which it initiates may be regard
cd as a mere development or variant of
its musical notes. liverpool Mercury.

Highland and LOwland Scotch.

There is hardly question as to the
characteristics of the highland and the
lowland Scotch. James Bonwick, au-
thor of ''Who Are the Scotch?' asserts
that the highlanders are not Gaelic
race, but that they are a miscellaneous
mixture of outcast Irish, rebel North
men, banished Saxons, conspiring Nor
thumblians restless Lothianers, unyield-
ing Normans, intriguing barons, hunt
ed freebooters. decayed gentlemen and
loafers of all orders. He shows that the
highland clans or tribes are, most of
them, of comparatively recent origin,
and that even Bishop Leslie, in 1878,
has no mention whatever of the distinc-
ton into tartans.
Bonwick's book, when it appeared
made considerable sensation, as he was
very severe in his criticism on such
works as the dandy "Vestiarium Scott
cum" which gave accounts and even
pictures of the tartans of border tribes
who never wore tartans or kits. Sir
Walter Scott thought he had traced the
work to the counter of one of the great
clan tartan warehouses in Edinburgh.
What strikes one most in the books and
articles which have dealt with highland
subjects and clans is the suggested orr
gins beyond which the most careful
student fails to reach. The world is I'M

ditions of the clans for much very en-

Maggie Ward learned one nj hit when

to wait before she saw that her arrow
