Sea Birds Thirst.

How do sea birds quench their thirst?
Sea birds are believed to satiate their
thirst partly from falling rains and partly
from the fat and oil which they devour
ravenously when opportunity puts them in
their way. The keen eyesight of birds is
well known, and sea birds have been OBJ
served docking toward the stormeloud,
about. to burst, from all points of the
compass, and apparently drinking in the
water as it descends from the skies. They
scent rain squall. says an old skipper.
100 miles or even farther off and scud for
it with almost incredible swiftness.
Sea birds obtain fat and oil from the fish
which they catch and on which they sub
sist, and they have also been known to
follow ships for considerable distances.
picking up scraps of fat which may be
thrown overheard. These birds are be-
lieved to be able to remain for several days
and even weeks without being compelled
to seek for water, though at the same time
their marvellous speed of flight would soon
enable them to cover when necessary the
distance between them and fresh water on
the nearest land. st. Louis Post-Dis-

Tattooings

It is quite common in Fiji and Samoa
for man to bear upon his arm or body a
certificate of his birth which is practically
indelible. Tattooing is carried on in these
islands to an absurd extent, and it is the
practice to tattoo on the hand of a mother
the date Of her children's births. Some
times an enthusiastic father will tattoo
the Gate of the birth on the child itself,
and no matter how long it lives the certif-
icate will remain easily decipherable. In
some adjoining islands every child is tat
tooed almost from head to foot on it's COM
plotting its twelfth year. The result is
very remarkable, especially if the child is
growing rapidly, SO that the spaces be-
tween the tattoo marks increase in size
year by year. In Japan tattooing is now
prohibited by law, but it is still practiced
by superstitious subjects of the mikado
very freely.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat

The Life Guards.

After the peninsula the Life guards pro-
ceeded to the Netherlands and there took
part in the crowning victory Of Waterloo.
The charge OF the Household eavalry-with
whom were the First Dragon gaards-is
an event of history and will be renlem-
bered as long as history lasts.
Then ensued long interval Of 70 years,
occupied with the peaceful duties of state
z ceremonials, and the only changes which
took place were those of dress and equip
gment. In 1917 steel helmets superseded
the brass ones, which in 1912 had replaced
the cooked hats, and in 1891, at the coro-
nation of George ", these in their turn
gave way to bearskin caps, similar to
those of the grenadiers, with white
plume on the left side passing over the
crown. For this function, also, steel cui-
raises were again issued and have never
since been discarded. The present car
Dimes were adopted at the same time as the
helmets, and the'long muskets, with bay
onets and large horse pistols, were depos-
tied in the Tower.
And now we arrive at the last act-up
to date-in the history Of the Life guards.
In 1882 they, in conjunction with the rest
of the Household troops, were ordered to
Egypt, and croakers were found who
prophesied that the long interval of peace
would have spoiled the efficacy of the
guards and foretold the failure of the
drawing room soldiers" How entirely
wrong these prophets of evil were the re-
suits soon showed, and not only by the
famous midnight charge at Kassassin, but
by their whole record throughout the cam
paign, the guards proved that they were,
as they had ever been, first rate fighting
men, and that, whenever called upon,
they might be relied on to do their duty as
valiant men and rue.-Chambers' Jour

His Talk With Louis Cyr, the Strong Man
Might Exhibit Observation-Disclosures
Canadian Bicycle Races.
The following letter from Prof. G. R. Lee,
instructor of athletics at the athletic club,
will be read with interest. He is having
his vacation in Montreal, where all the ex-
hibitions of Canadian sports are now TAX
ing place.
Mr. Editor:
/ have just had talk with Louis Cyr. the
strongest man in the world. He is backed
by Richard X. Fox against any man living.
He weighs 1928 pounds and is 5ft. 1919 inches
tall He said that he has been practicing
with 56 ID. weight and can put it 3? feet.
That is better than anyone can do in Port
land with the Is ID. shot. He puts up a
23715 lb. dumb-bell with one hand, which is
of course nearly 100 lbs. heavier than a
barrel of flour. l asked him if he began
with light bells, etc. He said no, but that
he was always strong. l told him about our
gymnasium and asked him how he would
like to.come down and give an exhibition.
He said that he and his brother would come
anytime that they had an open date.
The dumb-beu etc. that he carriees with
him weigh over a ton and a half. l think
he would be a good card for field day.
Mr.. Ball, athletic. instructor of the Y. NJ.
C. A. here, told me 1 could use their gym.
and swimming tanks as long as I remain IN
Montreal. They have a fine gym. but not
as good as the P. A. C's.
The bicycle races Monday were the best
ever held in this city. The attendance was
about 1000, the largest crowd l ever saw at
a race There were Is starters in the quar-
ter mile championship race. Last year S
Canadian record was made by J. S. johnson
at Toronto, in SO 1-5 sec. 1t was lowered
Monday to SO sec., by G. G. Harbottle, OF
Toronto.
The one-mile Canadian record of 2.22 4-5
was not lowered, neither.was the half-mlie
record of 1.07 rs.
In the two-mile $50 class there were eight
starters. and an extraordinary accident
happened. Five of these eight riders came
together in collision and were all piled in
a heap, though no one was seriously hurt.
Yours etc,
G. R. Lee.
