In the countries bordering on the polar
seas, where tho changing seasons bring
alternately the two extremes of dearth and
plenty, birds are more numerous in the
short summer than anywhere else all the
world over, and i'm winter absent altogeth-
er. All are emigrants there by force of cir
cumstanccs. In like manner the birds of
temperate climates are affected by the
seasonal changes, though in less degree,
through the influence of cold and heat up
on their food supplies rather than by eff
feet OF cold upon their well protected
bodies. A coat Of mail is not to be COM
pared to coat of feathers for safety, so
far as bird IS life is concerned Layer up
on layer of feathers can withstand any
amount of water or any degree of cold.
In proof Of this see how the delicate fern,
after wintering in comparatively mild
weather, go back to the ice foes Of the
polar sea and lay their eggs on the bare
ice.
For two or three weeks the slender
breast of the sea swallow is pressed against
cold block Of ice. Again, as another ex-
ample of the influence of food rather than
climate I'm governing bird action, take the
colony of beccancos. The beccafico is
Mediterranean bird common on the south
ern shores of Spain and Italy, I'm the Gre
clan islands, Sicily and Malta, and on
the northern shores Of Africa Formerly
it was quite unknown In the British isles,
but some years ago a large orchard of fig
trees was planted near Brighton, and tho
beccaflcos have discovered the fact and
come over to share the spoil. Doubtless
the nightingales told them the story of
English figs and showed them the way
over. Be this as 1t may, the little birds
from the warm shores Of the Medditerra-
mean bid fair to become established as nat
uralized British subjects. = Littell's Liv-
ing Age. t4it

Rainnakiug.

Now, as to the possibility Of producing
rain by artificial means, it is never safe
to say what things are possible and what
things are impossible to man. What the
future may bring forth no one can tell
At the present time, however. there Is no
evidence to show that even the smallest
local shower has been produced artificial
ly. Further than that, it is safe to say
that no method of producing artificial rain
has yet been publicly proposed which sug-
gests to one familiar with the scientific
principles involved even possibility Of
success That such attempts have re-
ccived the official recognition and the
financial support of congress is only an
other evidence Of the gross ignorance Of
scientific principles which is prevalent
among our so called educated men. That
some Of the men who advocate these wild
schemes are honest i'm their motives can
not be questioned, but that all the profcs-
sional rainmakers are conscicnceless fakirs
Is scarcely more questionable Professor

HOW WATCHES RUN.
Their Regularity Depends Largely Upon
the Owners Magnetism.


EVERY man is his own magnet" Is the
proposition recently evolved by WASH
| ington ieweler of many years experience.
"It Is all dependent on the animal mag
netism OF tho owner whether or not his
watch will run fast or slow, said the jew
eler when explaining his theory to the
| postman 1.-THE same watch VIII run at
| different speeds when carried by different
persons, and no person Is likely to put a
watch on and have it keep satisfactory
time without returning once or twice To
the jeweler 20 have the regulator touched
| TO get the system of IL keyed up to the
same pitch as that Of the owner.
"Now. / used TO have friend who had
an excellent Swiss watch, while had one
of another make. BY mutual consent at
one time we exchanged watches, and,
though they had gone all right before, they
then changed their gait entirely, mine
running five minutes ahead in couple OF
days and his running five minutes behind
There was 10 minutes difference in our
temperaments. But that is nothing conf
pared to the difference between some peo-
pie. Sometimes a watch that will run
well on one man will not go with another
and there are some people who cannot get
watch that will run on them at all.
II remember n good many years ago
had man come TO my place with an old
fashioned English lever silver watch TO be
repaired. 1 had some very nice gold
watches in stock at the time, and as he
looked we'll off tried to sell him one, but
he laughed and said If any of the gold
watches L had in the store would run "a
hours in his pocket he would give me twice
what asked for it. He said he had tried
all sorts of gold watches and had never
been able to get one that would run while
he had it. He had experimental with his
brothers watch only little while before,
he said, and it cost him $500 to have 1t
demagnetizcd after he had carried &c in his
pocket two days. Most silver watches act
ed the same way with him, but the old
English watch he was carrying had dou-
BILE inside case TO il and worked fairly well.
''I've never been able to tell whether
the average watch will run faster when
il Is in its owner possession or not There
seems to be no rule on the subject, but
can never regulate watch on my swing
board there and then give it to a customer
and have 1t keep good time. Then there
is a variation with a change in vitality. A
watch will ordinarily run slower the Ion
ger it is carried after cleaning because the
oil dries and the bearings are harder, but
/ have had customers come to me and say
that their watches had started up and
gone TO gaining time several months after
they had been cleaned. / just tell them
tkat can't account for it except on the
theory Of "A change in their own vitality or
temperament It's one of those things
that cannot be explained, but 1t is true
nevertheless. Washington Post.
