A little known and striking instance
of foresight and industry exhibited by
q bird is that of the California wood
pecker. Like others of its kind this
bird is an insect eater. Yet, in view
of the approach of winter. it prepares
a store of food of wholly different
character and arcanyes this with as
much care as an epicure might devote
to the storage of his wine in cellar.
In the su amer the woodpeeker lives

The Light Of the Brain.

"His eyes blazed," is an expression which
we sometimes hear applied TO a person who
has exhibited some powerful mental excite
ment. Indeed the belief that the mans eye
sometimes shines with an internal fire OF its
own is not only wide spread, but IL based
upon fact One Of the most interesting ex-
periments ever tried by that exceedingly
interesting man, Professor Won Hemholtz,
related TO this question, is the luminosity OF
the eye. set
Going into room that was totally dark,
he was actually able to see his arms BY
means Of the light issuing from the retina
Of bis own eyes. The success Of this re-
markable experiment has been ascribed 10
the intense activity Of the eIperimentor's
brain.
In referring TO it recently Mr.. Nicols
Tesla remarked that probably only few
men could satisfactorily repeat it, as the
sight seen was sort Of "fiorescence Of brain
action" produced by the activity Of
mind Of very uncommon power.
Mr. Telss, at the same time, recalled the
fact that fash Of light Is sometimes per-
ceiyed when an idea or an image suddenly
presents itself to the intellect. And in
view OF such phenomena as these be yentur-
ed to suggest the possibility that the prob
lem Of reading ones thoughts in bis eyes
might sometime be solved through an
analysis Of the condition Of the retins.
Thu. it sometimes happens that scientific
investigation not only confirms old popular
notions, apparently Of fancifuI origin, but
also makes them appear even more powerful
than before Youth's Companion.

He Thonalt He Found Out.

A certain Philadelphia gentleman Of
more name than fame was ordered by his
physician TO travel for the benefit of his
health.
He went to England, and after firing
of humping through London he decided
TO hire trap and see the beauties of in.
terror England in dignified ease and lux
ury.
Just then he fell in with hearty, good
natured Epglishnan, and as they soon
became fast friends the American invited
the other to attend him on his coaching
trip.
The son of John Bull accepted, and
during The days of pleasure that followed
each frequently and in a joking manner
improved every OCCASION TO laud bis own
country and express his contempt Tor the

On the evening of the fourth day, as
they we're driving along dusty road, the
American pulled the horses up suddenly
and proceeded to read sign, "ro Man
chester 80 miles" and underneath were the
words, ''If you cannot read this sign apply
for informal on at the blacksmith shop"

"if that isn't the most ridiculous sign eyel
