KNOW whep rher Arc nnngrx.

Pigeons must have the credit of pos
sessing some intelligence. A curious
and very interesting sight may be seen
each day, Sundays excepted, at one of
the windows of the Office of Henry W.
Williams, in the Rialto building, oppo-
site the postoffice. For the past few
years some 80 or 40 pigeons have been
bushel of cracked grain is purchased at
time for the purpose. The birds gath
er on the west side of the postoffice and
watch for the window to open. They
know perfectly well when that hour ar
rives. If there should chance to be
any delay in opening the window, they
will often fly over to the other windows
of the same Office and tap on the glass
to remind the clerks who may be sitting
there that it is time for their breakfast.
The minute the window opens they land
on and about the sill and push and
crowd and stand on each others backs
and sometimes fight, SO eager are they
to pick up the grain which is spread all
about the outside. They soon become
quite tame and readily eat out of the
hand.-Boston Transcript.

Punntce Staae.

Pumice stone is porous feldspathic
scoria from volcanoes. The pores are
linear and so fine as often to be barely
visible except by means Of magnifying
glass. Its specific gravity is 2.2 to 2, A
water being the unit-but by reason
Of its spongy texture pieces are often
buoyant enough to float on water. It
consists chiefly of silica, with some
times II per cent of lumina, per cent
of soda and A per cent of potash. 1t is
Of grayish shades of color, passing into
yellow and brown. The chief source
from which it is obtained for CONNER
cial purposes is Campo Bianco, one of
the Lipari islands, where it forms hill
nearly 1000 feet high. In the arts
puniice is largely employed, mostly in
a puIverized state, as a polishing mate
rial for ivory, wood, glass, marbles, etc.
1t is also used in lump for grinding and
smoothing metallic surfaces, leather,
etc., and in the preparation of parch-

lied pumice are used in making fancy

Very Ancient Jokes.

When Themistocles was trying to get
money out Of the. Andrians for the
Greece defense fund and told them that
the Athenians would come with two
great gods, persuasion and necessity,
the Andrians replied that the Athenians
were we'll off with two such serviceable
gods, but they had two gods who al
ways dwelt in their country-poverty
and impossibility.
Cyrus bitter jest about the fishes to
the wretched Ionians, who had dcH,ined
his overtures, and then after the taking
of Sardis wanted to come to terms, has
too much cruelty to be humorous.
"Say, said the insulting victor, "that
piper, seeing fishes in the sea, were to
pipe to them, thinking they will come
out to the land, and when he was dis
appointed of his hope took net and
inclosed great multitude of the fishes
and drew them to land, and seeing them
Topping about said to the fishes, Cease
dancing to me, since you would not
come out and dance when l played. -

Aworkmap,s TIms Checker.

An English time check has been de-
signed for use in factories and work

that it is the only apparatus of the kind
actuated and controlled by electricity.
1t contains no special clockwork and no
complicated parts and requires no fix
ing. AS many checks can be fitted to
one clock as may be desired, and any
ordinary clock can be adapted for the
purpose. Mach man is provided with
checks, one of which he drops into the
slot of the apparatus on entering the
building. The checks are subsequently
removed, and after their numbers have
been registered placed on a board ready
for the men to take when next leaving
work. Any number of slots can be pro-
vided, but as rule two only, marked
respectively early" and Late" are re-
quired. When the time for beginning
work has gone by, the "early" slot is
closed by an electrical attachment,
and the late" slot is opened. Before
the next spell of work commences the
" "late'' slot is closed, and the "early'
slot is made ready to receive the checks
