In the British Museum of Natural

correspondent of Nature calls atten.
ton to the fact that about twenty of
the annual rings of growth, making the
latter part of the first hundred wears
of the trees existence, are crowded TO-
gether in a remarkable manner. indi
eating that during those twenty years
some cause was in operation greatly re-
tarding the growth of the tree. On look
ing into history the correspondent
found that, nearly at the time when the
tree in question was evidently suffer
ing from very adverse conditions. Asia
and Europe were undergoing extraor-
binary disturbances from earthquakes.
atmospheric commissions, the failure Of
crops, pestilentlal diseases, etc. China,
in particular, suffered even more than
Europe. He therefore suggests that
possibly the crowded rings in the trunk
of the tree may be a record of the ex-
istence of the same unusual conditions
affecting animal and vegetable life at
that time in North America also; and
he shows that If the tree had reached
its full growth, and ceased TO form new
rings few years before it was felled
In 1885, the correspondence in time
would be complete.

Of land and sometimes over 300 comes
with the suddenness of a rise in the
Mississippi river.
The lake is formed in hollow en-
tlrely surrounded by gradually inclined
nils Of blue grass fields and meadows
These hills are at first imperceptible to
the eye ON account of the gradual and
even slope Of the surrounding country.
A closer examination of the eonntrv
shows that for miles around il all grad

springtime lake forms. but the place it.
self Is merely slightly rolling tract of
land, over which various fences. trees
and strawberries are seen. As the lake
depends On the rainfall for its supplv of
water, 1t is larger some years than 9TH

acres of land and the water all the way
from . TO 80 feet deep. This body
of water is veritable Mecca for ducl,

ducks pass through Kentucky on their
way to the northern lakes.
There is no ostlet above the earth in

Ingenious Chin panzee..

A recent report by Prof. 0. Il. Cook
on colonization in Liberia gives some
Interesting facts about the chimpan-
ices living in that country. 1t appears
that these animals, which bear such
curious resemblances to men that the
natives call them "old-time people,"
are very fond of the flesh of land crabs,
which they dig out of the burrows. To
crack open the shells of the crabs they
dash them against rocks. They also
crack nuts with stones in the regular
human fashion; and most curiou~ of
all, perhaps, they kill pythons by grasp
ing the huge serpents about the neck
and beating their heads with stones.

A Homely Court.

A backwoods court is thus described
in the Cincinnati Enquirer: "A desper-
ado was offended at the court and used
unbecoming language, and when fined
for contempt claimed that he could not
be guilty of contempt, since there was
no courthouse. The squire ordered a
circle made to represent courthouse,
whereupon the desperate got outside Of
the line and renewed his insults. When
told that he disturbed the court, he
said, Make your courthouse larger. ,
Another line was drawn, with similar
results, and still others, until the muir
murings ceased to disturb the court.
Another defendant was guilty of n
breach of the peace. The court sent him
to Jail, writing the following mittimus /:

keep him until call for him. He has

A Hiding Plant.

Many Insects and other members of
the animal kingdom mimic the forms
and colors Of plants and other natural
objects, for the supposed purpose of
concealment from enemies, but it is
rare TO find similar popularity in
plants. An instance Of this, however,
has been noticed at the Cape of Good
Hope, where species of mesembryan-
themum, or fig-marigold, so closely re-
sembles the stones amid which it grows.

ly escapes the attention of cattle and
other browsing animals South Africa
presents other instances of what is
called protective mimicry in plants.

A DANGEROUS Bird
What WIN Happen Some Day to an In
cautious Hunter of Blue Herons.


"Some of these days" said the long
shore hunter. Il expect to open nv daily
paper and see headline something like
this, Killed by Blue Heron, and I'll
tell you why. The blue hercn is a bic.
powerful bird which has already badly
disfigured the faces Of several men. The
men have wounded a bird, and then
thinking TO capture it alive they went
up to it. Why, I'd as soon try to kiss
wounded grizzly. The birds grow as
tall as feet. and have necks like a fish
rcd and just the kind Of muscles TO
move it the quickest with the most
strength. They could drive their bill
points through a quarter inch panel
THE hunter goes up TO the bird and
sees it lying there looking as innocent
as robin, with only wing broken.
What fine pet it would make, the
fool hunter thinks. Then he picks the
bird up and starts for home in a wagon
or boat, with the bird between his
knees. The birds neck is drawn back
like letter s. All of sudden the
bill shoots up and gives the man a cash
alongside the eye three inches long.
That is what always has happened.
The wounded bird has missed its aim,
but sometimes-and you want to remem-
Der it-this feathered spearman will
drive its bill far into its enemy's eye,
and like steel umbrella stick the point
of the bill will penetrate the mans
brain. l guess the birds aim ha% al
ways been spoiled by the pain Of its
wounds, and so many human l.fe has
been saved l don't monkey with
wounded bitterns, CT eranes-well,

Mineral Fertilizer. for the cbcrr

\ v.
In no one of our fruits is the stone or
seed so large in proportion to the whole
as 1t is in the cherry. For this reason,
and also because it perfects its fruit
in very short time, mineral fertilizers
in available form are always needed
for the cherry tree. Some of the most
productive and largest kinds of cher.
ries are very apt to rot before they
ripen. This is almost always an indl-
cation that mineral fertility. especially
potash, is needed. 1t is the potash in
the soil that not only perfects the seed.
but is necessary also in giving the color
to the fruit that makes it attractive.
The most highly-colored fruits require,
therefore, liberal supplies of the potash
fertilizers
