THE RAIN CROW.

Facts Of Interest Regarding the A.ssFA
ean.Cuckoo.
Tho American cuckoo belongs to the
woodpeckeF tribe, and is only summer
visitor, coming about the 1st of June
and leaving early in the fall for Florida
Unlike the English cuckoo. OUTS builds
its own nest and raises its own young,
to whom it Is n most devoted parent.
We have two species in this country,
the yellow bill and the black BILL the
latter being best known in Pennsyl-
vania.
Both, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
are smaller than the old world spe-
ciee, and differ frora it in color, being
ereenish olive above and blush white
beneath, while the European bird is
black winged. The American cuckoo
has tail longer than it's body, which
givos it hewk-li5e appearance, and
the plunsage is soft and silky, like that
Of the owl, which enables it TO fly with
out making any noise, 80 that we often
hear it oall without being able to sss
the bird.
Burroughs says: '"This call Of the
cuckoo has a solitary. hermitlike
sound, as If ne bird was alone in the
world, and called on the fates to wit
ness his desolation." He has never
heard the call enswered, nor he's he
ever seen two birds together. The
call IS heard most in cloudy weather
and before a rain. from which the bird
gets tho name Of rain crow.

His rusty blanket was thrown on his
shoulders. and his brawny arms swelIed

showed that fighting was his delight.
The hunter told me to climb a small

this, while 1t can go up large tree with

All was silence for few moments,
when he came ont and said the bear was

low tree, fastened it to the animal, and.
with their united force, dragged the
bear out. Irealy thought this was ON

One Of the most interesting species
that havo been described is the one dis
covered by Mr.. Wallace in Borneo .
number Of years ago. II has been popu
larry called the flying frog" from The
fact that It has toes Of great length
and these are fully wehbed to tae tips
If the animal wishes to descend from the
top of high tree 1t has only TO make
the leap. and By spreading cut its toes
1t converts its feet into four verftable
parachutes, and thus this little aerial
batrachiAn reaches terra frna in safe
". Among the most curious types are
the tree frogs, and Gibson says these
''are readily distinguished from. al!
others by having the ends Of their toes
dilated into knobs or disks generally
provided with q sticky secretion, by
means of which they can cling TO the
leaves and branches Of trees. They are
small, elegant and exceedingly active
creatures. the males possessing loud
voices, Of which they make copious use
during the breeding season and on the
approach OF rain" Frogs have from
remote times been regarded as weather
prophets. and at the present day, In
some parts Of Germany, the European
tree frog (Hyla arborea) is used as
barometer. A few of them are placed
in tall bottle provided with miDi.-
ture ladders, the steps of which they
ascend during fne weather. seeking the
bottom again on the approach OF rain

The results Of some Of the expert

room was asked to note the intensity
Of a tone which would be sounded every

while the clicking was regularly con-
tinued. Still tho subject OF tbs export
ment believed that be heard the tone,
as before. with every click of tho In
strument. Another experiment con-
sisted in dropping light pith ball On
the hand Of a person so placed that he
could not see what was done. Zach
fall of the ball was timed to correspond
with the sound regularly emitted by
a metronone. After awhile the ball
was no longer dropped, but the sub
jects Of the experiment contin.

pertinent blue beed was placed in the

was requested to approach the ring
and note, by means Of tape measure at
his side, the distance at which the bead
first became visible to him. Later the
bead was secretly removed. but still,

1t is natural to believe il, for have

Next u medical man was asked for bis
