THEY DO NOT SIT.
Some birds That Hatch Their Rxes by
Queer Devices.

Queer Devices.
It is we'll known that the Australian
megapod is bird that is accustomed to
sit on its eggs. In certain parts of Aus
tralia are found numerous mounds of
considerable size and height which the
first explorers took to be burial grounds.
These were made by the Megapodius
tumulus, which uses them for Matching
its eggs They have sometimes consid-
cradle dimensions A nest that is II
feet high and 55 feet in circumference
may be regarded as large.
Each megapod builds its own nest
with material which it gathers from all
sides, and these are exactly what the
gardener uses in the month of March to
make his forcing beds-namely, leaves
and accompanying vegetable matter,
which, by their fermentation, give of
an appreciabie amount of heat. In the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprout-
ing of the seeds. In the nest it suffices
for the Developments and Matching of the
Young birds. and the mother can go
where she likes and occupy herself as
she wishes without being troubled by
the duties of sitting.
In the small island Of Ninafou, in
the Pacific. another bird has u some
what similar habit. in so far as it also
abandons its eggs, but in place Of OBJ
tanning the necessary heat from fer
mentation it gets it from warm sand.
The leipoa, or native pheasant Of Aus
tralia, acts like the megapod and watch
es tho temperature of its mound very
closely, covering and uncovering the
eggs several times q day to cool them
or heat them as becomes necessary. Aft
er Matching. the young bird remains in
the mound several hours. 1t leaves OH
the second dry. but returns for the
night, and not until the third day is it
able to leave for good the paternal abode.

C~aIifornia's Chief City viii Soon
Reach Sen Level and Disappear.
~The whole peninsula on which San
Francisco stands has been and is grad
ualIy sinking down to the sea level"
said Prof. Andrew c. Lawson, the retir-
ing president of the University of Cali
fornia Scientific association, while de-
livering his farewell address before
that body recently at Berkeley. The
subject of the lecture was 1.-The Flood
ing of the Golden Gate"
Nearly all parts of the earth's sur
face show the phenomena OF uplift or
depression" said Prof. Lawson. Move
ments of this kind are either continent
al or orogenic. 1t is necessary TO have
in mind the c~riteria of these two move
ments. The criteria of the uplift are
found in the presence OF terraces and
sharply shaped canyons. The c%riteria
of depression arc shown when deltas
are built up at the mouths of rivers,
when the sea foods into the valleys.
Some time this depression continues to
such a degree that mountains become
islands, sinking, as it were, to their
knees in the water. Greece is such a
mountainous region up TO its knees in
the sea.
"From Puget sound to Behring sea
we have n depressed coast. The shore
from the straits of Fuca to Cape Men
docino shows evidence of uplift and also
slight depression afterward. From
Cape Mendocino to Russian river there
has been a constant uplift. But from
this point to the Bay of Monterey the
region after having been elevated has
been marked by a great sag. 1t is to
that sag we owe the Bay of San Fran
cisco, Bolinas Bay, brakes bay and
Tomales bay. They are stream valleys
invaded by the waters of the ocean. Thls
fact is very noticeable in Lake MERGED.
1t is clearly a valley formed by juncture
of several streams. The lake has been
invaded by the sea and now its bottom
is ten feet below the sea level.
THE phenomena of depression are
also seen at Richardson's bay and at
San Rafael and Napa. The river val
leys are filling up and making tidal
marshes. More positive evidence is
found in the swamp material in the
Oakland estuary, taken 20 feet below
the tide. The bay has been invaded by
the sea and flooded the river valleys.
"Au this subsistence is of compare
lively recent geological change and
may go deeper. L am not sure of the
downward movement at the present
time. 1t is hard to catch it on the move.
Probably the whole of the San Francis
co peninsula is going down as the maxi
mum effect of the great sag that made
the Golden Gate at San Francisco."-

Beauty is blood deep.
A person constipated, with a lazy liver,

No one with a furred tongue, a bad
breath, a jaundiced eye, can be beautiful, no
matter how perfect are form and features.
To be beautiful, to become beautiful, or
remain beautiful, the blood must be kept
pure and free from bile, microbes, disease
germs and other impurities.
Cascarets Candy Cathartic will do it for
you quickly, surely, naturally. They never

prevent sour stomach, kill disease-germs,
tone up the bowels, purify the blood, and

DEPENDS ON D
How to Turn n Promising calf Into q
Profitable Cow.

So"
When calves are intended to be
grown for cows it is a great mistake to
feed them SO heavily as to increase the
tendency to fatten. Often this can be
seen at birth in the thick, bull-like
neck and heavy head. In such ease it
is best to fatten and sell to the butcher,
no matter what stock may be its ances-
try. But frequently also the calf which
seems to be all right for a good mixer
is fed so heavily and on such fattening
food that its tendency for life to pro-
duce fat and beef rather than milk and
butter is fully established. To grow a
good COW the calf should not be stunted,
says American Cultivator. That will
impair digestion, which is just as i'm
portant for the COW as it is for a beef
animal. Calves intended to be kept for
cows should have much %succulent food,
with enough of the kind of nutrition re-
quired to make large growth. Then it
will be well developed and come early
into heat. 1t is always advisable to
breed as early as possible. Then when
the tendency to milk production has
been fully established, good feeding
with the best food will turn the product
of the feed into the milk pail, where it
will be most for the farmers profit to
have it.

structiOn of Roads.
The abnormal floods along the Missis-
sippi river have provoked much discus
sion of ways and mean for preventing
their future recurrence or for restrain
ing the swollen stream within safe linn
its. Some urge a stronger and higher
system of ~levees; others the opening of
new, or ~reopening of old, channels,
through which the river may be partly
or wholly diverted from its present
course; and others yet other projects,
all, of course, involving the doing OF
much work and the spending of much
money. The further suggestion is made,
as applicable for the execution of any
of these schemes, that the manual labor
required on the vast job shall be done by
the able-bodied inmates of the prisons
of the various interested states. This
suggestion is an eminently practical
one, and it leads to the further sugges-
ton that just such jobs afford the best
possible field for the employment of
convict labor.
Country and suburban roads. for ex-
ample, which in all parts of the
union are in need of improvement. The
spring season is the best of all times
for bodybuilding. 1t is the very time
when farmers and villagers are most
busy with other matters and can least
well devote attention to the roads. And
it is the time when the housed-up pris-
oners are most in need of wholesome oc-
cupation in the open air. There are
three elements of the problem which
unerringly point to its right solution.
l. to do work when it can best be done.
with the least possible disturbance of
other industries and at the lowest cost
to the proprietor and to the greatest
benefit to the workmen, and, indeed, to
all concerned-if that be business wis
dom, the inmates of our state prisons
should be set at road-making forthwith.
In that way they will get the exercise
they need, the public will get the much
needed good roads, and there will be no
competition between convict and free
labor. How much the convicts need
such work is demonstrated in the Kings
county pe%nitentiary, where the inmates
are reported to be in danger of going
mad, some of them actually doing so,
through enforced idleness. How much
improved roads are needed almost any
suburban or rural village will testify
