THEY DO NOT SIT.
Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs b,
Oueer DaYicas.

Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs BY
Queer Devices.
1t is we'll known that the Australian
megapod is bird that is accustomed tc
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 ID
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 decomposing vegetable matter
which, by their fermentation, give off
an appreciable amount of heat. In the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprout-
ing of the seeds. In the nest it suffices
for the development 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 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 the temperature of its mound very
closely, covering and unoovering the
eggs several times a day to cool them
or heat them as becomes necessary. Aft
er Matching, the young bird remains in
the mound several hours 1t leaves on
the second day, but returns for the
night, and not until the third day is it
able to leave for good the paternal abode.

Measurement of Water.

The state engineer of Wyoming il
credited with the following by the
Orange Judd Farmer: The ''inch'' as
used in the measurement of water is a
very indefinite and unsatisfactory unit.
The laws of Idaho make cubic foot
per second equal 80 miners inches. The
state engineer of Colorado computes
that under the conditions defined by
their statute it will require 49, 4 inches
to equal l cubic foot per second, but
that is only under certain conditions.
1t may vary widely from that under the
possible conditions of their law. The
miners inch in California varies in al
most every district. There is no uni
formity in the gauge nor the pressure
under which the water shall be measur-
ed, pressure varying from AZ to IL
inches. In those sections of California
in which inch pressure above the
top of the orifice is used, miners inch
is taken as discharging 0.026 cubic feet
per second, which is about 3S4 inches
to one cubic foot per second.
The Manual of Irrigation Engineer
1uSs ny 1sou, gives oU CaIIOrnld
miners inches as equal to 1 cubic
foot per second. In Wyoming the inch
has no legal status nor any recognized
method of measuring. To summarize,
the entire states in which the absolute
relation between the inch and the cubic
foot per second has been fixed by law
that relation has been fixed on the ratio
of so miners inches to 1 cubic foot
per second, but in those states where the
conditions of measurement have been
fixed by law the ratio is from about "a.
to As 9 cubic inches.

An Embarrassing Gift.

to maintain it in its present condition
as an artistic monument of its late own

ters too closely, and every one will rec
ognize the good intentions of the ladies
who make the generous gift, but some
day it will be necessary seriously to dis
cuss this business, now so much in fash
ion, of keeping up the houses that are
associated with the memory of our great
men. One day it is Carlyle, another it
is Turner, and so on.

Talmnre,s Version Of the Text.

L. De Witt Talmage has never posed as
great exegetical scholar, being by nature
man moved more by the spirit than the
letter; but, as a matter of course, his long
experience in his pulpit has given him a
wide knowledge of the Scriptures and a
capacity for quotation and application
which commands the admiration and re-
spect of thousands. AS an orator Tai
mage holds high position in spite of, or
perhaps because of, his eccentricities of
voice and gesture. Possessing power of
dramatic statement unequaled by any
clergyman Of the present day and enforc-
ing his startling propositions with that
action which Demosthenes characterized
as the sum of all eloquence this great
preacher never speaks to empty benches
and never fails to stir the minds and hearts
of his hearers.
As boy Talmage did not show marked
evidence of theological turn of mind. 1t
is related that on one occasion he attended
church with his parents and manifested
such restlessness and inattention that they
had grave doubts of his having received
any benefit from the ponderous and learned
discourse of the good old fashioned parson.
The preacher spoke on the words, IAN

Young Talmage triumphantly quoted,

This lie removed all doubts as to whether
he had paid attention to the sermon or not.

A Strange Nursery.

On the slopes of the Himalayas the
native women have a most curious plan
of disposing of their babies and keeping
them quiet while they are engaged at
work in the fields during the greater
part of the day. Before the mothers set
out to work in the morning they wrap
their babies in swaddling bands, leav-
ing nothing but their little faces ex-
posed. Then the babies are taken and
laid under ledge of rock from which
water is falling, and by means of a
bamboo the water is made to drip gen.
tly on each baby's forehead. The effect
Of the dripping water is most soothing,
and soon the little ones are all asleep
and remain motionless till taken up by
their mothers on their return from their
work, when they are carried off to be
unwrapped, dried and fed

The Use of the Gyromele, Curious Sur
gical Device.


While the latest discoveries in electrical
science and chemistry are widely herald
ed and get the lions share of praise in the
world of nonprofessional people, the doc
tors of the country are keeping quietly at
work devising new instruments and new
mechanical appliances to lessen pain and
diminish disease. Hardly a month passes
but some important improvement is made
In American surgical science, and each
year shows distinct advance Often some
notable new instrument comes out that

ethics for a doctor to patent device or to
get pay for making it, All he can do is to

the market and see that his brother ply

One of the most curious devices of any
thing in the surgeons line is the gyro-
mele, delicately adjusted and novel in
strument for sponging out the stomach.

supersede the old washing instrument, but
that it shall be applied to certain CASES.
