One day he was taking a copious
meal Of oil when he realized that he
had forgotten his hereditary caution,
and that a man was watching him.
The man showed no sign Of attacking
him, but rather a pleased curiosity. and
the rat therefore stayed. The result of
this meeting was that in time the rat
got into the habit OF taking his meals
in the presence of the workmen, and
that to have killed SO clever q creature
would have been regarded as a crime.

A Rat OF Taste and r.lens.

e.0S ~
A story is told Of a recently deceased
tat who obtained oil from q narrow
necked bottle by dipping his tail therein.
Then he licked the oil from his long and
well-oiled tail and waxed fat. The
truth of the story is certified by reputa-
BILE men, and is contained in "Stories of
Animal Sagacity," a book published by
s. w. Partridge & Co., of London.
The rat had the misfortune to be born
in a machine shop. where only metal
was used. and there was. consequently,
little good food for his kind. He was
brought up in penury by his parents.
and after he was old enough to look out
for himself, gained a precarious liveli-
hood by looking for scraps of food acct
dentally left around.
1t happened that the men always kept
a bottle Of oil uncorked. and fastened
by a wire to a certain part of the me-
winery. 1t was in constant use. One
evening the thoughtful rat betook him.
self to a study Of this bottle. It lay
open temptingly before him. Its con-
tents would make him fat and shiny.

The Balancing of Trees.

correspondent of Nature. Watching q

opposite way. and although all the
branches were plunging and bending
before the blast, they did not move i'll

ton. But for the peculiarity in the mo-
ton of the branches. he thinks. the rec
could not have escaped %uprooting; and
he suggests that this kind of balancing
serves in general to protect large trees.

their branches nnsymmetrically placed,

The BAY of Fundy,s Tides.

Extraordinary stories are sometimes
told of the immense tides in the Bay Of
Fundy. The scientific facts in regard
to them have recently been published
by the Canadian Geological Survey.
The bay ia about 145 miles long, and
gradually narrows. and becomes shall
lower. as it p%enetrates the land. The
upper part divides into two main
branches. and several small side bays
exist. The highest tides at the mouth
of the main bay reach eighteen feet.
Going up the bay they increase In
height. At Digby Neck they attain %
feet. ut st. John q feet. at Petitcodiac
River 40 feet. and at Noel River in
Cobequid Bay 50 feet, the maximum.
Some branch bays are left empty at
ebb tide.

Rsrds Strangely Concealed.

Mr.. A. Fl. Thaycr. an artist, believes
he has discovered that the light color of
the under parts of birds and small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At a recent meeting of
the American Ornithologists' Union he
proved by experiments that an object
nearly of the color of the ground. like a
potato, is very conspicuous when placed
n few inches above the soil aud viewed
from a little distance. But when the
under side is painted white. and gradu-
ally shaded into the color Of the upper
part, the object disappears by blending
with the ground: the whiteness beneath
countcracts the effect of the shadow of
the body.

Overhead Weather.

The experiments with kites carrying
meteorological Instruments. which have
been SEM to IN elevation of more than
Il mile from Blue Hill, near Boston,
have made known some interesting
facts about the state of the weather mt
that height above the ground. Mr.. III.
II. Clayton. of the Blue Hill Observa-
tory, says that IL mile up in the air the
temperature is usually from Is to %
degrees Fahrenheit colder than 1T the
earth's surface. and there is virtually
no daily change in temperature, the
nights being as warm as the days. The
only changes are due to the passage of
warm and cold waves. During fair
weather at this height the days are very
damp and the nights extremely dry.
The average velocity of the wind is four
times as great as mt the ground. and
hurricanes of 100 miles an hour are not
uncommon" 1t also appears that a
warm wave, as a rule, sets in first aloft.

At q recent rifle meeting in Switzer-

Geneva Journals report. that the steel
iacketed bullets of the marksmen were
swerved from their course by the intiu-
ence of telegraph and telephone wires
running alongside the range Expert
ments were then made at Thun by plac-
ing four steel cables parallel with the
range, and about 40 yards distant from
1t, and sending a current Of 5000 volts
through them. The effect, 1t is said,
was to turn the bullets 80 far from
their course that the deviation amount
ed to "a yards on a range of 900 yards.
The bullets on being taken from the tar
gets were found to be magnetized.
Next, on an artillery range of 5000
yards, the electromagnetic influence
was generated 200 yards in front of the
targets and 40 yards to one side. The
%projectiles were swerved IA degrees
