Eyeless Animals.

Many of the lower animals are known
to see without eyes, the skin having q
high degree of sensitiveness to light.
Thus earthworms, the maggots Of flies
and eyeless centipeds find their way
about nearly as readily as similar crea.
lures which have eyes, In recent Ger
man work on the sensitiveness to light
OF eyeless animals, DR.. Nagel, who
made his observations chiefly on mol
lusks, found that the eyeless bivalves
and snails he experimental with showed
a high degree of sensitiveness to light
He found that some species reacted es-
pecially to diminution, others to in
crease of light, and that this difference
was correlated with other characters. -

BEARS THAT MIGRATED.
Instances Of Their Gathering and March
ing Away Together.

Instances Of Their Gathering and March
ing Away Together.
Manly Hardy writes to The Forest
and Stream about bears that migrated:
1.-The first notice of these migrations
is to be found in book by John Josse-
Ign, entitled New England Rareties
Discovered published in 1873. In this
book he says that great companies Of
bears sometimes travelled across what is
probably the Piscataqua river.
About 20 years ago. early in Septem-
Der, my father one night witnessed a
bear migration. The night was a dark
one. The bears came to the east bank
OF the Penobscot river in the town Of
Orrington, about seven miles below Ban.
gor. The bears could be heard calling
and answering each other till low water,
when they took to the water, swan
across and landed on the Hampden side.
In the morning it was found that q
large number had crossed. My father
saw their tracks across single plank
in a shipyard.
again, about 80 years ago, friend
VI NAAAAob AAShAy SAoPP, WIN 40 quOtcu III
Casinos Standard Natural History as
an authority on bears, told me that dur
ing the fall he had gone ON a trapping
trip, but had found few bears, till one
morning in November after snowfall
he found the tracks Of nine different
bears, all headed up one little valley.
For several days after that more bear
tracks were found, all headed in the
same direction-from east to west. They
denned up when it came time to do SO,
and in the spring headed east again.
ut is believed among sportsmen that
bears go back into the woods to den up
and come to the vicinity Of the clear
ings every spring, but extensive migra-
tions by bears are as little heard of as
those Of wild turkeys and prairie chick
ems. What paturalists do not understand
is how the animals, which usually scat
ter over miles of territory, know how,
when or where to get together for their
trips"

A CLEVER FORGER.


Trapped by the Bank.
Not long ago there stood before the
paying teller's window of one of New
York's big banks an unctuous little
man smiling blandly over 500 check.
Signature, Endorsement and every detail
were correct. To make assurance doubly
sure, the little man explained with
some insistence, "You see, I have had
my Endorsement certified
The check was paid without hesita-
tion, but the teller said to himself,
"Why is that idiot standing there with
such broad grin, trying to fix his face
on my memory?" And duly he took
motto.
A few days later the man appeared
at the window again, his countenance
distended in the same smile, with an
other check from the same firm. The
Endorsement was certified in exactly the
same way, and this time the amount
was 5000. There was absolutely moth
ing wrong with the check on it's face,
and it came from we'll known custom
er of the bank. 'In spite of ALL" said
the paying teller, something told me
that fellow was crook. So I said I
should have to look up the account be-
fore it could be paid, and while he
waited 1 slipped around to the firm 5
office, which was only short distance
away.
'The check was examined and pro-
nounced perfectly good, and I was about
to walk away when the head of the
firm said: why, hold up. We've issued
no checks this morning And then I
went back and bagged my crook. He
had first sold the firm bond and got
his original 500 check in payment.
This he had used to initiate the firm S
signature on the second and likewise
to impress me with the fact that he was
all right, so that when he came around
second time would not bother him. !"

A Berlin Custom.

In Berlin there are iron posts or

for omnibus or tramcar. At these places
the passengers wait, and the drivers are

him. Cook thinks he is in Portland.
