Tanning the sparrows

A barber i'll Kensington has trained
common sparrows from the street to
fly in and out of his shop. The birds
are never molested by the BARRIERS Gus
toners, who have grown as fond of
them as the barber himself. Some
times, when the room is pretty well
filled with the chirping little fellows,
the barber will make a sweep with his
hand and pretend to catch a fly. I'M
nediately all the birds will flutter over
to him and perch upon his arms, shoul-
ders or knees, and watch the hand in
which the, fly is supposed to be impris-
oned. The barber opens his hand grad
ually, one finger at time, while the
birds sit with heads cooked to one side,
cxpectantly waiting for the prize. If
there should happen to be fly there,
which is seldom the case this weather,
there is grand rush and scramble of
chirping rivals.-Philadelphia Record.

Light Without Heat.

Ose of the things which inventors
would like much to accomplish is the
production of light without heat Ma
ture proves by the example of the fire
fly and the glowworm that the thing
can be done. Experiments at the
Physical institute in Berlin have lately
shown-what had long been believed
without direct measurement of the
mperature-that the light radiated
from Geissler tube, when an electric
current passes through it, is accom-
panied by very little heat. This accords
with the view that we must look to
electricity for solution of the problem

STORIES In PASSING.

Merton has lost all interest in horse
flesh. Once in his life he yearned to
own good driving horse, but one ex-
perience drove away all such desire.
A man owed him a hundred dollars
and Merton, after waiting a year for
payment, took a young horse on the
debt. 1t was beautiful animal, dark.
rich brown in color, with head and neck
well uD. and legs IN good trim. But the
horse was young and wild and IN
broken. And that was what caused all
the trouble.
The next day after the agreement for
the horse. Merton purchased a small
road wagon for forty dollars and light
harness for ten. Then he went home
and attempted to break the animal. 1t
took an hour to get the horse hitched
to the wagon, another to get him out OF
the driveway into the yard. Then al

frightened deer. racing up the road and

crawled out from under the broken
wagon with his hat gone and his coat
split up the middle of the back, the
horse IVES running wildly across the
Antelope valley toward Wyuki GENE

A liveryman went after the horse ard
brought him home. That night the
animal, still filed with the GeviItry Of
his afternoons experience, broke his
halter and proceeded TO kick tho sides
Of the barn out. The next morning
Merton callel up professional trainer
by telephone and turned over the horse
to him to be broke. He was to pay the
man 81 80 day for doing it.
That afternoon Merton and the fam

nouItains, telling a neighbours hIr; d

and look after him until their return.
But the ncighbor's hired man forgot all
about il, and when Merton returned, the
trainer came round with the horse and
