Arctic Owls in the Northwest.

NJ icing the arrival of arctic or snowy
owls, which were mentioned in the
0regonian a week ago. They have
been seen at many places all the way
from the boundary line to the Cali
fornia line, and taxidermists are being
kept busy mounting specimens OF this
visitor from the arctic regions. One
paper says "This owl travels south

is generally found with" Owls and
ducks do not travel together unless
the duck is inside the owl. The ducks

Peeallarllies Of Vlper's Blood.

The opinion has prevailed among
scientists that the viper which resists
inoculations OF its own venom was ex-
empt because it was accustomed to the
poison. They have found that the
blood contains the same poisonous
qualities as the venom itself, and from
this drew the conclusion. But it has
been discovered that in addition to the
poison the blood contains another
substance that neutralizes the toxic
principle. To ascertain the effects of
heat upon the poison, portion OF
viper's blood was heated TO 5SS O.,
and maintained at this temperature
for quarter OF an hour. Guinea pigs
inoculated with this blood not only
did not die but were proof against in.
ooulation of fresh blood, which would,
if at first employed, cause instant
death.

rho Managemenl Of snnhen vessels.

A new invention for finding the To-
cation of snnken vessels is about to be
adopted by some OF the steamship
lines. 1t consists of buoy attached
to long rope, which is placed loosely
in suitable receptacle on the vessels
deck. II the ship sinks, the buoy
floats upon the surface, and the rope
gradually uneoils as the cage contain
ing it descends. The theory is Il very
good one, but the possibility OF en-
tangling the rope in the rigging Of the
vessel and dragging the buoy down
with it is suggested by the fact that
when a ship goes down there must bo
tremendous swirl and swashing
about of water, sufficient, at least, to
make the usefulness Of buoy and any
ordinary rope attached to it very slim
indeed.

Primitive MeIhods Of MInlIng.

The early methods of coming money
we're exceeding imperfect The metal,
having been brought to the required
standard of firmness, was melted and
cast into small bars, which was re-
duced into thin plates under the ham
mer. Square pieces cut from these
plates were rounded at the forge and
then by means of rude dies-one fixed
like an anvil to block and the other
held in the hand aud struck with q
mallet like a puuch-the round lump
OF metal was hattened and coined at
the same time. The difficulty of thus
placing the two dies exactly opposite
suggested occasional improvements (;
but it was nottill about the sixteenth
century that the forge and hammer
gave place in France and England to
tho mill and screw, method by
which the bars were reduced to their
proper thickness by rolling and the
pieces were coined by the pressure of
screw. In the British mint screw
presses impelled by steam are still
used, while in the United States, IN
France and in some other countries
the lever presses have been substitut-

The other night sat me down
Unto a meal Of love.

Placed me in heaven above.

Two hand clasps on thu side,
Some sighs direct from torrid zones
Borne on a ievered tide.

These dainties followed after,
And then to make our spirits burn,
The wine Of rapturous laughter.

The dearest meal to me!

mingling with tho deeper tones OF 4

On the hearth, opposite to him
stood Renee, flushed and radiant,
looking up into the handsome,
bronzed face OF a tall, dark eyed
young fellow OF three or four and
