crlifcrnin.s Ell BIRD.

The South American condor is nc
longer the king OF birds. The rare
California vulture, which is now only
&C. he found in the Cocopah mountains,
holds the honor. II stands about four
feet high. though it Is neither as
wcighty nor MS strong as many birds
of smaller size. II has much the same
appearance rs the turkey huzzard.
Years ago the California buzzard was
quite plentiful, but poisoned meat in
tended for animals led to their ex-
tinction. 1t is for this reason that the
eggs of this bird are now more val
liable than those of the great awk.
There are Is perfect specimens of the
latter known. while only two eggs of
the California vulture are preserved.

VITALITY OF SEEDS.
Experiments Rt the Indiana station
Prove That Freezing Does
Not Affect IL.

In case seeds are well dried before
freezing weather sets in, common ex-
perience has shown that the vitality
is not destroyed by freezing weather.
This has been repeatedly shown in
corn from the crib of the experiment
station. Although exposed to all the
vicissitudes of our variable winters
we have frequently found that 95 to
100 per cent. of the corn would germi-
nate. The corn grown at this sta
ton is medium variety which ma
lures and dries out before severe
freezing weather begins. In case par
tally cured corn is sub ected TO severe
freezing the vitality of the germ is
injured and frequently destroyed. The
sad experience of many farmers at
tests the truth of this statement.
Careful, observant farmers have long
noted the i'll effects of freezing on par
tally cured corn, hence they gather
their seed corn early so that II may
become well dried out before setting in
of very cold weather. II is well known
that dry seeds will bear exposure to
low temperatures without losing the
power TO terminate. Whether such
low temperature Injuries the vitality
without entirely destroying il, is a
question | am not rs yet prepared TO
answer, The injury it amy. to dry
seeds from freezing Is nt least imper-
ceptible. There are those who be
lievc that the exposing of even dry
subsequently, seed corn-to a
freezing temperature, will injure the
vitality of the germ, but | do not re-
call any experimental tests thnt dem
onstrate this TO be true. For all prac-
teal purposes ii is quite sufficient for
the farmer TO know that il his seeds
are well cured before very cold wealth
er begins, he may expect them to re-
tain the power to germinate even
though exposed to severe freezing
weather. In many instances seeds
thus cured and exposed have been
found to terminate 100 per cent. and
with satisfactory degree of vitality

During his confinement he is visited at least
every two hours by non-commissioned Of

HOW ANTS MAKE SLAVES.
Enslavc the Small and Weak
err Species.

The warrior ant is a slave-making
species. 1t l. a large red kind. and it
makes raids against nests of the small
yellow turf ant. "A mild and docile race,
large numbers of which it carries oil
TO act as servants.
But it does not steal fully grown
turf ants; their habits are formed and
they would he useless for such pur-
pose. What the warrior ant wants is
raw material. which can be turned
into thoroughly well-trained servants
So il merely kills the adult ants which
strive TO oppose its aggression and
contents Itself with trundling home to
its own nest the larvae and pupae of
the turf ants which it has put TO flight
and vanquished.
In time these grubs and cocoons
produce full-grown yellow workers.
which can be taught by the warrior
ants to act MS nurses and housemaids.

qushed. Not till the nest OF the small
or ants was almost eXterminated did
they retire from the unequal contest
and allow the proud invader to carry
off their brothers and sisters in their
cocoons, asleep and unconscious. Oc-
casionally, by dint of mere numbers,
they beat of the invader with heavy
loss but much more often the large
and strong jawed warriors win the day
and destroy to worker the opposing
forces. They crush their adversaries'
heads with their viselike mandibles.
Meanwhile, within the nest. the other
half of the workers-the division told
off as special nurses-are otherwise
employed in defending and protect
ing the rising generation. At the first
alarm, at the first watchword passed
with waving antennae through the
nest; "a warrior host is attacking
us!" they hurry 10 the chambers
where the cocoons are stored and
bear them off in their mouths into
the recesses of the nest. the lowest

NEWS READINGS IN DAWSON.
An Enterprising Mnu who Made $500
by Reading TO the Miners
All About the Maine.

Claude Smith tells novel story
about the way the news of the blowing
up of the Maine was received in Dawson
City. An enterprising Yankee got hold
of the first copy of a newspaper con-
tanning the account. He made arrange
ments for getting the news abroad in
this businesslilke fashion, says the Port
land Oregonian.
Renting a vacant saloon building, he
caused bulletins to be issued giving an
inllling of the news that had been re-
ceived, most judiciously worded, and
announcing that the full account would
be read in public in the evening in thu
mammoth one-story log edifice next
the Blue Ruin dive on Birthstone street;
admission, two pennyweights of gold
ranging in value from $3.50 to $1.75.
At the appointed time the miners
gathered to hear the news, and 200 or
more OF them tossed their gold dust
into the doorkeeper's scales and crowd
ed inside. The reading was satisfac'
tory, il the news was not, and theye was
no grumbling about the investment.
No less than $500. and probably much
more, was realized from that idea. The
reader was liberal sort of chap, and
he read the other news in the paper
merely as a courtesy to the assembly.
This practice grew as the nation
neared war, and after the war began,
and it is a frequent occurrence for
public reading of important news to
he given in Dawson a so much per head
for admission. And the cooped-up men
pay for nothing more cheerfully than
for war news. Their liberality in this
matter is sometimes taken advantage
of, and stale stuff palmed off for news,
and even the Dawson City public is dis
eliminating in this particular, and is
strongly disposed to resent the swindle.

the tale of a sentimental burglar. He
entered house at night during the
