1t seems almost stretch of the i'm.
sgination to think of rabbits climbing
trees Yet in Australia many rabbits
have somehow acquired the trce-climb.
ing habit, having been forced, on &C.
count OF the prosecutions of dogs and
other animals, to drop burrowing and
initiate squirrels.
An Australian sent on to England re-
Gently the two front feet Of a rabbit
that had been killed on an acacia, three
yards from the ground, and he wrote in
his letter that this was not at all re.
markable thing, and he had often found
them, or at least the traces Of their
claws, on the bark of trees four, five
and six yards high.
For parrot to eat sheep Is another
remarkable thing, and yet the kea Of
New Zealand has become sheep eater
having changed to this article of food
from purely vegetable diet.
The tradition Of the island is that al
one time these parrots were unable To
obtain their usual supply Of vegetable
food and that in desperation they in
vaded the drying rooms" and ate
whatever came to hand, finding sheer
meat agreeable.
In Iceland almost all the horses arc
hsh eaters, for the reason that grain is
scarce there and fish is plentiful.
In England sheep are known who de-
light in snails. The observation of this
fact is not new; it dates back one hun
dred and fifty years.
1t is well known that large number
OF insectivorous birds become grain
eaters whenever they find that they
cannot procure their ordinary diet o,

Atlanta Exposition.
According to a story which comes up
from Capt. Hal Tabb Walker, n promi-
nent planter Of Georgia and resident
Of Atlanta, there is much need of on
lightenment in the southern portion of
the state. 1t seems that a man living
in that section was sent on some mis-
sion up to Atlanta during the month Of
July last. While there he saw and was
much interested in the making Of arti-
| fetal ice.
Returning home he told Of this to his
friends, and for all the fact that he is
good church member and up to that
time had been highly respected citi-
zen OF the community, he was at once
looked upon with suspicion. The feel
| ing ran so high against him for telling
and persisting in telling that men, COM
mon mortals, were making ice in the
hot month of July, something they de-
| clared the Lord could not do, that he
was threatened with expulsion from
the church.
He did his best to defend himself,
and at last suggested that delegation

go with him to Atlanta. where, he as.
serted, he would prove his statement to
their entire satisfaction. The elders
willing to give him chance, did select
a committee, which with the accused
proceeded to Atlanta, and there, OF
course, they saw that their brother was
right and that men, common mortals,
did make ice in July.
They all returned home and as quick
ly as possible meeting was called &c
hear the report. When the elders heard
the delegation declare, as had the
brother before it, that ice was really
made in Atlanta in July they arose in
their wrath and churched the whole
lot OF them.
