One Of the many strange sights on
the plains of southern Africa is party
of Waiting ostriches. Their queer an
tics have been described thus:
"When there are a number of them,
they will start off in the morning and
after running few hundred yards will
stop, and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break leg The males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched on level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The bird appears at this time so absorb
cd in its occupation as to forget all that
is going on around him and can be ap-
preached and caught. The male alone
utters q cry, which sounds much like
an effort to speak with the mouth shut
tight"

MATES OF GREAT MEN.
The Wives of Both Disraeli and Gladstone
Were Brave.

The Wives of Both Disraeii and Gladstone
Were Brave.
Once when Gladstone was making an
outdoor speech it began to rain. Quietly
Mrs. Gladstone, with her sweet, moth
erly face, and who always accompanied
her husband, stood up, and, opening a
domestic looking umbrella of the Camp
species, held il over him. The spectacle
which the old couple presented there
standing together was so touching and
appealed so thoroughly to the good feel
ings of the crowd, because Of the strik-
ing picture Of Darby and Joan domes-
ITCHY, that when burly costermonger,
who had been loudest in his catcalls
and hooting of Mr.. Gladstone up to
that moment, suddenly shouted, "Three
cheers for the grand old womanr' every
one responded with a will.
Lady Beaconsfield showed similar de-
votion to Gladstone's great rival on
more than one occasion. She, too, was
devoted to her husband, and many old
parliamentarians recall the story of how
after having had her hand terribly
crushed in the carriage door while driv-
ing down to the house of parliament
with Disraeli she refrained from utter
ing a cry or from saying word about
her injury lest his mind should be divert
ed from the great and important speech
which he was to deliver that night. 1t
was not until he reached home and
found the doctor at her bedside that he
was made aware that she had sustained
any hurt. New York Herald.

Light and Artificial Fog.

The production of cloud by the action
of ultra violet light was demonstrated
at soiree at the Royal society by q. T..
r. Wilson. The beam from an arc lamp
was focused by quartz lens in tube
containing moist air free from dust. In
a few minutes blue fog was seen to
form in the illuminated cone, and this
fog could be made to move by applying
heat to the tube locally. When the ul-
ira violet rays were cut off by sheet of
mica, no such formation took place, and
1t is therefore suggested that the small
PARTICLES which give rise to the blue of
the sky are produced by the ultra violet
rays Of sunlight absorbed in the upper
layers of the atmosphere. Engineering.

The American Republic doesn't ex-

worthless they are. They should re-

are too poor to fill this office-we
must have rich man, some fellow

man need apply. Offices are for the

Discovery of the Home of Rnddha.

Far away on the border of Nepal the
home of Guatama Buddha has been dis
covered. Buddha lived about 500 B. c.
and was the son of the rajah of Kapila-
vastu. A pillar, inscribed by the EN-
peror Asoka in the third century B. O.,
marks the city's site. The ruins are all
of brick and are covered with jungle
and SO extensive that their exploration
will require years. The city was de-
stroyed during Buddha's lifetime. 1t
was mass of ruins in A. d. 410, when
the first Buddhist Chinese pilgrim made
his way there. The buildings that are
now being excavated are older than any

CRY FIRE FIGHTERS.


ms human Lives.
A great tenement house was burning
like finder wood in one Of the poorest
quarters Of the metropolis. The stairs
had gone up in smoke before everybody
had left the building, and even the fire
escape down the outside of the building
was cut OFF by the hot flames from the
lower windows, which had already
peeled off part Of it. A young girl Of
IL or 10 was frantioally shrieking for
help in one Of the top windows, and a
mother was wringing her hands in pitt
full despair down in the street.
The chief called for volunteers TO
save the girl, and three men came for
ward ON the instant, without hesitation
and without awaiting to count their
chances for success. This is the custom
in such cases, for no one would take the
responsibility of ordering fireman TO
his possible death.
A strong young fellow who had yet
10 win his spurs was selected for the
task, and he disappeared quickly
through the doorway Of the adjoining
building. When next the crowd saw
him he appeared at the window just
under the roof, and, grasping the tin
cornioe Of the burning building next to
him, he swung out into the air and
made his way, hand over hand, for 80
feet through the dense smoke that rose
in black clouds from the lower windows
to the sill where the girl was eeen.
She had fallen back into the room
unconscious and was overcome with

through the temple gates and to make
his way to the tomb of the saint. The
guardian gave him the customary form
