A man in Georgia some time ago
caught some sparrows and trained
them so that he can open their cage
and they will fly back again without
any other inducement than the love OF
their home. This trainer watched the
birds carefully and made up his mind
that spaToNs could be trained to do
the work Of carrier pigeons and that,
as they were smaller, they would he
more valuable In ease of war. He give
one of his sparrows TO friend who
was going distance of 100 miles and
told him to free the bird when he had
reached the end of his journey and at
the same time to telegraph him when
he did so. The bird reached home and

Recent observations with the seismo-
graph at Maurtus have led to the
suggestion that not only the ocean and
the atmosphere, but even the land, NAV
experience the effects of daily tide
running round and round the eartl Ms
1t revolves on its axis. But while the
tides in the air and the sea are due
more to the moon than to the sun. the
supposed land tide arises solely
from the suns action. Moreover, 1t Is
caused not by the attraction of the
sun, but by its heat. A wave of de
preston is supposed to follow the sun
from east to west, caused by the ex-
traction of moisture from the soil. At
Mauritius 1t Is found that thore is n
relative upheaval Of the land to the
west of the place Of observation from
morning until evening and relative
depression on the same side or an up
heaval to the east during the night.
