QUEER WAYS or NATURE.
Where the Tortoise Is "a Barometer
and Flies Eat Spiders.


The tortoise is not an animal on,
would naturally fix upon as likely 10
be afraid of rain, but it is ~singularly
so Twenty-fcur hours or more before
rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes
for some convenient shelter. On q
bright, clear morning when not a cloud
is to be seen, the denizens of a tortoise
farm on the African coast may some
times be seen heading for the nearest
o~verhanging rocks. When that hap,
pens, the proprietor knows that rain
will come down during the day, and,
as a rule, it comes down in torrents.
The sign never fails. This pre-sensa-
ton, or whatever you may call it,
which exists in many birds and beasts
may be explained partly from the in
creasing weight of the atmosphere
when rain Is forming, partly by hab-
its of living and partly from the need
of moisture which Is shared by all.
If we want to find a country where
nature has turned things topsy turvy-
that is, according to our notion-we
must go to Australia. Many things are
reversed In that country. 1t is summer
there while 1t is winter in America.
Trees shed their bark instead of their
leaves; fruit has the stone, or kernel,
outside; swans are black; there is a
species Of fly that kills and eats the
spider, and a fish. called the climbing
perch. that walks deliberately out of
the water and. with the aid of It's fins,
climbs the adjacent trees after the in
sects that infest them. When to this
we add that most of the birds have no
song and the flowers 10 odors, it Is
easily seen that 1t Is on the other side
Of the world in more senses than one

SO the asscssors' man did it. There
WAS laEcntation in the store when the
tax Bill! showed the proprietor that he
was taxed on $1,000 personal, and he
rushed over to the assessors office with
Gll possible speed.
"Nat iss dis? Vat iss dis?" he asked
them, excitedly. 1T have no personal
