AN OLD MAP OF PALESTINE.
Valuable Find Made tn the Br,t.ah
 NIuasum

Museum.
 map that is destined to prove of practical benefit to Bible students and scholars generally was recently dis covered hidden in the midst of lot of musty manuscripts found in the British museum. The map shows plan of Jerusalem made in the seventh century and contains as well the loea- tion of every important place in Pales- tlne The drawings were made by Marlno Sanudo, the elder, a Venetian nobleman who made five journeys to the holy land to perfect his design. His aim was to arouse the Christians of Europe to the importance of Palestine and to urge them to another crusade against the Moslem invaders who had captured Jerusalem In 636, under the command of khaiif Omar The old map is carefully drawn to correspond to some scale of measurement which the discoverers have not yet been able to determine. Palestine is di- Y1ded into eighty-ene equal spaces in length and twenty-three in width. Many of the identifieations of the his tofie spots of sacred and profane his tory, the scenes of various battles and the tombs of the prophets and kings. for instance, are better placed in the Italian map than in more modern plans of the holy land The map, of course, is some hundreds of years re- moved from the actual time of the Sa- vior's life upon earth, but fl is nearer tke destruction of Jerusalem by some LOO years than the world of today. Even the latest books issued on Pales- tine have very vague knowledge of the actual sites of the holy places. so that the map of the old Italian is destined to furnish light for a subject that is seen at present only through a glass darlIY.

Young Birds of Different Ages Found

Young Birds of Different Ages Found
 h One Nest.
 Early in April of last year the cap tain of the steamer Roseada. plying on the Kissimmee river, reported the dis eoyery of a white owls nest which was in a hole of a leaning dead cab haze palm, oYerbanging the river, says Forest and Stream Twice . week on his trip up and down he watched the growth of the birds, until he consid- cred tbom old enough to move He chen transferred them from the nest te ! box. under serious protest from the parent birds. The birds proved to be sReeiments of the barn owl. and great vas the surprise 10 see the tbree owls of three different sizes and evidently considerable differences in their ages. From inquiry it is learned that these birds. after matching the first egg. lay another, whose matching is left to be done by the young bird while it feath- CTS, thus explaining why the binds in the different stase5 of development were found in the same nest and ex- plaiHing. too, the responsibility tha1 the oldest bird seemed to have OCT the younger ones much as the older child watches over the younger ones of a family The oldest owl was al most mamrea- in faIl feather-its large black eyes. almost human in ex- pression. being well set off by the snow-White face. The p1umage on the back was a golden brown, the rest of the body streaked with white The second bird in size was an ashy, dull white; he was covered with down the down on his face giving him vicious expression entirely different from the osQest bird. The baby of the nest was scarcely half the size of the oldest bird. had a sharp narrow and long face. with weazened, m0nkeylike expression but he was snow=White, looking like a ball of wool He eud- 3led under the larger birds and at taeding time was the most ragenous eater of the crowd. All day long these three little owls quietly sat, making no sound except when ap- proached when sharp snapping of their peaks announced that they wished no intruders. TO turn them out of their box in daytime meant a quick return to it. Thev were turned out one day for visitor to admire, and the box removed, when they quietly sought refuge under the tolds of her dress skirt. Al night they were in their clement when turned loose; they walked around Tapped their wings. would come up and take food from the hand and drink water from a spoon placed between their beaks with as much ease as person possibly could. After eating to their satisfac- tion, they would return to the box and there sit for an hour, peering out, sWaying their bodies backward and forward as if rocking themselves to sleep. The pleasure and the study de- rived from observing these young owls scarcely compensated for the sorrow caused around the old palm tree. For several trips, as the Roseada passed up and down the river, the old owls fol- lowed the boat. darting at it and cry ing for the loss of their young, their mournful tones coming to the crew on the still nights like some haunting spirit

rha whlaaline Tree

The "whistIing tree" is so called from the wind in it's branches making a sound like a flute. It is the "tsofar" of South Nubia, and yields the gum of senaar. Dr sehweinfurth has shown that the sound is caused by holes bored ia the spines of the branches by an Iasect in order to suck the gum. The pines. in fact. become little flutes.

HoAxED A WORLD.
Andres Reported Death the Joke of 8
 Russian Physieian.

Andres Reported Death the Joke of
 Russian Physician.
 If the statement made recently by St. Petersburg journal is true. the re- port that Andre and his two compan- ions had been found iii a cabin near Krasnoiarsk is the result of a huge joke It is more than probable, since the investigations set on foot by the Russian government have revealed nothing, that the ill-fated explorer never reached the shore of northern Asia; it is even possible that he is yet alive The story given out is that certain Siberian mine-oWner, who lived in the wilds of the steppe, wished to deeCy oul for q brief visit a dear friend of his. physician of Krasnoiarsk. He therefore wrote to him that Andre and his two companions had come down on dis mine, and that although they wished to keep their presence secret for few weeks, the learned doctor might enjoy their conversation until such time as they should choose to reveal their presence, and then share the honor of their discoveries. The physician, however. smelt the mouse and replied by the next mail that Andre and his two companions could not have come to the mine-owner's house. since their bodies had been found in an old cabin near Krasno- iarsk. Then followed the description of their supposed death the details of which. in almost identical words Of the physician, the Russian govern ment caused to be cabled over the world. For some reason the mail de- teetiyes, who open every letter either way, failed to catch the first Andre statement, but did open the report that he had been found by the Toun- gous. Such, at least, is the version current in the capital of the all-om- nipotent czar. It Is possible, however. that both stories. that of Andres death, and then this explanation of it. originated in the brain of some fertile spaee-wrter. Unless, indeed, the Rus sian newspapers are different from those of the rest of the world.

 AdaptIbIIItY { of One Bat.

Let's take a look at our unWelcome guest. the rat Does he reasonz Pm sure he does. Laying aside the more or less probable yarns about his get ting moIasses from a jug W.th his tail and other stories. here are some facts. Modern builders and householders have fought the rat and tried 10 de- prive him of food and shelter in th2 land where he was born and where he may consider that he has some rights to life liberty. and the pursuit of hap piness.
 They have put Instructions in the way of the rat that might have dis couraged our feeble native black fel- low, who was driven 10 the wilderness years ago by the formidable brown Norway. rat. which is now a resident in every land where ships go. He is Che "6ttest, and he fit all other rats out of business. He is sagacious and can reason: Q living example Of physical courage and brain power. He knows no instinctive routine life, such as a bee leads and rats rise superior to their environment at any time when the environment proves to be a misdt, says a writer in Forest and Stream.
 The brown rat, like the old sailor has adapted himself to steel ships and is at home in them, but it is in the cities that he gets in his fine work on gas fittings. lead pipe, cement floors, and brick drains He cheWs cement floors in the weakest places and taps lead pipe for water. Sewer rats have achieved a reputation on parallel lines with sanitary plumbing, and uR- der the New York end of the Brook- lyn bridge rats are earning frigid living in the cold storage warehouses and sharpening their teeth on frozen fish and game where a mans breath will turn to snow on summers day. He is enough of a philosopher to take life as he finds it: he is a genuine man of the world
 As the burglar keeps abreast of the safemaker, so the intelligent rat steps to the march of civilization and cold storage This is not 'jnstinet;' it js the result of thought and thought i'm plies reason.
