flakes are finches, and eat all sorts of
seeds and fruits, with such small ground
keeping insects as fall to their lot in sum
mer Like the longspurs, which are their
cousins but less white, they wander in
locks over the tundras and shore-plains,
always preferring the coast to the interior.
From such places the ice, frightful winds,
and deepening SHOWS of November grad
ual.y arive them away, but they go no
farther than they are compelled to go, and
sometimes are uncommon in midwinter,
even at Lake Superior, while it is only
rare intervals that they appear in any con-
siderable numbers in the Central United
States This may mean, to be sure, thai
the crop of seeds in the North is small;
but all kinds of seed are not apt to fall
the same year. so that the better eXplana
ton is that at such times an extraordinary
snowfall has buried their larders along the
Saskatchewan, in Keewaydin, or Labra

Knowing hese facts, It is a fair predic
ton when we see Northern birds throng-

that the United States will feel the chill
influence from beyond it's borders, and that
we shall have a snowy and probably cod

TIBErAN DEATH DANCES.
ceremony of the sacrifical Body o.
the Dead Year"

tAAt open CCuANs
Very strange performances are the
disturbances of the Tibetan mystery
plays, one of which is performed on the
last three days of the years, and is called
the ceremony of the sacriicial body of
the dead year" The effigy of a man
made out of dough, as life-like as possible,
and having inside a distinct heart and all
the entrails filled with red fluid, is placed
on four cemetery ghouls in sight of the
numerous spectators in the center of the
yard, and at once hands of skeletOn-ghosts
rush upon the corpse and attack it. This
is the time to display the necromantc
power of Lamaism over the evil spirits.
Monks and lamas come forth and so
through a series of ceremonies, the magic
effect of which keeps the tiends away.
But a formidable devil, with great horns
and possessed OF superior powers, makes
h s appearance and takes the field. Where
upon saint or an incarnation OF Buddha
himself comes 10 the rescue, sprays -four
on the enemy, makes mystic signs ana vi
ters nominations. The skeleton ghosts
and the big fiend erovel before him and
implore mercy. He graciously yields to
their applications, and allows them 70
partake OF a sacramental meal. While
they kneel before him he gives TO each
one of them a little -four to eat and a
drink out of vessel of holy water.
This concludes the days performance.
The corpse however, is not destined 10
be preserved. On the next day the night
is renewed and. after a cannonade with
blessed muster seed and other eNorcisms,
an awful demon appears, whose title IS
the Holy King of Religion He wears
the head of a bull, a dagger 10 the rlght
and the effigy OF human heart i'll the
left hand This strange figure seems TO
represent the main dety of the ancient
Fibetsns when they were still in the habit
of Offering human sacrifices, not in etfSN,
but in reality The demon god has been
converted ny Buddha and becomes pro
tecior of Buddhism. He is now Satlsned
with human sacrifices in effigy, and the
nnau made of dough, being supposed to be
an enemy of Thibet, is surrendered to him
He dances round the figure of the man on
the ground, stabs him. binds his feet in a
snare, and at last cuts Off his limbs, SITS
open his breast takes out his bleeding
heart lungs and other intestines. AT TINS
moment horde of monsters falls upon the
remnants of the dismembered dough-man
and scatters them in all directions The
pieces are collected again in silver basin
and the Holy King Of Religion, eating a
morsel. throws them up in the air. This Is
the signal for the finale; the pieces are
caught and fought for by the demons
and at last the crowd of spectators joins
the general scramble for pieces of dough-
representing human flesh, which they
either eat or treasure up as tahsmans'

WHERE PELICANs GATHER.
Sardbar In the Missouri where the
Birds Meet Every Year.
From the st. Louis Republic.


From the st. Louis Republic.
Pelican Bend in the Missouri river near
ST. Charles, Mo-, is the scene of great
annual gathering of pelicans. There is a
big fat bar in the river there which has
endured far beyond the usual span of a
bars existence in the treacherous, shift
ing current of the Missouri. This bar is
che semi-annual stopping place of vast
doczs of pelicans that migrate from South
to North in the spring and from North TO
South in the fall.
Persons who have observed their habits
claim that they invariably arrive at Peli-
can Bend on Sept. and remain until cold
weather sends them South.
The pelican Is not an attractive bird He
offends both the eye and the nose. But he
is commercially regular in his habits. The
parent birds catch fish aud after eating
their fill deposit the others in their pouches
under their bills and carry them to their
young. These pouches will hold from three
to eight pounds of fish. They are elastic
and when distended to their utmost nearly
touch the ground. When empty the pouch
lies close up under the big bill and is mere
" a mass of wrinkles. 1t is this pouch
that gives the pelican his Characteristic
and disagreeable odor caused by particles
of decaying fish.
The pelican's legs are short and strong
and its feet have large webs. 1t is not a
fast swimmer nor a rapid flyer, but it is
practically iireless in both air and water
On land it is awkward and unwieldly Its
feathers are pure white, except for fluffy
tuft of brown plumage that is seen on the
top of the head for about six weeks in
the early summer. This tuft disappears in
August and leaves pimply bald pate that
is not pleasant to view. At first the skin
is red, then pink, then a straw color. BY
Nov. 1 the skin on the head hardens into
a horny crest, which grows as the winter
progresses until by the time the bird ar
rives at its breeding place in the North
west it is so prominent that 1t is called
the center board because of its resem-
blance TO the center board of a sailboat.
When properly cured the pelican skins
and plumage are largely used in women's
garments and hats.

JAPANESE wREsTLERs.
Their Physical Development i'm the
Light of Some Statistics.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
Although the American is wiling to
concedc 10 the japanese the possession Of a
mental activity almost, IL not quite. equal
ing that of the majority OF white races.
he is APT to form somewhat sighting
opinion Of him as viewed from a physical
standpoint. The specimens met with In this
country do not convey a favorable impress
sion OF their athletic powers. After, how
ever, reading an account of the physical
measurements of some OF the most PROM
inent JaTan wrestlers, a more respect
fui attitude regarding the muscular dcvel-
opment of these little men will probably
be taken. The Jill Sh'mpo has recently
published a table giving the mea suremonts
of six Of the foremost Japanese fighters.
From this table, it is gathered that the
most bulky OF these modern gladiators
weighs al the age of % years about 800
pounds; hight 552 feet girth of chest, %
inches; lung capacity, 4 $50 cubic cen inie-
tres; upper ann, IS inches Another one
weighs over $50 pounds; hight, 5 inches:
giTth Of chest, IS inches lung capacity, s.
900 cubic centmetres; upper arm, IS
laches The smallest of these fighting men
weighs more than 200 pounds, measures in
night feet inches, while in lung capacity
he exceeds them all. There are few wrest-
lets or pugilsts in this or any other corn-
