DOG BAROMETERS.
Sailors Place Implicit Reliance in
Their weather signs-Afraid
of storms.

Sailors generally show an inclination
for pets, but the dog is a valuable mem-
Der of the crew. He is considered as
trustworthy as a barometer in giving
notice of an approaching storm. Most
dogs are towards in storms. Occa-
sionally a captain finds q dog that is
not afraid of heavy weather, and seems
to enjoy the rolling or pitching Of the
ships; but as q rule dogs are as afraid
of gale as woman passenger, and at
the first sign of a storm hunt for a
hiding place.

woman as it was possible for an animal

WISE ANIMALS.

ing When They Get IRto
Trouble.

A naturalist found black ants were
devouring the skins of some bird speci-
mems on table, so he made tar circles
on four pieces Of paper and put one un-
der each leg Of the table. Ants will not
cross tar. Pretty soon he found the
ants busily at work again, and, looking
at the tar circles, found each one was
bridged by bits Of sand which the clever
ants had brought in from the street.
On one occasion, owing to excessive
heat, one of the combs of a beehive be-
came detached and was in great danger
of falling. The bees at once set to work
and eEected a snoring pHlar between
ths endangered comb and the one next
TO it. The pillar braced the comb and
kept II from falling. Then they rebuilt
the wax cells, fastening the comb to the
wall, and afterward removed the pillar.
A Capuchin monkey was given some
walnuts, which he tried to crack with
his teeth, but found he was not strong
enough. He then seized a stone which
was near by, held the nuts on the
ground with one hand and used his
stone hammer with the other, with ex-
cellent results. Other monkeys have
been seen 10 utilize nutpicks.

SAMOAN GIRLS.
Native Bellies Pick Their Pnrtl
Dresses, Nearly Ready Made
from the Trees.

Party gowns for Samoan girls grow
on the tropical trees and almost ready
to wear. When a native beauty Of
Samoa decides to go to a special enter
talnment she enters the forest to look
for her gala attire, The native IilSi,
or kilt, is the only addition to her or
binary costume that the Samoan girl
provides for special parties. The ma
terial Tor the lSiki grows on the Ii tree.
1t consists Of a ribbon Of bark a few
inches wide that is stripped from the
tree easily. While damp the bark, which
is very thin, Is crinkled 50 as to form
wavy outlines, and the ribbons are col
ored all sorts Of bright hues. The Sa-
moan girl then plaits a waistband from
the same kind Of bark and hangs the
ribbons on It. Handmade flowers OF
the same material are often added also
when the lsild is completed the duskS
belle puts It on over the scanty lava
lava, or waistcloth, and goes to the
dance or other entertainment. TE'
girls thus make their own party
dresses, and some OF them show grea'
taste and skill In fashioning the ode
garments.

STILL RULES THE WAVES.
Britannia owns Half the Tonnage
of tho World in ships and
UnoIe sam Il Next.

The old-time boast that britannia
rules the waves" was never more justi-
fed than it is to-day. Figures pub
nshed in Feilden's Magazine show that
the entire tonnage of the world in ships
amounts to round total OF 27,6T3, ,52s
tons. of which enormous aggregate
the United Kingdom and her colonies
own rather more than one-half, or, to
be precise, the immense and overshad-
owing proportion Of l3,9ss,50s.
Deducting from this latter total
1861 ,5s4 owned by the British colonies
throughout the world, the United
Kingdom possesses no less than 2,s26,.
924 tons. tits indeed a far cry from this
predominating tonnage to the second
biggest, which, it is hardly surprising
20 learn, is that of the United States OF
America, and which figures out to 2,4e5,-
3S7 tons.
Germany takes third place with ., 2,453,.
S34 tons, which thus follows closely
upon American heels. All probably but

Norway easily occupies the fourth

MONDAY. oCT. l6, 1888
The New York Sun has been harve

The New York Sun has been harvest
ing some very interesting figures and
important facts from the reports Of the
Department Of Agriculture. The Euro
pean estimates Of the worlds wheat
yield for 1899 indicate an important
decline from the production OF 1898.
All agree that the crop will be smaller
than that of last year, which was about
2,79S,0000O0 bushels. The estimated
diminution in yield is from 100000. 600
to 400, 100000 bushels, or roughly
speaking, an eighth of the crop OF 1898.
If this estimate is accurate, there must
certainly be high prices for the coming
year A comparison OF recent statis-
tics with those of ten years ago shows
that the demand for all the cereal crops
has increased in volume. This is due
partly to the constant growth in the
worlds population and partly to the
Increased use OF some of the grains.
Preparations Of oats for human food
for example, have been popularized
and have added considerably to the
consumption Of oats. The world on
an average calls for about 50O,0O0,O O0C
more bushels Of wheat, 100000. OOC
more Of rye, 15O,OOO,0Oo more Of barley
100000 more of oats and 6OO,0O0,00C
more of Indian corn than it called foi
ten years ago. The estimate OF this
years crop points to a deficit in all
these grains, which cannot be wholly
supplied by the stocks on hand. Franc,
is surpassed only by the United States
and Russia in the quantity of whsai
produced, and yet France imports
great amount of grain The reason Il
because France is the largest consumed
per capita, each inhabitant eating
about zoo pounds OF wheat a year, whil'
the rate OF consumption in Great Brit
ain and the United States is only abou
half as much England has TO impor
about two-thirds of the wheat she re
quires. and she takes more than hal
OF 1t in -four from our Western mills
As the largest grower Of cereals on
country has lessons to learn from tn
rapid increase in the demand for al
those grains which we are pre-eminent
ly able to produce. Il is noticeabl
fact that the two countries which es
port the most wheat raise a good de,
less 70 the acre than some Of the i'm
porting countries. Our average produC
ton to the acre is twelve to thirtee
bushels, that of Russia is ten bushels
while England raises about twenty
eight bushels on land that is not S
fertile as ours. We need better meth
DDS OF tillage, and one indication thS
they are coming into use is the IA,
that the era OF vast wheat farms in tn
West is passing away. With sma
homesteads better tillage will be pol
sible and more abundant crops win I

the government when 1t becomes in

what makes England great. That is
what makes England strong. She is
never weakened by internal disloyalty.
She has not to deal with kissing, snarl-
ing, lying internal miscreants who are
devoid Of patriotism ana are moved
only by party spleen All over Eng

patriotism is in evidence. Sir Thomas

THE BUTTERFLY.
Mother Uses the Down from Her Body
to Make n Nest for Her Young,
Then Dies.

There is something really pathetic
in the way a mother butterfly builds-a
nest for her children. In the first place
the little home where the eggs are de-
posted represents great deal of sac
rifce, for it is lined with several lay
ers Of soft down plucked from the
mothers own soft body. The eggs,
having been laid carefully upon this
luxurious, pretty couch, are protected
by an equally pretty coverlet made @ 7
the same material. These butterfly bed
clothes are often arranged with an in
tricacy that is quite curious and per-
picking. Sometimes bed is made so
that each separate delicate hair stands
upright, thus giving the entire nest the
appearance Of little brush Of downy
fur. Then again the eggs are laid
spiFally round a tiny branch, and as
the covering follows their course, the
effect resembles the bushy tail Of a
fox, only the nest is more beautiful
than the "brush" OF the finest fox that
ever roamed over country. The build.
ing Of this downy nest is the last earth
Is labor Of the mother butterfly, for
by the time il is completed her OWL
delicate body is denudeG of its natura
covering, and there is nothing left fol
her TO do but to die--a sacrifice whicl
she promptly and heroically makes il
the interest Of the coming butterfly
generation.
