pinions, lacking In and out like Il

he passed, and ut 10 yards his snowy
head and tail, broad. brown fans
showed to fine advantage. We could
See the polished yellow OF his hooked
hill and the fierce flash OF his marvel

II upon us and then back to his tireless
searching OF the water and the wave
line along shore.
For years this eagle. loary old beach
somber as lie Is, has patrolled the shore
daily for miles. seeking what the
waters have east up, for be 1t known
he Is not above accepting even carrion.
Many n dead fish and lost bird lie gets
for the trouble Of picking them up. but
he can hunt, too, when he feels SO dis
posed. Season after season he and his
mate have patched the old nest and
reared their eagles in peace.
No one can climb the tree, ana no
decent man would shoot at the birds.
Should you visit the foot OF the tree
your nose will be assailed by most
Objectionable odor, and your naturally
brief inspection will convince you that
the eagles do hunt more than they are
given credit for. Everywhere are frag-
ments of fish, while among them are
wings and tails which must have be-
longed to grouse, portions Of hares and
+, other fragments suspiciously like GER

would be held IN Vienna in 1873. To
this end an appropriation by the gov
eminent of $4,000 coo was made, and
later, as the work progressed, an addi-
tional appropriation Of $1,000, 900 more
was found necessary. Universal inter
est was shown in this great lIndertak-

Hose Water and Itain.

with barrels from the hydrant, and
they will at best simply hold their own.
Generally they wlrher in the long.
dry seasons and that without regard TO
the artificial wetting they may re-
ceive from the gardeners. But let a
little shower, however brief. fall upon
them, and they brighten vislbly.
The difference is that the rain brings

the vegetation needs. The rainwater
may be as like that In the lake as two
volumes of water can be, but when 1t

through the various stages of vapor
and liquid and has tumbled down
through that retort of the air, 1t has
become charged with elements that no
man can give IL, and the flower knows
and recognizes II, as the first field
flowers recognize 1t In the beginning.

Two HappY THOUGHTS.

From PARKWAY Ceylon comes funny
little story. A tea planter who had a
glass eye was DESTROYS of going away
for days shooting with friend, but
he knew that as soon as the natives
who were at work on the plantation
heard that he was gone they would not
do stroke OF work. How was he 10
get off? That was The question. After
much thought an idea struck him. Go
ing up TO the men he addressed them
thus: G9aa her
Although l myself will be absent,
yet | shall leave one of my eyes TO see
that you do your work" And much to
the surprise and bewilderment Of the
natives, he took out the glass eye and
placed 1t on the stump OF tree and
left. For some time the men worked
lndustriously; but at last one of them.

Curious but dangerous freaks Of ma
ture frequently found in the deserts Of
Arizona are called sumideros by the
Mexicans and Indians. They are mask
ed pitfalls Of quicksand that occur In
the dry plains and are covered with a
treacherous crust of clay that has been
spread over them in fine particles by
the wind and baked dry by the sun.
The peculiar properties OF the soil
retain all the moisture drained into
them after the infrequent rains and al
low 1t to be filtered to unknown depths,
so that man or Il horse or COW or u
sheep that once steps upon that de-
ceptiyc crust instantly sinks out OF
sight beyond hope OF rescue. The
sumderos are ON Il level with the sur
face of the desert. There IS no dan
ger signal TO mark them, and their
surface cannot be distinguished by the
ordinary eye from the hard clay that
surrounds them. They occur most fire.
quently in the alkali covered flats and
are often 10 or 20 feet In diameter.
Sometimes they are only little pockets
or wells that a man can leap across.
but the longest pole has never found
their bottom. A stone thrown through
the crust sinks To unknown depths,
and no man who ever fell into one OF
them was rescued. They account for
the mysterious disappearance of many
men and cattle.-Chicago Record.
