raetics of birds in stormy weather.


During tremendous wind storms
birds may sometimes be seen flying
overhead at a great altitude. When
this phenomenon is observed 1t may
be taken for granted that the upper
atmosphere is comparatively quiet and
that the disturbance is confined chiefly
to the lower regions.
When a heavy wind or gale springs
up, says Pearson's Weekly, the gulls,
terms and petrels will fly to and fro
over the waters surface, rising and
falling, and uttering their peculiar
cries of warning. If the storm extends
too high up they will drift gradually
with the wind, or fly away on the edge
Of the hurricane.
A young herring gull, a petrol or q
tern thus surprised will beat up
against the wind with powerful flight.
1t will rise high in the air facing the
gale and making a little progress
forward as well as upward Then ii
will descend with rapid fight toward
one side of the storm swept path, but
falling off at the same time in the di.
rection of the blowing wind. Once
more it will sweep around and face
the storm, ascending heavcnward and
strlkingly desperately out toward tho
direction of the storm, BY pursuing
these tactics the bird will gradually
work itself to one side Of the STORM
centre.

DEVICE TO BURN GARBAGE.

A novel as well as economical device
Cor burning waste paper and com0usu
BILE refuse that accumulates about
houses, Offices, stores, fiat buildings
and premises has been invented by
Cticagoans. It is called the refuse
burner and is constructed and operat'
ed on the draught principle. The
simplicity of the device, together with
the moderate cost, accentuate its use-
fulness.
There are two sizes Of the boxes, OF
cans. One is adapted to fiat buildings,
where it is set up in the cellar or base
ment, as shown in the cut. The other
Is smaller and is made to take the
lace of the garbage can and may sit
anywhere about the premises, where
not inconvenient, to receive deposits
Of combustible refuse. When the boxes
are filled with paper and the like, the
contents are ignited from underneath
and burned with quickness and with
cut smoke. Flues IN the interior and
running lengthwise Of the box OF
burner admit the air fl ON the bottom
and this air creates blaze so intense
that the refuse and smoke are entirely
consumed.
The inventors have tested the device
before large number of persons IL
Chicago with successful results. These
tests show that the burner will destroy
three-fourths of all garbage that &C
crmulates about a house or building
Rld at a nominal cost. 1t answers the

Over 1900 textbook and aliases of
the dominion Of Canada have been
supplied to rural schools in Eng

dian high commissioner. The Cana

encourage the study of the history,
geography and resources of Canada in
the schools of the United Kingdom and
therefore offered about four weeks ago
to supply any rural schOolmaster with
as many specially prepared textbooks
as he had scholars. Schoolmasters all
over the country took up the idea with
enthusiasm and one and all agreed
that from an imperial point of view
nothing but good results can follow.

Perhaps one Of the neatest and
pluckiest acts done in the South AZ
rican war was that performed by Cap
tain Lambart when he entered Klerks-
dorp, the original capital Of the Trans
vaal, and induced a general and 900
to lay down their arms to him. He
was entirely unarmed and unprotected
and arrived with only a stock and a
smile to take the town. After lengthy
negotiation he, by consummate tact,
persuaded the commandant and the
landrost to surrender, which they did.
He was inundated with letters Of con-
