WISE WOODPEGKERs.
oVe They Drive worms from the Inside

How They Drive Worms from the inside
 of Tree.
 4 Chicago professor who has been .n the Maine woods this sumner tells an interesting story Of the intelligence of 2 family of woodpeekefs which he encountered near the ReaaWaters of the AIleg8sh, and which were most ancommonly bright birds. 8s every one knows who has observed these birds at all, they feed on the worms which burrow into trees Any worm Hleh a fair amount of activity can bore Q gallery three or four feet long in q tree in 9 single season. so to find his prey the woodpeeker# has to make sev- efa1 holes i'll the tree in order 10 get at his victim. This particular family af Woodpeekers, having some difficulty iu getting at the worms after they had drilled a hole into his gallery, proposed to save themselves unneces- sary work. And what do you think they did? In the Allegash woods grows the Indian poke, a plant with berries possessing an alkaline juice particularly disagreeaBle to all animal life. And so these A1legash wood- Pee&ers, having made an entrance into the domo of the borer, proceed next= to drop berries of the Indian poke into the opening. And so much does the worm dislike the odor of the poke berries that he comes out 10 get away from it, and incidentally to see who has had the impeftinenee to cause him so much discomfort. He never gets any further than the en- trance, because Mr. Woedpeeker is waiting there, and that worm is goh- bled up so quickly that he never knows what happened to him. This seems like a good deal of a fairy story, doesn't it? But Prof Eastman j. Clarke says hs saw it with his own eyes.

A Mile n NIinnte.

Sixty miles an hour is the merest commonplace to the mind of the up-to- date railroa6 man, but it means other things besides those described that are wonderful to the outsider. It means a steam pressure of twenty tons on each piston head every tenth of a second, It means that up in the cab the fire man is throwing into the furnace two- thirds of ton of coal every hour; one engine burns coal faster than ten men can mine it. It means two quarts of oil every hour to keep her journal box greased and everything running smoothly.

To soften her state of semi-isolation. as sell as because they are profitable, Ms Armour raises quite little farm yard stock. such as ducks, hens. goat aHd COW. The name of the COW Is fansy. Pansy arrived on Smiths is- land when only calf and consequently knows little of the outside world and It's devious ways From her infancy she had come in contact with hens and ducks and geese; she even rubbed skirts with goat, but one quadruped PsRsy had not seen was pig. When, therefore, last spring Mr Armour brought to Smiths island from the mainland fat little pig, its appear &Aee caused Pansy a good deal of sur prise .a5ld excited the farmyard gen eral,Es The little pig was not popular by 8ny means. AS for Pansy, she could not bear the sight of it. Bnffo (Which is the name of the little pig1 from the first manifested an intense affection for the COW. Pansy's heart gradually softened toward the poor little porker and finally, to parody Mary and her little lamb, every place that Pansy went the pig was sure to go. Although in time the other live stock came to assume an attitude of benevolent neutrality toward Buffo, the dog was an exception. He frequently ch2eed Buffo for it's dear life, but after awhile 9ansy interposed in it's behalf and when Hector pressed Buffo too closely would take the pig in her mouth and, lifting it high jn the air, keep 1t there out of harms way until the danger had passed. And now stress of circumstances has parted the loyal eomf4 ;. Mrs Armour, who is no longef young, finding that caring for COW with her other duties was too much for her, sold Iansy to farmer fer much less than her value. provided that she should not be given to the butcher. When Bufeo missed it's friend, which was very soon. it was inconsola- ble It's squeaIs of grief could be heard all over the island. It has since then refused it's food and grows thin ner each day. It is probable that Mrs. Armour will sell or give Buffo away to the same farmer; otherwise the days of the affeetionate little pig will have been numbered and grave will be dug somewhere on Smith $ island.

Inventor Declares It Will Remain an
 Air Week at a Time.
 The Swiss newspapers announce the forthcoming launch of a new airship oyer-not on- the Lake Of Constance, says the London News. It's inventor is Count yon Zeppelin, retired German officer, who has for many years studied the question of steering balloons. He now claims to have solved the prob. lem of the light motor, An saeHeplane built by him is reported to have deyel- oped sufficient power to tow boat on the River Inn at speed of nine miles an hour. To minimize the risks of an unforeseen fall the count has selected the Lake of Constance as the scene of bis decisive experiment. It's area of over 300 square miles will, he believes, be sufficient to enable him to execute all necessary evolutions. The vessel is 'moered' at Friedriehshafe1 and is supported by sixty poptoons. There is a=g8s works in the vicinity The in- Feator keeps the mechanism of his air ship secret and has taken stringent pre- cautions to warn eff the curious. Ali that is known is that the vessels pro- portions are immense-over t50 feet long and nearly fifty feet in diameter. t is cylindrical, with conical extremi- ties, and is divided internally by strong partitions. The ''hull@ is of silk, stretched over a skeleton of aluminium. The power is supplied by two motors. placed beneath the cylinder, one at each end The propelling principle is the ordinary screw. but there are three special devices for steering. Count VOL Zeppelin declares that his machine will be able to rise to a height of over 3, 900 feet, lift weight of nearly two tons, travel at a speed of ten yards a sec- 7'7d. ard ~e~1ril " T. N. fae

 verse Of Presence of BEfnd.s,
 No, said Walnut street physician, 7ft is not true that all automoBilists suffer from the complaint populariy known as tWrong-lever mania, for my practice lies largely among this class of people, and can say positively that not more than seven out of ten are ever attacked by the disease. It is a thing that comes on them in moments of. in tensF excitement, when a street is oYercroWded, when runaway is mak- ing directly for them, or when they are on the point of shooting over a preeipiee. Then, if ever, wrong lever mania-a silly name, though the com plaint is so new that we haven't yet had time to give it a good Greek or Latin title-then. I say, if ever they are liable to be attacked There are generaIlg-i may say always-in an automobile three levers, one to steer with, one to go fast with and the other to stop short And the victim, tke poor sufferer in this deadly crisis, for gets which is which in the matter of levers, decides to guess, and pulls, naturally, the wrong one. That is why. in an acute attack of wrong-lever mania. Mrs. Hermann Oelriehs, at Newport last summer, drove over a stone wall, up a flight of marble steps and through the stained glass windows of the music room of freind. It is why Alfred Vanderbilt went swiftly in an automobile phaeton down one of the cliffs backward into the sea, and it is why Henry Lehr, in a petroleum T. cart, completely demolished green house of glass. No, we have not yet found remedy for the disease .- Phila4elphia Record.

Then I went to my store, hot and excited, and there stood the bell boy, with my ring in his hand. He had recognized it as my property, and came over at once to deliver it.
