Blue jay Tree rlanrer..

An old time Arizona woodchopper
says the blue Jays have planted thou
sands Of the trees now growing all over
Arizona. He says these birds have
habit of burying small seed in the
ground with their beaks and that they
frequent pinyon trees and bury large
numbers Of the small pine nuts in the
ground. many Of which sprout and
grow. He was walking through the
pines with an eastern gentleman short
time ago when one Of these birds flew
from tree to the ground, stuck his
bill in the earth and quickly flew away.
When told what had happened. the
eastern man was skeptical but the two
went to the spot and with knife blade
dug out sound pine nut from depth
of about ~ inches. Thus it will be seen
that nature has plans of her own for
forest perpetuation.

AvERTED A TRAGEDY.
The Nerve Displayed by Daniel
O.Connel Mt a Critical Moment

The Nerve Displayed by Daniel
O'ConneN at Critical Moment.
Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish
agitator, had contempt for physical
danger. On a certain occasion meet
ing had been convened and a large
crowd assembled in room on The first
floor of building in a small ,ity in
Ireland.
O'Connell was about to address the
people when gentleman, pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
''Liberator, the floor is giving way!
The beams that shore it up are crack
ing. and we shall fall through in few
minutes"
Keep SILENT" said O'Connell Then,
raising his voice he addressed the as
sembly:
II find that the room is too small to
contain the number who desire to come
in. so we must. leave 1t and hold the
meeting outside the building"
At this few rose and went out. but
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
81 will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way, and we must leave
this room at once. If there is panic
and rush to the door, we shall all be
precipitated into the room below. but
if you obey my orders we shall be
saved. Let the u men nearest the door
go quietly out. then the next -, and SC
| on till all have gone. 1 shall be the
last to leave
His instructions We're obeyed to the
letter, and he waited, patient and
calm. till all had gone out in safety
Then he walked quietly across tile
sundering, cracking floor, reaching the
door just as the shattered beams gave
way. And thus, by the force of his
strong will, a terrible accident was
averted.-Exchange

A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance of Magic.


the Appearance of Magic.
No one would suppose that it is pos
sible to hold a glowing coal on a piece
Of linen or cotton without burning the
CLOTH but that such can be done is easy
for any one to prove, and at the same
time the experiment teaches an lmpor-
tant natural law. Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made of copper because that metal
is good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity, which is only another form of
heat. If a poker is heated in the fire.
you pick up cloth to hold the outer
end. although it has not been in the
fire. because experience has taught you
that the heat is connected through the
metal from the fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat. Take
globe of copper and draw piece Of
cloth tightly over it SO that there is
not wrinkle at the top. If the linen
or cotton is closely woven, the trick is
all the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly in place. you can safe
ly put glowing coal on top of the
cloth, and while it burns fiercely. the
cloth will not even be scorched.
The reason is that the great conduc-
tivity of the copper draws the heat Of
the coal before 1t can burn the cloth
Do not try this experiment with a
good handkerchief first, for if the cloth
's not tightly drawn it may burn, but
