Eenthered Experiment0rs.

When the telegraph was introduced
into Norway the bears, on hearing the
wires moaning i'll the wind, thought
that the posts were beehives, and set
to work to root them out of the
ground; the woodpeckers thought that
the poles were filed with insects, and
they bored holes in them with their
bills. Such illusions disappeared
gradually; animals became wiser with
time. and took the trouble to turn the
telegraph to account for their personal
uses.
Thus, small bird in Natal, which
had been wont to build it's nest shaped
like cradel in the branches of trees.
built its nest on the first telegraph
wires set up, and the snakes could not
get at it. The new position was found
to be so secure that the bird added a
convenient little side door to the nest.
which had hitherto possessed only
small opening on the side farthest re-
moved from the overhanging branch.
A Brazilian bird also builds its
heavy Lest of earth on the telegraph
wires. The artful parrots take
seeming delight i'll uniting the currents
between different wires, and also in
breaking the porcelain cups on which
the wires rest. Spiders cover the
wires with their webs, and thereby
great confusion is wroughtin the etele-
graph system, rs the most unlikely
connections are thus brought about.

Truth md Fable About tho Camel.

There are many fables told about
the camel. Riding him is supposed
to make people seasick. He has the
reputation OF being very vicious. Ee
is supposed to have several stomachs,
and to 20 for several weeks without
water as q matter of choice. I can
onlY say that in nearly four years of
experience have never met with q
case of seasickness or heard of it;
neither have I known really vicious
camel, except when they are in q state
called by the Arabs ''saim," which
means fasting" and corresponds to
the "rutting" periods in stays. AS
regards the cameps stomach, 1 believe
it is identically the same as that of
any other ruminant, or that, at any
rate, there is no formation of stomachs
which would enable him to do with
out water. :,
His abstinence is merely the result
of training, and it is fallacy to sup
pose that he is better without water
OF Cuu WOrh dS Noii. 1A VIZ S>ASN
corps we watered our camels every
second day in the summer, every
third day in the winter, giving them
their fill of water morning and even
ing on those days, but if in the sum-
mer we expected long desert march
without water, We trained them be-
forehand by only watering every third
day. But I never found that this i'm
proved their condition. The Arabs
keep their camels longer without
water, it is true, but then they travel
slower, and their animals are grazed
on soft food, containing a certain
amount of moisture. This lowers
their condition and makes them in
ferior to a corn-fed camel when hard
work and long, fast journeys have to
be done.
We always found that if we put q
grass-fed Arab camel alongside of ours
it failed in work and endurance. II

moaning of thirsty camels. .--Cornhill

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

No action of love was ever in vain.
A trust is no honor till the trustee
honors it.
The personal ideal is the only pow.
erful one.
He who takes the pains will take
the prizes.
Restitution is the right hand of
repentance.
The best things are not always in
the beaten tracks.
A man with an aim, will soon be a
man with q name.
Justice is not made for the law, but
the law for justice.
Idealizing the lowly, really helps to
realize the lofty ideal.
Selfshness is the substance of sin
and SORROW its shadow.
Only toy boats are disturbed by
every wavelet of change.
The great mans greatest discovery
is the greatness in other men.
The hearts reservations are the linn
itations of the life's usefulness.
There is o good deal OF difference
between giving up and giving out.
Advertising other peoples faults, is
kind of advertising that does not
pay.

The Uncertainty of Fishing

Fishing is notoriously an Uncertain

will visit every part Of these shores
and those Of Labrador in their count
less shoals. The next season certain
BAYS or even q whole shore will be al
most deserted. The herring are espe-
cially tickle, and there are places that
were once good herring grounds that
have scarcely seen a herring for many
years. All sorts Of theories are ad-
yanced to account for this, some Of
them ridiculous enough. But the fact
remains, and when the fish fail to
turn up in numbers at the accustomed
place destitution follows. From a very
early period the Government has
granted relief in such cases. 1t is far
easier to start dollng out public funds
than to stop, and it has now become
a regular affair. The effect of such
doles may readily be imagined. The

minded soon accept the philosophy
that they have as much right to get

/, ,v,,o > Cable With Locomotive q

A locomotive cable layer was en-
ployed recently in relaying the tele-
graph cable connecting Randalrs and
Wards Islands with the Bronx dis
trict in New York L.iy. The distance
across Bronx Kills was 600 feet and
the new cable weighed about three
tons. The method pursued was as
follows: The cable was stretched
across Randalls Island in the line OF
crossing and 1000 leet Of 1h inch
rope was attached to it and led to
powerful freight locomotive, stationed
on the track running across st. Ann
avenue, and this rope was passed over
a snatch block, placed on the line.
When all was ready the locomotive
moved off and the cable was pulled
across in II minutes 33 seconds,
though the strain on the rope was
considerable Us the cable pushed
through the muddy river bed.-Engi.

Dewey After the Manila Bay Battle.

Admiral Dewey in conversation
with some friends, told an interesting
chapter in his Manila experiences
after he had destroyed the Spanish
fleet. The battle itself he declared,
was nothing, but it was after the bat
tie had been fought and Spain's power
on the seq destroyed, that his troubles
commenced.
"There were at that time" he said,
"thirteen ships of all nations In the
bay, all of them, with the exception
of the British, unfriendly, all of them
oficered by experienced men, all Of
them watching for the slightest mis-
take that we might make.
''The situation was full of compiled
tions. There were any number of
delicate questions coming up to be
decided, questions which ought to
have been decided by lawyer we'll
versed in international law, and not
sailor who know only such law as had
been able to pick up, and whose law
library was extremely limited.
"The situation at one time was such
that it took almost the entire time OF
two officers 10 search the books to see
what we might do and what we were
not allowed to do. Why" said the
admiral, with an expressive gesture.
"a good lawyer at that time, man
familiar with international law, would
have been worth his weight in gold
and diamonds and rubies.
"And probably, if yor had had
LAWYER on your staff" said one of his
audience, '.he would have made any
amount of trouble for you and the
government, which you avoided be-
cause you have made common sense

She had noticed that men would
stare at her. 1t wasn't exactly her
fault; beauty in o woman could hardly
be called fault, but the open admi-
ration of men annoyed her, just bit.
The strong wind had blown on her
cheeks the hue of the red rose that is
full blown, and men looked after her
with, a OBTAINING expression that
seemed to say, "Hi, there, miss, you
have dropped a flower" Of course
she hadn't, but it seemed so natural to
think she had.

the cry next tumbled over, and before
I ed time to 'oller out and tell 'em it
was all right the other two seamen
and the boy was bobbing about in
the water.
'By this time the gal 'ad got to me,
and we was each of us 'anging to a
buoy. Away in the wake of the barque
we could see seven 'eads a-bobbing
about, and one by one they they came
up to us and collared old of buoy,

baraue was standing away under full

'Nobody answered, and then e
looked round agen and counted US all

e counted US twice, and then he
swore agen.

Don't you see that there isn't man

like flock OF fools while she drifts

wanted the skipper to report us to the
authorities as picnic party as 'ad

Liza Jane 'ad stood out to sea and
went down in squall somewhere in
