Electrical Incuhntion-

Since the Matching of an egg results
from the application of heat. it makes
little difference whether this heat Is
applied by the hen or by artificial
means. 1t is claimed for the artificial
method that the chicks can be pro-
duced so as to be ready at the time
when prices are best. Hence artificial
incubation has come into extensive
use, and as the most extensive appli-
cation of these machines is in agri-
cultural districts, where the kerosene
lamp is the standard of illumination,
it is not surprising that this same lamp
has come to be the standard source of
heat. About two years ago the writer
witnessed the destruction by fire of
the poultry houses connected with
large New York state institution, the
origin of the fire being directly trace
able to an incubator lamp, and it oc-
CURED to him that here was another
legitimate field for electricity in the
heating of incubators and brooders.
Since that time experiments have been
carried out, and with gratifying re-
sults.-Electrical World.

BIRD vENTRILOQUISTS. S.
Many birds have the gift of ven-
triloquism.

Many birds have the gift of ven-
triloquism.
The pinnated grouse, or prairie
chicken, has the power of ventrilo-
quism to remarkable degree, as it's
tone when produced but few rods
from the listener often has the effect
of sound originating nearly mile
distant.
Many of the ground birds have a
peculiar habit of throwing their
voices upward so that they appear
to come from the tree tops. Both
the blue-winged and Tennessee war
blers, which are strictly ground
birds, constantly do this. though the
best illustration is that exempli-
fed in the song of the winter wren.
The little bird known as the Mary
land yellow throat, which lives in
low, bushy swamps during the sum-
mer, shows considerable ability as
ventriloquist, and during the nesting
season makes use of the power as a
protection-though happarently an un-
necessary one. for the nest of this
species is generally so carefully hid
possible to find it. When a person
approaches the vicinity of its nest,
though probably within few feet
of the intruder. it will throw its
voice back and forth so realistically
that it is almost impossible to locate
the hird

When Grace Was Said.

A Barnard college girl tells in the
New York Times of visiting in house
hold where grace was said at the table
-semioccasionally. Her curiosity got
the better of her, and she asked the
mistress of the house why they didn't
observe. the rite regularly. why"
said the lady with some surprise, 1--WE
say grace only when we have reason to
be thankful. We never dream of CIV
ing thanks when We have only roast
beef or beefsteak, or some simple thing
like that. But whenever we have game
or something really nice then we say
grace, for it's worth while"
