feeds upon other plants, and is said to
prefer oats TO corn.

Several pai-s Of pigeons which a sci
enlist has observed in Paris have rails
ed their young in nests made entirely
of hairpins collected on the paths Of
the Luxembourg.
The largest nest in the world is built
by the mound bird, a sort Of Austria
liam fowl. 1t makes mounds some
times 100 feet In circumference, in
which 1t buries its eggs five feet deep.
The heaviest bird that flies is the
great bustard. In size ii exceeds the
Norwegian blackjack. The old males
weigh about 80 pounds. but when food
is plentiful the young males may
weigh 40 pounds. Great bustards were
formerly as plentiful In western
Europe as partridges. Now they are
rarely found.

Unknown Canada.

One-thlrd of the area of Canada is
practically unknown. There are more
than 100000 square miles of unex-
plored lands in Canada. The entire
area of the Dominion is computed AT
3,450.25I square miles; consequently
onethird of this country has yet been
untrayeled by the explorer. Exclusive
of the inhospitable detached arctic por-
tons, $4,000 square miles are for all
practical purposes entirely unknown.
Most of this unknown area is dis
tributed in the western half of the Do
minion in unprecedented blocks of from
5000 to 100000 square miles-that is,
areas as large as the states of Ohio,
Kansas or New England are yet a
secret to white man.-National Geo

HOTTEST PLACEtON EARTH
1t II Dnhreln, on the Southwestern
Coast of Persia.

The hottest region on the earth's sur
face is on the southwestern coast of
Persia, on the border of the Persian
gulf For 40 consecutive days in the
months of July and August the mer-
curry has been known to stand above
100 degrees in the shade night and day
md to run up as high as 1870 degrees
In the middle of the afternoon.
| AT Bahrein In the center Of the most
torrid belt, as though it were natures
Intention to make the place as unbear-
able as possible, water from wells Is
something unknown. Great shafts have
been sunk to depth of 100, 200, 800
and even 500 feet, but always with the
same result-no water This serious
drawback Notwithstanding, a compare
lively numerous population contrives
to live there, thanks to copious springs
which burst forth from the bottom of
the gulf more than u mile from the
shore.
The water from these springs Is OBJ
tanned In most curious and novel
manner. "Machadores" divers, whose
sole occupation is that Of furnishing
the people of Bahrein with the life CIV
ing fluid, repair to that portion of the
gulf where the springs are situated and
bring away with them hundreds of
bags full of the water each day. The
water Of the gulf where the springs
burst forth is nearly 200 feet deep, but
these machadores manage to fill their
goatskin sacks by diving to the bottom
and holding the mouths Of the bags
over the fountain jets-this, too, with
out allowing the salt water Of the gulf
to mix with it.
The source Of these submarine foun-
talns IS thought to be in the hills Of |
0smond 400 and 500 miles away. Be-
ng situated at the bottom of the gulf,
t is a mystery how they were ever
discovered. but the fact remains that
hey have been known since the dawn
# history.
