second yell Mr.. Bowser sat up with
look OF wonder on his face, and at the
third he rose from the lounge and e1-

Mr.. Bowser clapped on his hat and
passed out. The popcorn man caught

what i. a "Lich Cater"

A Itch gate is a shed, generally Of oak,
over the entrance Of a churchyard, be-
meath which the bearers paused when
bringing a body for interment.
Here the clergyman met the body
and read the Introductory part of the
burial service as he preceded the funer-
al train into the church. Examples Of
old Itch gates are still to be seen in
many country churchyards. In Wales
they are more modern and are usually
built of stone.
Some of the old Itch gates are formed
with one wide door turning on a cen
trail pivot and self closing by means of
a rude pulley wheel in the roof and a
stone weight inclosed in an iron frame,
a primitive but effective piece Of ma
chinery.
In H~erefordshire they are also called
"scallage," or "scallenge gates" "Lich
gate" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon
Itch, a corpse; hence the north country
"lyke wake."-London Answers.

Fish That Change Color.

1t has been found that certain
prawns, common along the coasts of
England, change their color at least
twice every "a hours In order to har-
monize with the stronger or weaker
light prevailing near the surface or in
the deeper water. AS evening ap-
proaches these fish lose their distinctive
day colors, and all assume a transpar-
ent azure hue. The change begins with
a reddish glow. followed by a green
tinge which gradually melts into blue.
The day and night change has become
so habitual that specimens kept in per-
petual light or perpetual darkness new.
ertheless undergo the periodic altera-
zion of color.
