Here is brief extract from letter
written to Il friend in Kansas by one OF
the small sons of Mr.. JewcSbury, who
was among the besieged in the Picking
legation:
II and mama and Donald have lost
their bicycles because the Boxers have
burned our bicycles.
We are having very nice time In
Picking. Are you well? We brought
five of our reading books. but our other
books are burned up. We are trying
and trying rs hard as we can to save
our lives. We have to put some sand
bags at the windows so that the Boxers
can't shoot us. We are trying as hard
as we can to take that big cannon
away from the Boxers. but we cannot
get the cannon away. We have had a
bullet hit our house. We eat rice three
times day. We cannot have all the
butter we want. We have 80 people.
The bullets have stopped"

"Oncc. and once only" says II. r.
Tristman, an English traveller in Sa-
hara, II had the good fortune to take
an Ostrich's nest, although fresh eggs
were not infreQucntly brought in by
the Arabs We observed with our telc-
scopes two birds standing for some
time in the same spot and were in
duCcd to ride toward them. They
rapidly scuddcd off, but on intCrSeCting
their track we turned back and re-
traced II instead of continuing n vain
pursuit An OstrlCh's track is by no
means easy either to follow or to re-
trace, for his stride measures, when he
Is nj full speed, from % to % feet. and
the obong impression Of two toes at so
wide intervals affords no very evident
track to any eyes less expert than
those of Bcdouin huntsman.

spot where we had seen the birds
standing together and where the sand
was we'll trOddcn down. Two Arabs
Mt once dIsmountcd and began to dig
with their hands, and presently they
brought up four fresh eggs from
depth of about foot under the warm
sand
"Ostrlch egg omelet we always found
a most welcome addition to our desert
bill of fare and n convenient and
portable provision, for from the thick
ness of the shell the eggs keep per
fectly sweet and fresh for n fortnight
or three weeks"

why the Oyster Crop Fni,s,

1t Is pointed out that partial failure
of the oyster crop In certain years, the
diminution in size of the oysters on the
market and the extinction of many
oyster beds that formerly were famous
have been due to want of material for
the production of the oyster shell. The
beds throughout the oyster belt have
steadily dctcrIo1ted in late years and
In many cases become absolutely
worthless In spite of the fact that FOOD
has been supplied artitcially at great
expense and trouble ana wire fences
have been used to protect the oysters
from the startsh.
For this trouble the dehlcmcnt of
the water by sewage and waste of va
rious manufacturing establishments
have usually been blamed. sometimes
justly. sometimes without cause. What
the oyster must have or II will perish
is full supply of carbonate of lime
with which to build its shell Near the
mouths Of rivers, where carbonate OF
lime In mechanical solution. as II Is ex-
pressed, comes down from the hills and
plains Of the interior In drainage, the
oyster has all the material ii needs for
building its house, and at the same
time the infowlng tide brings K ample
food. Boston Transcript.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
How "A Thunderstorm Forms.

The formation of thunderstorm is
one of the familiar things that few Of
US know anything about. That sounds
like a contradiction, but 1t is not, for
while we are familiar enough with the
impressive spectacle made by the
clouds as Fhey gather and with the
sometimes disastrous and always star
Ting effects of the storm when it breaks
over us, how many of us can trace it
back to It's origin, step by step, and tell
how and where it got its terrible
power?
Let us try to do this. There is no
doubt that the electric charge of a
cloud comes from an Initial charge
multiplied by induction. The initial
charge may be acquired by evapOra-
ton, for we know that electricity may
be generated in that way, or 1t may be
generated by the friction of vapor lad
en- air, which, moving as wind, comes
In contact with objects on the earth
surface.
This vapor is composed of very mi
mute particles of water, each of which
becomes electrified, the charge acCu-
mulating on its surface. Now, as these
PARTICLES or drops come together and
are condensed into larger drops the
surface area is reduced In proportion
to the volume and an increased cleo
trio accumulation Is the result. In
other words, when two drops are con-
densed into one there is the same guam
tity of water and Of electricity as when
the drops were separate, but there is d
good deal less surface, and the electric
charge is intensified to that extent.
The drops so formed attract smaller
drops by their greater power, and thus
condensation, with continual increase
OF power. goes on rapidly, and thun-
dercloud begins to form. AS the cloud
is sent forward by the wind 1t affects
the earths surface by induction, and
the earth's surface affects 1t in the
same way, the cloud becoming posi-
lively and the earth negatively charg-
ed. This goes on rapidly, electric en-.
ergy being continually drawn to the
clo,,,, from the air and the same guam.
tity being repealed from the earth be-
tow. THUS It Is that the thundercloud
forms 50 quickly and acquires so great
an electric power. '' 's..ssff'& s. r
