Later digestion begins, and the

the imprisoned gas, and his stomach
becomes a balloon, which lifts him
from the depths of the ocean to the

BIRDS NEST E1rNGI.

bird':; nest seen IN species of cruci-
bulum, cyathus and nidularia.
Though most of these are too small
to impose on one the resemblance is
singula1ly exact, and q large sneci-
men might almost pass for the nest
of some small bird, the eggs being
admirably represented by the little
oval fruits of the fungus. Even in
such cases we must not too rashly
conclude that the resemblance con-
fers no advantage. The existence Of
attractive characters in so many
fungi points to the conclusion that
the same principles are in operation
among them as among towering
plants. Numerous facts indicate Il
tendency in fungi to assume guise
which helps either to protect the
plant or to promote the fertilization,
termination or dispersion of it's
spores. If, as some mycologists be-
lieve, spores benefit through being
swallowed by animals, it is easy to
understand how a fungus might prof
it by being mistaken even for birds
nest containing eggs"

pitch Lake In Trinidad.

Trinidad, an island in the South
Atlantic, opposite the mouth of the
Orinoco, is famous for it's pitch.
There are districts where there is
pitch everywhere. The beach is
pitch and so are the 'rocks," some of
which have been carried off to supply
Paris and New York with tar pave
ments. AT La Brea pineapples grow
to perfection in a brown soil which
is half pitch. But the wonder of the
isle IS the pitch lake, mile and a
half in circumference. AS it lies gilt
tering in the sun it looks like a vast
bed of monstrous mushrooms, ali
black and of all kinds of shape and
size, some measuring as much as so
feet across. The space between
these unloyely o! iects is filed with
oily water. In parts of the lake the
pitch IS quite liquid, and the ground
all round is full of pitch and coaly
stuff 10 depth of hundreds of feet.

Between bites of the simple break

it carefully, having uue regard for
mis- mouth and tongue. But time
pressed, and, with I; parting glance
at the clock, he reached for his
glass of ice water and prepared to
pour some of the frigid fluid into his
cup.

man." said an elderly gentleman who
was eating his breakfast on the 9TH

man tempered his resentment.

he wiped it carefully with a nap

glass vessel in the cup of coffee.
Salt, you know. has peculiar cool
ing properties" he said, meanwhile
holding the receptacle firmly in po-
sition. "They put it with ice to in
tensify the cold when making ice
cream. 1t is used extensively in
cold storage houses for cooling pur-
poses, and being incased in glass does
not effect its power to any great
extent"

cellar from the coffee and motioned

to such an extent that he could drink
it without inconvenience.
