The Kingnsher.

Koskomenos. the kingfsher, still bur rows in the earth like his reptile an- cestors. Therefore the other birds call him outcast and will have nothing to do with him. But he cares little for that, being a clattering, rattle headed, self satisfied fellow, who seems to do nothing all day long but fish and eat. AS you follow him, however, you note with amazement that he does some things marvelously well-better, in- deed, than any other of the wood folk. To locate fish accurately in still wa ter is difficult enough when one thinks of light refraction, but when the fish is moving and the sun glares down into the pool and the wind wrinkles its face into thousand flashing, changing fur rows and ridges, then the bird that can point bill straight to his fish and hit him fair just behind the gills must have more in his head than the usual chattering gossip that one hears from him on the trout 1treams.-Country Life In America.

Two Queer Diseases.

Astasia is q nervous affection the peculiar feature of which is the fact that person suffering from it cannot stand upright. If he tries, he will be obliged to hop and jump whenever'h 'his feet touch the ground. In word, his actions are precisely those of person who might be required to stand up- right on q floor composed of redhot coals. Fortunately there are not many cases of this malady on record. Aka thisia Is the exact opposite of astasia, since person suffering from it cannot remain seated. The moment he seats himself in chair he is obliged to start up again. A person afflicted with akatbisia can walk easily, but cannot sit. whereas person suffering from astasia cannot stand upright and cannot walk in the ordinary manner owing t. the contraction of his lower limbs.

The Earth,s Other Motion.

The earth, in addition to its diurnal Ind annual revolutions, has slow Kabbling of its axis, motion seldom mentioned even in the textbooks of as. tronomy. This curious motion may be properly likened to that lmparted to top by touch of the finger on It's rinl when 1t is in rapid movement, the touch causing the upper end of the tops stem to describe q small circle. So. too, the mighty sun lays hold of the rim of the great terrestrial top, and 1t begins to oscillate in the long period of 2i,900 yeais-that is to say, on Dec. q, 1249, the earth made its nearest approach to the sun, and 1t will approach equally near in 10,500 years from that time, or on the Dist day of June in the year 11,T4S. This has all to do with climate both north and south of the equatorial line.
 In the period comprising the first our northern winters are short and mild and our summers are long and sunny. But during the period of which the year 11,74S will be the mid dle our winters will be awful in their severity and our summers short and cool. Even now the northern hemi- sphere is slowly but surely losing It's long. sunny summers, and if you should live until the winter of the year 1,74S. 49 you could tell story of cold and snows that would pale to insignificance 70 tn%4 70 1000 34, for the whole northern hemisphere will then be in the midst of its great and terrible winter.

A Missing Point.

A good instance of the importance of punctuation was afforded in the case of a contemporary, according to the London Chronicle, which once an- nounced the death of the bishop of Brisbane. This was promptly contra dicted. The explanation followed that the cable received was: Bishop of Brisbane found dead sea serpent fifty feet long," Reading this as two items of news, the news editor chose the piece of information most suited to his columns, and the cable announced. "The bishop of Brisbane has been found dead"
