Used Sparrows for Food.

The inhabitants of the Square OF
Vanguard, Paris, noticed for some
time past young man who was evi.
IDENTITY in the last state of poverty, but
who shared his meal of bread each
day with the sparrows. After some
time the birds got to know him, and
descended in flocks the moment he
appeared. The residents in the square
took great interest in the proceedings,
which they regarded as a touching
evidence of humanity under ragged
shirt. Unfortunately for the young
man, one more curious than the rest
watched him closely, and observed
that when the sparrows came to feed
out of his hand they were transferred
to his pockets. When arrested the
young man said that he cooked and
ate the sparrows because of his in.
ability of getting food otherwise.

Odd Place for Serpent,

child, the daughter of a workingman,
became very i'll one day, but speedily

ward dismayed her parents by eating
good deal more than child of that
age is wont to eat.
Instead, however, of growing fatter,
the girl grew thinner, and doctors,
who were summoned to attend her,
were unable to explain why the food
did her no good. Finally the riddle
was solved, for a serpent about
twenty inches in length issued one
morning from the child's mouth.
The serpent was killed and sent to
the University of Strasburg, and since
then the little one has enjoyed ex.
cellent health. 1t is supposed that
the child swallowed the serpent while

MYaterX of Lost Sounds.

An English scientist noticing the
mysterious way In which sounds some.
times are lost in space recently under.
balloon. He found that while still
within talking distance of earth all
sound Of the human voice was
quenched in the mere indistinguisha-
BILE hum of the human hive. Equally
lost was the striking of clocks and
ringing of bells, but dogs bark rang
out clearly. So, also. the below of a
COW far out in some field, would pene-
trate above the babel of busy town,
while the screeching of railway wills
ties pierced the sky uD to three miles
and, gathered In from vast areas, oft.
en- reached an intensity positively
painful. The strangest of all acoustic
phenomena is the unaccountable ST.
lence which sometimes ensues when
sound Is to be expected. In many
cases it has been proved that, speak
ing literally, the lost sounds issuing
from point on seacoast were not
extinguished, for they were heard
distinctly farther out at sea. Heavy
salutes unheard by people within
twenty or thirty miles have been
plainly audible at a much greater dis
lance, and this apparently not in a di-
rection favored by the wind. The
scientist who conducted the balloon
experiment offers the theory that con.
ditions OF the aerial currents rather
than the direction of the wind are re.
sponsible for these phenomena.
