THE ability of beaver to remain
under water for long time is really
not so tough a problem as it looks.
When the lake or pond is frozen over
a beaver will come to the under sur
face of the ice and expel his breath,
so that 1t will form a wide, fiat bub-
Bile. The air, coming in contact with
the ice and water, is purified, and the
beaver breathes it again. This opera
tion he can repeat several times The
otter and muskrat do the same thing.

tens up the north branch of the Sou

night she knawed a hole through the
barrel and cleared out, leaving her kit

no way of feeding them, so l released
them. Soon after that caught big

BARRIERS, like tailors, have fashion
plates, and in various suburban shops
the latest plates upon the ways to
wear the hair are now pasted up. The
October plate devotes itself to six
styles, the legal, the medical, the
French, the professor, the student and
the business man. The pictures are
interesting. The legal style shows a
smooth shaven young man with his
hair cut very short and parted and
brushed " in a smooth, lustrous wing
over either temple. The medical pic
ture is of foolish looking person with
an immense nose and with light hair
parted on the side and brushed far
back off the brow. The French shows
youth with his hair mass of small
corkscrew curls. The student has long
hair, parted in the middle and
smoothed down almost to his eye
brows. The professor has what is
called a round cut, his locks, that is
to say, end at certain point on his
neck in rounded mass, and beneath
this mass the shaved neck of the pro-
fessor looks very white and clean.
The business man, according to the
fashion plate, wears his hair short at
the back and sides and long on the
top of his head, and his parting is
in the middle, this arrangement MAX
ing kind of scallop or double semi
circle of hair upon his forehead. What
kind of cut will you have, sir?" the
suburban BARRIERS now say. "Shall it
be medical, legal, student, French or
what?" And they point with their
combs at the fashion plate and wait
blandly for the customers reply

H. D. Reed and Verne Morton, in
country Life in America, tell an inter-
esting and pictoria. story of the wood
chuck, or ground hog.
Perhaps no wild mammal" says
Mr.. Reed, sis more familiar to coun-
try people that the woodchuck. Every
hillside and meadow is dotted with
the small piles of earth which mark
the doorway to his home. The wood
chuck prefers hillside or knoll in
which to dig his hole, for here he can
easily make the end of his den higher
than the beginning thus avoiding the
danger of being drowned out.
What could be more unlike in gen.
eral appearance than woodchuck and
a squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both
beAong to the same family of mammals.
The trim body, sharp claws and agility
of the squirrels make it possible for
them to lead an arboreal life, jumping
recklessly from branch to branch,
while the flabby form and short legs
of the woodchuck better adapt him for
digging than for running or climbing.
The nature of the food of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay up
stores as the chipmunks do, nor is il
of such a kind that it can be obtained
during the winter. The case of this
creature during the winter seems to
be, therefore, one of sleep long and
soundly or starve. During the win
ter's sleep or Information, life pro-
ceSSeS go on very slowly breathing g

slow and feeble that they cannot be
felt. They come from their winters

LIGHTNING RODS.
A Recent Discussion of Their Value by
English Engineers.

A Recent Discussion of Their Value by
English Engineers.
At the annual meeting of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement
Of Science in Glasgow last month, the
engineering section listened to paper
on lightning rods contributed by Kill
| lingworth Hedges. He described the
rods in use on st. Pauls CT .thedral in
London, which. though erected less
than 80 years ago, had been found to
be defective. He had himself planned
the rearrangement and also one for
Westminster abbey. The conditions
prevailing in big cities are somewhat
different from those in rural districts,
perhaps, but the fact that experts still!
consider lightning rods are necessary
in the one Justifies faith in their utili-
ty in the other, especially if rightly
constructed.
Mr.. Hedges said that on st. Pauls
cathedral the number of ordinary con-
ductors from air to earth had been
greatly increased; and, besides these,
horizontal cables were run on the
ridges of the roofs and in other prom
inent positions SO as to encircle the
| building, being interconnected to the
vertical conductors wherever they
cross one another. The horizontal ca
bles were furnished at intervals with
aigrettes, or spikes, which were invisi
, BILE from the ground level, and de-
signed to give many points of dis
charge. At the same time they, in
conjunction with the cables, should re-
ceive any side flash which might oc-
receive a direct stroke of lightning
The unreliability of soldered points for
conductors, whether of cable or tape,
led the author to design special joint
box. Owing 10 the difficulty of sinking
an earth plate of sufficient area, on ac-
count of old foundations at St. Pauls,
a tubular earth had been designed.
He had recommended keeping the
conductor away from the building, be-
cause that was the plan followed on
the continent, where lightning storms
were much more frequent than in Eng
land. 1t was very difficult, in follow
ing the shape of the building. to avoid
corners and sharp turns, which would
prevent the current from following the
conductor. In case in which chin-
ney had been struck at Wallsend, the
| lightning went to the chimney first,
then to the conductor, and after that
back again to the chimney, knocking
part of it down. He had preferred
round rods to fiat strips on the author
ity of DR.. oliver Lodge; and agreed
that architects might get puzzled if
first one thing were recommended and
then another. He would, however,
prefer not to lay down any rules as
absolutely definite until more results
were brought in from various persons
who were making observations all over
the country. 1t was in order to get
these data that the lightning commit
tee had been constituted.

Civilization of the Crows,

The Crow Indians, once the terror
Of the plains, are now scheduled as
among the most Industrious and pros
porous Indians in the country. There
are about two thousand of them on
the Grow reservation in Montana, and
they have been reported at Washing
ton as "self-sustaining." There are
gradations of worthlessness even
among the savages, and the Crows
were more energetic in their wild life
than were many of the other tribes,
and especially those of the Const.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
they are more energetic in semi-civil-
lied life than the others and are ready
sooner to dispense with government
rations.

am now determined to advise all persons suf-
fering from pains to use this wonderful rem
edy, which did SO much for me.''
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to
what treatment she pursued during the
months she was unable to, stand, and during
which time she was suffering so much, but we
venture to suggest that had she called in any
we'll known medical man he would have at

conquered pain upwards of fifty years, and

not know the high opinion in which st. jacobs

A Little Girls story.

And tried to steal her hair.

And opened wide her eyes.
Those foolish things supposed twas me,
And hoped off in surprise.
And then it was found their nest
They were so droll, you see,
As up they flew, and down they few,
Glancing sideways at me.
But now they know me very well,

Those curious animals the elephant
seals, also known as sea elephants,
have been recently studied by Profess
well as by Robert Hall, well known
naturalist, and as result many new
facts have been gathered in regard to
their life and habits.
These seals are only to be found in
the southern seas, and mainly in the
vicinity of the Kergueles islands,
where they go in Augusc for the pur-
pose of pairing. They remain there
until February or March. During the
winter they are very dull and apathet-
ic, but as spring approaches they be-
come more lively. Mr.. Hall says that
be went several times through a herd
Of 40 or so animals while they were
dozing. and only few were disturbed
by him.
These seals live in communities, and
In single bay may often be seen from
to 10 colonies Hitherto 1t has been
supposed that there is never more than
one male in single herd, but there
now seems to be abundant proof that
each herd contains seas of only one
sex. Thus, in one bay there will re
five or six herds of males, and in an
other five or six herds Of females.
Professor Chun, who has studied the
seals thoroughly in their native haunts.
says that for long time after the
animals return to the Kergueles in
the autumn they do not take any food
but remain torpid in beds which they
form until they have shed their old
hair and put on a new coat. During
the winter he saw several seals killed,
and not a particle of food was found
in their stomachs.
Mr.. Hall, on the other hand, says
that the seals during this period feed
once a day, going down to the water
to obtain supply of fish. In any case.
1t is certain that these animals can live
without food for long time, since they
have under their skin a layer of fat
which is Is centimetres in thickness.
How the Beaver Breathes In Winter.
"The beaver is really sort of port
able pulp mill, grinding up most any
kind of wood that comes his way. l
once measured white birch tree, %
inches through, cut down by beav-
er. A single beaver, generally, If not
always, amputates the tree, and when
1t comes down the whole family fall
to and have regular frolic with the
bark and branches A big beaver will
bring down a fair sized sapling-say
three inches through-in about two
minutes, and large tree in about an
hour.
"One of the queerest facts about the
beaver is the rapidity with which his
long, chisel shaped teeth recover from
an injury. | have known beavers to
break their teeth in biting a trap,
and when l caught them again 10 days
afterward you couldn't see sign OF
the break-the teeth had grown out to
their former perfection in that short
period.
"As compared with the otter or mink
the beaver is very slow swimmer. His
front legs hang by his sides, and he
uses only his webbed hind feet for
purposes of swimming. 1t is easy
Sto capture one in canoe If you can
Z find him In shoal water. He is most
determined fighter, but clumsy and
