CLOUD FORMATIONS,
What Causes Them to Assume Sucn
Variety In Shape.

What Causes Them to Assume Such
Variety In Shape.
A good idea of the correct reason fer
varying cloud shapes may be obtained
by watching the steam from railway
engine under different conditions. AS
it issues from the funnel it is trans
parent water vapor. On y moist, cloudy
day it will hang in thick, tleecy masses
i'll the track Of the train. III dry, bright
weather it will rise in liGnt, thin
wreaths, which quickly disappear. and
again when the engine is stan,inG In
Il station the steam will collect in
masses above it.
These are practically the conditions
of cloud formation. The shapes vary
recording to height above the earth. to
The temperature of the particular air
current in which they are floating. to
the force and direction of the wind at
the various attitudes and also in some
measure to the electrical condition OF
the atmosphere aud the amount Of
dust in it.
AS a rule. the higher tho clouds the
lighter they are and the more widely
spread The so called mares tails and
mackelel sky are COED examples Of
this Seine of the former are over FIVE
miles ii-li and are believed to he com
posed o; minute particles of ice. The
clouds III a mackerel Sky are generally
about three miles high.
The heavy cunlulus clouds which SO
1ften look lik" vast mountain ranges
are ONLY found in the lower and moist;
er layers Of atmosphere. Their lower
surfaces are from hall to thrce-quar
ters OF 81 mile above tie earth. while
their higher points may range from
two to three miles in elevation. Still
lower than these come th" h"avy fiat
masses CT nimbuS or rain clouds which
are seldom more than half Il mile above

Why Pat Likened the MischisvOus Setter
to an Irishman.

"Some years ago, when | was living
in the country and ~practicing law in
a nearby city" said the judge, Il had
two possessions in which l took great
delight. One was a bright, playful
half-grown Irish setter, who was as
full of mischief as an egg is full Of
meat. The other was a man Of all
work, an Irishman, named Patrick,
whose quaintness and wit was an I'M
failing source Of amusement,
ON the rear Of my house was a pick
ct fence, separating my grounds from
the public road. In that fence was a
gate. This pup found a way Of
scratching a hole in the ground under
the gate and crawling out into the
road. So / told Patrick to dig out
the ground and stamp it down hard.
Patrick obeyed, and the next night,
when l drove home, I saw the pup in
the road. Then l told Patrick to
put a piece of timber under the gate
and to drive it down hard. But the
next evening the pup was in the road
l went to the gate to investigate, and
saw that Rex had dug a large hole
on one side so as 10 loosen and move

points Of the animal the idea Of its
distinct nature was strengthened.
The duke Of Bedford has acquired
u colts of Przewalski's horse. There
fore, English biologists will have the
opportunity Of studying the new horse
in the flesh.
The colts are described as having
been born last year. They resemble
ponies rather than horses, and the
opinion is expressed that in size the
mature creature will not exhibitlarge
proportions
The muzzles are white in II out
of the IL colts at Woburn. The ears
are short, and the tails Mr.. Leydekker
describes as being well provided with
hair to near the roots. There are,
however, variations to be notedin the
conformation of the tail.
The winter coat is Of a dun hue,
while darker color prevails on the
front of the legs. Name and tail are
also dark colored. The name stands
upright, but tending to fall over. The
forelock is not well developed, nor
is the dark stripe along the back seen
in the horse family at large well
marked.
The callosities or horny excres-
cences seen on the legs Of horses and
asses exist in the case of Przewalski's
horse on both fore and hind limbs.
With regard to hoofs, these are noted
to be of the larger proportions which
distinguish the horses from the ass
tribe.
Taking the whole history of this
horse into account as far as it can be
detailed at present, the opinion may
be held that, as Mr.. Lydekker puts it,
the ordinary wild horse, the Kiangor
Asiatic wild horse, and Przewalski's
horse constitute of themselves the
true horses, while the ordinary asses
and zebras, with the African wild ass,
form a second and different group of
the family. In these true horses a
shoulder stripe is usually wanting,
as also are dark markings on the legs.

QUEENSLAND CUISINE
Aboriginal Methods Of Procuring and
Eating Their Food.

aN
A bulletin, prepared by DR.. Roth,
dealing with the search, capture and
preparation of food by the aborigines
Of Queensland, affords some interest
ing reading, says the London News.
In cookery and the care of the table
If one may be permitted to use the
expressioD-the aboriginal displays
awidNh az sa, fnot attrac-
tive to dtRSa pAlGtes, has at least
the merit Of variety. For meats they
employ roasting, baking and boiling,
and DR.. Roth has seen g%rilling prac-
ticed at Atherton and Cooktown.
Roasting is, perhaps, the simplest and
easiest method, the meat being just
thrown upon the ashes, while in bak-
ing the use Of hot stones is common
ly resorted to. Boiling is done in a
bark trough, or more usually in a
large shell, and for grilling a grid Of
crossed sticks is formed.
Clay from the ant hills is used to
oil up" when no other edible sub
stance is available, and apparently a
white clay "a form Of kaolin) is con-
sidered rather as a delicacy. After
being dug out Of the earth it is care
fully pounded and sifted, so as to
render it quite smooth and free from
grit. Ii is next placed in a bark
trough, and by the addition Of water
worked into stiff paste, This paste
is then made into a cake, placedin the
sun for six or eight days, eventually
wrapped in leaves, buried in the ashe;
and a hot fire made over it. When il
is cool it is ready for eating, and il
deyoured with a gusto. Green ants
as well as their larvae, are eaten al
food, as we'll as medicine, in some 10
calities. Great ingenuity is dis
played in the capture Of fish, 70.
which several methods are employed
Translation with the feet is common
on some portions Of the Georgina AM
other creeks, while maddyingthe wa
ter with the feet and then hitting tn
fish as they come to the surface j
a common procedure everywhere
The practice Of poisoning the W;
ter BY special plants and capturin
the fish as they come to the surface
also fairly common.
