And, dreaming. feel little face
Pressed softly to my own.

IN THE INTEREST OF SCIENCE.
One of the Drawbacks. to Social In.
timacy with a Chemist of Blunt
Faculties.

When ones friend is a scientist and
given to experiments a little caution
may not be out of place before con-
senting to do him a favor. That,
however, did not occur to certain
well-known public man whose expert
ence is related in an Australian paper.
He went to the laboratory of an
old schoolmate, a Melbourne profess
or of chemistry, to make a friendly
call. The professor was studying a
dark brown substance spread out on
sheet of paper.
II say" he cried, when greetings
had been exchanged, ''would you
kindly let me place bit of this on
your tongue? My taste has become
vitiated by trying all sorts of things
Certainly responded the accom-
modating friend, and he promptly
opened his mouth.
The professor took up some of the
substance under analysis and put it
on his friends tongue. The man
worked it around. in his mouth for
fully a minute, tasting it as much as
ne might nave tasted a cnOlce confec-
ton.

fessor.

LANGUAGE OF THE TURKEY.
An English Naturalist Think. He
Understands the Meaning ct
the GObbler's Cries.

Nelson Wood, an English scientist,
has made lifelong study of the Ian
guage of birds, and he thinks he can
not only understand what many of the
feathered creatures are saying, but
also express things to them which they
understand. He has many interesting
things to tell about the birds he has
met, says report from London.
The creatures of the air, so he says,
talk the least; turkeys, chickens and
such feathered creatures, as they do
not fly very much, talks the most. The
explanation of this is natural.
The birds that do not fly are always
in more danger and they have many
notes of warning. Language among
them, of course, as it must have been
with primitive man, is but an express
sion of the simplest needs: Danger,
hunger, warning, pleasure and SUCH
sensa lions are the first emotions ex-
pressed.
To illustrate the various calls which
turkey has, Mr.. Wood cites note for
overhead danger, another for danger
on the ground, third for hawk in
the distance, another of complaint
when being driven, different call in
open meadow from that in bushes,
special signal at night. as wellas spe-
cial kind of note used in ordinary con-
versation.
Chickens have even more modes of
expression. A hen has three distinct
songs, one when seeking her nest, an
other for calling her mate and a third
for grooming to herself or in the search
of food.
The rooster has several distinct
notes, and Mr.. Wood says that some of
these the ordinary person never OBJ
serves. There is one, a low, fine
whistle which the rooster uses some
times on dark day when going to
roost, but when the rooster really be-
gins to carry on an extensive converse
ton is when he meets another chan
ticleer in battle.
It ranges all the way from defiant
chuckle which invites the other fellow
to fight as surely as the proverbial chip
on boys shoulder, to a feminine
Groom which means fear and desire to
retire.
Perhaps of all birds the parrot is the
most intelligent. People have been ac-
customed to think of the parrot as
simply mimic, but Mr.. Wood pretends
to have known many that actually un-
derstood the words they were saying.
One of his parrot friends always sa-
luted him with "Good morning" early
in the day and "Good night" at night.
The ability of crows to smell gum
powder long distance off has always
been asserted for them. and those who
have studied the birds to any extent
easily recognize varying caws, showing
fear, warning or affection, as the case
may be. That birds are able to. ex-
press pleasure everyone knows. The
cheerful Tilt of the songsters is only
one way in which they show their joy
of living in such good world as this.

trlct Where They
Will Locate,

Messrs. j. E. Blum and j. Grumper,
of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michi-
gan, paid visit to Alberta last sum-
mer and saw there Mr.. Shantz, one of
the good old Pennsylvania stock, who
had come recently-some seven years
ago-from Ontario, with $24 in his
pocket. He has certainly prospered
as he now owns over 20 head Of cattle,
has good log house framed over,
also good barn and in all respects
looks thrifty and well-to-do farmer.
He had some good crops of oats and
barley. After spending some days in
Calgary and Edmonton they returned
to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked
around the country North to Lums-
den and Balgonie where the crops ap-
peared very promising and heavy, con-
tinuing up the Regina and Long Lake
Road they came to Saskatoon on the
crossing of the South Saskatchewan
River. OF this district they say
"The country here pleased us better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in northwesterly direc-
ton through the Smith settlement.
This is wonderful district, the growth
was splendid, all kinds of grains and
roots were perfection. The older set
tiers had good buildings Of all kinds
and looked very prosperous, in fact
we came to the conclusion that we had
found what we were looking for, a
good country. While the nature of the
soil changes and is in some parts light,
in others stony, and again heavy, gem
orally speaking it leaves nothing to be
desired. Hay and water are also in
abundance and wood can be found
along the river slopes and islands.
We have decided to locate there and
shall certainly advise our friends to
do likewise. We also trust that this
report may have the effect of draw
ing the attention Of land seekers to
this district, and can honestly advise
all such to locate there. They will find
a good thing. AS farmers ourselves,
from good district in Michigan, we
have come to the conclusion that prop
erly farmed Western Canada will grow
almost anything" Ask for informa-
tion from any agent of the Canadian
