1t seems that kingfishers are among
the most regular patrons Of the Roman
bath in Bath town. The famous water

vailed elsewhere. One of the birds was

mountains. Jenny had listened to him
when she wouldn't listen to the young
fellows at the Forks, with whom she
had been brought up. One night Jenny
had gone away, and the man from be-
yond the mountain went at the same
time. Two years later the girl came
back Her old father took her in. The
Tumblns Forks folk found out that
though she carried in her arms a baby
boy, she was a deserted wife. OF the
man from beyond the mountains none
of them ever heard again.

A good rawhide lariat costs from SIS
TO $50, and is therefore rather too ex-
pensive for the average boy, but even if
it were within his reach it would be of
little use to him, for the regulation
lasso is from forty to fifty feet long
and far too heavy for a beginner TO
handle. There is perhaps no posses
sion of the cowboys more subject to
variation than his lasso; what is exact
ly suited to one seems altogether I'M
fitted for another, and without his own
particular style of rope a man loses
half his efficiency. ! shall, therefore, in
this article suggest several styles of
rope and each boy must select the one
which seems best adapted to him

The water spider carries air down
with it when it dives. DR.. McCook saw
one remain forty-iive minutes under
tie water. One water spider builds n
nest under the water attached to IT,
stem Of some plant, and in the shape CT
diving bell. with the opening down
ward 1t fills this bell with air by TAX
ing down a bubble at Il time. Coming
to the surface it encloses an air bubble
under its body, and instantly descends.
Getting under the nest the bubble is
allowed to escape into it. and this pro-
cess continues until the nest is full of
air. The spider then lays its eggs
there, inclosed in a cocoon, and leaves
them for the young to grow in This UNI
der-water palace, safe from all flying
foes.
When these water spiders are seen
under water they look like little balls
Of shining silver. Little bubbles of air
seem to cling among thealars Of their
bodies. AS spiders, like insects. breathe
the air at little holes along he whole
length of the body, they can easily
make use of these bubbles of air for
breathing.

The effect produced by the contact Of

entirely enveloped by steam and

however, is very simple. The chalk is
