Then, when she grew stronger

those dainty blossoms still part of
her soul, with the perfume like the
.faintest sigh of an. angel, still upon

not for fame this time, but from the

It is a wooden crucifix, and 1t has gone

friend Brunelleschi, called in to see 1t,
said that Donatello had put peasant

of Christ. "Take some wood then"
said Donatello. irritated, "and try to
make one yourself"
Brunelleschi did so, and one day in
vited Donatello. who had been pur-

Brunelleschi's crucifix-that which Is

Ferns That Walk,

Most ferns are confirmed travellers.
New fern grows from the under
ground roots some distance away from
the old plant. The average observer
scarcely notices this, but there Is a
native fern that steps off at so lively
pace tht its odd habit has long fur
nished one of the unceasing enter
tainments Of the woods. The walking
fern often carpets lodges and tops of
shaded rocks. The slender, tufted
leaf fronds are singularly unfernlike
in appearance. They squirm about
and walk" by declining their taper
tips to the soil and taking root there
and growing. In time clusters of new
leaf fronds spring from such rooted
tips. BY and by some of these, too,
bite the earth, and. taking root, start
still other colonies, which in turn will
continue the progress again and
again. Naturally with the lapse Of
time the connection between the older
tufts and the younger becomes
broken, yet one sometimes finds Sc
ries of three or four linked together,
representing ms many steps in the
pretty ramble.

without making a splendid effort to

place the Chinese officials gather at
Picking and arrange solemn scheme
OF salvation. They meet at the Hall
Of Rites and there they throw them
selves on the ground and burn in
cense, and beat drums and gongs,
partly with a view to implore divine
aid for the sun, and partly in order
to brighten away the evil spirits that
are tormenting the luminary. That
this grand ceremony is sorry farce
does not seem to occur to their minds,
but 1t shows how childish the Chinese
