The White Robin.
From st. Nicholas.

In the summer of 1900 some friends of
mine came to me with a story or a stra,,ra
white bird that had been seen sa,,e,ar
times among the trees of a small pro,-o q,
southern Ohio, the state in which nv borna
county is. Finally another friend told me
that he had seen pair of robins feeding

Itli Wiliee Ieathers or fur for winter is not an
aIblno The perfect albino has mink eyes
and no color about it, The white robin
saw was perfect albino
The rest of the brood of which the aIbino

out for themselves but the narent birds
were still feeding their white hedplinp Tbo

blackbird conversation about the object of
Ineir curiosity. clucking and chucklng
away at great rate
The white robin did not hunt food for if

so. but depended on its parents When II
flew 1t did SO awkwardly and blunderingIv
and generally seemed to prefer staying in
one place.
A day or two .afterward two boys brought
to my office the white robin dead One of
the local papers had said that an albino
robin might be sold to a museum, and I
accused the boys of having killed the bird
on the chance of selling 1t. This they stout
ly denied, saying that they found It dead
l took off the skin for the purpose of
mounting 1t and found that the bows had
been telling the truth, for there was no sign
of an injury. The poor robin was very
thin and its stomach was almost empty
except for the remains of one bug / won
dered If its parents had grown tired of
feeding it. l found also that the reason II
flew SO poorly was because it's eyes were de-
fective and that it must have been almost
blind. Had its parents fed 1t until the time
of the fall migration southwark the white
robin could not have gone with the rest and
must have starved. The robin was entirely
white, with pink eyes, a pinky white beak
and pinkish legs
Albnism, by the way is caused by the
lack of pigment, or coloring matter, in the
quilts. Birds SO afflicted are usually not
well developed, and suffer from attacks Of
individuals of their own species.

dressed that morning. First, the boots
were tried on to see how they fitted, then
they We're taken off because Johnnie had
forgotten to put on his stockings, and when
he did at last get all his clothes on III
proper order down he danced to show
everybody in the house those wonderful
new boots.
Laws massy, chiler' said old black
Dnah, you is a man now, shore enuff,' -
and these words made Johnnie's heart swell
= with pride.
AS soon as breakfast was overland John
ME was too excited to eat even the delicious
waffies which Dinah had cooked specially
for hm-he begged his mamma to let him
go to Tom Smiths house to show him that
he, too, had a pair Of boots.
Il am afraid it is going to rain, dear"
said mamma, slowly, for she did not like
to refuse Johnnie this longed for pleasure.
Well, mamma, won't get my new boots
wet if it does rain. Please let me go; L
won't stay long," begged Johnnie.
His mamma looked up at the sky. Wei,
don't stay long, for L don't want you to get
wet, either, Johnnie she said.
Tom Smith lived about six blocks away
from Johnnie, but it did not take him Iive
minutes to get there. The new boots were
shown and admired to his hearts content,
and Johnnie and Tom were soon busily en-
gagged in play.
Time passed, and before either of them
had noticed it the sky was black with gath
ering clouds.
Suddenly Johnnie remembered his promise
not TO stay long, and without waiting to
notice how dark 1t looked he ran out He
had gone about half the distance toward
home when the big drops fell and spashed
right on those new boots. Johnnie's heart
fell. What should he do to prevent those
new boots from getting wet? A bright
thought struck him. Why not take of the
boots, tuck one under each arm and cover
them with his little jacket?
Without hesitating moment Johnnie sat
down on the curbstone, pulled off Those be-
loved boots, and, opening his jacket slowed
lhem safely away, one under each arm.
Not thought did he give to mis- stockings
or his feet. They did not matter
Homeward then Johnnie ran, as fast as
ms little stockinged feet could carry him.
You can perhaps imagine his mo.hers sur
prise when he burst in upon her with his
eyes sparkling, curls flying, cheeks glowing,
but the precious boots safe and dry

Fun With Leaf Rollers.


Have you ever noticed a leaf on a tree
rolled up tightly and held in that position
by tiny silken threads? Look at the trees
near your home and see If you can find a
nest of leaf rollers.
There are several different kinds Of nests
Sometimes one larva will make itself a little
house by rolling the end Of leaf around
several times and fastening IL with sticky
thread; other times a number viii work to-
gether and use several leaves in building a
common home.
OF course, you will want to know what is
on the inside Of these nests. Should you
find several of them, break one open and
examine it. If you find only a dried up
skin, you may make up your mind that by
this time the larva is, no doubt. flying
around in the shape of a moth. If. on the
other hand, you discover that the larva is
still at home, then take the remaining nests
home and put them in a small box with
mosquito netting for a cover and little
damp earth or sand on the bottom. be-
cause the pupa sometimes buries itself for
a time before becoming a moth.
Another way is to tie a bag, made of net
ting, around a nest and leave it on the tree
watching it from day to day.
These experiments are very interesting.
Try them several times and you are sure
TO catch the leaf roller in the act of chang
ng its clothes.

EXPERIMENTS.

]. Place a cylinder of strong glass, open
at both ends, on the plate of the air pump,
and put your hand on the other end, and
you will of course be able to remove it at
pleasure. Now exhaust the air from the
interior of the cylinder. and at each stroke
of the pump you will feel your hand pressed
tighter and tighter on the cylinder, until
you will not be able to remove it. AS soon
as the air is again admitted to the interior
of the cylinder the pressure within will
be restored, and the hand again be at lib
erty.
=. Tie a piece of moistened bladder very
firmly over one end of a similar glass cylin-
der, and place the open end on the plate of
the pump. AS soon you begin to exhaust
the air from the interior the bladder which
was previously quite horizontal, will begin
10 bulge inward, the concayity increasing
as the exhaustion proceeds until the blad-
der, no longer able to bear the weight of
the superintendent air, breaks with
loud report.
3. The elasticity of air, or, indeed. of anv
gaseous body may be shown by introducing
Under the air-pump receiver a bladder con-
tanning very small quantity of air its
mouth being closely tied. AS you exhaust
the air from the receiver, that portion con-
tanned in the bladder being no longer press
ed upon by the atmosphere will gradually
expand, distending the bladder until it ap-
pears nearly full; on readmitting the air
into the receiver the bladder will at once
shrink to it's former dimensions
A shrlVeled apple placed under the same
conditions will appear plump when the air
Is removed from the receiver, and resume
It's former appearance the readmission
of the air.
4. There is very pretty apparatus made
for the purpose of showing the pressure
OF the atmosphere. consisting of a hollow
globe OF brass, about three inches in diam
eter divided into two equal parts, which fit
very accurately together. 1t is furnished
with two handles, one of them screwed into
a hoiioW stem, communicating with the
interior of the globe and fitting on to the
air pump; the other is attached to a short
stem On the opposite side of the globe In
the natural state the globe may easily be
separated into it's two hemispheres by one
person pulling the handles; but after the
air mas been exhausted from the interior it
requires two very strong men to separate
the parts, and they will often fail By
turning the stop-cock and readmittins the
air into the interior of the globe it viii
come asunder as easily at first

Sly Little Fishermen.

In nearly all streams where the current is
swift, you will find the nets OF the cad
dice worms. tucked down between two
rocks or fastened to a fiat stone on the
brink of a waterfall. These little nets catch
stray water bugs and sometimes entangle
small fish. They are made OF a silken
fabric which the worm spins with its mouth
and are shaped like funnel, the larger end
being pointed up stream. so that the water
rushing past spreads them out In position.
The nets are very strong and quite similar
in construction to a spiders web.
Close by his net the little fisherman builds
his home. Lift up the nearby rocks and
under them you will find a little bunch Of
pebbles bound together by silk threads. In
among these is a small silk tube In which
the worm lives. Were 1t not for the pebbles
attached to 1t the caddice worms home
would go sailing down the stream As an
extra precaution he oftentimes fastens one
end Of the silk thread to a large stone
