yet, for they are the largest beans in
the world. They average from 80 to 43
inches In length, are half an inch wide,
and grow in profusion on vines 25 feet
in height. They have created a sensa-
ton among horticulturists and botan-
lists and there has been many a lively
discussion regarding the species. 1t has
been pretty definitely decided, however,

AN ECLIPSE IN CHINA.
There Was n Great COmmOtion
II the Black Spot Appeared
on the Moon.

In China an eclipse of the moon is
regarded as an evil augury for the
emperor, intended to warn him to ex-
anime himself and correct his faults.
Hence an eclipse is always looked on
as an affair of state, and the greatest
care is taken to calculate the time
when it will happen. M. Edmund
Plauchut, in his book, China and the
Chinese" describes a scene he witt
messed when the moon played the as
tronomerS of Picking a mean trick. The
imperial astronomers announced thit
on February 7, at eight o'clock in the
evening, the dragon which wanderS to
and fro in the regions of the air would
endeavor to swallow the moon. The
eclipse was to be total, so the astrono-
mers had warned the people that the
attack of the monster would be terri
Bile, and that the moon would very
likely succumb If the shouts and noise
of the gongs did not put the dragon to
flight. Long before the appointed time
millions of Chinese issued from the
towns TO the open country, there, nose
in air, to watch the wonderful phe-
nomenon. Those who had been unable
to get gongs had provided themselves
with s%aucepans, r~attles, pieces of bam-
boo stems and immense quantities of
little red firecrackers. But what a
disappointment! Al eight o'clock the
gazing multitudes saw the moon rise, a
full, unspotted disc, without a sign of
anything unusual. At nine she was
still shining pure. Just as all hope
was disappearing a tremendous noise
began on every side, for the watchers
saw a black spot advancing slowly
across the face of the moon. 1t is i'm
possible to describe the rage with
which the Chinese beat their pans and
gongs, whirled their rattles and let off
the crackers. The dragon was evil
IDENTIFY frightened away by the row, for
after looking up at the full moon for
an hour and seeing nothing more of
the black spot, the crowds, jubilant
over their victory, began to dispcrse.
1t was learned later that the emperor
sent word to the astronomers that the
mex time they made such a miscalcu-
lation he would relieve them of their
appointments and send them into ex-
lie,

S~ELF-RELIANT BIRDS.
Formidable Bills for Good and
Ill Purposes.

The literary history of the raven be-
gins with Noah and Elijah. Natural
lists call him 1.-The most wary, the clev-
crest, the most amusing of birds" A
writer in the Nineteenth Century and
After, r. b. Smith, describes him as
grave, dignitied and sedate," and tells
some of the peculiarities of this histor-
ical bird.
The bill of the raven is a formidable
weapon, strong, stout, sharp at the
edges, curved toward the tip. 1t is his
one weapon of offense, but it answers
the purpose of two or three. Like the
dirk of the ~Highlanders, it is equally
available as a dagger or as a carving
knife. 1t can also be used as a pair
of pincers. 1t can kill a rat at one
blow. The raven can drive its beak
right through the spines Of a hedge
hog. 1t is said that the aven will
never attack a man. If this be true,
it is, l think, not so much from n
defect of courage as from the birds
keen intellectual perception of what
will pay and what will not.
Like most of his tribe, the raven is,
in the strictest sense of the word,
o~mnivorous. His dietary ranges from
a worm to a whale. During certain
months of the year he feeds largely on
gruhs and insects, and then he does
unmiXed good. Sometimes he takes to
berries, fruits and grains. Snakes and
frogs and moles never come amiss to
him. Although the word '~ravenous" is
not derived from raven" it might
well be, for it exactly expresses what
the raven ever has been, ever is, and
ever will be; and when. in addition to
his W voracity, he has to supply that
of the five or six young ave that
cry" he is bound TO fly at higher game,
and will lift" without scruple a nest
of partridge eggs, q rabbit or a leveret.
When his nest is built, as it generally
Is, beneath some o~verhanging rock
which quite conceals it from view from
above, its position may sometimes be
discovered by the remains of rabbits
neatly laid in the short grass on the
top of the cliff in what | was going to
Noil iAo uSl' DuI IL IdIutl lAllilto
an amount of economy and self-re-
straint which 1t is not in the raven to
practice.
AS the season gets on, the raven
varies the diet of his nurslings by CIV
ing them the eggs of the cormorant or
the sea gull, which are laid on the ad-
joining lodges. He will spike them
with his bill and carry them off in tri-
umph. He will even at times enter the
burrow Of the putin, and a battle royal
will take place beneath the surface of
the earth for the possession of the
puffin's eggs. The putin is "a small
bird, but it is armed with a huge razor
like bill which, If it does o beat the
intruder off, will at least give him a
squeeze which he will remember for a
long time to come.
In moorland districts, where food is
scarce, the ravens will attack without
scruple a newly born lamb or even a
sheep'th hat has been cast.
The raven has a passion for solitude.
He will tolerate no rival, not even his
W offspring, in the neighborhood of
his throne. He drives them ruthlessly
away as soon as they are able to shift
for themselves.
