Birds That Exercise Ingenuity,

Birds building on high trees are not
so wary about the concealment of their
nests as hedge builders and those that
seek the sprinSin2 corn or grass land
for the shelter of their homes. trusting
to the loftineSS of situation for Secu-
nty. A nest placed upon the ground
is in constant danger of exposure. \
browsing animal might destroy it.
Then the scythe with one sweep Occa-
sionally lays bare one or more nests,
thereby endangering the eggs or callOw
nestlngs. This renders the parent
birds very wary and causes them to
practice great ingenuity in their eff
forts to protect the young birds.
The skylark has been known to carry
its egg or offspring to Il place of safety
after an exposure of the nest. and it
has been said its long hind claW-the
use of which has puzzled many natu-
ralists-is specially adapted by nature
for more easily graSping ana transport
ing its treasures from the source Of
danger. When the young birds are
too bulky to be thus removed the par
ent bird carries them on its back,
though this mode of removal is n some
what difficult one u london Tit-Bts.

Spiders Like Music.

A violinist says spiders are notori-
ously and historically fond of music.
At one of his performances the concert
hall was made disagreeable by sud
den invasion of spiders, which We're
drawn by his violin out from the
cracks and crannies of the ancient
building. They crawled about the floor
and on to the stage, and he could see
the annoyed audience stamping on the
insects. The writer adds that he has
known a small garden snake to be at
tracted by piano playing and young
calf to whisk his tail and prance about
most gleefully at the first notes Of a
French horn. His neck would curve
about proudly, his hoofs tread lightly
and his ears wag joyously when the
footing began, and he never quoted
down till the music ceased.

The first patron Of our patent system
was Thomas jefferson, who during
three years gave his personal attention
to every application for Il patent He
used to call the secretary of war and
the attorney general to examine and
scrutinize with him, and they did it SO
thoroughly that in one year-the first
they granted only three patents. The
very first patent of all was given to
Samuel Hopkins in 1890 for pearl ash
es. Mr.. Jefferson held that the patent
system was not one for creating rev.
enue, but for encouraging production
Of that which is to be Of benefit to the
whole people. In the first twelve years
single clerk in the state department
and q few pigeonholes were all that
the business of the office required.
Then DR.. Thornton took charge of it
and devoted himself to it as to hobby.

PISCATORY STUPIDITY.
The Fish's Capacity For Learning Is
Painfully Contracted.

Most fishes seek their food by sight,
says Professor Edmund Clark Sanford
in the international Quarterly. and
these do not usually notice it by any
other sense. nose that are accus-
toned to find i. ~ smell seldom pay
any attention to it when they merely
see it.
Catfish depend principally on the
sense of taste. and they seem to taste
all over not only in the mouth. but by
the outer skin as far back as the tail
fin.
1t is uncertain whether fishes can feel
pain or not There is Il good deal OF
evidence to show that they cannot.
A fish that has lost its sight may
learn to avoid an obstacle after swim
ming against it a single time. but fishes
that can see will jump against the plate
glass wall of an aquarium day after
day, sometimes for year in the effort
to catch things outside.
The elements of consciousness in the
mind of Il fish foot up a total "equiva-
lent. perhaps, to the lowest idiOcy when
measured by human Standards 1t is
possible that the fish's capacity for
learning is about on level with that

HANGMAN'S PAY.

az tlA tItS lHFSP.
In the east hungmun'S trade is very
profitable. As soon rs Il person is
condemned to be hanged notice is sent
to the cNecutioncr. who has the privi-
legc of erecting the Scatiold wherever
he plcases, and at sunrise the next
morning he begins his work. Accom-
panied by his assistants. who guard
the condemned man and carry material
for the scaifold. he goes to some prOmi-
nent place in front of large dwelling
and there proceeds to erect the scnifold.
a few minutes later the owner of the
large dwelling rushes out and implorcs
him to go somewhere else.
81 don't want to have a man hanged
in front of my house." he explains.
IAN right" says the hangman I'm
willing to 20 elsewhere provided you
pay me for my trouble in coming here
and for the time which / have spent
at the job"
Though the sum which he names Is
pretty large, the owner of the large
dwelling pays it without Il word,
whereupon the hangman goes to an
other large dwelling, where Il similar
scene is enacted.
In this way several hours are spent
by the eXecutioncr in eXtorting money
from all the mHgnateS in the neighbour

HOCKEY

AT the fifth championship hockey match, In
Winnipeg last night, one burst Of cyclonic speed
at the opening of the second half gave the Vic
torias five goals and grip the game which
the Oarsmen could not shake off. the score at
the call of time standing to 5 in favor Of the
old time champions. ..-..
The result Of the game was decided surprises
but the work of the Victorias In the second
half was ten times great Jolt to the wise
ones. When the Victorias left the ice at the
finish of the first period, with the score to /
against them, hope was practically dead within
the breasts Of their supporters, for it looked
as If the Oarsmen were going to make the cham
pionship sure thing.
Play had not been In progress for more than
minute when the fallacy of this idea was appar-
ent, for the champions were at their best and did
little in the second half but play tag with their
opponents. The rink was crowded and the
crowd was looking for an Aquatic victory.
The Portage Lake hockey team closed the sea-
son on its home ice last night and settled Mon
day nights tie by defeating the Bankers Of
Pittsburg. The Portage Lake team lays claim
to the championship of the west and the north
