Animal Lanuuaue.

A sound or gesture made by an AMI
NAL under any mental or emotional,
impression and calling out similar
one In another animal Is an element
of language. when the rabbit quick
ly beats the ground. It's fellow rabbits
know that there is danger somewhere,
and they take actlCn accordingly
That Ia rabbit language. When the
hunter initiates the rabbit and thus
conveys the same idea, he is "speak-
ing" the rabbit language for the tlme
being. Many animals use signs, which
of course are understood through the
eyes. The ants converse by touching
antennae and feet Many insects rub
the elytra. This Is animal language
In its simplest form. II expresses but
few ideas. But there are animals
which are capable Of modulating their
voices"
Even the common rabbits, which
seem to be mute, are constantly max
ing sounds, which little observation
will soon discover to be ever changing
in volume modulation, etc. Much OF
this method of communication changes
when the animal is brought into CIV
lizatlon from the wild state. The
wild dog, for instance, barks very lit
tie when in freedom. How the house
hold dog barks and is able to express
himself Is well known.

BOWERS Bible.

It Is eighty years since William
Bowyer put the finishing touch to his
monumental Bible - an anniversary
which is of peculiar interest just
now. Bowyer was a miniature paint
er of fair abilities, who devoted ev'
cry spare hour for thirty years TO
notwithstanding a copy of the Bible
which came into his possession. With
infinite patience and at considerable
cost he collected every drawing, en-
craving, and etching of Biblical sub
jects he could lay hands on, to the
number of 1000. and interleaved his
Bible with them, until the original mod
est book had expanded into forty-four
imposing folio volumes, containing
the work of 600 artists, from Michael
Angelo to Benjamin West. The wori:
was completed in 1924, at total cost
of 4,200 pounds. After his death 1t
figured as a lottery prize, and under
went many vicissltudes before 1t pass
ed into the possession of Mr. Hey
wood, of Bolton, for little more than
an eighth of its original cost. - West.

WHY WOMAN GROWS.

The remarkable increase in woman's
height during the last few decades
having attracted the attention OF ply
sicians, 1t was to be expected that
many and various theories would be
advanced in explanation. Her devo-
tion to outdoor sports, her adoption Of
dress reform, her increased attention
to general hygiene, have all undoubt-
edly had their influence. Although our
young men were never more actively
engaged in athletics than during the
last couple of decades. it is pointed
out that the masculine stature has not
increased proportionately with that OF
women. This leads to the inquiry
whether physical exercise has been
chiefly responsible for woman's grow.
