INCUBATOR ON DESERT.
Birds in Vast Wastes Cool Their Eggs Instead of Giving Them
 Warmth. g

Many . person who has watched . mother robin nestling patiently on her eggs in a blossoming apple tree has wondered how the little creature or her ancestors ever learned that the long process would cause the eggs to hatch. A greater puzzle is set for them, says the author of "The Land of Little Rain. in the great desert, where the same birds have learned to cool their eggs instead of warming them. In the unsheltered nests of the sandy plains it becomes nec- essary to keep the eggs from cooking. One hot, stit1ing spring in the Little An telope a traveller had occasion to pass and repass the nest of a pair of meadow larks located unhappily in the shade of very slender weed The birds were never sitting except at night, but at midday they stood or dropped above the nest, half fainting, with pitifully parted bills, spreading their wings between the sun and the eggs. Sometimes both of them together, with wings spread and half lifted, maintained a spot of shade in terrific temperature Their patience was in this case rewarded, for the cOm- passionate traveller at last spared them a bit of canvas, which she mounted over the nest as a permanent shelter.

JAP COMPANY FOR ARMY.
Majority of Sandwich Islanders Hail from Far East-Are Organizing
 Militia Command.

It may not be generally known that the United States army of the future will include a command of Japanese soldiers, but this is fact, claims the New York Herald. They will not come from the armies which are fighting in the far east, but will be enrolled from our Japanese citizens in the Sandwich islands. It is needless to say that a very large portion of the population of the islands, and especially of Honolulu. is composed of this nation. They are found among the bankers, merchants and professional men. and are included among the wealthiest residents of the city. One of the principal schools of Honolulu is attended exclusively by Japanese children, and here has been enrolled a command of cadets which is to be mustered into the United States militia as soon as it's members. are old enough. It is drilled by former Japan ese army officer, and although organ ized but few years ago, this battalion has already attained high standard of efficiency It is frequently seen on parade in Honolulu and attracts much attention.

ROBERT CROSBY'S
 NERVOUS REGISTRATION.

Batesville, Nov. 24.-Robert Crosby, under sentence of death for the murder of Sheriff Jeff D. Morgan here September 15 last, will be hanged at II o'clock tomorrow. Among the limited number of witnesses at the exc cution will be sheriffs from a number of the counties in this section.
 Crosby is a mere shadow of his former self. Some days ago he refused to eat regularly and only a day or two ago he seemed to be afflicted with a nervous pros tration.
 Batesville has not been the scene of a legal execution since 1879, and tomorrow's event has aroused the usual interest, al- though under the law it can be witnessed by no more than twen- ty-fve persons. Nevertheless there will be a large number of visitors in town.

"SMART SET" AT RAT PITS
Fashionable Society Women at French Resort Enjoy Revolting
 Spectacles.

The latest attraction for the smart set" at Aix-les- Rains, France, is rat pit where fashionable foreigners gather on Sunday afternoons to witness rat and dog fights. At recent fight the grand stand facing the ring was packed with screaming women, who seemed to revel in the proceedings. Inside the wired ring was man who let out so many rats for each dog. Some of the rats were already so feeble that they could scarcely crawl. and had to be kicked toward the dog that killed them. Scores of rats were left half dead, and lay writhing, while the well-dressed sight seers shrieked with excitement. H. V. Barnett, an Englishman, who was pres ent, ventured to protest against the cru city of the affair, and was promptly turned out by the police.

NEED ALL-RoUND EDUCATION
Desire for Physical Development Comes to Parents Slowly-The
 Views of One Mother.

It Is a curious fact that the desire for physical development for their children comes to many parents more slowly than that for intellectual development, says Youths Companion. It is pretty well acknowledged now by everybody-from the illiterate immigrant to the poor white"-that "book-learning" is a good thing for the children. But the schools in England meet the same opposition as those in America when they try to put the development of muscle on the same basis as that of memory. Many school principal has listened to protests sub stantially like that of the good woman who carried her views of education to the grammar school-teacher:
 q want ye to teach me girl readin', writin', and 'rithmetic," said she, "but she ain't t larn amy more of this physical torture. If it's jumpin' she needs, c'n teach her jumpin meself!"
 Presently we shall make good our re- turn to the Greek system, which in- cluded music and gymnastics as essen- tials to education, and so produced a wonderfully balanced creature-with body, mind and spirit in such due pro- portion that no one could overtop the other. The professional athlete, the puny scholar and the religious fecluse are each the result of the separation of one department of education from the others. The symmetrical man is the re- suit of the well-considered union of all the departments.
