 "I never thought any animal could run so fast" said Weston, in relating what followed. T don't know how rapidly was going, but the trees shot by like blurred dots and expected every moment to crash into one of them. But no matter how fast I went, that jet-black animal was close at my heels. Once struck an upgrade and he leaped for my back. was expect ing this and warded him off with the snowshoe.

One was that the crust on the lower slope of the mountain might weaken and the other was that I might fail to make the leap across a. 20-foot brook just back of Ezra Woods place. The hill comes down gradually to the water, and knew that would have to keep up an awful speed to clear it. Once on the other side I would be safe.
 How I managed to keep my feet over the next two miles don't know. but did, and when I came to the top of the hill leading to the brook was going like lightning The fisher was laying out like pacer on the home stretch, with tongue hanging and his eyes glassy. He had stopped snarling and was saving his wind for running. But he hadn't weakened a mite I could see the lights twinkling in Ezra's kitchen, and if ever prayed 1t was to get safely to where they were burning.
 "The fisher seemed to know 1t was his last chance, for he redoubled his efforts to get at me and sprang twice. Both times he stumbled, and this helped me, as I was losing speed. I saw big crust drift near the brook to my right and swung toward it, and the next moment was at the top. I gave a little spring, felt myself fly ing through the air, and in another moment had to turn quickly to save pumping into the henhouse close to Ezra's back door. I was too weak to shout or take off the skis, so poled to the veranda and sat down

 One of the questions that naturally presents itself to the inQuiring mind ia whether selective breeding of such artt- fically stained caterpillars wouh not re~ suit In a race in which the colorntion be- came permanent. The fact is clearly es~ tablished that the digestive tube has a marked influence on the silk. AS q French writer declares in green silks is is the cholorphyl of the leaves that Wa observe, and in yellow silks the pigmenk comes directly from the mulberry leawees with which it is identical

OLDEST CLOCK IN ENGLAND.
rected In 1920 In One of the Towers
Of Peterborough Cathedral.

Erected In 1920 In One of the Towers
of Peterborough Cathedral.
Peterborough cathedral has the old
est working clock in England. 1t was
erected about 1920 and is probably the
work of a monastic clockmaker. 1t is
the only one now known that is wound
up over an old wooden wheel. This
wheel is about twelve feet in circum-
ference, and the galvanized cable,
about 300 feet in length, supports a
leaden weight of three hundredweight.
which has to be wound up daily.
The clock is said to be Of much more
primitive construction than that made
by Henry de Nick for Charles V. of
France In 1870. The clock chamber
Is in the northwest tower, some 100
feet high, where the sunlight has not
penetrated for hundreds of years, and
the winding is done by the light Of a
candle.
The gong is the great tenor bell of
the cathedral, which weighs thirty
two hundredweight, and it is struck
hourly by al eighty pound hammer.
The going and the striking parts OF
the clock are some yards apart, com
munication being by a slender wire
The clock has no dial. The time is
shown IN the main wheel of the es.
capement, which goes round one in
two hours.-London Chronicle.

Vegetable Rock Builders.

The vegetable rock builders are found
In the oOze which covers the marine
plants drawn up from the bottom of
the sea. AS shown by the microscope,
they are seen to consist of ZigZag links
or boxes. attached at their ornerS
These vegetable forms, SO minute as to
be invisible to the human eye, have
the power Of secreting the elements
of flint or silica from the water in
which they live. They are very curl
ously marked, and there are many va
rieties of them. 1t will be seen that in
their structure the lines of beauty have
not been forgotten. The city of Ber-
lin was built on an immense bed of the
remains of these minute vegetable
forms, and the unstable foundations of
the houses is due to this fact. They
are so small that one of them is but
the seventy-millionth part of a grain.
They increase by subdivision, one be-
ing capable of increasing to q million
by this process in twenty-four hours.
Their method of building is simply by
living and then dying and leaving their
finty skeletons to form the solid rock.
They block up rivers, give the green
tinge to the Arctic ocean, form a white
stone which has been found in masses
500 miles long and 500 feet thick, and
the clouds of dust which are blown
from h desert are made I'D of thnm.

indictments of Warfare,

There is a story of a privateer's
crew Of forty to fifty men capturing a
Turkish galley with 500 seamen and
soldiers on board by NEAR of a swarm
of bees judiciously thrown among the
u~nspeakable ones. However this may
be, there are enough authentic in
stances Of strange methods Of attack
to provide amply sufficient material
for the casuist in deciding what is fair
and what unfair in war. Burning
naphtha, boiling lead, birds, carcases
of men and horses, Chinese stinkpots,
besides the implements already men
toned, have all been used for offensive
or defensive purposes in actual war
fare.

AFRICA.
The Way That Name Was Bestowed
Upon the Continent.

The Way That Name Was Bestowed
Upon the Continent.
The name Africa was given by the
Roman c%onQuerors, after the third
Punic war, B. G.. 146, to the province
which they formed to cover the terri
tory Of Carthage. 1t was most prob
ably adopted from the word AIRY
gah," the C~arthagenian term for a col
ony.
This original Africa was limited in
extent. Its borders reached, according
to Pliny, from the River Tusca on the
west, which divided it from Numidia,
to the bottom OF the Syrtis Minor on
the southeast, though Ptolemy carries
it as far east as the bottom of the
Great Syrtis, making 1t include Numi-
dia and Tripolitana.
In later days the whole African con
tinent took its name from this part,
which in it's narrower limits CORE
sponded with the modern regency Of
Tunis and was called by the Greeks
Lydia. Africus, the stormy southwest
wind, was so called in Italy because it
blew from Africa.

Stony Cities.

In Jaffa and Jerusalem, as in Malta,
everything is of stone. Even the very
cisterns or tanks on the housetops are
of stone. But in those stony cities the
stone does not stop with the street lev
Ell. The dwellers descend and burrow
into the earth beneath. In many Of
the Jerusalem and Bethlehem build
ings there are easements, subbase-
ments, crypts, s~ubcrypts and dungeons.
One may descend several stories into
the bowels Of the earth amid the damp
ness and slime, where ooZe trickles on
the stone steps.-Argonaut.

Prank of the Lightning.

In 1914 a fishing smack off one of the
Shetland isles was struck by light
ming during a fierce storm. The bolt
first struck the mast, which it splin-
tered completely. 1t then passed to a
watch in the pocket of a man sitting
close to the mast and completely melt
ed it. The man not only was unin-
tured, but he did not know what had
taken place till he took his watch from
his pocket and found it fused into O

them after he had killed the archbish-

In the summer of 12SS UgolinO was
