ANIMALS WANDERINGs.
Rats the Most Migratory-Lemmings'
Race With Death.
From the London Answers.


The fable of the country mouse and the
town mouse has foundation in fact Mice
occasionally migrate in large numbers when
rood grows scarce, and travel considerable
distances to fresh houses. Farmers in a
part or Pertshire had a good reason to be-
come aware of this fact when, a couple Of
years ago, vast swarms of mice invaded
their cornfields at harvest time
But the mouse only travels when 1t has
TO- The rat, on the contrary, seems to take
a yearly outing, in very much the same
fashion as human beings do. Rats are the
most migratory creatures in the world
Whole troops of rats leave the towns at the
END OF summer and spend a month or two
In the country, apparently in order to enjoy
the change of food which the country az
fords at that time of the year in the way
of fresh fruit and grain. Before the cold
weather sets in they are all back In their
old quarters.
Reindeer migrate with the same regu-
larity as swallows. They move south when
winter sets In. but as soon as ever the snow
begins to melt they travel steadily north
sometimes for as much as thousand miles
To end holiday by deliberate suicide is
so strange a phenomenon that for a long
time naturalists looked upon the stories of
the migration of the Jennings is an i'm
probable fiction. Yet the facts are beyond
dispute. At irregular intervals these rat
like creatures start out from their homes
In the Businesses of Northern Scandinavia
In huge droves, numbering tens of thou
SANDS, and travel steadily southwark
Death pursues them in a hundred FORMS
Hawks and other birds of prey hover above
them. Foxes, wolves and man decimate
them. Thousands are drowned in rivers
Yet the rest struggle on until they reach
the sea. They do not stop. They plunge in,
swim out and struggle on, until at last their
strength fails and they drown. Not one
ever returns from this journey of death.

Geography and Culture.
From the Springfield Republican

FROM the Springfield Republican.
1t has been often remarked how much the
various wars of the past ten years have
educated the people In geography. South
eastern Europe, South Africa, the West In
dies. the China coast, Japan, Korea and
Siberia have in their turn been discover
ed by millions of people who had previous
ly entertained very hazy notions as to their
existence on the face Of the earth Yet.
rather singularly, there are more COM
plants today concerning the ignorance of
geography among all classes, high and low,
than ever before.
The universities colleges and schools are
under more criticism than hitherto for their
alleged failure to give to geography, broad
ly considered, its proper place in their
courses of study. year or two ago Mr.
Bryce delivered an address before a geo
graphical society in England, in which he
emphasized the Importance of geography
in any scheme Of education or culture Lord
Salisbury, not long before he died sur
prised his countrymen by saying that many
of their misconceptions concerning inter
national questions originated in the mis-
leading scales of the maps of different
countries and continents. 1t needs but
moments reflection, indeed, to be convinced
that while people in general have lately in
creased their stock of geographical knowl-
edge, owing to these sensational wars and
the closer jostling of the nations, we have
only begun to realize how ignorant we are
concerning the earth we live upon.

Humor in Heraldry.
From the Smart Set.


Speaking of heraldry in America, Mr.
Cussans calls attention to a fact which
may be verified seven days in the week
by walk along 9Th avenue; how among
the passing carriages he noticed many
which bore arms to which the owners had
no right. while an equal number bore mono
grams where crest or coat-of-arms might
justly have been blazoned. He goes on to
quote an anecdote told by Mr.. Champion.
who was once British minister at Washing
ton. 1t seems that he imported brougham
from England, and on visiting a carriage
builder some time later found a miscel-
laneous collection of vehicles ornamented
with his own arms. On making inquiries he
learned that several citizens who liked
the pattern had had 1t copied.
Few Americans would recognize the de-
scription, "A shield argent, charged with
six pallets gules; on a chief azure, thirty
eigh. stars of the first" as the emblem of
the United States one of the most simple
and beautiful of all emblems. Simplicity,
nevertheless, is not leading feature in all
American arms. For instance the only
possible way to blazon the arms of Kansas
would be as follows: 1.-TWO OK teams and
wagons between a man blowing in sinister
foreground, and Indians hunting buffalo In
dexter middle distance; on sinister a dou-
ble-funneled and hurricane-deckeds steamer;
behind mountains in distance, sun rising
on sky in half circle; thirty-seven stars; all
proper. Motto, Ad astra per aspera."

cumb to ordinary diseases or to chills.
White globes which dissipate the rays and
spread them more uniformly, make the
plants grow steadily and satisfactorily. But
the yellow globes so far have given the
best satisfaction, while blue ones appar-
entity neutralize the whole effect of the
electric light.
Electricity is not life, but 1t stimulates
life in plants. Its adaptation may yet rev.
olutionize horticulture In our home lighted
by electricity the conservatory becomes an
experimental garden We modify the lights
with shades suited TO the needs Of the diff
ferent potted plants. The sick ones are re-
vived by course in electric therapeutics.
The pots are placed near the incandescent
or arc lights according to the amount Of
light and stimulation they need, and under
their powerful influence they revive and
their diseases are destroyed.
The disease producing insects cannot
stand the fierce glare of the electric light
placed within few feet Of them. They at
tempt to hide beneath the leaves or in the
stems, but the light penetrates all, dislodg-
ing or destroying them. The powerful
white rays are so destructive to insect life
that course of electric therapeutics is now
used instead of poisonous sprays in labora-
tories to cleanse the plants.
In the homes where the electric light can
not be used the employment of ordinary
sunlight, magnified and modified by glass
and mirrors, is made possible. The anna
teur flower grower will find the sunlight
susceptible of considerable change and ma
nipulation. First, the exclusion of all white
rays by covering the windows with red
glass or red curtains is important. The
powerful rays directed on the plants slim
late and then destroy, driving away the in
sects.

Arizona's Humane Protest.
1 the riznna Rennhlican


When moneyless consumptives are sent to
Arizona criminal wrong is inflicted upon
them and a gross outrage Is perpetrated
upon the country to which they are sent
1t is a notorious fact that large numbers Of
men and women in the last stages, of con-
sumption are each year sent to Arizona and
California with the delusfye hope held out
to them that they can get well, when moth
ing can even prolong their days. Many Of
them have barely enough means to reach
their destination. nE a T
Although the patient.,if in hopeless con-
dition, rarely realizes his situation, 1t re-
quires merely an intelligence above the line
of stupidity for any doctor to recognize the
facts. Nor is the average physician ignor-
ant of his patients financial status. When,
therefore, eastern doctors condemn fatal
sufferers to a heartbreaking exile among
strangers, and In addition send them to die
In a strange land without money, the GRIM
inal cruelty of the act cannot be adequately
described.
The conclusion is forced upon Arizona OBJ
servers that there are some doctors in the
states who would be mildly punished II they
could be afflicted with consumption in its
last stages and then lured forth by delusive
advice to die thousands Of miles from home
and loved ones.

TIDAL WAVE AT HAINING.
Watching the Great Bore as It Passed
on the Chinese Coast.
From the Shanghai Times.

We anchored that night at Haining
Tuesday morning early was somewhat
overcast but by breakfast time the sun
was shining and tine sky was blue for
miles. Then we made preparations for
seeing the midday bore. There was a de-
mand for field glasses, watches were COM
pared and a memo book and pencil were
all in readiness. From the boat TO the
bore, or where the bore was shortly to put
in an appearance, was a walk of quarter
of an hour.
The water Immediately in front of us
presented a most peculiar appearance. 1t
was running the opposite way to which
the bore was to approach. at racing
speed, and every now and again in differ
ent places there seemed to be a meeting
of the waters, not harmonious one
either, for every now and again waves
would appear which resembled the track
of a switchback. These created a roaring
sound and would then die away and others
would appear in other places. The water
seemed to be convulsed with eddies and
currents.
After a short interval a shout went up.
Il can see it," and at once all eyes were
turned in the direction of the bore. which
presented just q white streak against the
distant hills. 1t was first seen at 1:4J
am. Then further out to sea another
white streak was visible which gradually
increased in size till a few minutes later
these two bores met We watched in
tossing and foanaing 1t raced toward us.
The scene seemed uncanny.
In front of us the water was calm, on
shore all was peaceful. What demon of
the deep had dashed the sea into such a
seething, boiling vortex that, with break
neck speed eight feet of water extending
for miles, headed by roaring, foaming
waves, was rushing headlong as IL TO take
vengeance on something that had escaped
It's clutches? The great mass of water
passed us at 1915 and those of our party,
after talking the matter over, came to the
conclusion that the extreme height of the
bore was about eight feet. 1t passed us
in the shape of crescent.
have written that the day bore seemed
uncanny, but ii was nothing TO that of the
night. The surroundings shortly after mid
night our party of seven strained their
eyes and ears to see and hear the bore
were ghostlike. 1t was not till 1925 that
we first saw the enormous wall of foam
capped water tearing onward as If life and
death were in the balance. Just as ii ap-
peared the moon shone in all its grandeur.
/ defy any brush to paint or pen to de-
scribe those few minutes as the water
approaches, passes and continues on its
mad career. 1t passed us at 1925 and was
much higher than at midday. The living,
seething whirlpool which followed IL we
estimated showed rise of fifteen feet, and
awe inspiring was the foam-crested
wave which led the van, the sight of the
great body of water which followed could
not but make lasting impression on one.

ROSES TINTED BY LIGHTS.
Strong Arc Rays Turn Them to Purple
or Black.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Flowers that bloom today exceed all ere
atoms of nature. Violets are doubled anu
tripled in size. A race of pansies has been
raised up to measure two inches across
their faces. Red roses have been turned
into purple and black and white ones into
all the colors of the rainbow. Rose bushes
have been converted into trees and vines,
bearing flowers in clusters, like grapes.
Chrysanthemums have been made to bloom
like sunfiowers, and lilies and tulips have
been raised in darkness and light, so that
their original characteristics were almost
totally obliterated.

tory the electric light arc creates trans

GIRLS INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Germany is Leader in Bettering the
Woman Toiler's Condition.
rom the Chicago Record Herald


The steady drift of women into the IN
dustries no longer evokes jeremiads from
moralists and theorists. The energy ex-
pended in "deploring' the presence of wo-
men in the industries is now being diverted
to a betterment of the conditions under
which they work The disposition is to
recognize the woman toiler as the proouct
of social and economic conditions, present.
ing problems that must be solved for the
highest interests of society and the state.
In the work of meeting these conditions
intelligently and humanely we may get
many valuable lessons from the Industrial
schools of Germany, which are described
in a recent report by Mr.. Meyer, the United
States deputy consul at Chemnitz To meet
the demand for opportunities of employ
ment for unmarried women in Germany
there developed in the early days OF looo
private commercial schools at stuttgart,
Munich, Leipzig, Berlin and elsewhere, anu
these were soon followed by the founding
of still broader industrial schools, known as
the Lette-Verein, in which opportunities are
given for the study of different trades
adopted to women, and In which are spe-
cial schools of photography. Among the
trades taught are machine sewing, tailor
ing linen sewing, millinery, washing, IRON
ing cooking. nursing, serving, domestic
economy, art, embroidery and ornamental
The success of the Lette-Verein led to the
foundation of many other organizations IN
behalf of the laboring women of Germany,
among them being the Alice-Verein, Darn
stadt and women's industrial associations
at Bremen, Hamburg, Breslau, Reutlinger
Karlsruhe, Dresden, Braumschwelg, kas-
sell Hanover, Frankfort and konigsberg.
Saxony the greatest seat of German IN
dustry, employing the largest percentage OF
women in proportion to population, had
twenty-f four special trade schools, and four
teen general industrial schools for girls IN
1889.
In addition to the industrial schools and
quite different in character are the schools
of domestic science, in which young women
are taught cooking and other duties per-
tanning to the home. These schools were
founded to check the tremendous TIDE or
young women toward the work shops and
factories, and their remarkably rapid
growth attests their success and value.
= The value and effectiveness of these
schools in promoting the Industrial well
fare of German women in the Improvement
of the home have been recognized in gen.
erous increase of government subsidies and
in liberal endowments from private sources

Why So Few PrisonersP
on Christian Register.

From the Boston CnIlsIlaH htgister.
That the war now going on in the east IS
fierce beyond the precedent of any modern
war is suggested by the small number of
prisoners taken. In many engagements ap-
parently no quarter is asked or given. The
combatants fight to kill as well as to con-
quer. We hear of no prison camps nor of
any great concourse of prisoners anywhere.
Out of all the hundreds of thousands of men
engaged on both sides we do not know that
there are 5000 anywhere taken from either
side. We have no evidence that wounded
men are killed on the field of battle but
that the number of killed far surpasses the
usual ratio between killed, wounded and
prisoners seems evident. 1t may be that
the policy of thorough-going slaughter is in
the end quite as merciful as more humane
methods would be, the object being to put
out of action as quickly as possible the
greatest number of fighting men. 1t may be
also that the savagery of this conflict will
cause of reaction against all war.

HARD RIDING IN NORTHWEST.
Halfbreed Who Made 100 Miles in Ten
Hours.
rom the Seattle Post intelligencer.

From the Seattle Post-intelligencer.
you people who came here since the rail-
roads were built have an idea that we used
to have a bad time of it in getting about
Washington territory said the old timer
the other day. That's where you are
wrong. Distances were no greater than
they are now. True, we didn't always go so
fast as you do now, but we made speed that
would astonish you.
II remember one trip an old friend of
mine made, a big cattle man from Kittitas
county, afterward the owner of considerable
property in Seattle. His divorced wife was
living here, and she took it into her head
to go after him through the courts for nom
payment of alimony. There were number
of reasons why he shouldn't pay, but he
didn't care to stay here and argue 1t out
with the court, SO getting a tip on what was
doing, he decided to go back to the cattle in
Kittitas. About 6 O'Clock one evening, &C
companied by his horse wrangler, who hap
pened to be here with him. he struck out
horseback for Ellensburg. The two rode all
night-it was in midsummer and at the full
of the moon-and the next morning they ate
breakfast in Ellensburg-11O miles away.
And they didn't think 1t was much of ride
at that.
Rides? Why, could talk all day about
rides in those days. One Of the best ever
done in the territory, however, was that by
young halfbreed during the Nez Perces
uprising of 1877. When Joseph went out
with his band one of the first things they
did was to cut the military telegraph be-
tween Fort Lapwai, up the Clearwater river
from Lewiston, and Walla Walla. Fort Lap
wal wanted to send dispatches to Gen How
ard at the post at Walla Walla, and want
ed to send them bad. At that time nearly
all the Indians on the reservation had
halfbred or at least one pretty good horse
in his riding string. This particular young
halfbreed boy had an extra good one, and
he was selected to carry the dispatches.
1oiy, 1faIJ
he rode through to Walla Walla In ten
hours, distance of 100 miles and during
the ride he never slowed down from a
gallop. That was in midsummer and if
you ever have been in that Snake river re-
g1on at this season of the year you can
imagine that was some riding"

The North Star and Dipper.

From Country Life In America.
The pole star is really the most important
of the stars in our sky; it marks the north
at all times: 1t alone is fixed in the heavens;
all the other stars seem to swing around IL
once in twenty-four hours. But the pole
star of Polaris Is not very bright one and
1t would be hard to identify but for the help
of the so-called pointers in the big Dip
per- or Great Bear" The outer rim of the
dipper points nearly to Polaris. at a dis
lance equal to three times the space that
separates the two stars of the d.pper's outer
side. Various Indians called the pole star
the Home Star" and THE Star that Never
Moves" and the dipper they call the
Broken Back" The Great Bear Is also to
be remembered as the pointers for another
reason. 1t is the hour hand of the wood
mans clock. 1t goes once around the north
star in about twenty-four hours, the re-
verse way of the hands of a watch: that Is.
II goes the same way as the sun, and for
the same reason-that ii is the earth that is
going and leaving them behind.
