Young Friends Fixed Up a Bug for

Miss Daisy Letter has brought
back from London a story about
Charles Darwin, reports the New
York Tribune.
1.-TWO English boys" said Miss
Letter, being friends Of Darwin,
thought one day that they would
play a joke on him. They caught
a butterfly, a grasshopper, a
beetle and a centipede, and out Of
these creatures they made a
strange, composite insect. They
took the centipede's body, the but,
terfy's wings, the grasshopper's
legs and the beetles head and
they glued them together careful
ly, Then, with their new bug in
a box, they knocked at Darwin's
door.
"'We caught this bug in a field
they said. Can YOU tell us what
kind of a bug it is, sir?
Darwin looked at the bug and
then he looked at the boys. He
smiled slightly.
"gDid it hum when you caught
it?' he asked,
eyes, they answered, nudging
one another.
"Then,' said Darwin, lit is a
humbug.'n

A discovery Of great archaeological
interest has been made at Cheddar,
England. In the course OF cutting a
trench for drainage purpose through
a bed of c|ave-earth, the skeleton of a
man of great antiquity was excavated.
Although the skull could only be re-
moved in pieces, it was possible to de
termine that i was that of a man OF a
period intermediate between the paleo'
lithic and neolithic ages. The bones
of the leg exhibit the characteristic
fl 4ttening peculiar to those of that
period. The frontal bOne OF the skull
is thicker than that of the present day,
while wei the eyes a decided boss of
bone demonstrates that the bfows
we're very prominent. Judging rom
the size of the skeleton, the height of
the man was about 3 feet, 3 inches.
In close proximity were found several
flint flakes and knives.

Ostrich Farm at the Fair.

An ostrich farm with a drove of
sixty birds averaging from $50 to $50
pounds is a Worlds Fair feature.
The birds are from a Southern Cal
ifornia ranch. At the ostrich farm
everything pertaining to these ornitho-
logical giants is explained to the
visitor, the characteristics of the birds,
how the magnificent plumage is pro-
duced, how they raise their young,
and many other interesting facts are
shown.
The height of the sixty birds on the
ostrich farm varies from ten to eleven
feet. They are coming into plumage
and already give evidence OF The rare
plumage that will develop rapidly from
now on. The black birds are the
males, the browns the females. Both
produce the ostrich plume OF CON
merce, but the male is the richer.
Twenty-four plumes are grown under
each wing every nine months. The
average age of an ostrich is 80 year
and the bird reaches maturity at three
years. A strange characteristic OF the
bird is that the female mates but once
10 a lifetime. Should her mate die
the mother bird remains minated till
death. The male ostrich is not so
constant.
The ostrich produces 80 10 So eggs
a year. Matching requires AZ days
The eggs weigh from So to 4 pounds.
and equals 80 hen eggs. The NAL,
and female birds occupy the nest it
turn. each covering the eggs for &
period of twelve hours. The chicks
when Matched are about the size of 9
spring chicken. After three days they
are obliged to forage for themselves
The young grow on an average a foo
a month for the first six months, th'
measurement being taken 10 the top o
the head. Ostrich farmers use tn,
incubator almost altogether, an averag,
of 40 to As chicks out Of 80 eggs being
secured; while natures process pro
duces only an average OF 25 chicks 4,
every 90 eggs.
q The brain of an ostrich is the small
g est of any creature relative to us size
1t can be placed in a teaspoon. Th
weapon OF the ostrich is his foot. TIL
force of a kick from one is equal t
that of q horse or mule.
"Black Demon" is the king Of tn
ostrich farm. He is one of thre
ostriches broken to harness. He pull
a 65 podnd sulkey half a mile in on
minute and three seconds. The drive
weighs 1872 pounds. "Black Demon

WOMEN AS DOG FANclERs
There Are Many Organizations Of the
Fair Sex to Encourage
Kennel Shows.

1t is remarkable what a wide
spread interest there is in dog.
dom all over the United States
with a circuit of bench shows ex.
tending from Boston to Portland,
Ore. The greatest snow o. al, Of
course, is the annual of TIE West.
minister Kennel club in Madison
Square Garden, a show which not
so many years ago was considered
fortunate to have 1000 entries
while this year there we're up
wards of $500 entries, writes J. J.
Mcnamara in the Illustrated
Sporting News. While the spe.
cialty clubs have accomplished a
great deal toward promoting the
general welfare of the canine race,
no small amount of the credit for
the recent increase in the popular
it of bench shows is due to wOm-
ans influence. Society women
who until recently did not take an
active interest in the showing Of
dogs in the ring, have now fairly
caught the craze. The two most
important factors in creating this
feminine interest have been the
Ladies' Kennel Association Of
America and the Ladies' Kennel
Association of Massachusetts.
The former holds a yearly spring
show at Hampstead, Long Island,
and last autumn it had the cOur.
age to hold an indoor show at
Madison Square Garden. The La.
dies Kennel Association of Mas.
sachusetts, although longer in ex-
istence than it's sister club in New
York, has never held a show of its
own, but it will inaugurate a dis.
tinctiyely woman's show, to be
managed entirely by members,
next June at the BroOkdale farm,
Baintree, Mass, the home of the
New England Kennel club. AL
though ladies' kennel clubs are
very popular in England, this new
department for women in this
country is of but cOmparatiyelyre
cent origin. 1t was in 1897 tha-
, the idea of the Ladies' Kenne
club was first suggested by Harr!
w. Lacy at a dog show that yea
in Madison Square Garden, and il
the following year a party of eigh
Boston ladies who had for som,
time taken a deep interest il
bench shows and the breeding o
dogs held an informal meeting
which led to the formation of thu
L. X. A. of NJ, which has the dis
tinctiOn of being the the first la
dies kennel club ever establishes
in this country. Later on the La
dies Kennel Association of Amer
lea was formed, and now both o
these clubs exercise a very benef
cial influence at bench shows al
I over the United States.
The primary object of each clul
is to encourage women to person
ally show their own dogs in tn,
ring, and, with this object in view
valuable special prizes are donat
Y ed to the different bench show as
sociations, which makes it WORT
k while for ladies to own, breed ant
exhibit their dogs.
