There is a legend TO the effect that
the thorn blooms on Christmas day.
1t is said that st. Joseph of Arima-
ithaca landed near Glastonbury and
stuck his staff in the ground. 1t took
root, grew and blossomed every Christ
mas day thereafter. The tree was
hewn down by a Puritan of the time
of Cromwell, but in doing this deed lie
cut his leg, and chips flying from his
ak blinded him. The trunk, though
separated from the root. grew and
fiOurished, and for many years slips

when the Naturalist Gets q Chance
10 study Him ut Close Range.
For the greater part of the year fear
is the dominant instinct in the life of
nearly every wild bird or mammal
which has to contend with man or
overt enemies of any kind. But with
the periodic revival of the reproductive
functions profound changes occur not
only in the bodily parts, but in the in
stincts which govern their movements
and life. The parental instincts, which
are essential to the generation and
successful rearing of the young, begin
TO assert themselves and by blocking
or supplanting the sense of fear hold
them to the focal pOint-the nest and
later the young-during the period
when parental care and even parental
sacrifice is necessary.
This wonderful parental instinct, or
series of instincts, rises gradually like
q fever, reaches n maximum and then
as slowly subsidies. When at its height
every sense seems to be lost in an all
absorbing passion. This is the time to
approach the wild bird. We can watch
and record with pencil and camera ev-
cry act which occurs at the nest. We
can approach as near as we please and
by aid of the tent are enabled to ana
Iyze in detail the behavior of the same
birds for period of from one to three
weeks.-Professor Francis ii. Herrick
in Harper's Weekly.

slant subject OF scientific and chem
zeal research.
The result is a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen is the very
source OF all vitality, the most essen
tial element of life. Liquozone is a
vitalizing tonic with which no other
known product can compare Its ef-
fects are exhilarating and purifying.
But germs are vegetables; and Liquo-
zone-like an excess of oxygen-is
deadly to vegetable matter.
Liquozone goes wherever the blood
goes, destroying every germ in the
body. In this way it cures diseases
which medicine never cures. 1t will do
more for sick humanity than all the
drugs in the world combined.

The story of Amber.

There is beautiful story to account
for the existence of amber. 1t is that
the sisters of Phaeton. that foolhardy
youth who tried to drive the chariot
of the sun god, wept bitterly at his
death, and their crystal tears fell into
the sea and turned to amber.
The more scientific explanation, IL
not so poetic, is that amber is the fos-
sill resin from prehistoric cone bearing
trees. The wood rots away, but the
resin is preserved in fossil form.
