Tree. shrink and Expand.

Perhaps 1t Is more interesting than strictly useful to know that the diame- ter of trees not only varies from sum- mer to winter, but from day to day. They are larger from noon until twi- light next morning than from twilight to noon; they are smaller In winter than In summer, Low temperatures, as well as high, promote evaporation. The trees evapOrate from their branches in winter, and so the colder the weather the more they shrink.

Bird EIOCutiOn.

The blue jaw is great eiocutionist
and gives utterance to many unlocked

heard in the woods relates to the COS
session of chee.tidley.enk. Just ex-
actly what sort of a creature or thing
this is no one can tell, but whenever
am in the wood hear the jays exclaim
"chee- ttdlev-enk-got him." To which
the meadow lark in the pasture clearing
replies, "O.so-cheap." with a most sar-
castle drawl on the 50 and an infection
on the cheap. AS rule the meadow
lark says his say while perrhed on a
fence post and he talks with his m outh
wide open There are lot of little PEG
pie in the thickets who are always in
such hurry and talk so fast that it is
difficult to tell what they saw. There is
that gavly .colored little fellow, the red
start, CRYING 'T-wct wee-whee-whr-
whisett," and the dainty summer vel
low bird, who has something to say in
the same line and much in the same

although he never eats it, his constant

ONLY ONE WAY
To Stop The Wholesale Plumber
ing By the Railroads.

The railroad companies admit that
they violate the law by granting re-
bates, but set up the claim that if they
did not do it they would lose their share
of the traffic. 1t is very singular plea.
1t is not half as just as the one that a
man steals because he is hungry, or be-
cause his wife and children are suffering
Tor the necessaries of lille. 1--WE violate
the law because somebody else does"
saw the railroad companies. Suppose
that every criminal would set up the
same excuse for the commission of crime
And ordinary criminals have better
right to make that plea in pallation for
their crime than the trusts and corpora.
tons have. If, as they admit, the rail-
road managers are so dishonest that
one must violate the law because an
other does, If there is no way to restrain
them except to turn the whole matter
over TO them, and permit hem to pool
their earnings so that one theft can
watch the other thieves, it is about time
to abolish the whole system of private
ownership and for the government to
take charge Of the lines of transporta-
ton The railroad companies make out
the worst kind of case against them
selves. They admit that there are
enough law-breakers among them to de-
moralize the whole system.-Buzz'Saw

A Message.

North! To the North-all the robins
are hIeing,
Wild geese and bluebirds proclaiming
the spring,
Down by the brook catkir banners are
flying,
Phoebe and blue Jay attempting TO sing,
Stirs the sweet sap IN the veins OF the
maple,
Heart of the crocus is showing its gold,
Soon blossoms will bourgeon on cherry
and apple,
Sweet secrets of nature in spring time
untold.
North! To the North-all the south
winds are blowing,
Bearing loves message to bird and to
bee,
Loosing the letters that binds the
brooks flowing.
Heart! Wilt thou heed what the wild
things are saying?
Then haste to the lake bordered land
OF the pine,
Soul shall meet soul and forever go
straying,
Through daisy-strewn fields OF eternal
spring time.

Are Animals Sympathetic?

Uohn Burrough in May OUTING

animal except man was capable of sym

pathy, think, is beyond the lower ami
mails. When we sympathize with per-
son we put ourselves in his or her place;
we feel sorry for him; we pity him; we
would gladly alleviate his suffering-all
of which implies more or less imagiua'
ticn and DISTINGUISHED regard. Suscepti-
bility to the sufferings of others is one
of many higher attributes. When sym
pathy was born the race lifted above
the purely animal plane. The next step
is taking the sufferings Of Others upon
yourself, which is the highest form OF al
truism. Pure seishness rules the lower
animals and necessarily so. Sympathy
is not necessary for the continuance OF
the species, but affection tor their Young
is Animals certainly have feeling OF
coinradeship for each other, and expert
ence something like grief at separation,
yet dog or cat OF a horse or COW
will sniff at the body of its dead fellow

tress among the birds will bring every

companion of man that he often shows

The Durian-.A Magical Fruit.

(Caspar Whitney in May Outing)
1t was at the height OF the DURAN sea-
son when all animal kind in Malay. tw o.
legged, and four.legged, is animated bv
an Unsuitable lust for the fruit itself, and
quick to fill with savage anger against
whatever stands in the way OF satisfy
ing its appetite; for not the least re-
markable quality of this remarkable
fruit is the amatory effect it has upon
those who consume it. All during eat
ing, Malay-man and beast--are atiame
with erotic fire. The jungle resounds with
the fighting of love-lorn brutes and the
towns awaken to courtship and indulg-
ence.
The DURAN is about the size of a pine
apple, with a similarly rough outside
covering armed with hali-inch spikes
which are tough and sharp. 1t grows
on trees fully sixty feet in height whose
trunks are bare of limbs except at the
very top, and when the fruit ripens il
ops to the ground. So, as III. 81 a
son approaches, natives erect small
huts under the tree or near By, from
| which they watch for the falling fruit.
| Those who are fortunate enough TO
| have such trees gorw wing on their own
land, practically live on the income de
rived from the sale of the DURAN, for in
the Peninsular market it brings the
highest price OF any Eastern fruit, In
the Jungle edge, where these trees have
no ownership, the race to build the first
interest in the falling fruit, Is equal in
intensity to an Oklahoma land rush;
and in the Jungle the natives must COM
pete also with the wild beasts that
share mans fondness for this extraordi
nary fruit. Once. in the jungle, as sat
smoking, puzzling out some lost selad
ang tracks. falling duran attracted
my attention; the nearby trees seemed
alive with monkeys racing to first reach
the ground. One monkey, that had
been left at the post, so to say, deliber
ately dove from the top OF the tree where
he sat. fully forty feet, into the top OF d
smaller tree below, whence he swung tc
the ground; but. though he beat out the
others, the duran had disappeared. A
SIN II leopard-like creature had sneakeo
off the fruit, and was too absorbed II
watching the aerial flight OF the monkey
to get more than glimpse OF the theft
The troop of monkeys that Instant,
forgathered discussed the situation loud
" aud in very obvious anger.

Do Animals Think?

All GERMANY, just now, is excited over
the accomplish ments OF a wonderful
horse which it's owner sincerely believes
is as well equipped mentally as any
school boy of the same age.
Scientists. pubic men. the high and
low of Berlin have visited the little sta
ble-yard where the Baron Won Osteu and
his young stallion, Hans, hold private
audiences. All are agreed that the horse
does things never before accomplished by
any member OF brute crertion. The
point ii. how?

told in the MAY McClure's. His owner
has spent four years on Hans education

the Baron more than to have it said
that Hans is 'trained'), using the pro.
cesses that are applied to the young
chiluren in the Prussian schools Hans

ton in the three RS" at least; for this
eight-year-old Orloff stallion is seeming
y far higher in the scale of intellect and
education than most OF The inhabitants
of the far-away Russian province from
which he comes.
Commissions have studied MIN in the
painst aking Teutonic way, and though
unanimously agreed that fraud has no
part in Hans performances, they have
not held identical views on the great
question of the horses mental processes
Whether he thinks or merely memories
is still undecided Edward {. Heyn,
who writes about Hans, made his
acquaintance formly in Berlin.
