Falcons-hawks the largest species
can compress their features and look
very slim if they think it necessary to
do so. As to the owls, they can hump
up into any position they think most
suitable. 1t is useless to look for these
self preserving traits in any of the fam
lily kept in geological collections, for
the birds are SO accustomed to see
large numbers of people passing and
repassing or standing in front of them
that they treat the whole matter with
perfect Indifference. They know that
at a certain time their food will be
brought to them and that they are 9TH
erwise perfectly safe. Then the rap
torres in a wild state have a bloom OH
their plumage like the bloom on a
bunch of grapes, which is not often
seen when in captivity.

Red and Green SnnW.

At various times it is recorded that
there has been blood on the face of
the MOON" Some old chronicles tell Of
showers of blood, which, however, are
not well authenticated. The bloody
snow" on the other hand, is an actual
thing. Snow is sometimes found in
polar and Alpine regions, where it lies
unmelted from year to year, and the
annual fall is small, colored red by
the presence of innumerable small red
plants. In its native state the plant
consists of brilliant red globules on a
gelatinous mass. Red snow was OBJ
served by the ancients, a passage in
Aristotle referring to it, but it attract
ed little or no attention until 1760,
when Saussure observed it in the Alps
and concluded that it was due to the
pollen of plant. 1t was also noticed
by the arctic expedition under Captain
Ross on Baffin's bay shore, on range
Of cliffs, the red color penetrating to
the depth Of twelve feet. Less fire.
quent is green growth of snow.
Just imagine these rich colors deco
rating the landscape near our large
cities! Country house parties would
have new attraction which would ap-
peal to the artistic and aesthetic sense.

PainfuI PhotOGraphy.

A resolute young lady of five years
found herself before the photogra
piers camera for the first time, says the
Philadelphia Record. She had been
posed along with the other members
of the family and sat as rigid as Il
flagstaff, her big black eyes fixed with
eagle gaze upon the camera. After the
exposure had been made the Others
moved away, while she sat as still as
a mouse and as brave as a lion, with
every muscle at highest tension, her
legs like two sticks, her hands tightly
crossed. her chest up. the veins in her
neck fairly bursting. She was 50
straight as to almost bend the other
way. Fearing to hurt her feelings by
laughing at the uncompromising ri
gidity of her pose and her searching
stare into the camera, her mamma at
length said, Come, dear, with mann
ma"
The anxious child replied through
her teeth so rs not to interfere with
her pose. NO: amt taken yet"
1t was some moments before she could
be induced to bulge, as she had firm
conviction that there would be some
visible, tangible sign of the taking
Great was her surprise a few days
later when the proof arrived. She had

TO BE AN AWFUL YEAR
The Prophet Of York Predicts
Terrible Things All Over
the World

Lee Spangler, the York. Pa. ,
prophet, has issued his bulletin
of prophecies for 1905 Spangler
sees dire things ahead for Russia
He says in his bulletin:
''Woe unto Russia. She is
fast approaching her doom. The
people will overthrow the empire.
The royal family and the leading
members of the nobility will be
murdered and subjected to worse
crueltieS than they have inflicted
upon the Russian people. The
country will be divided up into
small republics and elective mon
archies, and these will be con
stantly quarreling and in a state
of war until the end of the world
comes in 1908.
The big spot that has ap,
peared upon the sun is ominous.
1t fortells rebellion, peStilence,
and natural catastrophes upon
the earth. The outbreak of rebel
lion in Russia is but a spark. 1t
will be famed into flame that
will sweep over the world.
The United States will not es-
cape. The worst riots in the
history of the nation are to occur
this year. 1t will be a year of
strikes in all the industrial
nations in the world. There will
be much famine, much fighting,
and much woe.'
Spangler further says:
"In literary productions 1905
will be prolific year. The worlds
greatest book of philosophy, ex-
cepting the Bible. of course, will
be written this year. 1t Will be
written by a man who is now OBJ.
Scure and is struggling against
the greatest odds to achieve the
work that God has mapped out
for him."
Spangler predicted the Far
Eastern war and Japan'S victory
over Russia.

A story illustrating the anxiety of

While he was power in the state
man who had been useful to him po-
litically desired to obtain the postmas-
tership in one of the leading cities Of
the keystone State. The man was
small of stature and insignificant look
ing. After his case had been pending
for ten days he became little agitat-
ed and sent a telegram to Senator
Cameron, which read in substance as
follows:
what causes delay in my appoint
ment? Shall come to Washington"
In the course of an hour or so he
received the following characteristic
reply:
mo. Stay away from Washington
at all hazards. The president has prom
ised to appoint you, but if he sees you
he may change his mind"
The applicant wisely remained away

A bachelor whose skill at getting I'D

ty of company in the evenings is re-

rabbit that is free from nightmare He
covers lightly toasted bread with finely
grated cheese and instead of slipping it

been toasted a light brown.
If good cream cheese is used there
is not the slightest suggestion of sog-

whom a rabbit means a night of trou-
bled dreams may indulge in this with
no fear of evil consequences.
The trick lies in the grating of the
cheese. Broken into bits, it would melt

Sharks In Tired Avon River.

Many sharks have appeared the past
few days in the Tired Avon River
While John T. Price, of Easton Point,
was grabbing off Hollyday's Island he
saw nearly a dozen of them, some of
them being Is feet long. They have
been playing havoc with the ''trot"
lines, tearing them in pieces and de-
vouring the crabs upon them. The
sharks have apparently been attracted
to the river by the schools of fish which
recently arrived. and it is an amusing
sight to watch the sharks attack school
of fish and scatter it. 1t is nearly i'm
possible to kill the sharks by shooting,
as the bullets glance off the tough hide,
and an attempt will be made to capture
some of them with seines, as their APP
pearance has seriously interfered with
the fishing and put stop to all bathing
