LOST IN THE AIR.
Birds at Times Get Confused and
Lose Their Bearings.


Boys are frequently lost in the woods,
and II Is a singular fact that birds are
sometimes lost in the air This might
seem strange to almost any one, but
the average man is superficial OBJ
server Of little things.
In the far north, and particularly
along the ocean coasts, birds are fire.
ouentiy storm driven and lose their
bearings, so that many Of them are lost
at sea. They keep floating in the air.
aimlessly striving to live until exhaus-
ton compels them to drop into the al
cry waves, which engulf them.
There Is a well authenticated case on
record of an ocean liner bringing into
New York on a winters day large
white owl which had dropped to one
OF the forward spars in an exhausted
condition more than 800 miles of the
coast of Newfoundland. 1t was near
" dead from cold and hunger and al
most too weak to eat anything. 1t had
become much emaciated and trembled
In its distress when 1t tried to swal-
low the first morsel Of meat which was
placed within its beak. The captain
and sailors were all interested in 1t,
and under their nourishing care 1T
slowly recovered and became entirely
well and healthy and strong. 1t will
ingly remained with the ship after
ward.
II was evidently a land bird which
had heen blown off from the coast OF
Newfoundland by strong west winds,
had become lost, merely drifted be
fore the gales, kept out Of the water,
almost starved to death and made It's
last intelligent effort to reach the ship
and there fell in exhaustion and col
lapse.
Old sailors narrate many other In
stances Of finding birds that have been
lost in the air.-St Louis Republic.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM.

The first chrysanthemum show was
held in Norwich, England, in 1929.
The Philadelphia Horticultural socie-
ty held the first chrysanthemum show
In the United States in 1888
The first chrysanthemums brought to
Europe were taken from China by skip
pers of the tea trading ships.
After the chrysanthemum is potted
leave 1t for a little time in the shade
Then give It all the sun that is possible
The chrysanthemum was introduced
into England 200 years ago from Chi
ma. 1t was grown first in Holland aft
er its emigra ton.
The chrysanthemum is one OF the
easiest of garden flowers to grow, but
1t needs careful tending after II Is
brought into the house in pots when
the frost comes.

It would be impossible for a lawyer
TO make reputation in his profession
while continually thinking about medi-
cine or engineering. He must think
about law and must study and become

The Change of "a Name.

How family names change in the
course of many years Is illustrated by
the conversion OF "Botevile" into
Thyme" An English deed bearing
date in the closing days Of the fifteenth
century shows three brothers then
f1ourishing John Botevile Of Botevile
and Thomas and William Botevile
The trio are distinguished from all 9th
er Boteviles by the explanation "of the
Inne," or family residence, the title to
which had come to their joint posses
sion. Johns grandson was known as
Ralph Botevile-of the-Inne, from which
the transition to Ralph Thyme is easy.
His descendants have been Thynnes
ever since.

A Fish's Appetite.

A singular. instance Of tenacity in the
digestion OF fish is reported from Shelf
ling four feet long, had what appear
ed to be an abnormally hard liver. But
the cutting up process revealed some
thing far stranger. The supposed hard
liver turned out to be nothing else but
n piece OF stout netting, over two yards
long and fourteen inches wide, which
had been pressed into the form Of a
football How this great mass Of IN
Gigestible material came to be swal-
lowed by the creature is a mystery,
and the suggestion that the fish caught
IN the tolls of flshermans net solved
the problem OF how to escape by de-
vouring his prison walls Is not constd-
cred scientifically practicable.
Why Leaves Turn Brown.
The green matter in the tissues Of Fl
leaf Is composed of two colors, red and
blue. When the sap ceases to flow in
the autumn the natural growth of the
tree is retarded, and oxidation OF the
tissues takes place. Under certain con-
ditions the green Of the leaf changes to
red. Under different aspects It takes
on a yellow or brown hue. The differ
ence In color is due to the difference In
combinations Of the original constitu-
ents Of the green tissues and to the
varying condition Of climate, exposure
and soil Naples and oaks have the
brightest color.

President Andrew Kimball, head of the Mormon church in Graham county, is just back from Salt Lake where he went to attend the semi-annual conference of his church. On his ar rival home he was interviewed by the Stafford Guardian. Regarding the joint statehood bill MT. Kimball said this: While in Salt Lake City, I had talk with Senator Shoot of Utah, on the statehood question. Mir. Shoot said we are surely going to be coupled on, that the administration of ficials had made up their minds to dis pose of all the territories, and in his opinion nothing would stop them un- til they had cleared them away. MT. Shoot said he had talked with the president and during the fight that was on before did. all he could to forestall the passage of the joipture bill"
Bisbee daily review., 1905-05-10

J. D. Marian brought to the board of trade room to Phoenix an aifilaria plant about three feet high, well branched and luxuriant. It is only a specimen of the vast acreage of hill and dale in the Cave creek country that is now covered with this fine forage. There are many people, new corners in Arizona. who do not know what alfilaria or "filaree" as the cow boys call it, is, and their curosity will be gratified by calling at the board room and looking at this fine speci- men. It is one of the most prolific and most important range grasses in Arizona and the sustenance in large part, of the Arizona range cattle. By the tenderfoot it really would not be taken for grass at all, for it looks more like large, Jointed weed. II is, however, a delight for the cattle and as long as they like it, it makes no difference whether it is grass or a weed.-Republican.
