feet that the officials OF the NJ, x

extensions out OF Oklahoma City

that an extension would be made
from Oklahoma City just as soon
as the roadbed from this city to
Parsons, Kan, can be placed in
condition for faster service. The
work of ballasting is proceeding
rapidly and when finished the
officials of that system will install
a faster train from Oklahoma City
to Kansas City by two hours than
any other road doing business out
of this city. A portion Of the
Shawnee roadbed will be rebuilt
and this work will be finished be

connected with the officials OF this
system declares that after the first

Bird Songs.

Naturalists have long been puzzled
as 70 how birds learn to sing. Does II
come natural TO a bird OF certain
species to sing the song common to Its
kind or does It learn to initiate what
ever song 1t most hears during the
early days Of It's life7 Experiments
made by a well known student of bird
life proved that most birds simply learn
by imitation. He placed young linnets
to be reared by skylarks, woodlarks
titlarks and other breeds, and In every
case the linnet learned the song Of bis
foster parents. Again, a number Of lin.
nets were reared where they had no
chance of hearing the song OF any
bird at all. In due course they began
to sing, but their song was entirely
original. The cuckoo, however, seems
to be an exception, for although II Is
almost invariably reared by foster
parents of any species but It's own,
1t always sings TO perfection It's own
peculiar song. quite uninauenced by
the vocal efforts OF It's guardians.

The Under side OF Fish.

Experiments have been made with
founders In order TO determine whether
the whiteDess OF the under sides OF
those fh is due 70 the exclusion OF
light, and the presence Of color on their
upper sides to exposure to light. The
Ash experimental upon were kept hv-
Ing In a glass tank. having a mirror
placed beneath, so as to reflect light
upon the under sides Of the fish. One
Of these prisoners survived for three
years under conditions so strangely diff
ferent from IT'S ordinary habits OF life,
end al Of them exhibited the develop
ment Of spots of pigment on their lower
surfaces. The experimenters conclud-
ed that II Is exposure 10 light that
causes the coloration OF the upper
parts Of the bodies. not only Of foun-
ders, but Of other Ash. and, conversely,
that It is TO the comparative absence
Of light that the whiteness of under
sides of fish Is due. They extend the
same principle to explain the colorless
condition Of the skins Of many animals
that pass all their lives In caves~

The Poodle.

Why is a poodle, so called? Some
one says: Probably the natural an
swer would recall the old lady who
said that no credit could be given
to Adam for naming the pig, since
anybody would have known what to
call 1t. Poodle seems 30 obvious q
name for this dog. And, In fact, this
is not far from the truth about the
origin OF the word. 1t is quite recent
In English, not being found before
1854, apparently. 1t is the German
'pudel.' which comes from the Low
German, 'pudeln' TO waddle. and the
dog must have been 50 called, as Skeat
says. either because he wadd!es after
his master or because lie looks fat and
clumsy on account OF his thick bair."

particularly sensitive. In the expert
ments made brush dipped In various

Precisely why the town Of Bonifacio,

the place. that there IS plenty OF room
for the town to have spread out In an
inland direction. The early Corslcans
apparently thought that farm land WAS
worth more than city real estate and
SO crowded their dwellings to the dizzy

CoIdness of Ice.

II seems strange to think that some

ice cold always seems to signify a
definite temperature. All water under
similar conditions freezes at certain
definite temperature. But when the
thermometer falls below that 1t con-
tinues TO affect the ice. making 1t hard
er and colder. The test has been made
by placing a piece Of ice from the
north and a piece of ice formed in the
vicinity of New York near a stove TO-

to melt than the latter.-New York
