The Art of IGIinx.

Cultivate the art Of idling. There is
no doubt that to be able to idle at will
is a most valuable gift and one which
is becoming rarer every day. The art
Of loafng is not properly understood
by the majority of people. Much has
been written on the subject. Steven
son dealt with it in an essay; Mr..
Kenneth Grahame touched on it in
Pagan Papers," and Mr.. Barry Pain
has some Illuminating remarks on the
subject in his Canadian canoe book.
There is & subtle difference between
the views of these experts. Mr. Ora
hame advocated absolute idleneSS.
Mr. Pain pointed out, with more truth,
that the great art of lOafing was to do
the easiest thing and that sometimes it
is easier to work than to be idle. This
is the secret of the whole matter. The
superficial idler thinks it his duty to
be idle on every occasion. The man
who has studied the subject knows
that this is an entirely erroneous
view. There are times when we feel
that we must be up and doing. If we
sternly repress this inclination our
peace is disturbed. The really scien-
tific idler is the man who can idle at

The Rhinoceros Bird.

Among the birds not commonly found
Is the rhinoceros bird, from the Trans

It's habits are remarkable and it's plum
age unusual. Small flocks accompany
most of the large antelopes, the buffa-
Ices and the rhinoceroses in South AT
RIGA and run all over the creatures
bodies, picking off flies and insects.
When an enemy approaches the buffet
pikkers sit in line with heads raised
on the back of the animal they are at

plumage is curiOusly close, uniform and
compact, so much so that the bird has
an artificial look as if covered with
painted satin and not with feathers.
The general tint of the body Is CHINA
mon brown, with yellow beak and legs,
giving the color effect of a brown and
yellow iris.

'The history of the typewriter is in
teresting," said an inventor. 1.-The first
patented machine was Henry Mills.
It was as big as a bureau and made no
popular appeal This was in England
in TIA. The first type bar machine
was made in America. It's inventor
was A. III. Beach. The patent was
taken out in 1856. The Beach type
writer was not practical. The first
practical typewriter was invented by
Latham Sholes in 1867 Sholes had for
partners S. w. SOule and Carlos Gid
den, but these two men became dis
couraged and dropped out. It wasn't
till some years later that Sholes got his
machine ready for the market. Then
he took it to a big firm of gunmakers,
the Remingtons, and it at once began
to sell ON a large scale. ShOles re-

The resin of the shoemaker and fid-
dler is obtained from different species
of the fir Treas the ScOts fir, the
larch and the balsam fir of Canada. 1t
is we'll known that a resinOus juice
exudes from these trees, which hardens
into solid tears. The clear juice itself,
before it has dried up by coming to the
surface, is known in commerce as tur-
pentine and is in the main composed Of
oil of turpentine and resin. When the
juice is distilled, the oil comes over,
and the resin remains behind. When
the distillation is carried on to dryness,
common resin is formed, but when
water is mixed with it while yet fluid
the resulting mass is the variety called
yellow resin, which is more preferred
for most purposes because it is more
ductile than the former, owing prob
ably to it's containing some oil.

Moon Heat.

Many people suppose that moonlight
possesses great potency and has won
derful influence on or over animate
and inanimate things on our planet.
Such persons should remember that
moonlight is only reflected sunlight
and that the quality and quantity Of
the light thus reflected are not what is
generally imagined. In fact, it is a
truth which has often been demonstrate
ed by the speculative astronomers that
it would take 61S,000 full moons to
afford an amount of light equal to that
emitted by the sun, and, furthermore,
there is only sky space for 10000 such
disks Some heat comes from moon
light. However, it is in quantities so
small that it cannot be measured by
ordinary instruments. Flammarion
says that the amount of heat emitted
by full moon while at its zenith can
not be more than one eighty thou
sandth of the amount that the sun sup
plies when standing on the meridian
on favorable day in July. Such be-
ing the case, it Is really surprising
that intelligent people should consider
that the moon has such wonderful
influence" over terrestrial affairs.

never to buy new spade. To dig a
