is, and always has been, the mean

practice, but, because the rest have
gone wrong, the editor in question
won't do so any longer. His refor-.

practice, the business to go in as

SILVER MINES.

The process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very interesting.
1t must be remembered that the earths
crust is full of water, which percolates
everywherethrough the rocks, making
solutions of elements obtained from
them. These solutions take up small
particles of precious metal which they
find here and there.
Sometimes the solutions in question
are hot, the water having got SO far
down as to be set boiling by the in
ternal heat of the globe. Then they
rush upward, picking up the bits Of
metal as they 60. Naturally heat
assists the performance of this oper-
alton.
Now and then the streams thus
formed, perpetually flowing hither
and thither below the ground. pass
through cracks or cavities in the rocks,
where they deposit their lodes Of sill
yer. This is kept up for great length
of time perhaps thousands of years
until the pocket it filled up.

ORUMM1HG OF RUFFED GROUSE.

Few subjects have been so much
discussed by sportmen as the whistle
of the woodcock and the drumming
of the ruffed grouse. To the latter
sound much mystery has always at
tached. The dull roll of thunder
comes out of the air from a distance
in the depth of the forest, and excites
the wonder of the. listener, but its di-
rection and its distance seem So nm
certain that he is not likely to try to
find it.
Few persons have seen the bird in
the act of drumming, and of those few a
still smaller number have been train
10 observe the ways of nature or to
draw Just conclusions from what they
may have seen. Nevertheless, many
people-some observers and some
mere theorists-have expounded their
views on the subject. 1t has been
declared that the grouse drums by
beating his wings against the object
on which he stands, against his own
body, or against each other above the
back but none of these have salts
fed all the conditions and all are to
be rejected.
In this year of 1905, however, Prof.
c. F. Hodge, of Clark University car
ried on series of observations on his
domesticated ruffed grouse which
point to another explanation, and
which appear to show that the sound
is made by the rapidly repeated blows
OF the stiff wing quills against the
erected and expanded feathers CT the
side which thus forms feather
cushion.
Prof. Hodge says: In fact, the
sound, so far as quality goes, can be
best initiated by stricking with wing
properly stretched or even a concave
fan on an extremely light eiderdown
cushion" Prof. Hodge conjectures,
too, that the birds while drumming
fills the air sack of the breast and
abdomen. In this way the contour
surfaces of the strong wing supports
along the sides are made to enclose a
large cavity filled with air aud this
acts like the resonace chamber of a
drum, and yields the booming throb
to the air.
Prof. Hodge believes, as has long
been agreed, that the drumming OF the
ruffed grouse is mating call. The
fact that the bird drums in autumn is
no valid objection to this conclusion,
since many birds produce in autumn
sounds which we are accustomed to
regard as peculiar to the breeding
season, though such sounds are often
or usually made by young birds

NO CHARGE FOR INSECTS.


Anent the curious habit of that
famous naturalist, Francis 7. Buck
land, who was usually accompanied
on his travel by his pet monkey, the
following story is told:
At a certain railway station the nat
uralist applied for ticket for the
animal. The man at the booking Of
fee went carefully over his schedule
of charges for animals.
"Cows is cows" quoth he; land
SO is donkeys. Cats is Cats, aud
fowls is likewise. Sir, that'll have
to go as a dawg," pointing to the
monkey.
well, what will this go as 7"
laughed the naturalist, pulling live
tortoise from his pocket.
AS to this the schedule did not at
ford any information, and the clerk
turned in scoFn from its perusal.

TO MARY.

when Mary sings, her pretty self
Is changed from toe to crown;
She twists her mouth and Tits her head
And teeteTs up and down.
When Mary snores. her placid face
Shows calm. reposeful rest.
And not a wave of trouble heaves
Across her peaceful breast.
The sound on each occasion made
OF equal merit ranks.

And we decline with thanks.
And that is why we here suggest

WOMAN AND WEDDING Day

Folklore of Women, "a bride on her

once robbed of all the pins about her
dress by her single friends around her,
from the belief that whoever possess

course of year.
Similarly, the Germans have a
custom of throwing a brides shoe
among the guests at a wedding, the
person who succeeds i'll getting it

the many other customs associated
with the brides shoe may be mention
