AN ODD BIRD.
The Kiwi of New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable -Peculiarities.

Remarkable. .Peculiarities.
That queer bird, the kiwi, is a native
Of New Zealand. Its remarkable pc.
culiarities are, first, the apparent ab-
sence of wings, as the plumage so
covers the small, rudimentary, stick
Ike appendage Of wing that none
whatever is apparent The situation
Of the nostrils at the bills extremity
Is a second peculiar feature. While
hunting for earthworms 1t probes the
soft ground, making "a continual snuff.
Ing sound. Thus the scent is evidently
Of great help in finding food and the
reason for the position of the nostrils
quite apparent.
A third popularity is the very dispro.
portionate size of the egg in compari
son to the bird, it being little less
than one-fourth the birds own weight
One kiwi's egg found weighed four
teen and one-half ounces, while the
bird weighed just under four pounds
(slxty-four ounces) and was about the
size of an ordinary hen.
The plumage of the kiwi Is dull
brown streaked with light gray. and
the body resembles a miniature hay
shock, rather badly hacked off at the
rear part as nature has not provided
the kiwi with such decoration as tail
The absence OF wings is compensated
for by its swiftness Of foot, and the
large, clumsy looking legs, which are
sometimes used as weapons, are placed
far back on the oddly shaped body

GODFREYS TANKARD.
a Seventeenth Century Relic of the
Plague In London.

A curious historical relic of London
is the large tankard of solid silver pre-
sented by Charles II. to Sir Edmund
Berry Godfrey for his valuable services
during the plague and the fire of Lon
don, for which he received the honor Of
knighthood in 1866. The tankard,
which is of plain silver, has a hinged
cover and weighs nearly thirty-six
ounces. Its front is engraved with the
royal arms and the crest of the recipi-
ent, together with inscriptions in Latin
and engravings Of scenes connected
with the fire, which are still in excel
lent preservation. The engraving Of
the pesthouse men carrying corpses to
the dismal plague pit and that of the
crowded blocks of houses surmounted
by flames are very quaint and curious
Sir Edmund, who was born In 1921 at
Sellinge, in Kent, was a timber mer-
chant, possessing wharfs at Dowgate
city and at Charing Cross. He prosper
ed, became justice Of the peace for
Westminster and member of parlia-
ment for Winchilsea. In history.as no
reader of Macaulay and Green will
need to be told, his name is most IA
nous in connection with his mysterious
murder, which was popularity attribut.
ed to the zeal with which he had devot-
ed himself TO unraveling the alleged
popish plot. His body was found in
ditch near Primrose hill, face down
ward and penetrated by his own sword,
under circumstances which precluded
the idea of suicide or robbery.
The excitement caused by this still
mysterious event is indicated by the
fact that when the funeral procession
left the city, with great pomp and
pageant, for the burial ground Of st.
Martin's.in-the- Fields, 1t was preceded
by 70 clergy and followed by upward
Of 1000 persons of distinction.

Atomic Dyspepsia.

The ultimate cause of atomic dys-
pepsia is constitutional depression. II
may be due to overwork, and especial
ly to prolonged worry. Sometimes the
dyspepsia is the first manifestation Of
tubercular poisoning. Again, there
seems to be an inherent failure of the
digestive organs. Once established,
dyspepsia is, in turn, the cause of loss
OF strength, Of mental inertia and WIS.,
ceral weakness. Some degree Of sim
pie anaemia is almost inevitable. The
exciting cause may be an illness Of any
kind, the excessive use Of tea, coffee
or other beverages, the lack of proper
food, some error in habits Of eating.
Often 1t Is not discoverable.

THE JAW AND THE TEETH.
What May Happen II We Continue
Using Soft Foods.


The teeth are really appendages OF
the skin, and not of the skeleton, as
people generally believe. The Jaw Is
formed In accordance with the neces-
sity for providing hold for the teeth
that is, If there were no teeth to come,
the jaw would grow differently. and
would not have its present shape. The
jaw is not an independent part, as II
would like to be; 1t has to form itself
to accommodate tenants with which,
strictly speaking, 1t has no ties Of kin
dred.
The use of soft foods decreases the
size Of the teeth, and they will ulti-
mately disappear, unless we make
more use of them.
AS there does not seem to be any
likelihood Of a change in our habits,
we must expect to lose them in course
Of time. Then the jaw will assume
probably another shape. Further. the
gums might disappear, for there can
be no use for them after the disappear
ance Of the teeth.
The loss of the teeth makes the lips
fall in, and brings us near to the Punch
form Of face! We find 1t impossible to
pronounce sounds, such as I, d, sh, ch
The change of face, so to say, will GER
tainly lead to modification of the
tongue, and this in turn to the inability
to pronounce other sounds.

That Was All.

A young girl who is always trying
some new. thing was present once
when the doctor set neighbor's bro
ken arm. She was sure that she knew
exactly how 1t was done and rather
anxious to put her new knowledge into
practice. Some time later n hen out
In the chicken yard broke its leg. The
girl directly announced that she meant
to set it land make 1t as good as

length of time to knit. When the day

Artificial Birds.

In very early times men began to
experiment with view to making
artificial birds and animals that would
Initiate the motions of living creatures,
and If we are to believe the records,
some of the artists in that line were
remarkably successful.
Archytas Of Tarentum. who lived
In the Year 400 B. c., constructed an
artificial pigeon that could fly, but
which was not able to resume Its flight
after once alighting.
John Muller, German Of great me-
chanical skill, constructed an artificial
eagle, which on the entry Of Emperor
Macmillan into Nuremberg flew out
to meet him. and, returning, alighted
on the city gate to await his approach.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Some Facts Which Give an idea of
It's Immensity.

In all the heavens, with the excep-
ton of passing meteors or meteorites,
not one body occupies position closer
to earth than the moon, which is some
240,OO0 miles away - very far, of
course, side by side with any earthly
distances, but a mere fraction side by
side with other astronomical distances.
Next to the moon our nearest occasion
al neighbor is Venus, and then Mars
Both Venus and Mars, however, are
often farther away from us than the
sun, which remains always at some
where about the same distance, rough
ly at from 90,000,0O0 to 93, 100000 miles.
This dividing space between sun and
earth is Of great Importance in think
Ing about the stars, and it should be
clearly impressed upon the mind.
Next to the sun in point of nearness
come the more distant planets-Jupiter,
which is about five times as far from
the sun as our earth is; Saturn, nearly
twice as far as Jupiter; Uranus, near
ly twice as far as Saturn, and Neptune,
nearly three times as far as Saturn. All
these planets belong to our sun, all
are members of his family, all are part
Of the solar system. The size Of the
solar system as whole, consisting
thus of the sun and his planets, includ-
Ing our earth. may be fairly we'll grasp
ed by any one taking the trouble to
master two simple facts. They are
these, that our earth is roughly about
100000 miles away from the sun
and that Neptune, the outermost plan
ct of the solar system, is nearly thirty
times as far distant from the sun as
our earth is.-Chambers' Journal.

RAIN AT HELIX LAST NIGHT.
Suspended Work, But Did Not Dam
age Crops.

NJ. A. Ferguson, editor of the He
lix Herald, has been in the city this
afternoon and reports that heavy
rain fell at Helix last night, but the
storm during the afternoon amounted
to but little.
According to Mr.. Ferguson the
rainfall AT Helix was about the same
as here, judging from appearances
He says no damage was inflicted by
the storm other than that the thresh-
ers have been unable to work today
though they are preparing to COM
mence again in the morning.
