was oval. In the terrible journey
away from the SUI to the far end of
the ellipse the hemisphere turned
away from the source of light, and
kept accommodating more ice and snow
The brief summers failed to melt if
and so the great ice cap was formed
and it's duration we now call the Ice
Age. 1--WE are a long way from the
last Ice Age" Sir Robert added, "and
it is equally certain that another Ice

know that we need not expect it for
more than 200, 900 years"

 Easter Day was bright and warm. even in chilly New England, where spring is sometimes so. late that she forgets to come at all. Bessie went to church with papa in the morning. The canaries in their gilt cages hanging amid the greenery, and singing sweetly, made the service something to be re- membered all the rest of the year.
 In the afternoon papa invited her to see the flowers. The spring blossoms look their prettiest about Easter time there.
 Bessie thought they had never been so pretty before. But then she thought that every year. They walked all about, looking at each bright or fragrant bed in turn. One was filled with red tulips, with a border of yellow; one had purple hyacinths: another. white ones; another. pink. Finally. they came to a bed whose border was made up entirely of dear. little English daisies. with their pink blossoms and green leaves.
 And then-papa did the strangest thing! He stopped down by the flow CTS, and motioned Bessie to do the same. Then he took e letter out of his pocket, opened 1t and read these words to Bessie:

ID EoPLE used to think that it was \ necessary to cut the nerve of
 birds tongues in order to make takers out of them. But it is well un- derstood now that such cruelty is quite unnecessary.
 The raven. on account of the size of its tongue, can articulate words quite well. Ravens and jays (which repeat single words after people, are favorlte pets with the peasant Of the ThurlhBiaH Forest in Germany.

 Two ships meeting at sea first show their flags. Then they raise signals tell ing their numbers (for every ship has its number recorded in a book which tells all the information one captain would wish to know about another captains ship.
