Fish Know CoIors.

Fish know colors," said a keeper at
the aquarium the other day. "They
can distinguish between red and blue
or white and green as well as you and
|. Wait and I'll prove it."
He led the way to n tank in which
were some red and some yellow and
some green fish, and in it were arti-
fetal grottoes painted respectively red
and yellow and green. The keeper
rolled the water with his hand, and the
fish fled, the red ones to the red grotto,
the yellow ones to the yellow grotto
and the green ones to the green grotto.
They know which color shields them
from observation best" said he Now
Ill change the grottoes, so as to prove
my statement a second time"
He moved the grottoes to different
places in the tanks and again rolled the
water. The same thing followed as
before. Each fish darted like a shot
to the grotto of it's own color, where it
knew it would be best concealed.-New

Ingenious Wood Rats.

The wood rat of the western slopes
of Cascade range is Il curious creature
that loves to steal so well that il is
known TO many as the camp roDber.
II carries off anything it can lay its
lips to and is besides n jolly. reckless
fellow. 1t does things which rodents
are not given to doing. 1t will take
knives, forks and tin plates, cartridges,
cups and anything it can handle in the
line Of clothing. towels or gun rags,
which make soft Innings for its nest.
1t is related how Il pair of these rats
stalled off n claim on top of Il hunters
camp stove and put up the most curl
Gus rat house anybody ever heard of.
About 200 yards away was Il railway
shanty. where the section men kept
their supplies. and among other things
was Il keg of railroad spikes such as
are used to faSten the rails to the
ties. The rats took some spikes to
their claim. built up an iron wall and
lined the interior with soft stuff 1t
is Il curious fact that all the points of
the spikes We're directed outward, and
they We're laid with great regularity
and firmness.-Exchange

Rarest American Plant.

OF all rare plants in America the
most rare is the buckleya, which has
disappeared from all known places ex-
cept two-Paint Rock, in North Caro-
lima, the refuge of plants in hiding,
and Wolf Greek, in Tennessee. It's
foliage is Gelicate and graceful, and it
bears oily little nuts of rather agree
able flavor. AS for its flowers. they
are rather odd. having no petals and
being of two distinct kinds. one grow
ing solitary at the ends of twigs and
the other in tiny clusters between a
pair of leaves. Its fruit is a queer
long ridged drupe, dotted with bright
orange and sometimes with Il long
fringe at the end. DIR. Asa Gray car
ried 1t to Cambridge, Mass, and it
seemed to thrive, but he could never
raise any more from it, After a long
while its secret was found out. 1t lives
usually on the Carolina hemlock, a
perpetual guest to this host plant and
doing no work for itself in other
words. it is secret parasite, as the
mistletoe is an open one. 1t is named
after DIR. Buckley, who loved flowers
and sought them under all kinds of
York Herald.

Birds That Feisn Death.

One of the most remarkable devices
resorted to by wild things for their
own protection is that of shamming
death. A beetle or spider will double
in its legs and lie as If dead. The
reason for this is obvious. 1t may then
he passed over, mistaken for bit of
leaf or stick. But it is more difficult
to account for this practice in birds.
A moor hen, or land rail, will feign
death, lying in the hand perfectly limp
and to all appearances unconscious. 1t
has been suggested that the idea is
that, being already dead, the captor
will not trouble to kill them. More
probably 1T is merely a ruse In the hope
that by lying still they may be forgot
ten and crawl or presently unobserved.
reason is suggested by the
fact that cats and the cat tribe do not

AS OUR ANCESTORS ATE.
Meals Which In Quantity Would
Amaze Modern Diners.


He was a fiorid man with pleasing
plumpness of person and possessing
what Shakespeare calls "a fair round
belly with good capon lined" He sat
In a restaurant and discoursed of eat
ing in this wise:
People are writing and preaching
nowadays all the time about the dam
ger of overeating. Why, bless my stars
and carriers, we do not begin to eat as
our ancestors did. What are our puny
little snacks of kickshaws compared
with the Gargantuan feasts to which
our great-grandfatherS yes, and our
grandfathers, too, for that matter-sat
down? Their hearty breakfasts Of
meat, eggs and often beer to wash it
down; their great midday dinners with
roaStS of all sorts in abundanceand pud-
dings and vegetables in profusion, and
their suppers of cold meats, perhaps u
chicken, cakes to beat the band and
preserves and pies and things indi-
gestible generally, often topping off
before they went to bed with painful
of apples and a pitcher of cider! Oh,
they were eaters, if you like. And be-
tween meals how they did pitch into
cheese and doughnuts and anything
else that came handy,
These We're our grandfathers and
some of our fathers. Going Il little far
ther back. see that curious document
descriptive of manners in the last cen
tury,' to which Thackeray alludes in
his English humorists. Here is what

tongue Then came almond pudding,
fritters, chickens, black pudding and
soup. The third course consisted of a
hot venison pasty or made pie, a hare,
Il rabbit, some pigeons, partridges, Il
goose and Il ham. Then they topped
off with cheese and drank during the
meal claret. ale, brandy and tea. They
sat at table four or five hours TO get
away with this meal and afterward
drank port and played cards until 3
o'clock in the morning.
'That was the way our great-grand-
fathers ate and their fathers before
them ate. if they could afford ii. and
if they could not they made up in
quantity what was lacking in variety
and quality. Eat, why bless you.
child, we modern men do not know
what eating is. Perhaps, though, if
our ancestors had done less eating and
drinking we might be able to do more
of it without the aid of dyspepsia tab
lets. Then, again, they did not know
how TO adulterate food in those golden
days of gastronemy. However, l am
a believer in hearty eating if Il person
can stand it. All, here comes my dou-

When 1t Rained Stones Eleven Days,

There are hundreds of well authenti-
Gated accounts of stones falling from
the skies. from the mysterious regions
of the great sea of space, but such
falls have usually been singly or, at
the most, in small showers. Accord
ing to a legend told by the Arabs of
the Sahara, there was time in that
portion of the dark continent when
pebbles and fine sand literally rained
from above for several days, covering
the earth to depth of many feet In
fact, they claim that the great desert
did not exist prior to the time when
this great shower of aerolites came. In
Jenckyn's "Trip to Ye Burning Sandes
of Africk" the following is told under
the head Another of Gods Wonders"
Moreover, the natives of these parts
say that it once rained small stones
and sandes for a period of eleven days
and nights. Much fertile land and
many towns and thousands of animals
and human beings We're thus buried

THE USE OF SLATE.
In the Middle Ages Scholars EN-
pIOyed 1t For Their Tablets.

p1Oyed 1t For The1r IaDlets.
1t is not easy to tell exactly for how
long a period states have been used by
schoolboys. but they were used as writ
ing tablets as far back as the middle
ages, and probably, therefore, they
were introduced into the schools of Eu-
rope at very early period in the his
tory of education in this part of the
world
And indeed it would be hard to find
more suitable substance for the pur-
pose than the easily faxed stone which
yields a smooth surface with mini
mum of trouble on the part of the
workman The ancients, as we know.
frequently employed waXen tablets for
the purpose of writing letters or max
ing calculations which are not intended
to be permanent and could easily be
erased or smeared out of all recogni-
ton with the finger. Diligent house
keepers and clandestine lovers found
these means of reckoning or communi-
cation equally Indispensable, while. for
the man of letters. whether orator or
lyric poet. the tablets on which were
iotted down the heads of Il great speech
or passionate stanza TO some fair lady
were almost as necessary as pockets,
of which the ancient world knew moth
ing. to the modern man or boy.
Compared with these perishabie aids
to memory the slate was very long
lived. for though the name implies Il.
brittle substance easily broken off
when the line of cleavage is discover
ed, being equivalent to the French
'.eclat," vet slate does not collapse like
wax with the application of moderate
heat. and even if cracked by fall
might still be used if its frame was
stout enough to stand the shock. 1t is
not surprising, therefore. that the slate.
when once introduced into school and
domestic life. soon became popular.
But slate is also n good roof cover
ing and has been used for this purpose
for eight centuries at least. Thing.
which still holds its own to Il large eX-
tent, partly on account of the inartistic
appearance of the modern slated roof.
was practically universal in the towns
of the ancient world which came under
the influence of Greece and Rome. 1t
is interesting to note in this connection
that as time went on buildings reduced
the thickness of their states.
Whether this was due to reasons of
economy, for heavy states need to have
solid timbers beneath them, or to other
considerations, the fact remains that
the states used in the cheap houses OF
the present day have n very cheap APP
pearance. The difference is clearly seen
by contrasting the fimsy look of Il jer-
ry-built suburban villa with the mass
i've solidity of an old slate rooted farm
house which has weathered the storms
of centurieS.-London Globe.
