there. 1t was then . o'clock and the

Animals and Fire.

Chicago Journal: Most animals are
afraid of fire n will fly from it in ter
ror. To others there is a fascination
about Il flame, and they will walk into
it. even though tortured by the heat.
"A horse in a burning stable goes mad
with fear. but a dog is as cool i'm a fire
as at any time. He keeps his nose
down to the floor, where the air is pu1-
est. and sets himself calmly to finding
his way out.
Cats in fires howl p~iteously. They
hide their faces from the light and
crouch in corners. When their rescuer
lifts them they are as a rule quite do
cile and subdued, eve biting or
scratching.
Birds seem to be hypnotized by fire
and keep perfectly still; even the To-
%quacious parrot i'll 3 fire has nothing
to say.
Cows. like dogs. do not show alarm.
They are easy to lead forth, and often
find their way out themselves.
