Fhe Changa-That Takes Place when
- They Enter the Water.
The appearance of the keeper of the
penguins at the zoo, with his pail of
live gudgeon, Is the signal for sudden
and intense excitement In the cages.
The penguins wave their little fiippers
and waddle to the door, whence they
peer eagerly down the wooden steps
leading to the pool. The cormorant
croaks and sways from side to side,
and the darters poise their snaky heads
and spread their batlike wings. At the
waters edge the penguins do not
launch themselves upon the surface
like other water fowl, but instantly
plunge beneath
Once below water an astounding
change takes place. The slow, ungain-
ly bird Is transferred into swift and
brilliant creature, beaded with globules
of quicksilver, where the air clings to
the close feathers, and flying through

rowy speed and powers Of turning far

strokes of the wings are exactly sim

feet float straight out level with the
body, unused for propulsion or even as
rudders and as little needed in It's prog
ress as those Of wild duck when on
the wing.
The twists and turns necessary to
follow the active little fish are made
wholly by the strokes of one wing and
the cessation of movement in the other,
and the fish are chased, caught and
swallowed without the slightest relax

which is quite as rapid as that of most
birds which take their prey in midair.

or two bounds from the depths, when
the head and shoulders leap above the

The resin of the shoemaker and i'd
der is obtained from different species
of the fir tree-as the Scots fir, the
larch and the balsam FIR Of Canada. 1t
is well known that a resinous juice
exudes from these trees, which hardens
into solid tears. The clear juice itself,
before it has dried up by coming to the
surface, Is known In commerce as tur-
pentine and is In the main composed of
oil of turpentine and resin. When the
juice is distilled. the oil comes over,
and the resin remains behind. When
the distillation is carried on to dryness,
common resin is formed, but when
water Is mixed with 1t while yet fluid
the resulting mass Is the variety called
yellow resin, which is more preferred
for most purposes because It is more
ductile than the former, owing prob
ably to It's containing some Oil.

crops and commercial feeding stuffs as
sources Of protein in number OF ex-
perlments. In test With fifteen cows

mixed grains In another test with
three cows a balanced ration Of alfalfa
hay and corn silage without grain did
not give as satisfactory results. judged
from the yield Of milk, as ration of
corn sllage and mixed grains, indicat-
Ing that apparently some concentrated
feed was necessary for maximum
yield. In several tests with the entire
herd during two winters cowpea silage
was compared with corn silage, the re.
suits being Interpreted as proving the
superiority OF the cowpea sIlage. These
results show that alfalfa and eowpsas,
In addition to enrlching the soil, may
be grown for the purpose of supplying
to a very large extent the protein In
rations for cows.
Cowpea Makes Cheap Butter.
At the Tennessee station A. NJ. Soule
and s. f. Barnes showed several years
ago that cowpea hay could be substl-
tuted with profit for part Of the cot
tOnseed meal or wheat bran commonly
fed to cows. They more recently con-
Quoted similar experiments with ais
falfa hay, and the conclusion was
drawn from these results that three
pounds of alfalfa hay could be made to
replace one pound of cottonseed meal
and one and one-half pounds OF alfalfa
hay one pound Of wheat bran, the limit
Of substitution depending upon the IN
dividual capacity Of the animals to
consume hay, but ordinarily not eI.
ceeding ten to twelve pounds Of alfalfa
hay when fed with silage nor fifteen to
twenty pounds when fed without ST.
lage. 1t was evidently better to sub
stitute the alfalfa hay for the wheat
bran than for the cottonseed meal.
With alfalfa hay ct $40 per ton and
wheat bran at 500 per ton the saving
effected by substituting alfalfa hay
for wheat bran was estimated at 1913
cents per 100 pounds Of milk and $3.50 |
per 100 ponds Of butter.

present with those Of the earlier ex.
periments referred to showed that |

VANISHED TREASURES.
Masterpieces of Art That Are Los
10 the WorId

Masterpieces of Art That Are Lost
to the World.
The "Venus de Milo" which has been
In the Louvre for many years Is, as all
the world knows, an imperfect piece of
sculpture, though it Is the greatest
treasure of its kind the world has ever
seen. A great reward would be given
the man who could find the missing
parts. About 1878 the most important
of them-the right arm-came to light
In London and was proved by experts
to be genuine. The owner, however,
refused to part with it and concealed
1t for fear ii would be stolen. Unfor-
tunately he died without revealing its
hiding place. so 1t is as much lost as
ever.
A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple in
1889 and brought to Europe has mlrac-
ulously disappeared. On 1t is engraved
the whole history of the Pharaohs, and
1t could easily be sold for 100000. In
fact, the French government offered a
reward of $4,000 for its discovery, but
the famous cup has vanished, probably
forever
Another treasure which has vanished
in as strange way Is the Marcella
vase Of the Dresden collection. This
is the only piece missing from the ia
nous Dresden Marcella collection, the
value of which Is said to be $75, 1000.
1t bears the cross arrows and the lions
head. Not long ago the vase was said
to be In England, but, be that as 1t
may, the person who redlscoyers this
treasure may command any price in
reason for 1t.
How 1t Is possible that treasure so
large as a painting could be lost sight
Of entirely is not easily explained, but
this has often happened. One Of Reyn-
olds' paintings, Countess of Derby"
which is considered his best portrait,
has disappeared. Not long after it
was painted it disappeared from the
of the Earl of Derby and
has never been heard of since, though
It would bring $4,000 to the finder
There are also two Vandykes and a
Rembrandt missing, for which collect
)rs are willing to pay 100000. The
Carl Of Crewe would give large sum

randall cut from the portrait Of the for
