I looked of to the south and the cow
boys were coming back with pas re-
mains on blackboard.
I went up to the wagon to see If
pa looked natural, and he raised up,
like a corpse coming to, and said:
''Hennery, did you notice how I roped
the black steer?" and I said: Eyes,
pa, saw the whole business, and saw
you start south, chasing the steer,
armed only with a saddle, and what
is the news from Texas?"
Pa said: ''Look-a-here, I don't want

but the ride I had across the prairie
has given me some ideas about flying
machines that will be worked into our
show next year."
Pa got up off the blackboard and
shook himself, and he was just as we'll
and hearty as ever, and the cowboys
got around him, and told him he was

with their fingers. and look at pa as
though they expected he would break
out violently insane any minute.
Finally we got up on high ridge,
and beautiful, fertile valley was I'M
folded to our view, and Bill, the cow
boy who had had his herd of steers
eaten by the dinosaurs, said that
was the place, and he began to SILVER
like he had the ague. He said he
wouldn't go any farther without an
other hundred dollars, and pa asked
the other cowboys il they were afraid,
too, and they said they we're little
scared, but for another hundred dol
lars they would forget it, forget their
families, and go down into the death
valley.
Pa paid them the money, and we
went down into the valley, and rode
along, expecting to jump flock of
dinosauruses any minute, but the val
ley was as still as death, and pa said
to Bill: why don't you bring on
your dinosauruses," and Bill said he
guessed by the time we got up to the
far end of the valley we would see
something that would make us stand
without hitching.
We went on towards where the val
ley came to point where there
seemed to be a hole in the side of
the mountain, when all of a sudden
four or five gun shots were heard, and
four Of our horses dropped dead in
their tracks, and about dozen men
come out Of the hole in the wall and
told us to hold up our hands, and
when we did so they took our guns
away and told us to come in out OF
the wet. =
+ We went into cave and found that
we had been captured by Curry's gang
Of train robbers, who made their head
| quarters in the hole in the wall. The
leader searched pa and took all his
money, and told us to make ourselves

to the valley looking for the supposed
to.be-extinct dinosaurs, to capture
one for the show, and the leader OF
the gang said he was the only di
nosaurus there was, but he hadn't
been captured. Then the leader
slapped our cowboys on the shoulders
and told them they had done a good
job to bring into camp such a rich
old codger as pa was, and then We
found that the cowboys belonged tt
Curry's gang, and had roped pa ir
in order to get a ransom.
The leader asked pa about how
much he thought his friends at thu
east could raise to get him out. ant
when pa found he was in the hands
Of bandits, and that the dinosauru:

and the only man living that had
seen a live dinosaurus
Then we turned in, and pa never
slept wink all night, thinking of
the, rare animals, or insects, or rep
tiles, or whatever they are, that he
expected to land for the show. He
whispered to me in the night and said:
"Hennery, l am on the trail of the
dinosaurs, and while I am not pre-
pared to capture one alive, at this
time, I am going to- that valley and
see the animals alive, and make plans
for their capture, and report to the
management of the show. What do
you think about it?'
told pa that I thought that cow
boy, Bill, was the worst liar that we
had ever run up against, and I knew
by studying geography in school that
the dinasaurus was extinct, and had
been for thousands of years. Pa said:

steers was swallowed whole, and they

dinosauruses for miles, making a noise
like distant thunder, whether from
eating the steers, giving them a pain,
or whether bidding defiance to him
and his horse, he never could make
out, but he said nothing but money
could ever induce him to go into that
valley again.
Pa asked the other cowboys if they
had ever been to that dinosaurs val

said they had heard of it, but there
was notzmoney enough to hire them
to go there, cause they had heard that

SPARROW TAUGHT TO SING
Bird Raised with Canaries Soon
,~~ Learned to Initiate the
Warblers.

A series of interesting experiments
in which English sparrows have been
taught to sing sweetly is. recorded by
DR.. Conradi, says the American Jour
nal of Psychology. The aim of the
experimenter has been. to determine
what are the conditions under which
birds learn and cling to their trad4-
tional notes. For this purpose he has
taken very young birds of non-musicai
species and kept them entirely with
songsters, to determine whether they
would thus acquire the musical notes.
In July, 1893, he put four fielding
English sparrows into the nest of a
pair of singing canaries. Three OF
them died, but the fourth survived.
This one had already acquired
sparrow chirp; but, hearing thence
forth only the notes of the canary,
he went no further with the language
which was his birthright. Instead, he
came gradually, when among the
canaries, to give notes different from
sparrow talk Even when he was ST.
lent, if the canaries were singing he
could be seen moving his throat, as if
he were trying to form the sounds,
much as a person often audibly fol-
lows song which another is singing.
At last these sounds began to be aud
ible, and increasingly so. He began
to give notes in rapid succession,
three or four tones up the scale, and
then repeating the top note five or
six times.
Growing bolder with practice and
the sound of his own voice, he soon
INDUCED three or four runs in sue
cession, with eight to twelve notes in
each; and in the last days of Sep
TENDER, when three. months old, he
went up and down and up the scale,
all in one run.
All this while his voice had been
changing. At first it was harsh, as is
natural with English sparrows; but
gradually, with the effort or with the
subconscious influence of the sweeter
sounds about him, it became softer
and acquired something Of the canary
quality.
At first he sang on low scale and
tried the top notes vainly; but, as his
voice became milder, he went higher
more easily. He was three months
old when, growing bold, he essayed his
first trill. It was short but musical,
and. he evidently liked it, for he re.
peated it, and continued steadily to
practise it. It was done modestly, and
after each trill he sat still and :ap-
peared to be listening. A year later,
however, when the report was being
written by the experimenter, he had
grown to be quite an adept in canary
song, and would trill and sing con-
tinually, punctuating his song with
complete circles and semicircles on his
perch >~s<~',>>. 49, -..i
To try the effect of association upon
him, DR.. Conradi removed him for a
time. in his first year, from the can
aries, and put him where he heard
only sparrows chatter. Gradually he
ceased to sing and began to return to
the neglected sparrow tongue; but
when he was again hung with the
canaries he regained all he had lost in
less than month.

couldn't hold hold candle to him
as an all-around rough rider and cow
boy combined. So pa hired about a
dozen OF the cowboys to go with our
show, and then we went into camp
for the night, and the cowboys told
of a place about 70 niles away, where
some scientists had camp, where
they were excayating to dig out petri-
fed bones of animals supposed to be
extinct, like the dinosaurs and the
hoday, and pa wanted to 60 there and
see about it, and the next day we took
half dozen of the cowboys pa had
hired, and we rode to the camp.
Gee, but l never believed that such
animals ever did exist in this coun-
try, but the scientists had one animal
picture that showed the dinosaurs as
he existed when alive an animal over
20 feet long. that would weigh as
much as a dozen Of, our largest ele-
plants, with a neck as long as Is
giratfes. and then they showed us
bones of these animals that they dug
out and put together and the complet-
ed mess OF. bones showed THAT the
dinosaurs could eat out of a six-story
window, and pas circus instinct told
him that if he could find such an ami
NAL alive, and capture it. for the
show, our fortunes would be made.
We stayed there all night, and pa
asked questions about the probability
Of there being sucn animals alive at
this day, and the scientists promptly
told pa these animals only existed
ages and ages ago, when the country
vas covered with water and was d part
Of the ocean, AMI that the animals
lived on the high places, but when the
water receded; and the ocean became
a desert, the dinosaurs died of q

WHAT is a GOOD ROAD?
A Discussion by Edward K. Parkin-
4 son, and Comment by Editor
Z + + Country Gentleman.

The best roads that have ever been
built were those constructed by thu
Romans ten or fifteen centuries ago,
and which are to-day almost perfect
examples of what roads should be-
Their roads had a width Of 80 feet,
and pavements of heavy stone at the
bottom, and often one or more layers
of stone bedded in cement to make the
road waterproof The two cuts show
the best types Of ancient Roman
roads.
It has been argued that such roads
would cost too much to build in these
days Of high wages. To be sure, the
Initial cost would be enormously
greater, but the final cost would, on
the other hand, be much less.
Some of the Roman roads are 1000
years old, and are still in fair con-
dition. will say, for the sake Of
argument, that modern macadam
road will last 20 years without hav-
Ing to be extensively repaired; at the
end OF that time, however, the road
will have to be practically reconstruct
ed, at least to the extent of half the
original cost. So new road will be
built and paid for every 40 years.
Therefore in 1000 years. the age Of
some OF the Roman roads. we shall
have built and paid for 40 poor roads.
Evan granted that mile of Roman
road could cost 40 times as much as
mile of our macadam road, which
it doesn't. wouldn't the loss of money
from INSTRUCTED traffic and inconven-
fence be sufficient reason for building
roads that would last at least 100
years? The old excuse, that the con-
d1tlons are SO different and our eli
mate so hard on roads, does not seem
to have much weight
The truth is, we build our roads in
such hurry, and oftentimes with so
little judgment on the part of the en-
gineers, that the wonder is, not that

The Duchess Mother. Discipline.

The Duchess Of Albany never per-
mitted her children to be. spoilt, as the
following story shows. The present
Duke Of Saxe-C oburg and Gotha went
to Sandroyd House School,, Gotham,
kept by the Rev. L. H. Wellesley-Wes-
ley, q descendant Of both the Iron
Duke and the great preacher. It was
q rule Of the school that a hoy who
split ink on the boards scrubbed it out!
One day the little Duke Of Albany was
the culprit, and was told to go to the
honsemaid and bring q pail and scrub
bling brush. With an indignant look
he reminded his tutor that he was *'the
queens grandson & The /. protest
brought a quiet repetition Of the order,
and the angry youngster was compelled
to perform his task. The duchess ex-
pressed great appreci ation on hearing
the story.-L ondon Tit Bits. 81 vi
