Looking at the quaint picturesque
town of Mogok, Burmah. Graded in
wooded hills dotted with temples and
bungalows. who would dream that It's
life has been life OF dread mysteries
and awful crimes? Yet the Ruby City
has seen things not to be recounted,
because Of its treasures, from King
solomon's day to that Of King The
bawg. Indeed, we're It not for the red
glowing stones a king would now be
reigping at Mandalay.
In Mogok they see everything IN
ruby light, men, women and chill
dren. Every visitor must want to
buy, they think However hungry or
thirsty the traveller may DO on ar
rival, the first thing he bears spoken
OF is rubies. All Mogok seems to be
fishing-for rubies, in the precious

WaImsley Of the National Audubon
Society. "and every little while you
will see flashing toward the north
small, bright object like a brilliant
yellow star. 1t IS visible for only
moment while II is between you ana
the sun, then It is gone. It Is a gold
en- plover on his way to the Arcuc
ocean. These birds pass over St
Louis by thousands, but they are rare
" seen save on the wing in the Mis-
sissippi valley for they seldom aiight
in the daytime, stopping to feed only at
night, and SO quickly that they rarely
attract attention.
"Tbe golden plover is true globe
trotter. He goes north, how far no
body knows, for he has been observed
in the highest attitudes attained by
man; makes his nest on the arctic
ice with handful Of moss, in a few
weeks the young are able to fly as
well as their parents, and the whole
family starts south again. The Mis-
slssippi valley is the north-bouud route
OF the plovers as well as of most
other birds that make long migra-
tions, but the golden plovers do not
go in fiocks like ducks and geese, but
singly, or at most In twos and threes,

follow the Atlantic coast In SepteO'
her they stop for three or four weeks
in Labrador and the Hudson Bay re-
gion, to feast on the crow bemis and
become very fat, then in october take
a straight course over land and sea to
Venezuela, where they arrive year af-
ter year on the same day Of the month.
There they rest and recruit, then go
on south, following the season, as far
as Patagonia, and turning north again
at the approach Of the southern win

"Thus the little yellow stars that
we see fitting over St. Louis in the
bright sunlight travel every year very
nearly $4,000 miles. But distance is
nothing to a plover. It can fly 500 to

Tree Fountain.

An extraordinary curiosity is to be
seen in the village of Gunten on the
Thun Lake, which takes the form Of
natural tree fountain, the water fow-
ing continuously apparently from the
trunk Of the living tree, and shows the
wonderful vitality Of cut wood.
About twenty years ago the water
of the spring was conducted through q
shaft and the supply pipe was directed
through the cut trunk of a young pop
lar tree which was rammed in the
ground. After a short time it be-
came apparent that the trunk had
struck root and branches were pushing
themselves well forward; at the pres.
ent time a splendid top growth is to
be seen. The pipe and tree have be-

Sparrow and Dog Associates.

A curious sight in one Of the prin'
eipai squares in the lower part Of the
town is a stray dog whose constant
associate is a sparrow, which seems to
have acquired the absurd habit OF
perching on the dogs head.
The amusing feature of the thing is
the solemn quiet with which the dog
receives the attentions Of its feathered
friend. turning its head only when the
bird gets upon the end of its nose-a
spot which is apparently rather sensi
tive.
The meeting Of the two generally
takes place at noon, when the dog has
finished foraging for its morning feed
and when the bird, too, is stated, II

the boots on. They were the first

An Indian Adventure.

Indian warfare has produced many
weird and unexpected situations, and
the mind of the romancer has created
more; but the strangest Of them all
will hardly surpass in novelty an ex.
perience which befell citizen Of wy
oming in the last Ute uprising. The
Indians were sweeping across north
ern wyoming, near the Montana line,
and were being gradually surrounded
by troops poured in from several quar-
ters. The whites were armed for
their own defence, and on several oc-
casions conflicts had been narrowly
averted.
One morning Mr.. James ]. Callahan
Of Aryada went out at daybreak with
two cow-punchers to cross the range
in order to look at some stock. SUD
denly out Of the sage brush there rose
up around them a dozen Iidians, who
had them covered before any of them
could draw weapon.
With their hands In the air, the
three white men faced a serious stu
alton. Things looked mighty blue"
said Mr. Callahan, afterward. 1--WE
had made up our minds that we we're
likely to part with our back hair"
AS they sat thus. the leader of the
Utes approached, and when he drew
near gave a warwhoop which to Mr..
Callahan's ears had certain familiar
and civilized twang to it. 1t Yerged

Billy Birdseye It was, sure enough,
although hardly recognizable by his
old Dartmouth comrade. Son Of Chief
Kannapap, leader Of the Ute uprising,
Billy was actively directing the opera
ton of this party Of his fathers scouts
and keeping well in practice to take
his fathers place in case OF need He
came running forward to shake hands
with Mr.. Callahan, while his followers
lowered their guns and exchanged
wondering remarks in their own
tongue,
But the strangest part Of the adven.

Of pasteboard. They were tickets to

Il was going East TO see the game my
self, but this business has come up to
prevent You may as well 60 along
and see the fun and meet the boys
