THE COLUMBIA RIVER.
Dangers That Reset the Passage of
This Stream of Death.

The Columbia does not merely threat
en- but performs. No one can tell how
many men have been lost on the Big
Bend. The Surprise rapids. far up at
the head of the bend. are about as bad
as any. Seventeen men are known to
have been drowned here Leo Davis was
capsiZed on these rapids while we
were at TimbaSket lake. We found
his boat crushed and flung ashore a
hundred miles down stream and TWEEN
ty miles below the head of the bend
and so thought Leo was gone. Later
we learned that he got out alive.
though losing all his supplies. I saw
another broken boat on the Twenty-six
Mile rapids whose we never knew
or what became of it's owner. We
saw on a big bowlder near shore the
name of Swede who was drowned a

was not recovered, for the Columbia
never gives up its dead. Now. below

tiers, the Death rapids. where. in the

These men were mostly drowned from

His companion was swept down IN

get ashore and come back to rescue
him. Three men went over in q boat,

A late home conner. walking through
the uptown residential section after
midnight. says the Philadelphia Rec

pears to be white Grape hanging from
hundreds of doors and bell knobs. The
white thing is not an indication Of a
child's death, however, but merely a
bread bag that the baker supplies to
his customers. For years householders
had to put up with uncertainty about
their bread, not knowing whether some
of the numerous cats that make the
night less silent had investigated and
paved over their morning loaf. But
now the bakers, in order that their GUS
toners might feel more secure. have
provided these white bags. which the
housekeeper hangs on the doorknob at

EIah Ont of Water,

1t is well known. says knowledge
that certain kinds of fishes are able to
live out Of water much longer than
others. the power being dependent
upon the length of time that their gills
are capable of remaining damp. So
long as this condition lasts fish are able
to obtain the necessary amount of oxy-
zen from the air through the medium
of the water spread over the fine mem
brane of the gills. Recently German
has invented an apparatus by means
Of which the gills can be kept moist for
an indefinite period This apparatus
consists of wooden box with num-
Der of compartments corresponding
with the size of the fishes. On the floor
OF each compartment is a layer half an
inch deep Of cloths saturated with wa
ter which by evaporation keeps the at
mosphere moist. The gills Of the fishes
are thus kept damp. while oxygen is
supplied from a receptacle outside the
box Many kinds of fresh water fish
have, it is said. been kept alive for
from three to four days by means Of
this ingenious invention.

The Mother BIRD.

1t has been said by observers of
birds that some of them will feed their
young il they are Gagged and If they
fail after a time TO release them they
will bring them poison weed to eat
so that death may end their captivity.
This is hard to believe, but an appar-
emily well authenticated incident is
cited to prove it. Three young orioles
were captured and were Immediately
Gagged. and the cage was hung in a
tree The mother soon came calling
to the little ones, and in a little while
she brought them some worms. She
continued for several days to feed
them without paying much attention
to the persons who were about, but
one day she brought them a sprig OF
green in the morning and disappeared
In less than an hour the young birds
were dead. Aa examination of the
sprig showed that it was the deadly
larkspur. which, it is said. will kill
full grown cattle. There is Of course
a possibility that the mother brought
them the sprig by rnistake, but to be-
iieve that would be to doubt the pro-
tective instinct that nnruralists attrib-
ute to birds aud animals.-Chicago
