Cowbirds Unnatural Parents.

The cowbird is the only bird that We
have In this country which is unnatu
raj in its parental duties. 1t nevel
builds q nest for itself, but lays 1t:
eggs In other birds nests, thus forcing
the rightful owners to assume parenta
duties. 1t it sagacious enough t(
choose the nests OF birds smaller thar
itself, so that its young, when 1t !:
hatched. being inevitably the larges
Of the brood, must necessarily receive
the lions share of the attention OF Its
foster parents. The birds thus aftiict
ed resort TO various means to rio
themselves OF this unwelcome addition
to their litter. The most ingenious
method Is that frequently used by the
little fellow wabbler, who Will Otter
build q substructure on top Of her orig
inal nest. thus burying the eggs OF the
cowbird and often some Of her OWL
with It. Nests have frequently beer
found with two Of these substructureS
in cases where the wabbler has twice
been visited by the cowbird.

Mountains.

There used TO be held In accordance
with Murchison's we'll known geolog-
ical views the general theory that
mountains were mainly due to cracks
which took place in the surface OF the
earth in remote periods. but this idea
Is no longer entertained by scientific
men. As to the form Of mountains
that which Is known as table mountain
finds the best example, curiously
enough. at the Cape Of Good Hope. a
mountain. It is believed. due not T.
any action or phenomenon Of upheaval'
but to the sinking Of the surrounding
districts or territory. Why these pc
culiarly defined areas did not sink was
owing. II IS thought. 10 the probable
fact that the ground under them cooled
before the rest of the section. and thus
the table mountain had the earlier
foundation and has long retained il:
place. There would always be denuda'
ton. however. though proportionate
with its surroundings, and therefore
owing to this fact Of being higher at
the start. it still keeps to its approx
mate elevation.

Captured by the Students.

Some years ago the selectmen Of the
town OF Hanover, n. H., decided. In
their wisdom, to collect poll tax from
every Dartmouth student OF legal age.
The boys said nothing to this. but
quietly decided that If they paid taxes
they would also vote. So they turned
out in full force at the annual meeting.
Having strength enough to secure con-
troll, in less than five minutes they had
elected students to the positions or
moderator and clerk. Thirty r'inutes
from the time the meeting was called
to order the town Of Hanover had gone
on record as having voted to build
brick schoolhouse 500 feet long, ten
feet high and two feet wide and to
build a plank walk from Reed Hall In
Hanover to Lebanon, in which town
was female seminary. The tax col
lector did not trouble Dartmouth stu
dents for many years after that.

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and I'M
proved way is called flue cured.
In Aue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct

Mark 7'wain's Ant.

"Mark Twain in one of his amusing
books OF travel attacks the ant" said
nature student He ridlcules the
idea that the ant Is industrious and
wise. He devotes three or four pages
10 an account OF an ant making Its
way homeward with a burden. He
shows the ant climbing grass stems
instead OF going round them, doing q
hundred silly things. taking In every
case the long and foolish instead of the
short and sensible way home. And
hence, naturally enough, he concludes
that the ants wise industry Is over
rated-naturally enough, say, Mark
Twain's ignorance being granted, for
he was unaware when he wrote that
long and interesting passage that many
kinds Of ants are blind. He did not,
for all his close observation, take up
his little ant subject, look for its eye
sockets and find them absent 1t was
a blind ant Mark Twain studied, and
he didn't know it."-Cincinnati En-

Birds Evolved From REPTILES.

1t may be a shock TO some persons to
learn that the birds Of the present day
are descendants Of reptiles. This fact
has been concluSively proved by the
fossil remains Of creatures that form
the intermediate stcges between the
birds Of today and the reptiles Of pre-.
historic ages. In fact. many of the
birds have not yet completed their ev'
