Lona FIiqhts of Birds.

Birds of passage make their longest
fight somewhere near Boring strait.
A naturalist says that probably the
longest continuous flight made by the
feathered travellers in their peregrina-
lions is accomplished by some of the
shore and water birds that nest In the
islands of Boring sea and spend the
winter at Hawaii and Tanning island,
1900 miles away. AS some of the birds
live entirely on the shore and are
probably unable to rest on the surface
Of the water. they must accomplish the
whole distance In single fight, yet
they make their way to their destina-
ton with absolute precision.-Chicago

Pepsin, Saliva and Gastric Juice.

Pepsin, the principal agent in the d.
gestion of food, Is powerful solvent
stored up in the walls of the stomach
and only poured forth when its assist
ance is needed. When pure, this fluid
is perfectly neutral. neither acid nor
alkaline, and appears to be unable to
exert any action without the presence
of an acid. Such acid is supplied In
the gastric juice, secreted by the gas
trio follicles covering the coating OF
the stomach. The saliva is merely for
the purpose of mostening the food.
thus preparing it for the action of the
pepsin and gastric fluids.New York

A Theory That 1t Will Come by Fire

AS to the length of time the earth is
likely to last, the calculations are that
1t will not cease to be active for a good
many millions Of years, such activity
not, however, necessarily supposinE
that life as we know it now will ais
ways be possible, the eventuality of
universal ice age being always con-
tingency that may occur again in the
history of the globe.
1t Is interesting to note that in this
connection Swedish mystic called
Stromberg has declared that the world
would never know another ice age, but
that it was now running out it's course
to the end. Its existence, he declared.
would endure as long as fire burned in
the earth's bowels-that is. until the
whole mass shall have become solidi-
fed. The internal fires, he said, pro-
vided the link which maintained the
earth In the suns sphere of attraction.
When this attraction shall fail, the
earth, according to the Swede, will
cease to revolve and will fall away.
only to disappear by fire caused by
friction, thus verifying the Biblical
prophecy. AS. however, the process Of
