THE HUMAN BRAIN.
Il Is the Most Marvellous Machine In
the World

The human brain Is the most mar
pies less space In proportion to It's
capabilities than any machine Il ever
invented. 1t sends special nerve to
every ultimate fiber OF some 800 mus
cles, to many thousand branching
twlgs of arteries, to every plnhead
area of the numerous glands which
keep the machine properly oiled, heat
ed or cooled, TO some sixteen square
feet of skin, which Is the outpost
guard of It's castle, with such complete
ness that the point of pin cannot
find an area unguarded. II possesses
special quarters for the reception and
translation of constant stream of vi
bratlons that are the product of all
things movable or still In the outer
world. On the retlna of every open
eye is n picture of the outer view, n
focused imprint OF every ray of light
and color. and In the visual chamber
of the mental palace stands vibra-
scope magic lantern that receives
the retlnal picture In Its billion speed
ing series of light waves and throws
them upon It's mental screen as n llv-
Ing moving picture Of light and shade

n vibraphone, over whose active wires
passes every wave Of sound from the
dripping of the dew TO the orchestral
fortlssimo, from the raucous screech
of the locomotive to the sighing OF the
wind through the meadow grass. In
the chambers set apart for scent and
taste and touch are the secret service
guards TO report upon the air and food
which give sustenance to the palace
and upon the solid qualities of the tnc-
tile world. And, wonder of all won
ders, this complex human brain can

BIRDS AS THEY SLEEP.
Quail Form Dense Circle With All
Heads Facing Out.

The nlghtcap preparations of the
chubby little quail are very interesting
Each evening the covey forms In new
place. and this selection of the spot
entails serious efforts. Bobwhite new
er quite loses remembrance of the
many dangers which make his life In

throated male with soft clucks calls
together dozen of his comrades, aud
for few minutes they n|l huddie to-
gether, but soon from the farther end
of the aviary clear hew-bobwhltev
rings out, and OFF scurry the whole
band, this time perhaps TO settle for
the night In the new plnce-a dense
circle OF little forms, heads all facing
out, just ms In their native stubble they
rest facing in every direction. so that
at the first hint of danger from any
point of the compass the covey may
explode and go booming Off In safety
Poor little fellows, their wild life is
strenuous indeed Well for their race
that every nest holds from ten to eight
cen eggs instead of three or four!
The woodpeckcrs sleep resting upon
their tails, even the flckers invariably
following this custom, although during
the day the flchers spend much OF
their time perching In pnsserlne man
ner, crosswlse upon n twig. Small
birds such as thrushes and warbers,
sleep usually upon some small twlg
with heads tucked behind wings In
orthodox bird fashion, but they occn-
sionally vary this In a remarkable way
by clinglng all night to the vertical
wires Of their cages, sleeping apparent
ly as soundly In this as In the usual
position of rest. A blueblrd In small
cage slept thus about one or two nights
out of each week. Any explanation Of
this voluntary and widespread habit
among perchng birds would be difficult
to suggest.
The little hanging parrakeets derive
their name from their custom of sleep
ing always In reversed position, AMI
when distributed over their roostlng
tree they resemble some strange, pend
ant, green fruit rather than sleeping

Big Tips For Little Favors.

Pounds and WEIGHTS.

Here is question that will tax the
arithmetical powers Of youth. Sup
pose that for some reason or another
a shopkeeper who sold goods by
pounds and half pounds, but never in
quantities exceeding twenty pounds ut
time, was told that he must transact
all this business with four weights
only, what must these four weights
be? The answer is half pound. one and
a half pound, four and half pound
and thirteen and half pound. With
these it will be readily seen that any
weight from half pound to twenty
pounds may be determined in pounds
and half pounds.-Gateway Magazine
