Freddy climbed up, with his faith

Of the old abandoned sloop in a mo-
ment. One glance showed him the
awful desolation of the wave-swept
craft. Mast, spars, sail and rigging
were tumbled about in a confused
mass, and part of the cargo of lum-
ber was shifted over TO one side.

into the use of his little sea legs. He
did not lurch and roll with each toss
of the boat, but walked steadily for
ward. When they came to the cabin
Mr. May threw open the door and
Suddenly both of them started.
Something moved inside, and then
there was mild cry of some fright
ened animal. Out of the darkness a
bundle of white appeared. 1t came
directly toward Freddy and mewed.

Freddy took the frightened Great
ure in his arms and stroked its soft
fur. The kitten mewed and rubbed
its nose in his face.
do you suppose he belongs to
somebody, papa?" asked Freddy, anx-
iously.
ut belongs to you, little man, If to
any one. You rescued him, and
don't think anybody will take it away
from you.'
All the way back to the lighthouse
home Freddy held the kitten in his
arms, and stroked and patted its
head. In his affection for the ship
wrecked cat he even forgot to notice
the waves or the condition of the
weather. The one fact to impress his
mind was that he had made his first
rescue from a shipwreck, and he
would always keep the kitten for his
own. He wanted playmate-a kit
ten, or a dog-and now the sea had
brought him one all for his own self.

THE BIRDS NEST.

A little bird was looking about one
time for a place to build her nest.
All the trees were too sunny, and
she thought their scanty leaves would
not protect her nest from the rain
storms that were sure to come. So
she flew along the fences, but she
did not like to build underneath the
rails for fear some naughty boys
might come along, discover her nest
and destroy it. Finally, as she was
flying up a ravine, either side OF
which was thickly timbered, she came
to ledge of rock that projected for
ward right in the centre of It, There
was such a fine place for a birds
home under this overshelving rock
that she at once began to gather
twigs, leaves, and blades of dry grass
with which to construct her nest.
Shortly after 1t was finished there
were four or five little blue eggs in it..
The bird was very proud of them.
and one day she began to set on the
nest that she might hatch some wee
brides. q
She had been on the nest only a
few days when 1t began to rain. The
ravine was filled, and the water went
roaring and splashing over the ledge
of rock. At first the little bird was
very much frightened, for she
thought she and her nest might be
destroyed. But not SO. She was
safely sheltered beneath the rock. ,
Not a drop of water touched her
or the nest, and soon she rested as
peacefully as ever.-W. D. Neale, in
Mayfower. ~

1t was noted at Lord Rosse's famous
observatory at Birr Castle, and an in
Testigation of the meteorological
conditions prevailing at the time fol-
lowed. The result was to show that
there had been a movement of the
air over the central part of the Brit
ish Islands such as to carry SCOT
from the manufacturing districts of
England over the Irish Channel. Ex-
animation of the black rain showed
that its color was due to the presence
of an extraordinary amount of SCOT.

the inside with india ink and allow

small disc, B, and fasten to the end
having the enlarged bore by means
of brads. On the other end glue a
piece of thin cardboard, C, and at the

point of a fine needle. 1t is very
important that the hole d should be
very small, otherwise the image will

To use this microscope place a
