II Cats the Criminals.

According to the Chinese method Of
criminal prosecution. man is respon-
sible for the crime he may have COM
mitted personally, but If he chooses to
escape justice by running away from
the place where the deed was commit
ted then the remaining members or his
immediate family are held and pun
ished In lieu Of the real culprit. Thts
may seem Il strange way Of attracting
the real criminal back to the scene OF
his crime, but it appeals to the reli-
gious side Of the mans superstitious
nature. According to their religion, the
man who forsakes his parents when In
peril will find his soul sailing around
through hades without chart or COM
pass for all eternity. In view OF this,
compliance with the law is very prompt
for John Chinaman does not care to
take the desperate chance.

To test the water Of Lake Michigan

plan Of Major II. B. Jersey, the

kee. He says that to obtain the neces-
sary data will be a work which will
require at least three years expert
ment, and then there will be every
reason to expect successful long dis
lance forecasts can be made. He says
there is no doubt that the water of the
lake controls the temperature Of Mil
waukee. and the proposition is to as
certain the temperature of the wster

fifty feet below it under varying con-
di.ions for three successive seasons.

PERFECT FLlERS.
Eagles, VuItures and Similar Birds
Are In This Class.


1t is a fact that those ingenious and
daring minds that devote themselves
to the solution of the problem Of avia-
ton have given no small part of their
preliminary study to considering the
manner Of fight Of birds.
A strange result of this investigation
is the conclusion, now generally in
dorsed, that, as whole, the bird world
is not to be regarded as perfect in its
attainment of fight. For instance, it
is contended by the best authorities
that all birds obliged continually to
flap their wings-and IN this category
may be mentioned sparrows, finches,
thrushes, crows, etc.-are still in an
imperfect stage of advancement.
In the next class, as being a degree
advanced, are put such birds as pie
geons, swallows, etc., which are able
to dart ahead for space after they
have gained a good start by the vigor-
Gus tapping of their pinions.
In the third class the birds that may
be said to be perfect fliers are the
eagles. vultures, albatrosses and SIM
liar big birds possessing the ability to
rise and fall and sway and soar in the
air indefinitely without a perceptible
movement of their wings. 1t is, Of
course, known to every person Of an
observant turn that these big fowl are
able to soar into the air gradually I'M
til at last they disappear from the
eye Of the watcher, it being almost
impossible to detect any movement be-
yond a slight occasional motion Of the
tail.-New York Tribune.

Monkey and Goat.

Monkeys are more renowned for mis-
chief than for kindness, but even mon
keys can be benevolent. M. Mouton
records the doings Of one In Guade-
loupe that surely seemed to merit that
reputation. This monkey had friend
In a goat that went daily to the pas
ture. Every night the monkey would
pick out the burs and thorns, some
times to the number Of 1000 or 5000,
from the goats fleece, In order that
the animal might lie down in peace.
On coming in from the pasture the
goat regularly went In search Of his
light handed friend and submitted him
self to the operation. Strange to say,
the tricky instincts of the monkey re-
asserted themselves after the pricks
were removed. He would tease the
poor goat numerically, plucking his
beard, poking him in the eyes and
pulling out his hairs. The goat bore
it all with patience, perhaps regarding
it as only a fair price to be paid for
the removal Of the thorns.-London

is warning that something is wrong,
