The Quaker Oats Company is a con.
s%picuous exception. 1t was admitted

ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any n can af-
ford it and so n%ourishing that every

experiments at Yale and other points

Quaker Oats has been adopted by

Use Liuht to Deceive Birds.

At the London zoo there has just
been completed an arrangement OF
electric lamps which is to be used for
nothing but the deception of the birds
in the birdhouse. A switch outside
the building controls the lights. and
every morning before daylight the
keeper turns on the current. AS soon
as the birds see the light they think
the morning has dawned, and they i'm.
mediately begin to eat. In this way
they are induced to breakfast two
hours earlier than they would ordin.
arily. The same idea has for some
time been put to practical use in fat
tening quail for the market in Lon.
don. These birds take their feed only
during the early morning hours, so
they are kept in an underground
chamber, where it Is dark except when
the electric lights are on. Each time
the lights are turned on the birds,
thinking day is at hand, begin to feed,
and as soon as they are turned out,
they ~contentedly seek their roosts. In
this way the quail a be deceived
into eating a score of times a day, so
that they become fat very rapidly.

A baby carriage, which has the

According to Mr.. Burlington, the
small ons and daughters of whose
family have for the last fifty years
been hauled about in the old carriage,
no one knows the exact history Of the

When Mr.. Burlington with his fam,
