WILD GEESE.

They Nsvsr Feed Without Throwing

Some Of the common sayings con-
corning birds are stupidity wrong.
.'You stupid goose!' is an expression
constantly heard, yet the goose, wheth-
er wild or tame, is most sagacious
Wild geese, for instance, never feed
without throwing out scouts or SEN
tries. j. q. Millais describes how he
saw a flock Of geese feeding with SEN
tries out and how after time one of
the sentries went up to a bird that
was feeding and gave 1t a gentle peck
on the back. The latter thereupon left
Its grazing and went or to take up
guard. while the sentry took its turn

..Gentle as d dove is such COM
mon proverb that the dove has become
the emblem Of peace. Quite a mis-
take, for all the dove nnd pigeon tribe
are great fighters, and in the breeding
season the cock birds indulge in bat

The foolish prejudice against all
birds Of prey includes that pretty little
hawk the kestrel. Now, IL the kestrel
were known as the mouse falcon It Is
possible that keepers would not In

She Was Once One Of the Quaint Char.
aetsrs Of Washington.
Old, queer. sharp tongued Anne Roy
all, traveller, editress and interviewer,
was for many years a familiar figure
III the streets OF Washington, trotting
indomitably about her business. very
poor. very persistent, often trouble
some, often rebnffed, but with quail
ties Of honesty and courage to be re-
epected.
There Is given in the story of her
life by Sarah Harvey Porter delight
full glimpse Of her visit to ex-President
Madison and his wife. The contrast
between the gracious mature beauty
of charming Dolly Madison. elegant in
her rustling black silk. and the funny
little limping, shabby figure In anti
quated skirts and ridiculous wadded
bonnet, could scarcely have been en-
HANGED.
AS usual, old Anne Royal had tramp
ed to save carriage hire; as usual. her
errand, probably none too welcome to
her hosts, was to secure IN interview
aud use descriptive background. But
Dolly Madison saw In the absurd, In
quisitive, despatched person before
her neither the reporter nor the guy

was her guest. She hurried to bring
her a glass Of water, then quite sim

1t is small wonder that Mrs. Royals
clothes were queer. She was scarcely

AS GOOD AS HE SENT

A T a recent meeting of the directors of an
n Eastern railroad, prominent railroad
man repeated a story that he just had from a
conductor one of the limited expresses be-
tween New York and the West.
1t seems that dapper chap in the first chair
car had managed to become unusually friendly
with attractive young woman in an ad Join
ing seat. When the train pulled into Buffalo
the masher, in taking leave of the lass, re-
marked:
DO YOU know, | must thank YOU for an
awf'lly, awf'lly pleasant time; but I'm afraid
you would not have been nice to me had YOU
known that was married man.
"Oh, as to that" quickly and pleasantly re-
spondcd the charming young woman, "you
haven't the least advantage of me- | am an

Proctor poles, HOW over the ARD con-
tlntnts. This steady observed
flow of about two miles an hour
points to the action of sentient intelligence
on the globe.
There let us pause for moment, and consider
the facts OF the case, as stated by Lowell. Ac-
cording to his theory, the water flows from the
north during the northern summer. Starting at
the polar cap, it sweeps through the network Of
canals, over the equator, and fertilizes the
plains to some thirty-hve degrees south lati-
tudc. During the next season the flow IS re-
versed, and the south polar cap melting, the
water flows northward as far thrty-five de-
grees north latitude. Thus the water in the so
called canals flows in opposite directions IN
winter and III summer. In other words, it
flows up hill as readily as down hill! Mrdbile
diem!

Mars in Tragic Humor

THE planet Mars shares with Halley's comet
the center of the celestial stage during the
coming season, Mars being in the ascendant at
present, and of tragic mien, described by
Professor Lowell in his latest work MARS, the
Abode of Life" There Mars described
as a planet its deathbed, lingering out its
death throcs perishing of thirst. Its seas and
oceans have long since gone, and all that re-
mains of them now is tethered for the most
part at the poles, securing but brief release
during the Marian year.
Here it is that Lowell gets his message from
Mars. minute intelligence bridging the di-
vidIng gulf, communicates with intelligence
across celestial space. Mind responds to Mind.
!" There IS neither speech nor language; but
their voices are heard among them In the
seasonal changes that periodically occur in the
Marian canals, the author the bursting

equator, as the vital fluid is released and
propelled toward the latter. By no apparent
natural force could the water, thus freed at the

times and states,
Brandish your crystal tresses in

THE many curious and absurd notions OF
i planetary influences that prevailed IN the
DAYS when Shakespeare wrote the above hines
still hold their sway, apparently, to Judge from
= letter received by well known astronomer.
The writer an Englishman IS much con-
cerned at the coming approach OF HALEY $
comet in 1910 When it made its appearance
III 1906 it was supposed to be an evil omen,
forcshadowing the defeat of the English, which
actually took place at the Battle OF Hastings
when Harold was defeated at Senlac Hill by
William the Conqucror and his Normans. Now
in 1910 a German invasion of England Is pre-
dicted and the writer fears the result Will be
equally disastrous for his country, owing to the
approach of Halley's comet.
1t seems scarcely possible IN these enlightened
times. especially in countries where education
Is generally diffused among the people, that
such crude notions should prevail regarding the
harmful influence of comets. We ought to ex-
pect, rather that the temperance of Haley s
comet would be hailed everywhere with delight,
as furnishing new proofs of the beautiful har-
mony that charac teriZcs the motions of heav-
enly bodies. But such is not generally the case.
The same tendency of the human mind to con-
meet terrestrial events with celestial phenom-
ena exhibits itself even when civilization, cul-
ture and refinement appear to have attained
the foremost rank.

Getting Acquainted with Comets
WE have made vast strides in our knowledge
~ of the physical nature of comets, from the
days when they were supposed to be portents
of disaster, dealing death and destruction IN
their wake. Now 1T IS almost universally ac
knowledged that the train of comet is not
solid mass, but consists of particles driven
from the head of the comet by the fierce light
pressure of the sun. Recent discoveries IN
ra,loactivity have also enabled to find a
possible explanation for the formation OF the
comets train.
1t is known fact that every body at high
temperature emits minute particles of matter
which are thrown off from the body at a great
velocity. These particles rule mega
lively electrified, and the number varies with
the nature of the hot body and increases with
the temperature. The sun, being hot body,
must be continually radiating streams of these
negatively electrified particles into space. 1t
has been shown that the radiant matter emit
ted by the sun is identical with certain rays
given off by radium. The impact of this radi-
ant matter on the meteorItes composing the
head of comet generates hight, and the spec
trum of this light will be that of the atmosphere
surrounding the meteorIc particles. At this
rate, the spectrum OF a comet IS more likely to
result from matter scattered through inter
planetary space than from the comet itself.
An authority on the subject is of the opinion
that the meteorites of which comet is COM
posed are the size of oranges, and about mile
apart. This reminds one of the following ex
tract from the Memoirs of Edward Burne-
Jones:
After the loss of Morris lone of his most in
innate friendsl he sought to distract his
thoughts by dwelling subjects of which they
had never talked much together; SO he took
up astronomy. What he read concerning this
science was distilled to his friends in less tech
meal language. For instance he SAID to them,
Do you remember what fuses there used to
be about earth colliding with a comet?
How angry astronomers were with each other
on the subject, taking sides in the discussion
as though it were politicsi One astronomer said
the crash would be 50 frightful that the whole
earth would be turned into fine dust, and an
other astronomer was exceedingly cross with
him and contradiCted him, saying that the
largest comet could be condensed and put into
his watch pocket without causing him the
least inconvenience.
This, however, was rather an extravagant
assertion; for, according to the late Professor
A. {. Young, the probability is that the total
amount of matter in a comet of any size,
though very small compared with its bulk,
IS vet to be estimated at many millions OF tons.
To quote his own words. We simply do not
know anything about a comets mass, except
that it is exceedingly small as compared with
that of the earth

BAD TUMBLE
and RUNAWAY

NJ. d. Monsarrat met with an acct
dent this morning which might easily
have proved serious. He left his Of
flee on the second floor of the Waity
building and started to descend to the
street On the stairs, which, by the
way, are a bit narrow and steep, he
slipped and had bad fall downward
The back of his head struck upon tho
stairway, a wound more than an inch
square being opened. The patrol wa
gon was called and the wounded man
taken to the Queens hospital After
being examined and temporarily treat
ed he was allowed to return to his
Office.
Yesterday afternoon a delivery wa
gon of Henry May & Company made
things lively for the driver on Fort
street near the Catholic cathedral. The
wagon, it appears. had run into the
car track, a wheel being caught in the
frog of the track. This frightened
the horse and caused him to start up,
overturning the wagon. Manuel Mi
guel, a driver, escaped with broken
ankle. Another man in the rig was
thrown out but was not hurt

of $50 to the best float of any kind.
CARRIAGES.
Carriages will be divided into one
horse. and two-horse rigs. A special
class will include tandems, four-in-
hands, or other outfit not including in
the two regular classes. Prizes will
be provided for each of these classes.
Chairman Frank Armstrong wishes to
hear from anyone having carriages
which they will decorate, and enter,
or If they cannot enter it themselves,
will permit the committee to use. See
him at Castle & Cookies offices, Stan
genwald Building.
SCHOOLS, CLUBS, FRATERNITIES.
The Committee will try to get every
organization in the city to be repre-
sented in the procession with some
kind of vehicle or float. The Order of
Red Men, have already announced that
they are ready to make a good die
play, and other orders are considering
the matter. The boat clubs and other
athletic organizations will also be
urged to lose no time in getting ready.
Probably all the schools in the city
Will be represented by floats, or car
riage. The first heard from definitely
is the Priory Girls school, which is
already working out the details of it's
display.
CAVALRY.
One squadron of the Fifth Cavalry
-four troops) have been promised for
the parade. There VIII also be a jim
ricksha section to be entered by local
Japanese, and several other features
which have not fully been decided
upon.
