Fires Started by Moths.

Moths and flames are universally
connected. yet few people suspect
that danger could arise therefrom.
The insects are of such frail struc-
ture that generally they get Destroy
ed before it is possible for them
to infict injury, and it is hardly
creditable that the wings would ig-
mite and retain the flames long
enough to enable the moth to fly to
its surroundings.
That, however, has occurred. The
moth was a very large one and it's
wings must have been very dry, so
that when it foundered through the
fame it set fire to one wing and
darted out to a curtain nearby which
at once fiaTed up. 1t is possible that
many summer evening fires in the
country could be attributed to q
source of this kind. It is notorious
that mysterious fires often arise at
sunset in the hot months.-Strsaa

As History NIight Be Taught.

Another way of teaching history
which the schools might adopt has
apparently not appealed to them. A
good newspaper, if the teacher
knows how to interpret its daily rec
ord, may stimulate an interest in
history itself II the pupil can be
taught the continuity and relation Of
events, an awakened interest in the
daily happenings will arouse a de-
sire to trace them back through pre-
ceding stages. 1t is the break in
continuity between the past and the
immediate present that deadens en-
thusiasm. BY studying history
backward from the immediate pres
ent this chasm would be bridged
and the passion for tracing to cause
stimulated.-Bosto Transcript

DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS.

One Of the keepers who came ashore
from Boon Island recently tells the
story of the strange death encoun-
tered by thousands of the migrat.
ing birds every spring. Flying along
the coast at night they are instantly
attracted by the powerful light from
the watch tower, as moths are drawn
to a candle. Thousands of these
birds in their passage north fly with
full force against the thick glass Of
the brilliantly lighted lantern.
Stunned to death they fall to the
rocks below or scale away for lit
tie distance and futter helplessly in
to the water. The light of morning
sometimes reveals the rocks covered
with the little creatures whose jour-
ney to their summer homes has met
this sudden and fatal termination.
Hundreds of species are found
among the unfortunate little tour
fists. Most of them are easily rec
ognized as belonging to the various
common classes of song birds. But
very often large birds of beautiful
plumage come to their final resting
place in this manner upon the bleak
rocks, of Boon Island. On one occa-
sion several years ago the thick
glass of the lantern was shiYered to
