The Hunmina Birds Elioht,

The flight of the little humming bird is mere remarkable than that of the eagle. We can understand the Tapping of the eagles immense wing support ing a comparatively light body. But our little bird has a plump body. His wings are not wide, but long, so he must move them rapidly to sustain his weight, and this he can do to perfec- tion. The vibrations of his wings are so rapid as to make them almost in- visible. He can use them to sustain himself in midair, with his body as motionless as if perched on a tYig. In this way he can sip the nectar of the delicate. fine stemmed flowers without alighting for a moment. He never alightS while so engaged He moves from flower to flower with graceful and rapid movement, some times chasing away a bee or hum ming bird moth, of which he is very jealous Nor is he much more favora- bly, impressed with any small birds that seem in his way. He knows his power of flight, and he has no fear of any other bird.-St. Nicholas.

The Wonderful Camel.

When the nature of the work per- formed by the camel is considered it is perhaps its very somno1ent organi- Zation which best fits it for that work and which gives color to the accusa- tions of laZiness and stupidity made against it. It can live on a diet as ap- petizing as "a green umbreIla,'' to use Sir Samuel Bakers words. Barren, leafiess twigs. dried shrubs and the tough, paperlike substances of the dome palm form the chief courses in the menu prepared by nature for this denizen of the desert. The marvellous arrangement for the retaining of a sup ply of water sufficient to last for many days makes the camels powers of en- durance phenomenal. The ordinary freight camel is expected to carry a load of from 800 to 1000 pounds across the desert at the rate of twenty-five miles day and to keep it up for three days without a fresh supply of water. Some will cover fifty miles a day for five days without water, and the swifter species will carry their riders 100 miles day-London Spare Moments

An Inaenious Device.

When Sir Robert Perks school days were over he entered the office of a firm of lawyers and worked very hard. It was no uncommon thing to find him reading law at in the morning, and this often after he had been working late on the previous night. As a mat ter of fact. he made it an inf1exible rule never to be in bed of a morning after ,. Jo enforce this rule he in- vented an ingenious device. This con- sisted of a long glass tube filled with water nicely balanced over his head and attached by a string to an alarm. At the desired hour the bell rang and awakened the sleeper If within few seconds he did not leap from his bed and avert the calamity the descending weight of the clock destroyed the bal ance of +}2e tube, and down poured the water cn his guilty head!-From ''The Life StoEy of Sir Robert w.
