when seen. is the so called green

ment of the disappearance of the sun

eye must be fixed upon the rim OF the
sun as it disappears in order to catch
the phenomenon. One authority tells
us that he has seen the green flash,
although rarely. at the instant Of the
setting Of a bright star. Among the
explanations offered is n based upon
the optical principle of complementary
colors. If one looks at the sun and

ARIZONA ROAD RUNNER.
A SociabIe Bird That Is Said to Hate
a Rattiesnake.

The road runner is one of Arizona's
distinctive pathological institutions.
1t is a long legged. long billed bird,
slender Of build and standing some
ten inches high. 1t is not often seen
In the farming districts, but is a ia
miliar sight on the desert.
1t has gained the name of road run
ner from it's habit Of taking the road
in front Of travellers be they on horse
back or wheeled conveyance, and run
ming swiftly or slowly, as occasion re-
quires, showing off its neighborly spir-
1t and running qualities. 1t is not I'M
common for 1t to keep in company of
the traveller for several hundred yards.
No resident of Arizona would kill q
road runner. 1t is firmly believed that
the bird Is the deadly enemy of that
monster Of the desert. the r~attlesnake.
We don't know whether any Of our
readers ever saw a road runner kill a
rattlesnake. If there is an authentic
story of such a thing we would be
glad to publish X. But the accepted
tradition is that the road runner and
the rattlesnake are deadly enemies
and that the rattlcsnake fears the
road runner beyond anything else.
1t is told that the bird drives the
snake into a coil and then. darling
around the serpent like lightning.
pecks it to death. Whatever truth
there may be in the stories Of the
road runners accomplishments as a
disciple of st. Patrick. it deserves the
friendly protection it receives. Its
quaint s%ociability is always a diver
sion for the lonesome desert traveller.

REINDEER IN LAPLAND.

Clothing and Food.

They Furnish the People With Shelter,
Clothing and Food.
Some people have said that the rein
deer Of the northern regions is to the
inhabitants of those countries what
the horse. Gov and sheep together are
to the dwellers in southern lands, and
very probably they are right. What
would the Laplander be were he de-
prived OF his favorite? How could he
travel without his pair of reindeer
harnessed to his sledge?
The reindeer has large black hoofs.
behind which are false or secondary
hoofs: the result is that when running
they make a gathering sound. which
may be heard a good distance away.
The reindeer has much endurance and
takes a long journey without seeming
tired, though it is only about four and
a half feet in height and not very
strong. It's horns are long and slender,
with branched. rounded antlers, but
they are mo- much used in combat. like
those of some other deer.
The largest reindeer are found where
the weather is coolest. and their color
is lighter. Usually it is brown and
white, nut IN tine cast, 6ff {. sc animals
the hair is sometimes quite white.
From the skin of the reindeer the Lap
landers get not only their clothes. but
also bedding and tents: the milk is
drunk and made into cheese and the
flesh is also good to eat. the tongue
and launches being particularly liked.

food, is made by pouring fat over the

At eighteen he contributed to the
Westminster Review. At tw~enty-one

the position of champion. "A distinction
which he held for eighteen years, but
eventually he was knocked out by a

African

The social grosbecks of South Africa
live in large societies. They select a
tree of considerable size and literally
cover IT with a grass roof. under which
their common dwelling is constructed.
The roof serves the double purpose of
keeping off the heat and the rain. and
400 or 800 pairs of birds are known TO
have the same shelter. The nests in
this aerial dwelling are built in regu-
lar streets and closely resemble rows
of tenement houses.
