it's position at all, for it appears to be
in the act of slipping off into the
chasm below. The movement Is rem

stick under the rock, when the stick

People from all parts of the country
come annually in the month of March
to worship at this pagoda. The jour

at least, of which ten miles is very
stiff climb, the path sometimes tray
ersing narrow lodges of rock with
steep precipices down each side. but
the journey does not seem to deter
numbers of both sexes and all ages
from undertaking the pilgrimage. 1t
is the custom of the Burmese to re-
main on top of the hill for three days,
where they are accommodated in enor-
nous fiat-roofed grass huts covering
every available spot on the hilltop.
Every devotee purchases a small piece
of gold leaf which he pastes on the

Three little chicks belonging to W.

have pecked their way into the world
after an unusual experience. For

found the eggs. They were placed
back under the hen and at the end

test against the ram. Katahdin has
demonstrated that the theory as to the
piercing power of big projectiles fired
a modern battleships' range is wrong
that the missile really drops from the
trajectory at so sharp an angle that it
delivers glancing blow and therefore
does not penetrate armor plate of only
moderate thickness. If this is true
the fighting will have to be at closer
range, and the guns of smaller caliber
than the big 13-inch rifles will come

The latest government report is ad-
ditionally favorable to a big wheat
crop. The returns, as interpreted by
the skilled statistician of the New

time last year of 652. 351 900 bushels.
The estimate for 1909 fell below the

there be similar excess this year there
will be a good chance for a record
