Owls Houses.

Owls houses are for the most part
quite without lining. Whether from
design or pure laziness the bones and
skulls of small animals which they
have killed are left scattered about the
floor. Grewsome playthings for the
owl children! But one can scarcely
Imagine even baby owl being any
thing but wise and dignifed 1t is
easiest to picture them apparently
gravely musing on these skulls like
monks in their dark cells.
Since so many of the owls have their
homes in hollow trees, we might ex-
pect some of their near relatives, the
hawks, to be inclined to live in the
same way One of them, the little
sparrow hawk, does nest in the flick
er's abandoned home and in comfort
able knotholes. This bird, too, is sat
1shed with perfectly bare walls and
floor, though the floor consist of small
chips left by the decaying wood or by
some woodpecker.-St. Nicholas.

A Railroad Mans Dream.

Railroad men are strong on dreams
One morning an engineer came down
to the train masters office and declared
that he would not go out on his run
that morning and asked for a layoff
His superior asked him what the trou-
bic was, and when he said that he
had had Il dream in the night that
troubled him lie was laughed at and
an effort was made to induce him to
take his run out But he refused and
was urged to tell his dream
II dreamed last night that my broth

dreamed that old Cos blew up" AS
COS was his engine, he resisted the
laughter of his friends and would not
take her out. and another man was
sent for to take the job
That afternoon the boiler of Cos ex-
ploded on the road, killing the sub
stitute engineer and the fireman. A
week later the engineers brother was

Il abits of Seals.

The habits of seals are very interest
ing. The very young seal is helpless
in the water until he is taught by his
mother to swim. She takes him into
the water daily on her fin and dumps
him in and when he gets tired Of
floundering about places him on her
fin again and returns to her camp.
When the young seals are well grown
they suddenly disappear with their
mothers and the bull seals. No one
knows where they go, and their return
is equally as sudden as their departure
The bulls are the first to put in an
appearance at the camping ground.
When they arrive they commence at
once to prepare a camp for their mates.
which they stake off and for which
they fight until they die. In the mean-
time the female seals remain quite a
distance from land floating laZily on
the water and seemingly having Il
good time.

Amazing things. beetles,' the nat
uralist said. There's a bombardier
beetle, you know, that carries a gun
of eighteen charges. Eighteen times,
If pursued, this beetle can shoot. I'm
der cover of the noise and smoke he
escapes.
There's a diving beetle that catches
fish. He has a natural diving suit that
enables him to breathe under water.
He will plunge down fifteen or twenty
feet after minnow or young shad.
THE sexton beetle spends it's life
burying dead animals. 1t lays twenty
eggs in each carcass, and thus the
young on Matching have an abundance
OF juicy and high meat to feed on.
Sexton beetles, working together, have
been known to bury a rabbit.
"The skunk beetle is so called not

his antennae furiously and discharge
the vilest odor at you. The common

Baths In Finland.

One of the greatest trials visitor in
Finland has to endure is a Finnish
bath. The method of procedure is
unique Divested of outer clothing
and attired in light and airy cot
ton garment, you are slung in a sort
of hammock composed of cord above
a large receptacle like the boilers in
public laundries. This is almost filed
with cold water, into which at the
right moment is flung a large redhot
brick or piece of iron, which of course
causes an overwhelming rush of steam
to ascend and almost choke you.
Then when that process has gone on
sufficiently long you are shaken out
OF your hammock, immersed In cold
water, and after very drastic treat
ment you resume your raiment, sad
der and wiser than before your novel

OF all the tributes to the genius of
Lord Lister, the discoverer of antisep-
tic surgery, probably the most touch
ing was that paid to him by Pasteur.
the famous French scientist. At a
meeting of savants in Paris many
years ago Lord Lister was present.
and his brilliant achievements were
explained to the audience by Pasteur.
As he progressed in his speech he be-
came more and more emotional, and
ut last he was so carried away by
his own eloquence that the tears stood
in his eyes. Finally he stepped down
from the platform, took Lord Lister,
who was in the front row of the audi
ence, by both hands, led him back on
10 the platform and kissed him on both
cheeks, after the manner of the
French, in full view of the assembly.
Few could have looked on unmoved
at the great Frenchman's act Of hom-
age to the distinguished English sur
geon.

The Skin of Nv Teeth

In the book of Job appears the SEN
tence, Il am escaped with the skin of
my teeth" which is modernized ''by
the skin of my teeth" and gives the
idea of narrow escape, one so close
as to be just by the thickness of the
skin on the teeth, which is so thin
that no microscopic has yet been able
to find it. "To cast in the teeth"
means to throw defiant reproaches or
insults spitefully, as one would cast a
stone at the exposed teeth of a snarl-
ing dog. Tooth and naip' denotes the
manner of an action full Of frenzied
fury, typified by biting and scratching,
as when two belligerent cats make the
fur fly.

Effect of the Sun on Monuments

The perpendicularity of a monument
is visibly affected by the rays of the
sun. On every sunny day tall monu-
ment has a regular swing leading
away from the sun. This phenomenon
is due TO the greater expansion of the
side on which the rays of the sun
fall. A pendulum placed inside, say
Nelson's column, in Trafalgar square,
would be found to describe on every
clear day an ellipse of nearly half an
inch in diameter.-English Mechanic
