was satisfied. On number OF occasions
surfeit of house mice was offered, but
the owl would not eat to exceed more
than three mice at one time.
Once the process Of disgorging Q pellet
was observed. The owl was about to be
fed, when it commenced q series Of con-
tortions which seemed to involve the
whole body. Three Of these movements
or contortions took place, then q pellet
was thrown from the OWLS mouth. It
was nearly two inches long and about
three-quarters Of an inch at its greatest
diameter. 1t was covered with Shiny
substance which made it very slippery.
The pellet dried quickly, when no trace Of
any greasy substance was found, and it is
therefore probable that the lubricating
matter must be lodged in the threat and
stomach Of the owl and is only used in
pellet, not being mixed with the whole
mass.
The feeding habits Of Asio were very in
teresting, and repaid the labor OF secur-
ing his daily fare OF mice, which was the
favorite food; raw beef or other meat was
refused unless the owl were very hungry.
AT first only such food was taken as was
thrown into the cage, and then only when
the owl was left alone; but after about
ten days captivity, food was taken from
the hand, il the bird were very hungry,
but not otherwise. The owl would look
at the proffered meal, first with one eye
and then with the other, and finally, with
q stroke as quick as flash Of lightning,
would catch the food with foot, usually
the left one, but never with the bill; al.
ferred from the foot to the bill. The two
movements were sometimes so quickly
made that it was impossible to follow
them with the eye.
Mice, no matter how large, were in
variably swallowed whole, tail first. Be-
fore eating an English sparrow, portion
of the plumage was removed; first the
large feathers OF the wings and tail were
pulled out, together with some from the
back. All the smaller and softer feathers
were swallowed. The head was eaten first,
followed by the soft portions OF the body
and finally the breast and wings. All the
bones were swallowed, as well as the legs
and feet.
An attempt was made to associate q
screech owl in the same cage with the
short-eared owl, but it proved decidedly
unsuccessful, and it was impossible to
determine which OF the two owls was the
most frightened. The screech owl
crouched in one corner OF the cage and
uttered a series Of low whistles, while the
larger bird jumped from end to end OF the
cage in frantic manner, Kissing and
swapping its bill. Peace and quietness
was maintained only by q separation OF
the thoroughly frightened owls. Shortly
after this both owls were taken at night to
q clump Of pines in Central Park, New
York city, whore they were liberated, and
the last seen Of them was their shadowy
forms disappearing in the dim light of the
stars twinkling through the arches of the
grove.

It was bound to come. French aviators are forming themselves into an aviation syndicate, the object being the common protection of their interests, so that, for instance, If at any meeting the organizers should fail to treat the aviators proper ly or attempt to shirk the obligations and the contracts, the syndicate will be able to lend moral and. if necessary, legal sup port to its members.
 Since these services are partly the rais- on d'etre of the F. I. A., 1t Is believed in certain quarters that the real object of this trade union of aviators Is to come to an agreement among themselves with re- gard to a minimum wage or fee for fly ing No mention has yet been made of an eight-hour day.

 It has come out fancying there is no air in the burrow. But the trouble Is pneumonia. A passing human being might save it if he could catch it; but of cours , the startled creature would scramble away into the bush and die in solitude. The most obvious, perhaps. of all cases or neglect where a little attention would right matters, Is when aimals put their limbs out of joint, or break them, or burst blood vessels.
 A little human surgery in the wood land would bring about happy recoveries. But as nature does not attend to such matters many a rabbit fox, pheasant, mouse or other animal loses Its life over what among us is regarded as the most trifiing accident.

Disastrous Results of Attempts ts
 Transplant Races of People.

From Stray Stories.
 A commencement has been made in a most remarkable and long talked or enterprise. This Is nothing less than the transplanting of the Lapps from Lapland. where they were dying race, to Labrador, where it is hoped they will flourish and increase.
 Whether these hopes will be justified or not remains to be seen. Similar ex- periments in the past have seldom been wholly successful, and some have re- suited disastrously.
 The Dukhobors, for instance, who ln 1899 were transplanted to the number of 5000 or 5000, from their homes in southern Russia to the Canadian north west. were for time in dire straits They also behaved erratically, march ing naked through the snow, and abandoning their flocks and herds to the wolves. They are now, however, reported to be settled down and doing better.
 On the other hand, the attempt made some 80 years ago to transplant the Roskolnikis of the Don country to a new home that was supposed to have been found for them in eastern Turkes- tan resulted in one of the most ghasuy tragedies.
 The huge caravan lost it's way in the desert and was never heard of again. the probability being that hunger and thirst, with the attacks of nomad rob bers, were responsible for the deaths of the entire party.
 Equally dreadful was the fate that befell the 10000 Jutlanders transplant ed to the east coast of Greenland by Queen Margaret of Sweden. At first they flourished exceedingly. Villages

Lost Millions, But Still Happy.

 This means that the Texas planters are out of pocket the enormous sum of s120, 900 900, reckoning an 8 valuation of but s6O to the bale, although s70 is nearer the mark. But even with the short crop. in view of the prices the farmers have re- ceived, the state is in extremely good shape, and there is abundant prosperity. Immigrants of the best quality are pour Ing in and buying our lands right and left our towns are growing faster than those of any southern state, and yet the rural districts are becoming thickly peo- pied also"

A thousand million francs was the amount which the radicals and socialists predicted would be netted by the state from the dissolved congregations. With this and the property annexed from the to provide old age pensions with scarcely any cost to the nation or to the employ ers said enthusiastic reformers.
 There were over TOO congregations to be dispersed and relieved of their vast, ill., acquired and rl-used wealth." Since 1901, when the realization of this supposed hoard began, only 32S liquidations have been effected. Last year the liquidators more prompt than usual, disposed of lOl of these conventual and monastic proper ties. Some four hundred remained to be dealt with By this date the number may have been reduced to 3Oo, but the exact results are not just now procurable
 On the milliard estimate the state liqui- dators should have raked in, say, S16O0O.- 0OO, enough to build a fleet of super Dreadnoughts. But all they have given the public treasury is a beggarly tip of 5.4l4, ,79l francs net, rather less than $3OO,- 000
 The wealth of the French congrega- tons was grotesquely estimated, as the cooler heads among the anti-clericals and monk baiters long ago warned their credulous friends. But this does not ac- count for the poverty of the results Par liamentary reports hint at extravagant over-charges under the heads of liquida- tions and legal process. .and of long bills wholly imaginary, or. at any rate, with out details.
 Far worse has been the leakage caused by ghostly terrors. Throughout this long process of liquidation, priests and monks have been inducing ''the faithful to re- frain from hiding at sales of the conf1s- cated property. Excommunication has been threatened for disobedience And so valuable possessions have gone flor a song" the "faithfu1' themselves profit ing at the last, with permission. by the depreciation.
 At last the government is waking to a serious danger which has for years threatened the countryside danger of the large and ever increasing army of func- tionaries Mir Cochery, the minister Of finance, is the first member of the gov ernment to take action. He has just ad- dressed a significant circular to the em- ployes in this department. He asks them to send in reports making suggestions as to how the service can be smplified The idea underlying this circular is to sup press useless posts, and to save the tax payers money.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 Human beings are the only living or ganisms on the face of the earth that look after their sick comrades. Nature runs us very close in. most things; most of the animals know how to protect their young and keep themselves in food and housing, but the all important surgeon physician and hospital are entirely want ing.
 Such domestic animals as the horse, COW. dog and cat are, of course. doctored like human beings, but this is only be- cause they are in our immediate care. The ailing wanderer of the woodland is left severely alone.
 You might perhaps imagine that nature
