A Color Transition.

An aged colored man was engaged
in burning the grass off the lawn of a
young broker when the latter returned
to his home and, thinking to have
some fun with the old man, said:
''Sambo, if you burn that grass. the
entire lawn will be as black as you
are"
Oats all right, subj" responded the
negro. Some o. desc days dat grass
grow up an be as green as youth are"

Awesome Tale Spun BY Ac-

A Logan's Ferry. Pa. c,rrespor-
dent tells this tall yar':
One of the most curious tviderces
of the sagacity and gratitude of
birds was given here today on the
Puckety Creek farm Of Tyson Pollet.
Mr.. Pollet is a man Of sympathetic
nature and has for years made a
practice of protecting and feeding
the birds which remain on his farm
for the winter. The sio1t of the
venerable agriculturist feeding
swarms of birds on cold winter
mornings has been a familiar one in
this vicinity for years Wherever
Mr.. Pollet goes some of the birds
are certain to follow. This morning
Mr.. Pollet missed a fine young
Hamiltonian colt, and few hours
later found it hopelessly mired in
the middle of a quicksand bog of

Returning to his house to procure
his rifle to go and shoot the colt, he
noticed that his friends, who were
very much excited suddenly scatter.
ed away in all directions. uttering
shrilI cries. He thought nothing Of
the matter until he arrived at the
edge Of the bog, into which the
colt had sunk by this time 70 his

midst q deafening chatter and with
the whirling sound of myriads of
wings. the entire mass arose, bear
ing the colt in the center, and with
out stopping flew in a direct line to
Pollet's barn, where they set the
terrified colt down in safety, flew
around with glad cries moment or
so and then scattered to the woods.

KILL SHARKS FOR FUN.
Kanakas Can Whip the Man Eaters In
"A Fair Fiuht,


In the Pacific ocean lives a race OF
men who outswim fish and who can
kill man eating sharks in o fair fight
They are Kanakas, the scamen who
are natives of the Hawaiian Islands.
"a native can whip shark because
he can outswim him." states an Amer
lean who has been living in the Islands
many years. II never heard Of a ma
tive being injured by shark, and
there Is superstition among them
that shark is afraid of a Kanaka and
will refuse to fight. This is not true,
however, and grew out Of the fact that
a native always whips shark. A
Kanal1a will spy shark and, taking
knife between his teeth, dive In after
him. 1t is fair fight, because the
shark has teeth that are as deadly as
the knife. The shark will make for
the swimmer, and when 1t is in range
will flop suddenly on its side, which
position is necessary before it can use
its powerful jaws to crush an enemy.
AS the shark turns the native will sink
RAPIDLY and come up and rip the crea-
ture open with a quick slash Of the
knife. Sometimes they will avoid the
shark time after time, cutting 1t on
the nose and priclsing 1t to arouse Its
anger.

ight."--Detroit Free Press.

TUBES FOR LUNGS.
Complex System by Which Insects Are
Enabled to Breathe.

Enabled to Breathe.
While mammals have lungs and
fishes giIls, insects have neither one
nor the other. Instead they present a
complex system Of tubes running
throughout the length of their bodies,
whereby the air is conveyed to every
part Of the system.
10 guard insects against collapse
from pressure of air, nature has fur
nished the little creatures with a fine
thread running spirally within the
walls of the tube, just as a garden
hose is protected with wire.
Many flies live first In the water as
larvae Arranged along each side of
their bodies Is a series Of exceedingly
thin plates, into each Of which runs a
series Of blood vessels. These plates
are placed to absorb the oxygen con-
tanned in the water. The tail ends in
three featherlike projections, and by
means of these the larvae cause cur.
rents Of water to flow over the gllls,
and thus their efficiency Is increased
Gnats also exist in the water as
larvae. But they have no gills. Their
breathing Is accomplished by means Of
q tube situated at the tip Of the tail.
The larvae floats along head downward
in the water, with this tube just above
the surface SO that the creatures may
breathe.--Harper's Weekly.

R;obt Handed Parrots,

Past the parrot cages walked the
bird fancier, poking an inquisitive
finger at the birds.
"r am looking for right handed
parrot, he said, "but there doesn't seem
to be one in this lot. Most parrots are
left handed Training, not nature,
made them so.
'gTheir owners are right handed and
when putting out finger for the bird
to stand on it Is most convenient for
him to step up with the left foot. In
q little while that left handed action
becomes second nature and he doesn't
know how to use his right foot first
"The only right handed parrots have
belonged to left handed persons. In
their training the order was reversed.
The left finger was extended for a
perch and the bird naturally grasped
1t with his right foot. New York Sun.

sinaina Wires.


Sometimes when q tempest is raging
telegraph wires are silent while in
time of calm they are sonorous Evi-
dently the vibration of the wires is not
due to atmospherical agitation alone,
"A scientist OF Berlin who studied the
cause Of the singing Of wires in time
of calm concludes that the vibration
of the wires always presages the ap-
proach Of bad weather. When the
sounds are deep the change of weather
may be looked for within two days.
When they are shrill or sharp the
storm will come within very few
hours. 1t is difficult to determine the
cause OF the singing, An italian scien-
tist calls 1t Seismic agitation produced
by barometric depression and trans.
mitted to the wires by the telegraph
poles."--Harper's Weekly.

praver Halls In Russia,

In the villages of Russia the prayer
hall' is the common izba or cottage
of a Stundlst moujik, or shed attach
ed to very primitive farmstead sur
rounded by prodigious quantities Of
mud, dust or snow, according to the
season of the year. A separate build
ing erected expressly for worship
among the rural evangelicals of Rus
sia is n luxury yet to be provided In
the great majority of cases. The meet
ing place, whether izba or outhouse,
has walls of earth. 1t Is without cell
ing. The floor is the bare earth, trod-
den hard by many feet through the
lapse Of long years and worn into Jumps
and hollows. The walls are lime washs
ed and destitute Of decoration or adorn-
