Guinea PIGS as Lawn Mowers.

In America the humble guinea pig is
used largely to advance the cause of
science by succumbing to different
germs, by refusing TO weaken after
generations OF intense inbreeding, and
by generally tending to prove" what
ever the scientists want to prove. But
over in England the guinea pig is be-
ing used as lawn mower with great
effect. He is more than n mere ma
chine at that, for we are assured that
he not only clips the lawn evenly, but
with rare discrimination removes all
the weeds therefrom. Guinea pigs null
tiply very rapidly and almost any one
can get enough to keep his lawn
moved If he starts early in the spring.
We thought the American farmer who
tied his lawn mower to an automobile
and skited around over his lawn had
solved the problem, but the English
moving system has certain points of
superiority which increase our respect
for British ingenuity .-National Stock

Immediately after his arrival he went
to the Sistlne chapel to hear the IA
nous "Miserere" OF Allegri Being
aware that 1t was forbidden to take or
give a copy of this renowned piece of
music, Mozart placed himself in a cor
