Why Cuckoo Never Builds.

Danish legend about the cuckoo is
very curious. 1t relates that when in
the early springtime it's voice is first
heard in the woods every village girl
kisses her hand and asks the question:
Cuckoo. cuckoo, when shall be mar
ried?" And the old people, borne down
with age and rheumatism, ask: "Cuck-
90, cuckoo, when shall I be released
from this worlds cares?" The bird in
reply continues to sing "Cuokoor" And
as many times as he sings theD count
one year to the fulfillment of their de-
sires.
1t Is said that the poor bird has so
many questions put to her that before
she realizes II the building season has
gone by and she is forced to put her
eggs into the hedge-sparrow's nest

How much of all that is beautiful in
this life is gained at the cost of pain
and suffering and toll and loss. Now
here comes a scientist from Springfield
Mass, who declares that the pearl
chaste and blushing gem. joy of the
bride, glory of the princess, for which
men have dared death in the chasms OF
the deep, is but the result of disease
is produced by the stricken oyster in his
battle with his hook worm, or tape
worm, or whatever the oyster world may
call its besetting parasite.
That is the way science gives our pride
a tumble enthusiastically. And. to add
to our humiliation. the investigator goes
on to assert that in the connection of our
priceless treasures the muskrat is a CO.
laborer with the mollusk All this start.
ling information is divulged in the report
of Charles B. Wilson. who. under the
auspices of the government. has made
a special study OF the fresh-water clans
of the country.
Mr.. Wilson has found that there are
two species of worms that live in the
substance of the shellfish. It has long
been known that the larvae or young of
this group of worms is parasitic. Indeed,
there are five species of them that at
tack men and produce all sorts of dis
agreeable and dangerous ailments. Other
species choose to live in frogs, and now
Mr.. Wilson's researches bring out the
truth that two distinct species infest the
mollusks and that the attack of each
species is responsible for a different kind
of pearl.
How Pearl Is Formed.
This is how the pearl comes to be
formed in the shellfish: The worm at
tacks and finds a Judgment in the back,
or the mantle, of the mussel and sets
up an irritation. To defend and possibly
cure itself, the shellfish pours out about
the intruder a quantity of the limy Sc
erection of which the beautiful pearl-col-
ored shell is composed. These soon form
hardened accretions which we call pearls
But what does the muskrat have to do
with it? Well, the scientist confidently
asserts that without the muskrat there
would be no baroque pearls. These are
the large, irregular pearls that are found
In the back of the shellfish. The worm
which causes the formation Of these
pearls lives first in the muskrat. The
ruskrats eat the mussels, and, while
destroying some of the shellfish, at the
same time furnish to others the stimu-
lus to make the beautiful gems. 1t Is a
curious cycle. The adult worms lay
their eggs in the intestincs of the musk
rat, and these eggs are in turn dis
by the animal in such a way
as to obtain Judgment in the shellfsh.
into larvae, they pass through
he substance of the mollusk and find
themselves at home in the muscle of the
,reature's back. Here they set up the

junction Of disease and beauty goes on

SOME STATISTICS ABOUT OCEANS

An officer of an Atlantic liner once re-
.larked that most men seemed to be
as ignorant about the size of the sea
as they are OF the distance between
heavenly planets. Here are few facts.
The Pacific covers 6s,OOO.OOO miles; the
Atlantic 100000, and the Indian Ocean,
Arctic. and Antarctic 100000. To stow
away the contents of the Pacific 1t
would be necessary to fill a tank one
mile long, and one mile wide and one

would have each of its sides 43 miles

1t is a mistake to suppose that there
are no antiCsIities in our country, as
there are in Europe. We may not, IL
is true, have old Cathedrals palaces, and
castles, around which the romance Of
history fingers. but we have many things
that date further back than the Middle
Ages-things, too. which are relics Of a
people long extinct. and Of whose exist
ence there is neither record nor tradi-
ton.
Much has been written about the mound
builders, and the mounds, which are 10
be found throughout the whole valley
watered by the Mississippi system.
The States of Illinois, Missouri, and
Ohio are particularly rich in these re-
mains, while large numbers of mounds
are also found in the Gulf States.
A CORRESPONDENT calls attention to the
fact that there are thirty-two mounds
on Sunfower River, Miss. just below
where Lake George enters into that
river. This lake is thirty miles long and
a fourth of a mile wide. Many people
believe that it is piece of engineering
work done by the people who built the
mounds
One of these mounds on the Sunfiower
River is ninety feet high. Some of them
are surrounded by terraces twenty feet
broad and fifteen feet high.
These mounds do not appear to have
been built for any particular purpose.
They give evidence of having been used
as place of sculpture, as affairs of sacri-
flee, and as places of defense. The peo-
pie who built them seem to have been
constantly beset by savage neighbors,
and their life must have been one con-
tinuous struggle for self-preservatiOn.
But they were slxillful and patient, and
their defensive mounds We're built in po-
sitions which gave them strategic i'm
portance and near water supply.
There are many of these forts in Ash
land County, Ohio. When the early set
tiers first came to that country in 1872,
the mounds were densely covered with
trees, which have since been cleared

these mounds have all been reduced by
the pillow, but. standing on one of the
mounds the next one could very easily

Recently several OF these intrenchments
