The Longevity Of Birds.

It is not always easy to estimate the
duration of the life of a bird. Posi-
bly, captivity shortens the birds life;
on the other hand, the wild bird does
not die of old age, but as the result
of an accident, or at the hands of an
enemy
According to Naumann, the natural
ist, the nightingale lives for eight or
nine years. the canary from twelve to
fifteen, and the blackbird twelve
years 1t is a fact that the vulture
was kept in cage in the geological
garden In Vienna for 11S years, and
that in the same garden was falcon
one hundred and siXty-two years old
Living in the same garden was an
eagle known to have lived for one
hundred and four years, The mean
age of eagles is 60 years. and Won
Humboldt saw in South America a
parrot which spoke language spoken
by people who had vanished from
the earth more than one hundred
years before that time.

The spider that made bold to sit
down beside little Muffit must have
been very teri .ble spider to frighten
her from the dish of curds and whey.
Miss Muffit lived in the time when lit

them. The present day little Miss
Muffits would be better of if they ate
them.
Milk Is composed Of solids and wa

curd in the country. is rich in casein.
1t contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,

The Seas Ventilation.

One of the reasons formerly urged
against the existence of living crea
lures in the abysses of the ocean was
the supposed absence of oxygen there
1t was deemed impossible that any
considerable quantity of oxygen could
exist at great depths. But discov-
cries of recent date have shown that
there is no lack of oxygen even at the
greatest depths This explanation Is
that the cold water of the polar re-
gions, charged with the oxygen from
the atmosphere. creeps along the bot
tom toward the equator from both poles
and thus carries supply of oxygen
over the whole vast floor of the oceans
The surface water moves toward the
poles, and so a great system of circu-
lation exists. We're it not for this
world circulation. one authority as
sures US. 1t is altogether probable that
the ocean would in time become too
foul to sustain animal life, at least
in its higher manifestations and the
sea, the mother of life would itself be
dead.

boards of my room Immediately below where
the watches hung. To my amazement, when
the first board was raised, there was the
large oldfashioned silver watch, perfectly safe

left it, for the small parchment label con-
the hanlle
The second board was raised, and there,
madam. was your watch, perfectly safe, but
also without its parchment label. After this,
there was no more room left for doubt as to
who had been the thief. Finding nothing to
cat here more to their taste, and being very
hard up, the rats had fixed on these parch-
ment labels, ami for greater convenience had
removed the watches from the hooks to their
haunts below the boards.
