SAVING THE BIRDS.

The Audubon societies of the coun-
kty have just been holding their annu-
al meeting in New York. AS a result
nf campaign extending over the last
dBcade, they report that bird-life is
each yeeT becoming safer and public
cooperation more effective. The as
socsataon is responsible for the New
Hork piumage law which prohibits the
aaas OF the feathers of many nativs
birds, as well as those Of related spe-
sizes abroad, and which has proved an
Important check on dealers engaged
In the feGther traffic. The association
has ALSO been active in guarding the
many colonies OF aigrette-bearing
Birds along the east and south Allan
ksc coast. During the past year the
associated societies have spent in the
ocUFBe OF their benefcent work, some
$3s ,0o0-money well laid out, as it
gives coGntercheck to the thought
aessness of fashion, the greed OF bust

England has suddenly awakened to
p realization OF the fact that 95 per
cent of Canadian postgraduate stu
dents go TO American or German uni
Tersities to complete their education.
Naturally she wonders why such sit
nation exists. Are not Oxford and
Cambridge the equals of any foreign
Institutions? They are, in deed, but
they take no particular pains to let
any one know it, says the Boston
Transcript. C1inging to their old con
SENTATIVE traditions, they are about a
century behind the rest of the world
in the matter of publicity, and have
never been known to set forth the cp-
pOrtunities they offer for advanced
work. On the other hand, foreign uni
Tersities not only advertise themselves
extensively, but they even grant fell
sowshlps to postgraduate students,
often awarding them on the nomina.

USE FOR OLD BLUEPRINTs
Bleaehed by Simple Process, They
Furnish Sketch Paper of
Fair Grade.

In the engineering department of
every mine Office, blueprints will accu-
mulate until the quantity has reached
amazing proportions. Some compa-
MES keep record and file of all prints
made and at periodical times destroy
the old ones. In addition to this, says
the Engineering and Mining Journal,
at the time of printing, there is sure
to be certain waste due to poor ex-
posures, blotchy paper, etc. A1nethod
for turning this waste into a useful
article is presented by E. B. Birken-
bend, in the American Machinist.
These old or useless prints may be
bleached by immersing them in a soda
bath containing four ounces of soda
to one gallon OF water If it 10 desired
to bleach only portion of the print,
this may be done by painting that part
with this solution. BY washing the
prints in fresh water, after bleaching,
any discoloration is prevented. The
blank paper thus obtained furnishes
fair grade of sketch paper, and
there are numerous other usec to
which Il could also be put.

THE WoBBLY EARTH.

II the axis of the earth were pro-
longed into the skies it would not be
fixed on the same point from one day
to the other. This planet keeps up a
or other, the scientist cannot find out.
but they do know that the alleged pole
does describe an Overwhelming series
of concentric circles every year, and
across the widest circle described is
distance of over so feet. There is a
circle of obseryatories around the
earth that gather the data for these
conclusions. A Japanese professor in
the University of Japan is the man de-
pended upon by the scientific world to
make these intricate calculations. He
has made diagram, showing the con-
centric circles about the theoretical ex-
tremity of the earth's axis, and it in
dictates that the earth is by no means
mathematical certainty. In fact. it
contributes to the earth a very wobbly
character The cause of this uncer-
tainty is attributed to the influence of
ocean currents, atmosphere circulation,
changes in the earth's crust, and cleo
trio waves. Still, Notwithstanding
these powerful influences, the earth
comes around to the same point every
six or seven years, the time allotted
by psychologists for complete change

THE SLEEP OF FISHES.

Experiments have been made In an
English aquarium with regard to the
sleep of fishes, says Harpers Week
~. It Ia necessary to remember that
sleep is the rest of the brain. and that
the need of it will be in proportion
to the animals cerebral activity.
Now the brain Of fish is ridiculous
fy small in relation to the actual size
OF the animal. Il is merely a double
row of tiny protuberances, with a leaf
Like portion corresponding 10 the GER
ebellum Of other animals Since they
have so little brain tissue, the waste
to be repaired by sleep is slight among
fishes The result OF careful expert
ment has shown that among fresh wa
ter fishes the reach, dace, gudgeon,
carp, tench and minnow are known to
sleep periodically, like land animals;
among marine fishes the wrasse, con-
ger eel, dory, dogfish, bass and all fat
fish do the like, while the goldfish.
pike and angler fish never sleep. but
rest periodically Fish seem to have
no preference for the night as their
sleeping time a naturalist travelling
from Constant in0ple to London in a
small schooner reported that one morn
ing he noticed pilot fish few inches
from the side Of the vessel swimming
so steadily that it seemed to be at
taehed to one particular spot. All day
long 1t remained there, neither advanc-
ing nor tagging behind, and so it hap
pened for several days. Then came
gale Of wind, and the vessel was sep
afated from It's little companion. It
was evident that the fish could not
have slept during all this time. as the
vessel was sailing quite rapidly. The
captain, moreover, asserted that he
had known pilot fish to accompany
vessel thus for more than . fort
night.
