How the picture Animals Talk.

A Partisan novelty Is picture
book OF animals. and each animal ut
tiers its own characteristic cry. The
pictures represent the most familiar
domestic animals, and each animal
speaks its own language. To cause
IT to break silence nothing Is neces-
sary but to pull little string at the
edge of the book.
In the books are to be seen a
rooster, a COW, lamb, little birds In
their nest, a donkey, a cuckoo, a goat.
On the last page are children who are
welcoming their parents. BY pulling
the string at the right page the cry
OF any particular creature Is ELECTED.
The listener hears the donkey heehaw
and the rooster crow. The Growing Is
we'll initiated The string Is pulled
again and the lamb bleats, the birds
twitter, the cuckoo sings, the cow
moos, or the little children call out
papa" and mamma"
These interesting results are OBJ
tanned simply by the aid Of small bel
lows placed I'm box hidden in the
book. When the string is pulled the
air enters the corresponding bellows
and Is thence expelled by a spring.
The air makes It's exit through spe-
ciaI tube appropriate for each cry.
and at the same time the bellows
meets with obstacles placed on Q
wire.

MEANING OF "AT HALF MAST"

For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever a prominent person dies,
especially II he is connected with the
government. the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and
Express. This is called half mast
Did you ever stop to think what con-
nection there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death Of great man?
Ever since f1ages were used in war
1t has been the custom to have the
flag of the superior or conquering ma
ton above that of the inferior or van
pushed. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten 1t hauled its flag
down far enough for the flag OF the
victors to be placed above 1t on the
same pole. This was a token not
only OF submission. but Of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out Of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life OF all kinds.

sign that the dead man as worthy

FLED BEFORE FLAMES
RUSSIAN PEASANTS SUFFERERS
FROM PRAIRIE FIRES.
Huge Areas Devastated and Human
Lives, as Well as Live Stock,
Sacrificed-WhoIe Settle
ments Wiped Out.

Midsummer in Russia has been ush-
cred In by great epidemic OF fires
on the steppes.
The intense dryness of the season
has spread the fires over a huge area.
One Of the most dreadful fires that
the Russian steppes have ever seen
ragged a few days ago In the Province
of Turgai. on the other side of the
Ural mountains, and to the northeast
OF the Caspian. On these steppes vast
seas Of grass stretch to the horizon,
raised only by shrubs of the wild
cherry and dwarf almond on the hill
sides or by clumps of NORWOOD when
the soil is clayey. Herds of cattle
and horses Craze on the plains.
II was early in the morning when
mighty clouds of smoke suddenly rose
up from the steppe. sure sign to the
Inhabitants that fire was in progress.
So appalling was the speed with
which the fire rolled over the dry and
yellow grass that the peasants had
quickly to concert measures for saw
Ing just their own lives from destruc-
ton. Feverish activity prevailed In
all the villages until the tongues of
flame which came on nearer and near
er with uncanny swiftness appeared
on the horizon.
Swept forward by the rushing wind,
sparks from the confiagration kindled
in advance another fire. which in
short time enveloped 10000 acres OF
grazing ground. Swifter and swifter.
before the wind dashed on the wall of
fiery waves. Enormous pillars of
flame shot up into the air. The sue
ton was so strong that slabs of turf
and burning branches were hurled up
into the air and thrown far away.
Men and cattle were hard put to 1t
TO save themselves. Their least dan
ger was Of being scorched by the fiery
breath which swept on ahead of the
furnace. Women and children who
sank helpless to the ground were
dragged along by the other villagers,
for only hasty flight was now of any
avail. But even this would not have

their path, into which they all rushed.

Imagine. then. hundreds of persons
standing in the waters up to their
shoulders. while all round them
masses of flame ran along the banks
and sent out pickering tongues over
the water in their direction. baffled in
their thirst for victims.
Some of the Inhabitants of the vii
lagos on the steppes directly they saw
the fire advancing set to work to burn
large areas. and on these GASES they
collected all their cattle and household
goods. At last heavy shower came
and extinguished the prairie fire.
