On the banks of the Santa Ana river,
in southern California. is II queer col
ony. 1t is situated among tle cliffs
which rise above the river and In
passing during the day qneNwoud not
imagine the place was inhabited, for
the members Of the colony are fast
asleep in the chambers Of the cliffs.
At dusk there is u change. At every
one of the openings with which the
rocks are perforated appears a face
so humanlie in its expression that
the bcholder is apt TO fancy he is see
ing the pixies aud elves Of which he
heard in childhood. The faces belong
to family having the name Of Strix
pratineola, or monkey faced owls. In
the holes Of the cliffs they pass their
days and rear their young. At night
they emerge in flocks and search the
fields for mice and insects.

YOUR NEW COAT AND GOWN.
Ratinss and Sponge Cloths In Woolen
Weaves Much Used.

The success of your new coat or
gown will depend largely upon the
choice Of the material. Suit the mate
rial to your Individual style. Smooth
fabrics look best ON some and rough
fabrics on others. The ratlnes and
sponge cloths, which were 30 much In
use last summer In cotton weaves and
which are again to be seen In woolen
weaves, are rough in style, but soft in
texture. The material Is particularly
fetching In making school suits and
coats for girls. Many Of these are In
plain colors, while others have plain
backgrounds with very narrow stripes
Of another color.
The staple materials for the tailored
suits are the serges and whipcords.
serges with diagonal weaves are pop
ular this fall, and there striped
cheviot serges which are fancied. The
favorite colors are the navy blues and
then the browns. Black and white and

but nothing more. The sound of
splashing had ceased also and for
long0 time we waited In breathless
silence for some reassuring noise from
below. Then from out the darkness
to the left the even voice Of the young
Englishman startled us.
"Come bit this way"
A moment later he appeared, scram-
bling up the sloping rocks at the side,
carrying the Lunger like child in his
arms. II fancy he's knocked his head

marked In a level conversational tone
ms he laid the dripping burden down.
Then as Mrs Loring bent over the un-
conscious boy he picked up his coat
and stepped to one side.
Ten minutes later the Lunger was
able to stand and, leaning on Loring's
arm, to set out on the return Journey.

for the most part In total obscurity,
and l stumbled along, cursing myself

her.

EAGLES IN SWITZERLAND.

The Swiss federal government has
decided to protect the few remaining
eagles left in the Alps. 1t seems that
there are only four nesting-places Of
the eagle still known to exist in the
Alps, and watchers have been told
to guard over them, and to repay
the peasants in the valleys which
they haunt any damage they do.
The work has already been taken in
hand. Last year the eagles made off
with IA lambs, four kids, and one
cat, which were duly paid for. They
cost the government in this way 113
francs. In the valley of Oberiberg
the peasants have tried the expert
ment of putting scarlet collars round
the necks of the newly born lambs in
order to brighten the eagles. The
government is apparently willing to
provide the collars, and the expert
ment has been successful. But the
eagles must live on something, and
they will no doubt in time learn that
the collars are not so alarming after
al.

HAS TURTLES WELL TRAINED
Naturalist Seems to Have Accom-.
plished Something Very Close to
the impossible.

OF all living creatures the turtle
is undoubtedly the slowest in it's
movemen and probably possesses the
least brain. Yet a well-known
American naturalist has succeeded
in training three of these creatures
to do a number of little tricks. He
places them, one above the other on
spools, and if a piece of cabbage OF
other green stuff is held out in
front of them, they will make a
complete circuit, all moving in uni
son, keeping their balance and not
tumbling off. The bigger turtle will
also ring a bell. This it grasps in
one of its fore feet, jerks it off the
ground, and then gives it shake
1t is quite amusing to watch the
slow, deliberate manner in which
this is done. The turtles have al
ways lived in their owners house,
spending their time in the kitchen
hunting down the vermin. One of
the turtles draws a little cert about
the garden, a task which he appar-
emily does not resent in the least.
OF course he is never kept harnessed
for any length of time. He is quite
tame, follows the children about the
garden, and will even eat from their
fingers.

deposit from the bank. The idea is
hat people will deposit small
amounts, if relieved of the necessity
Of going to the bank to do SO, and
also that the sight of the machines
will cause them to deposit coins

The deposits of the bank have shown

CREW OF COLUMBUS.

The list of the officers and sailors
in the first voyage of Columbus was
almost cosmopolitan in its character.
Among them there was a Jew, Luis
de Torres; an Englishman, Arthur
Laws; Italians. Portuguese, Span
iards and several other nationalities,
though, of course, the Spaniards
were largely in the majority. 1t is
maintained by some authorities, with
considerable plausibility, too, that
there was a Scotchman in the list,
and that after Columbus himself he
was the first man to tread the soil
Of the new world.
