spruce Trees Nursed bv Pines,

A singular fact with regard to the re
lations of different species of trees has
been brought out by the reforestation
of the peninsula of Jutland, Denmark.
1t was observed that when planted
alone spruce trees did not prosper.
but that IL a spruce vas planted near
a mountain pine 1t grew up vigorously.
Further experiment has shown that II
the pines are placed ear the spruces
at the beginning and after being al
lowed to grow together with them for
a few years are cut down the benefit
to the spruce continues. The phenom-
enon is not understood, says Profess
sor ]. w. Harshberger, but 1t is sup
posed that the roots Of the mountain
pine are inhabited by some mycorhiza
which produces the nitrogen needed by
the trees and that this organism is
transferred to the roots Of the sur
rounding spruce. Once the infection
has taken place the presence of the
pine Is no longer necessary.

pedes and millepedes to determine the
manner in which these animals man
age TO use their superintendent pedal
extremities so gracefully and harmo
niously. II has been found that the
legs move In groups or waves. each
wave including a definite number of
legs. The number Of waves included
In the length Of the body is constant
for each species. In millepedes the
waves Of each side are synchronous
In centipedes they are symmetically
alternate, giving rise to beautifully &C
cordant movements. The difference
may be explained by suggesting that
the millepede moves like a pacing

Old rims London Sundays,

Now and then one hears Londoners
complaining that their Sunday is too
dull. They want more amusements,
attractions, life. But had they lived
In the seventeenth century they would
have found a vast difference. At that
period a Sunday In London was a day
Of trials. One had only to fetch or
carry to break the Sabbath. Men were
fined for carrying such things as q
haunch Of venison and a pair Of shoes.
while another individual had to pay
up for swearing or a Sunday. A duke
and a knight were fined again and
again for riding in their carriages on
the first day of the week, and one un-
fortunate pedestrian had to pay a SOW
ereign because he was caught In the
act of strolling from Bristol to Bath
on a Sunday.-Pearson's Weekly.

TRAPPING EAGLES.
The Chinese Get Them With a 5aited
Net and a Decoy Bird.

The Chinese Get Them With a 5aited
Net and a Decoy Bird.
Every year, according to an old Gus.
tom, In the second quarter of the sep.
TENDER or October moon, the inhabit-
ants of the Chinese province of Shan
tung go to Mongolia to hunt the eagles
which abound in hat region. The
huntsmen march in troops along the
roads, carrying on their shoulders long
poles from which are suspended theiI
baggage and provisions and on which
are perched tame eagles TO be used AZ
decoys.
The hunters make use of a large net,
spread open on the ground and baited
with small dried fishes, In the midst
OF which Is placed a tame eagle. The
decoy naturally begins to devour the
bait and thus invites its wild cousins
to follow its example. When the birds
have alighted and are feeding the
hunter, from his hiding place two or
three hundred yards distant, quickly
closes the net by means of cords and
thus captures the eagles.
Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The
feathers are used In the manufacture
OF fans and are sold at a high price
In China. There are three sorts
Kicpei. black with white centers; Che
ma, white spotted with black; Tout.
sing, half white and half black. Sew
eral eagles contribute to the making
Of q fan. for only a small part Of the
plumage cGn be utilized: hence these
fans are very costly.
