SPIRIT OF THE AIR.
1t Permeates the Entire Being of the
Flying Bird.

1t Permeates the Entire Being of the
Flying Bird.
The bird is little more than a drift Of
the air brought into form by plumes.
The air is in all It's quilts. 1t breathes
through its whole frame and flesh and
glows with air in its flying, like brown
dames 1t rests upon the air. subdues
1t, surpasses it, outraces it's the air,
conscious Of itself, conquering itself,
ruling itself. Also in the throat Of
the bird is given the voice of the air
All that in the mind itself is weak,
wild, useless in sweetness, is knit to-
gether in it's song
As we may imagine the wild form Of
the cloud closed into the perfect form
OF the birds wings, so the wild voice
of the cloud into its ordered and com
manded voice. unwearied ripping
through the clear heaven in it's glad
ness, interpreting all intense passion
through the soft spring nights, bursting
into acclaim and rapture of choir at
daybreak or lisping and twittering
among the boughs and hedges, through
the heat Of day like little winds that
only make the cowslip bells shake and
rufile the petals OF the wild rose
Also upon the plumes of the bird are
put the colors of the air; on these the
gold Of the cloud that cannot be gath
cred by any covetousness; the rubies
Of the cloud, that are not the pride of
Athena, but are Athena the vermilion
of the cloud bar, and the flame Of
the cloud crest. and the snow OF the
cloud and its shadow. and the melted
blue of the deep wells of the sky-all
these, seized by the creating spirit and
woven by Athena herself into films
and threads of plume, with wave upon
wave following and fading along
breast and throat and opened wings,
infinite as the dividing of the foam
and the sitting of the sea sand, even
the white down Of the cloud seeming
to futter up between the stronger
plumes seen but too soft for touch
And so the spirit of the air Is put into
and upon this created form, and it be-

symbol of divine help, descending as
the fire to speak, but as the dove to
bless.-From John Ruskin's THE

1t is not an uncommon thing at Ger

any Idea what tremendous changes In

rometer shows an inch fall-that Is, q
thirty-six ton load would be lifted If
the house were air tight But as air
presses in every direction there is as
much of a push upward against the
roof from below as there is of a push
downward from above So the roof
actually feels 40 effect from the re-
moval of this heavy load.
In the same way a man of average
size would be relieved Of a weight OF
about a ton and half If there were
no air chambers in the human body.
1t has been figured that a fall Of an
inch in the barometer over territory
400 miles square removes a weight

WILD PIGS OF BRAZIL.
Fate of Jaguar That Fell Into Their

The wild pigs of Central and South

then in another to meet successive at

''Just then the iaguar let his tail

LILIES OF THE BIBLE.
They Are Wind Flowers, as No True
Lilies Grow In the Holy Land.

They Are Wind Flowers, as No True
Lilies Grow In the Holy Land.
1t is q common belief, even among
well Informed people, that the word
lilly" as used in the sacred text means
a real lily in the modern sense of the
word. This. however, is not the case
No real lily grows or ever grew with
in the confines of the Holy Land The
white lily Lilium candiduml, which is
often mistaken for the plant of Scrip
ture, is not native of Palestine, nor
can it be made to grow there, even In
cultivation. without great care
1t is commonly conceded that the
plant Christ saw about him during the
Sermon on the Mount was the same
plant which in early spring is still
found in great abundance in the val
leys of that country namely, the ori-
entail wind flower (Anemone coronaria).
The tint of its blossoms is from blood
red TO crimson, and 1t is called wind
flower. not, as commonly supposed, be-
cause the slender stemmed blossoms
sway In the breeze, but because the
hairy seeds of some species are carried
and propagated by the wind.
The fact that Christ used the word
"lily" when wind flower or anemone
was meant need not surprise us, for
the word was used as the people Of his
day used it. And all the ancient peo-
pies, even the Greeks. employed the
word lilium or lirion or krinon when
referring to any plant with cuplike
flower Even today, when scientists
speak of common plants, they mention
water lilies" lilies of the valley,
etc, although they know full well that
these plants are not real lilies nor
even closely related to them.-Balti-

TWO GREAT STARS.
Sirius Is the Brightest of All, and Ca
nopus Comes Next.

Sirius is the Brightest of All, and Ca
nopus Comes Next.
The results of that instrument OF
precision, the meridian photometer, are
that Sirius is seven-tenths of a magni-
tude brighter than Canopus, which
easily teaches that Sirius is brighter
than any other star
Canopus. next In brilliancy, is visible
from all that portion of the world
south OF north latitude 81 degrees,
since its declination is south SO degrees
and 53 is the complement of 81.
1t therefore never rises above the
south horizon of any point 81 degrees
north. The latitude Of this obserya
tory is 81 degrees II minutes; hence
Canopus rises very nearly degrees
above the watery wastes In the Pacific
sea- Its low altitude makes it much
fainter than higher Sirius, as the light
must traverse layers OF dust and wa
ter vapor near the earth's surface.
Still it is magnificent especially when
standing over calm ocean surface.
Canopus has no parallax that the
highest power telemicrometers that
can be made are able to measure. This
Is one of the most overwhelming facts
within the entire range of human ex
perience This means that if one goes
to Canopus with the most powerful
telescope ever made, turns and looks
back this way. the base line, the entire
diameter of the orbit of the earth

BrookfieId Wrote With Either Hand.
Among the many accomplishments
possessed by Charles Brookfeld was
the exceedingly useful art of being
able to write with either hand. This
he owed to the early training of his
mother, who when the future dramatic
censor was a baby fell a victim to
writer's cramp She thereupon learn
ed to write with the left hand and soon
became proficient. In 1864 Mrs Brook
field published her first novel, which
she claimed to have written through
out with her left hand AS soon az
her children could use a pen they wg
taught to hold 1t in either hand ind1r-
ferently. and this early training served
Charles Brookfield in good stead when

BONEMEAL GOOD FOR SWINE
Very Good Results Secured at Nilsson
ri Station-R esuIt of Test at
Nebraska Station.

All kinds of bonemeal are used in
the manufacture of fertilizers, but
not all kinds are suitable for feed for
swine. Bonemeal from a glue factory
which has gone through the process
in which acid was used is not suitable
feed. But any bonemeal, especially
green bone, that is ground finely
enough, may be fed. Steamed bone
meal is good.
At the Missouri station bonemeaI
was fed with very good results. About
an ounce of meal was fed to each hog
per day.
At the Nebraska station four lots of
pigs were fed to determine the value
of wheat short, tankage and steamed
ground bone as supplemental to corn
meal. The hogs we're pastured on
alfalfa, and for this reason the lot fed
on corn alone made about IS salts
factory gain as any, although the lot
which was fed bonemeal in addition to
the corn had the strongest bone.
Shorts siren CITIZEN the bone some,
and tankage with corn produced
much stronger bone than corn alone.
Where mixed rations were given, or
skim milk or good pasture, all of
which supply ash material, it is doubt
full that bonemeal is of much value
other than for the purpose Of strength
ening the bones.
