Strange Objects.

The sun had risen in a Cloudless sky
y lovely spring morning had succeeded
night of gloom and disaster, and the
first sound that greeted his wondering
ears was the twittering of the busy
sparrows on the housctops OF course

These articles, with many others, were
represented by a bundle of pawn tickets
stuffed into one of the envelopes of his
mothers packet of letters. But the ex-
perienCe of even few weeks had taught
him roughly how to estimate time by
the sun, and he guessed the hour to be
S o'clock, or therea bouts.
His first thought was of the meteor.
His toilet was that of .primeval man,
being mere matter of rising and
stretching his stiff limbs. While la p
ing his boots he noticed that the f0sr

AS the day wore and full details came
to hand the list of mishaps would be
doubled, while scientific observers
would begin a nine days wrangle in
the effort to determine the precise
reason why the. electrical disturbance
should have been wholly confined to
the metropolitan area. Philip Arson,
a ragged boy of Is, residing, in a desc
late nook of the most disheVeled dis
triCt in the East End, possessed the
very genesis of the mystery yet the
web of fate was destined to weave
a spell that would deity close his
lips.
Meanwhile he wanted his break

TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.

After he had eaten he dried his damp
for pair so worn that they scarcely
held together. But their dryness was
comforting An added feeling of CON
tentment largely induced by the heat
of the grateful fire, rendered his actions
leisurely. Quite half an hour elapsed
before he thought Of peeping through
the back window to ascertain the prog
ress Of external events. The rain was
not now pelting down with abnormal
fury. 1t was still falling, but with the
quiet persistence that marks-in London
parlance-"a genuine wet day" The
steam had almost vanished. When he
removed his coat from the broken panes
he saw with surprise that the fagstones
in the yard were dry within a circle
of two feet around the hole made by
the meteor Such drops as fell within
that area were Instantly obliterated,
and tiny jets Of vapor from the hole
itself betrayed the presence Of the
fiery object beneath
His boyish curiosity being thoroughly
aroused, he drew an old sack over his
head and shoulders, unlocked a door
which led into the yard from a tiny
scullery, and cautiously approached the
place where the meteor had ploughed
its way irts the ground. The stones
were Uttered with debris, but the We
locity of the heavy mass had been 50
great that a comparatively clean cut
was made through the pavement. The
air was warm, with the hot breath of
an oven, and it was as much as Philip
could bear when he stood on the brink
Of the hole and peeped in.
At a good depth. nearly half his own
height, he estimated, he saw a round
ball firmly imbedded in the earth. 1t
was DULY red, with its surface all cracks
and assures as the result of the water
poured onto it. Much larger than
football, it seemed to him, at first sight,
TO be the angry eye of some colossal
demon glazing up at him from a dark
socket. But the boy was absolutely a
stranger to fear. He procured the han
die Of a mop and prodded the meteor
with it. The surface felt hard and brit
tie. Large sections broke away, though
they did not crumble, and he received
a sharp reminder of the potency Of the
heat still stored below when the wood
burst into sudden fame.
This ended his investiga lions for the
night. He used the sacking to block
up the window, replenished the fire, set
his coat to dry, and dragged his mat
tress from the bedroom to the front
Of the fire. The warmth within and
without the house had made him intol-
erably drowsy, and he fell asleep while
murmuring his prayers, practice aban-
doned since the hour Of his mothers
death.
In reality, Philip was undergoing a
novel sort of Turkish bath, and the
perspiration induced thereby probably
saved him from a dangerous cold. He
slept long and soundly. There was no
need to attend to the fire. Long ere the
coal in the CRATE was exhausted, the
presence of the meteor had penetrated
the surrounding earth, and the house
was far above its normal temperature
when he aWOke

SAW HOPE FOR THE BEAR
Birthday Gift Had Every Possibility
Of Being Received as One Of
the Family.

Page. a true little southerner, is Law
ishly endowed with the traditional
family spirit" His sense of family,
indeed, is so strong that he regards
any one or anything belonging to his
own household as in some mysterious
but very real way superior to all the
rest of the world.
Page has a dog whom he loves very
dearly, and it grieved him much when,
not long since, jockey declined to have
anything to do with the stuffed bear
that came as a birthday gift. Pres
emily, however, he became normally
cheerful and began to play happily.
A visitor sympathetically inquired If
jockey has decided to adopt the new
bear as his friend.
Not yet" Page made smiling an
swer, but he will soon, Aunt Annie.
You see, Jockeys only a dog and he
doesn't think as quick as we do. He
thinks the bear is only paying a cal
here. But just as 500 as he knows
that the bear is one Of the family he'll
take to him all right"

Sometimes. however, a stupid visitor

tact is u~nappreciated, and the visitor
overstays his time. Apropos Of such
visitors the president at a luncheon In
Washington told a story.
There was an old fellow" he said,
who was praising the rising young
lawyer of his town.
George, for a busy man. said the
old fellow, is one Of the p~lcasantest

R00ST CLOSET FOR POULTRY
Considerable Stress Laid on Curtain
In Front Of House at Maine
Experiment Station.

In the cu%rtain-front type of poultry
mouse used at the Maine experiment
station a feature Of the original plan
on which considerable stress was
laid was the canvas curtain in front
Of the roosts.
This curtain, together with the
back wall Of the house and the dron-
pings board under the roosts, formed
q closet in which the birds were shut
up at night during cold weather.
When the curtain-front house was
first devised 1t was thought essential
to provide such a closet to
the body heat Of the birds during the
cold nights when the temperature
might go well below zero. Expe.
rience has shown, however, that this
was a mistake. Actual test shows
that the roosting closet Is Of no adj
vantage. even in such a severe cli-
mate as that OF Orono. On the ION.
trary, the birds certainly thrive bet.
ter without the roost curtain than
with 1t. 1t has been a general OBJ.
servation among users of the curtain
'front.' type Of house that when the
roost curtains are used the birds are
particularly susceptible to colds. II
Is not hard to understand why this
should be 30. The air in a roostine
closet when 1t is opened in the
morning Is plainly. bad. The fact
that it is warm in no way offsets
physiologically the evils Of it's lack
OF oxygen and excess of carbon di
oxid, ammoniacal vapors, and Other
exhalations from the bodies Of the
birds.
For some time past it has been fell
that the roosting closet was at leas
unnecessary, II not in fact a positiv,
evil. Consequently the time Of be
ginning to close the roost curtain il
the fall has been each year longe,
delayed. Finally, in the fall of 1910
It was decided not to use these cur
tains at all during the winter. Con
s%eQuently they we're taken out Of tn,
house, or spiked to the roof, as tn
case might be. The winter Of 1901
was q severe one. On several occs
sions the temperature dropped to 3
degrees below zero. Yet during thi
winter the mortality was exceptions
ly low and the egg production exceI
tionally high
In view of this experience the st,
ton has decided to discontinue tn
9 Of the roost curtain. 1t woul
eem to be generally undesirable G
at least unnecessary.

teen years ago I was badly affected

forced me to scratch the scabs OF and
the hair would come out with them.
Upon my face and body the sores
would get inflamed and they disfg-

my clothes irritated them. The erup-
