The Peacock at Homo.

The real home Of peacocks or pea
fowls is in India. There they were
and are hunted, and their flesh Is used
for food. AS the birds live in the
same region as the tiger, peacock hunt
ing is a very dangerous sport. The
long train of the peacock is not its
tail, as many suppose, but is compos-
ed Of feathers which grow out just
above the tail and are called the tall
coverts. Peacocks have been known
for many hundred years. They are
mentioned in the Bible. Job mentions
them. and they are mentioned, too, in
I Kings <. Hundreds of years ago in
Rome many thousand peacocks were
killed for the great feasts which the
emperors made. The brains OF the
peacock were considered a great treat,
and many had to be killed for a single
feast.

Only once in history has the roar of
the mighty falls Of Niagara been ST.

that morning people living near the
falls were surprised by a strange hush.
as startling in effect as would be an
unexpected and tremendous explosion
in an ordinarily quiet community.
Many persons thought they had been
afflicted with deafness. and all were
oppressed by a sensation of drsad.
With the coming Of light the amazed
people comprehended the reason for
the disquieting silence. Where they
were used to seeing the great falls was
a bare precipice down the face Of which
a few small and constantly diminishing
streams trickled. Above the falls, in
stead Of a rushing river, was only a
naked channel, with insignificant
brooks splashing among the rocks. All
day long this astounding condition con
tnued, and persons walked. aryshod
from the Canadian side. along the very
edge of the precipice, as far rs Goat
island, on the American side.

When the breakup came toward the

wind suddenly changed to the opposite
