1ird, That Fioht EaoIes.

In Foula. one OF the Shetland is-
lands. the natives make business Of
rearing skau gulls 10 order to rid the
Islands OF eagles that congregate there
and commit many depredations. The
magnificent red sandstone cliffs that
skirt the northwestern coast became
favorite haunt OF the eagles, and in
this inaccessible spot they increased so
rapidly that they became a terror to
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
veterate foes OF the eagle In battle
the gulls are nearly always victorious,
and so the inhabitants Of FouIa hit
upon the novel plan Of feeding and
caring for the skau gulls. which.
though formidable to their feathered
enemies. are very peaceful and docile
when brought In contact with man.

JUSTICE AND LUNCHEON.
They Seemed to Clash Trifie. So the
Court Made q Change.

Court Made q Change.
1t was formerly the practice of the
supreme court to sit from u noon until
4 o'clock continuously on each day
that 1t was In session. From time to
time. as the afternoon progressed, the
justices. one or two at a time, would
slip out Of their seats. snatch bite Of
luncheon and return Sometimes as
many as foufnor Ave OF them would be
of the bench at once. They usually
had their luncheon brought to them by
their messengers and ate 1t In the little
curtained recess behind the bench, and
as the argument progressed there could
be plainly heard In the courtroom the
clink of knife and fork on plate and
what 0. Henry has called the crash
Of dishes on the American plan"
One day lawyer pleading case
made bold to enter protest He most
sOlemnly inquired If he could count
upon the continuous and undivided at
tention of even one justice to the thread
Of his argument 1.-The personnel of
the court has been twice entirely
changed since began" he said plain
lively.
The court deigned no response. but
on the following Monday 1t was an
nounced from the bench that recess
for luncheon thereafter would be taken
every day from to 2:30 o'clock and
that the court would sit until 400
O'Clock every afternoon. = Worlds

UTAH'S NATURAL BRIDGE.
The Secret Of Its Origin Somewhat
Puzzles the Scientists.

What is thought TO be the largest
natural bridge in the world Is that OF
southwestern Utah. known as the
George natural bridge The total length
OF this great work of nature IL about
200 feet; its width e. the roadway"
lis about thirty-five feet: the span In
the clear Is about ninety feet. At the
base there flows small water course
which, during the hot months. dwin-
dies to mere rivuIet.
Scientists are somewhat perplexed to
explain the means by which nature
produced ills bridge. 1t is thought
hardly possible that 1t could have been
created by water erosion. unless. as
was most unlikely. there was very
large and swift stream flowing at the
point where the brook now runs.
Some authorities are inclined to the
view that this bridge was due to vol
canic action. occurring at some remote
geological period
Although long known to the Indians,
1t was not until about fifteen years ago
that white men became familiar with
the sight OF IT, Mining prospectors
were the first of the whites to see 1t.
since It Is located In the heart Of q
very rugged and inaccessible region.
The span is composed OF dark
brown Sandstone of unusual hardness.
and the thickness OF the span is TWEEN
ty feet or more
Engineers who have examined this
bridge assert that 1t Is perfectly safe
and secure and that 1t is fully capable
of sustaining an Immense weight. espe

The ssaI's VentIIator.

Not many people know how the seal
Of the far north gets air when the Arc
ac ocean is entirely covered with many
feet Of ice.
The small spotted seal. which Is
hair seal and not fur bearer. Is the
hardy dweller Of the northern waters.
Under his tough. thick skin he has an
inch or more Of blubber. When the
Ice closes up the open water IN the
Arctic the seal selects spot and be-
gins to drill q hole to the surface Dy
pressing his warm nose against the
ice. Nobody knows how many hours
It takes him to accomplish his task
but he manages it. and. although he
Is obliged to work most Of the time be-
cause the surface of the hole Is con-
tinually freezing. he keeps 1t open all
winter and obtains air. Seals have
been known to drill In ths manner
through ffty feet Of solid ice. Wheth-
er or not they take turns In the slow
drilling Is not positively known. 1t Is
at these seal holes" that the polar
bear seeks food In the winter and there
the Eskimo waits. spear In hand. for
his weekly supply Of meat.-Youth's

Feed Cows Regularly.

Itis OF great importance that strict
regularity should be observed, both In
feeding aud In milking, in order to Sc
cure the greatest degree of contentment
ip the herd. II COWS are fed at stated
intervals, they will not worry for food
until the time for feeding arrives. II it
is then given to them in proper quantity,
they will eat and lie down. chew the cud
and sleep or rest contentedly until time
for another feed.
First give the grain mixture, and milk
the COWS while they are eating it. This
routine is recommended because, with
some cows, the milk comes moro freely
while they are eating that portion Of
their ration which has the most relish.
Cured roughage should be fed after
milking because II fills the air 10 the
barn with dust. Succulent feed, like 81.
lage and roots, should also be fed after
milking, because Of the odor that it
gives. Feeding twice day will bring
better results than more frequent and
wasteful feeding.
Give half the concentrates and half
the roughage In the morning, and half
In the evening. Cows will soon become
accus, omed to this routine. No more
feed should be given them than they
will eat up. The mangers should be
absolutely clean and free from any feed
during the day and night.

Coat, the Monkeys Wear.

Have you ever wondered why nearly
oil the monkeys which accompany the
foreign organ boys should be dressed
In a red coat, with sort Of Jockey
cup?
The explanation Is very simple. This
costume Is NO fancy one. but Is an al
most exact copy Of the winter dress
worn by the organ boys fathers In the
distant valley Of Piedmont. where the
peasants usually wear red coat rude
ly cut. with very stiff little tails, and
knickerbockers and Jockey cap OF the
same color.
These clothes are spun and woven
by the peasants and dyed red With the
madder which grows In the. valleys.
The long roots are boiled. then mixed
with alum and tartar. and the result u
a red dye. which. though not very
bright, does not fade. The monkeys
coats are made of the bits which are
left over when the peasants coat is
cut out-PhiladeIphia Inquirer.

Infantry Decides the Battle.

While there have been many discus
sions as to the relative value OF the
different branches Of an army. there
Is no doubt. according to writer In
the Scientific American. but that 1t Is
the infantry that wins battles.
Willie 1t is probable the success OF
q battle will depend to large extent
on the support Of the field artillery.
It Is certain that the principal and
most important arm Is the infantry.
which In practically every case must
decide the final issue. The cavalry
may be the first to be drawn into
battle and the artillery may destroy
the enemy's artillery. but a battle Is
never won until the infantry has driv.
en- back the enemy's lines.
The usual mode Of advancing for
the infantry is to deploy them In line
with a long interval between each sol.
dier. This naturally is for the pur-
pose of Offering a smaller target for
the enemy. 1t makes 1t more difi'
cult, however. for the leaders to keep
as good control over the men. and for
that reason one Of the objects OF heIo
artillery is to make the enemy's troops
deploy early.
