Influence of Mercury on Hibernahon

the reptiles insects, shellfsh and some of the
smaller mammals, can be partly frozen-in the limbs
for example-for weeks at a stretch during their hi

Temporary Suspension of Breathing.
Until recently scientists greatly exercised
in their minds whether not the alternating
creature breathes. Mirrors held to its mouth often
fail to SHOW the slightest mist, nor will it die after

The fact of the matter is that it breathes very
slightly often at long intervals The breathing is
temporarily suspended for periods varying from
to three minutes TO two three hours Most of
the time the only oxygen entering the lungs is that

Mrs. Bear Has Dull, Eugenic Time of 1t.

FORMATIONS They Just lie still in their subterranean
lair all winter looking primly down their noses and
thinking eugenic prenatal thoughts until the little
strangers arrive in February or March.
Of the woodchuck we may remark en- PEASANT
that there's nothing to justify the popular fallacy
that on February the second he pops up to look for
his shadow. Mild spells of weather in the early
spring often bring out the groundhogs prematurey

Bats needn't hibernate, but all but three or four
species III our northern states do. Hence perhaps
the name When the frosty nights of the fall come
the baty bats dive into caves or garrets or barns
or Sherfs boards or chinks in rough walls-thev
prefer caves-and hang upside down all winter
They draw a few breaths rapidly at intervals OF
lew minutes, but between these spells breathing is
entirely suspended The three or four species with
gumption fly down to Florida instead with the best

Young Underwood was more con-

The shooting of the two boys came
as climax to a sensational series of
burglaries of East Atlanta stores that
have puzzled the police and created
considerable excitement among the
merchants of the section.
Late Thursday afternoon Chief
Beavers heard that an attempt would
be made Thursday night to rob the
store of Marbut & Minor two blocks
from the grocery store of Waggoner

Merchants on Guard.
While the officers were hiding in
the Marbut & Minor store, G.. H
Waggoner and o. o. Waldrop, whose
store has been burglarized four times
in the last month, were sitting on
sacks of feedstuff in the rear of their
own store, shotguns across their
knees, determined to guard their own
property and not trust to the police
to catch the burglars. For five nights
the two men have been vigilantly
guarding their store, staying until af-
ter midnight each time, until We'd
nesday night, when they remained in
the place all night.
About $3.50 o'clock the men heard
soft footsteps upon the porch of the
store, at the front. One of the young
burglars stumbler as he climbed upon
the porch, and the noise brought the
two merchants, crouching in the
shadows with their hands upon the
triggers of their guns, fully alert.
Waggoner and Waldrop rose to their
feet and leveled their guns at the
door as they heard the burglars pick
ing at the lock. A moment later and
the door swung open. The burglars
softly closed the door and stepped
forward into the store. One of them
struck a match and raised it above
his head. At the same instant he
caught sight of Waggoner and Wal
drop and of the leveled guns. He
dropped the match with a cry OF
fright, and both merchants fired
Waggoner and Waldrop hastily re-
loaded their guns and ran forward.
Both Holmes and Underwood were
lying on the floor. the former uncon-
scious and the latter moaning with
pain and begging them not to shoot
again.
