I could: I did not deliberately or will

quoted him correctly. I have had

MAKE THEIR OWN LIGHT

Among the most remarkable of all natures
phenomena is the marvellous Iightgiving power
of many of our common plants and animals, OBJ
serves the New York American.
Under certain conditions nasturtiums, sunhow
ers dahlias tuberoses and yellow lilies may be
seen to glow with a soft radiance varying in
color and intensity. Only those flowers that have
an abundance of yellow or orange shades exhibit
light is after dark, but often intermittent and
flashing.
often in the early fall the ground will be IL
Illuminated by the glow from the dead leaves, The
Australian poppy is the most remarkable of all
the luminous plants, for it has been found to
send out a light of its own of quite noted bril-
Iiancy.
Mushrooms growing decayed wood often
placed on a newspaper, will enable one to read
the words in their vicinity with no other light.
One species of mushrooms in Australia. 16 inches
in diameter was of such brilliancy that seen from
a distance its light frightened the natives.
More interesting than the luminous plants are
the luminous animals The Pacific coast, famous
for its many curious specimens of plant and AMI
NAL life, is the home of many OF them.
OF all these the ascidians are most noteworthy.
One of them, the pyroscama, was seen first as a
blaze as big as a bucket. When captured it was
found to be foot long and open at one end at
which there was faint light When touched the
light at once bIazed forth into vivid silver phos-
phorascence, One of the animals kept in a dark
room furnished enough light for the reading OF
medium sized print.
The creatures are of almost indescribable beau

ty and by their radiance when moving about I'M
der water near by fish be discerned. Bibra,
the British naturalist utilized the animals for
light, and half dozen of them at one side OF
small room would furnish sufficient light for the
reading of a newspaper at the other side.
Grabs are notable light givers and the Salpa
of California is the most wonderful of all. Bodies
Of water 20 miles square have been seen glowing
with them, and in the Santa Catalina channel one
naturalist reported that far the eye could
see the creatures lay cleaning like gems in the
sunlight.
Many luminous frogs have been discovered
from time to time and any frog may be made
luminous by inoculating it with certain bacteria
which produce this phenomenon.
Many theories have been brought forward to
explain the phenomenon of luminosity, but yet
very little is known about In many instances,
such as the cases of dead leaves or decayed wood
luminosity is evidently due to fungous growth
but in other cases, where no growth can be SEEM
the riddle remains unsolved along with many
other marYels of nature.

WHEN SONNY COMES HOME

An Atchison family has been talking ever since
last September of the joy the members would
experience when a son who away at college
came home for the holidays, says the Globe of
that town. In the months he gone his room
was refurnished.
His mother and sisters began weeks before the
holidays to make out menus for the breakfasts,
Iuncheons and dinners during the happy time
when he would be home for the holidays.
The day Of his arrival he was whrled home in
the family automobile and welcomed by the wom-
en- folks in the family in their very best clothes.
served at once. He grandly sat down to the table
and raved over the elegant things he had to eat
in eastern restaurants and the dining cars.
He was taken to his room, but failed to observe
that hardwood floor, rugs and furni-
ture and draperies had replaced the old. He was
called to the telephone. Some Of the boys wanted
him to meet them somewhere. He promised and
went. After that the boys and girls kept him
busy.
Mother and the girls packed the dainties in bas-
kets and sent the baskets to the poor; they were
not hungry, and the family idol did not eat at
home. Every once in while his room looked as
though a cyclone had struck it; he had come
home to dress to go somewhere.
Yesterday mother and the girls received a
hasty peck on their cheeks, and In a minute the
family automobile had whirled the family idol
to the train. He had spent about rs minutes OF
his vacation in the household whafe he so
worshiped His next vacation VIII come in the
early summer, but he will need his overcoat in

THINKS He is A SQUIRREL
Man Climbs to Housetops, Shins Down
Water Pipes and Chambers
Up Trees.

Sacramento, Cal.-Imagining that he
was a squirrel, James Ryan, hobo,
climbed on top Of houses, Skinned"
up trees and slid down water pipes OF
various residences on the NJ street
road in the early morning and had
the neighbors in an uproar. Ryan was
first discovered on the roof Of the
home of Peter Zinng, in Schley ave-
nue., near Wolf, and was driven from
his perch by a junior member of the
family armed with a shotgun.
He slid down a water pipe and
raced across country for two blocks,
where he climbed to the roof of
bungalow A phone call was sent to
the police from the Zinng residence
and patrolmen responded. When the
officers located their quarry on the
roof of the bungalow he was doing a
tango, and when told to descend,
promptly started disrobing.
Patrolman Brown climbed to the
roof Of the house and ordered Ryan
to don his clothing, which the latter
did with much reluctance When
searched at the city jail the pockets
of the human squirrel" as he was
termed by Patrolman Vogel, contained
several oranges and a quantity of
nuts.
Ryan Informed the officers that he
was fruitpicker and had gathered
the oranges from trees along the NJ
street road.

a dainty white in1orescence on the trees. Then
suddenly, as we canter down the shore, the col
only takes wing and tumult reigns. But what
tumuIt! Nothing rough or discordant, no sem
bIance to a mob; rather is it the incarnation OF
the fairiest Of fairy scenes, the scattering Of
Titanias jewellers. The bushes seem as II oy
magic to pour forth an endless stream OF grace
full life and soon the sky it filled with multitude
of snowy drifting forms Round and round tney
circle above the nursery trees, now deity poised
upon fast-quivering wings now riding easily along
with widespread pinions-so they drift in endless
streams each one seeming, as it floats by, more
elegant and lovely than the last Gradually the
pace is slackened, slowly and still more slowly the
birds glide past, till presently more alight. Soon
thew are settling down every side, to sit sway
ing on the delicate tracery of the tamar1sk boughs
their snowy pIumage glistening in the sunlight
Then the colony regains cOmposure and we see on
every side the lovely aigrette-perhaps the most
exquisite ornament displayed by any b1rd-dls-
played in all its living beauty, displayed as Ma
ture meant it to be shown. And what lovely
show it is! AS mate meets mate the lovely train
of nlumes Of each is raised and spread in greeting
to hover like cloud of frosted gossamer above
the back scintilatng the feathers shake and
tremble with lfes passion
AS vet these birds have learnt no fear of man;
thew crowd the branches all around US, quietly
returning to brood upon their nests not 20 yards
from where we stand To shoot them down would
be almost as easy to dispatch farmyard roost'
Fortunate indeed it is that this colony is natural
" protected by a great encircling belt of utter
wilderness. trackless and almost untrodden save
by the few keepers who guard its big game on
the sportsman's behalf. Here the birds have-of
late at least-been left to breed in peace. No
Dlume hunter has dared to penetrate their sanctu-
ary; but one shudders to contemplate the day,
which one hopes may never dawn, when, through
lax control by the overload the plumassfers shall
at last break through and steal 1t is unneces-
sary, l think, to draw picture of the awful
slaughter of that day; the piles of mutilated
bodies with the wings torn off; the hapess young
ones left to starve miserably to death. Such are
the incidents common to the piIlage of any egret
nursery, and those who wish to read of them may
do so in the pamphlets Of the Royal Society for
the Protection of Birds? Suffice it here that the
surest indeed the only, way to obviate such
scenes of slaughter is for women to cease to dec
crate themselves with aigrettes.
