The Curious Pelican.

The pelican is as large as a swan, has white feathers tinged with red. while the breasts of the old ones are yellow. The breast feathers end in narrow points, and all the plumage is very coarse. But the remarkable point about the pelican is it's beak. The up- per jaw is long, large and fiat and has d hook at the end, which curves over the lower jaw. The lower jaw has at tached to it q great pouch. which the pelican can make small when empty or can expand so as to carry all the fish which it catches ill hunt. This pouch is the pelican's game bag. When the uelican goes into the water of d stream or lake it catches all the fish it can but does not swallow them. 1t carries them in it's pouch. When it reaches the land it can eat the fish at its leisure. But more important is the fact that from the pouch the pelican can feed its young ones.-kansas City Star.

AIR MEN GET SCARED.
They Never Know When Panic Q
 Fear May Grip Them.

They Never Know When a Panic of
 Fear May Grip Them.
 Professional aeroplane pilots have long since ceased to be ashamed to con- fess that they get scared and that a panic of fear while ill the air may seize them at any time. Why this is so is the subject of an article in the London AerOplane.
 It appears that a fier with an imagi- nation is never quite happy, especially on a long flight in calm weather when he has nothing to occupy his attention. One pilot, who is one of the finest fiiers in England, has habit which is most disconcerting to his passengers, how ever consoling it may be to him person ally He will fly without waver for perhaps half an hour. then suddenly the passenger will imagine that storm has struck them, for the machine will stand first on one wing tip and then on the other, then it will dive terrifcally. and then it will almost loop the loop. After that it will calm down and fly formance will be repeated. After they have landed and the passenger has re- marked on the extraordinary squalls which struck them when over certn Ill places, the pilot will casually explain that he was merely looking round at those intervals to see whether his tail was still there and was testing the controls to see whether anything was trying to jam.
 "'Cod feet may lead merely to prop CT caution, or it may lead to complete loss of nerve. A pilot may have cold feet of q certain machine and so fly it with due respect for it's peculiaritics, or he may have cold feet of flying al- to"ether. in which case he had better give it up, for if he does not he must take to 'doping,' which is fatal.
 "A particularly malignant disease is constructors cold feet in which the victim, always on the ground himself, watches every machine in the air ill d constant state of terror, expecting ii to fall in pieces whenever it is moved by a gust, and when machine of his own or any other make is on th1 ground, he is always paving round it, finding some spot at which it may break"

ROUMANiA'S CAPITAL.
Bucharest Is a Great Artistic and Edu-
 cationaI Center.

catonal Center.
 Describing Bucharest, the capital of Eounania, d statemunt issued by the National Geographic society says: '"The Roumanians have spared no eff fort or thought toward making Bukha- rest, their capital city, a real capital and not just one of the larger Balkan towns, cut to the severe design of the modern commercial city that is found throughout the west. The whole his tory of the Roumanians since the cast ing off of the Turkish yoke has been one of conservative progress leavened with enterprise, of thrift frightened by keen appreciation of the embellish- ments and pleasures of life. And in Bucharest one finds more artistic, liter ary and scientific life than in any other part of the peninsula.
 "Bukharest is an attractive city of 3O0,O0O. It is laid out with many broad
 bOulevards and avenues, as becomes a capital, and has, as Paris, Berlin and
 Washington, famous drives and parks
 within its area, an avenue of parades' and Zoological and botanical gardens. The city is built in a hollow between the hills upon both sides of the Dambo- vita river, which is crossed by twelve ornate bridges. There are some truly magnificent buildings upon it's broad thoroughfares, among the most promi- nent of which are the royal palace, the university, the national theater and the
 nf inc p,,Iyh han hoe squalid sections, with narrow, crook ed streets. but these are "reminiscences of the Turkish regime and are fast dis appearing. While Bucharest does a considerable commercial business, it is of no importance industrially.
 Bucharest, like our own capital, has been developed primarily as a capital. The Roumanians have chosen Paris and Vienna as their models and have produced a judicious blending of the two upon the much smaller Balkan scale. Bucharest has plenty of good music, and its people, who gather i'll the concert halls or enjoy the free mili- tary concerts in the evening along some promenade. are appreciative and critical listeners. The national theater brings varied offerings, and that the best. Then the entertainments of the little capital are discreet limitations of social Paris, with a touch of mild Viennese friendliness. Furthermore, Bucharest. as also becomes European capital, is a great educational center. It's schools, academies, colleges and uni. versity are models for Balkan coun- tries.'

WALL STREET WISE ONES.

 on That Tlforoughfare.
 While carrying q bur of gold weigh ing about two pounds from the United States assay office in Wall street re- gently d messenger dropped the little package from among other bundles he had in his care. Upon discovering his loss he retraced his steps quickly, but no sign of the gold could be found. He was notified he would have to make good. The policeman on duty near the assay office had this to say:
 Tt will be some half baked idiot who will pick that bar up. The wise ones of this street will never do it. If they saw it on the street they would think it hoax of some kind and le lVp it severely alone. These very shrewd Wall streeters can't see their way a broad daylight.
 Two years ago bank messenger dropped a leather bag with no more or less than $713,245 ill it right ill front of J. r. Morgan's office, corner of Wall and Broad. Was it picked up right away? Not for two hours. And who picked it up? Why bunch of i'm migrants with packs on their backs came up Broad street, saw the bag, kicked it and then one of them, after a furtive look around, dared to pick it up.
 "He laid down his pack, and so did his companions, while they examined it. I happened to be watching, and saw the bills. They apologized ab- jectly in their jargon when l took it from them and saw by the lettering on the bag where it belonged.
 Il didn't let on how cheap 1 felt myself. 1 had seen the bag an hour before, but refused to believe it worth while picking up. Some swift for cop, eh?"
 But he was no exception in Wall street-New York Sun.

Old EnoIish Fines,

In the past if one Englishman called pay. The seventeenth century mayor, sheriff and city grandees generally were keen on this point of etiquette. The direct accusation cost lis. 6d. ($2.76,; the subtle hint 6s. 3d. ($1.6O). And there was a reduction on repeti- tions.
 Swearing. too, was promptly sup pressed. In 1850 a law was passed laying down the penalty for a first offense. T"A fines were graduated That for a lord was 30 shillings t$7.2O for an esquire 10 shillings t$2.4O, while all inferior persons" could have a few words" for 3s. 4d. (8O cents).

Perilous Experiments,

Even fungi collectors seem generally agreed tha, there is really no trust worthy test for distinguishing whole some from dangerous mushrooms be- Tond the old Baconian method of ob .ervation and experiment. Toward the end of the eighteenth century Curtis the original compiler of "Flora Londi nensis.' adopted an ingenious device for determining whether fungi were edible or poisonous. He tried every suspected fungus. not .'on the dog" but upon his gardeners. What happened to those unhappy horticulturists is not recorded. London Family Herald.
