Preventing Premature suriaIs.

The fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is, so widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered prize equal
TO $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
er. in given case. death had ensued
OF not A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: If the hand of the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial light, with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light. there appears a scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due 10 the blood still circulat-
ing; it shows itself through the tbs
sues which have not yet congested-
When life IS entirely extinct. the phe-
nomenon of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth Of his observation.

but no corresponding gain in the sup
ply OF native fruits upon which they
were accustomed to feed. Under
these circumstances what is more
natural than for the birds to turn to
cultivated fruits for their food? The
remedy is obvious: Cultivated fruits
can be protected by the simple expedi-
ent OF planting the wild species which
are preferred by the birds. Some ex-
periments with catbirds in captivity
show that the Russian mulberry is
preferred to any cultivated fruit

Indeed. in the South. where the latter
bird is abundant, the thrasher Is
known as the sandy mocker.
The food of the brown thrasher
consists of both frait and insects. An
examination of 636 stomachs showed
36 per cent of vegetable and 64 of
animal food, practically all insects,
and mostly taken in spring before
fruit was ripe. Half the insects we're
beetles and the remainder chiefly
grasshoppers, caterpillars, bugs and
spiders. A few predscious beetles
we're eaten, but on the whole the work
of the species as an insect destroyer
may be considered beneficial.
Eight per cent of its food is made
up Of fruits like raspberries or currants
which are or may be cultivated, but
the raspberries at least are as likely
to belong to wild as to cultivated va
rieties- Grain, made up mostly OF
scattered kernels of oats and corn, is
merely trifie, amounting to only
per cent Though some of the corn
may be taken from newly planted
fields. it is amply paid for by the de-
struction OF May beetles which are
eaten at the same time. The rest of
the food consists OF wild fruit or
seeds. Taken all in all, tie brown
