SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE
One Need Not Go Far From the Aaunts of Man to Hear Birds
 Sweet Strains.

One Of our great American natural lsts once went to England in hope to near the nightingale. Although he wandered for many miles over Surrey and Hampshire, his search was we'll nigh fruitless. Had he gone no farth. CT than the outskirts of London. he might have fared better. There are still certain spots in the suburbs to which the nightingale returns year af. ter year.
 One of them is Wimbledon Common. where the bird sings every spring. oft, en, however, quite unrecognized by those who hear him. It Is commonly believed that because, as all the world knows, the nightingale sings by night, he keeps silence during the day. Nev. CT was delusion more ill-founded. 1t might be in part accounted for if the oird were of particularly timid and iearial nature. But he is not; in fact, hishtingales are, as rule, least shy where they are most accustomed tc mans presence.
 Not only does this much misunder stood bird (some nightingales. of course, more than others) sing at in tervals all day long, but he appears at Times to take delight in singing to crowd.

M Marooned Fishes.

When the water of the Mississippi river and its tributaries falls after the annual freshets, it leaves many casual ponds and pools, In them are held cap- tive great numbers of fishes. which the bureau of fisheries undertakes to rescue each year, before they are killed by the drying up or the freezing of the waters During the fiscal year 1914 the bureau thus saved 2.500,000 fishes of all species-about three times as many as 1t saved the year before. Most of the fishes it returns to the main streams, but some it keeps for culture in ponds or to stock waters in other parts of the country.-Youth' Companion

WHAT LIGHTS THE VOLCANO?
Eruptions May Be Caused by Heating Water in the Follows of
 the Earth.

A volcano is a great hollow noun. tain. It is named for Vulcan, the Roman god who was supposed to deal with fire, because fire comes out of it. A volcano has hole at the top called the crater, and this hole seems to lead down into the hot interior of the earth
 The inside of the earth is always hot, yet volcanoes are by no means al- ways in eruption, as it is called when they throw out fire and ashes. It must be, then, that something happens which sets the volcano in activity. The possible cause may be guessed from the location of the great vol canoes, which, like Vesuvius, Etna and Hecla, are near the sea
 It may be that the volcano commu- nicates with the earth under the sea, and water passes into the hot interior hollow and creates vast quantities of steam or gas. This gas is formed un- der great pressure. It must get out somewhere and so finds it's way to the crater and escapes with terrific force, sometimes carrying huge masses of rock high into the air.

lady warned her new gardener that her husband had an irritating habit of disparaging everything in the greenhouse, and of ordering in reck- less manner new plants to be bought, but on no account was the gardener to humor him. Whatever he says, throw cold water on him, or he will ruin us with his extravagances."
 At this point the new gardener turned on her a white and startled face. "Ma'am," he said, If he orders me to pitch every plant in the place on the rubbish heap, l sha'n't ever have the pluck to douse him with cold water. Won't it do as we'll if I get a drain of warm water out of the boiler and let it trickle gently down his neck?"
