What a Toad Enioys.

There are few things more amusing
than to watch toad submitting to the
operations of back scratching. He
will at first look somewhat suspicious
ly at the twig which you are advanc-
ing toward him, but after two or three
passes down his back his manner un-
dergoes marked change. his eyes
close with an expression of infinite
rapture, he plants his feet wider apart,
and his body swells out to nearly dou-
BILE its ordinary size, as il to obtain by
these means more room for enjoyment.
Thus he will remain until you make
some sudden movement which startles
him or until he has had as much pet
ting as he wants, when. with puff Of
regretful delight. he will reduce him
self to his usual dimensions and hop
away, bent once more on the pleasures
of the chase.

TRUE FOSSIL FORESTS.
Yellowstone Parks Array of Stony
Relics of Volcano Activity.

heiCo Ot NOiCdHO FNStN'eJs
Remarkable fossil forests exist In
Yellowstone park. the most remark
able, 1t Is believed, of the several fossil
forests which have been discovered
there are others In Egypt, In California
and In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the Yel-
lowstone most Of the trees were en-.
tombed In their original upright posi-.
tion and not found recumbent and scat.
tered about the ground
In Arizona. for instance, the fossil
ized trunks have evidently been car
ried long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew and where they
are entombed by the outpouring OF
various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep hill
sides. just as they stood when they
were living. In fact. IL is difficult at q
little distance to distinguish some OF
these fossil trunks from the lichen COW
cred stumps of kindred living species.
Such an aggregation OF fossil trunks Is
therefore well entitled to be called a
true fossil forest.
II should not be supposed. however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and similar branches. for the mass OF
volcanic material falling on them strip
ped them down to bare. upright trunks

MACE OF THE SPEAKER.
Ancient Emblem Used In the House of
Representatives.

In one respect the house Of repre-
sentatives surpasses the senate In dig
nifty. The senate has no mace. Now,
a mace is not much in the way Of fur
niture. 1t Is silver eagle mounted
upon a staff around which are bands Of
silver.
This mace Is always an emblem Of
the house of representatives. 1t is the
duty Of one employee TO look after It,.
Just before a session Of the house be
gins he takes 1t from the Office of the
sergeant at arms into the house cham.
ber, and as soon as the speakers gavel
falls he inserts 1t In socket in a stone
pillar at the right of the speakers
chair. The mace remains there while
the house Is In session and Is taken out
and stood beside its pedestal when the
house Is I'm committee of the whole.
When the house adjourns the mace is
carried back to the Office of the ser
geant at arms.
This ancient emblem has not thing
to do with the order of business of the
house save as one Of the old time regu
lations that are continued. When the
house Is turbulent an officer seizes the
mace and walks through the aisles
Only once or twice when the speaker
failed to preserve order, said Wash
ington correspondent, have l seen an
officer seize the mace and walk through
the house, waving 1t backward and for
ward. Possibly the sight of it brought
members TO their senses and they re-
tired TO their seats. At all events, that
is about the only real use for the mace
that ever have observed.

WEATHER AND THE SCHOOL.
Cold, Calm and Clear Days Show tho
Pupils at Their Cest.

Teaching children is not the easiest
thing I'm the world. II presents prob
lem complicated by many and diverse
factors. Some Of these are only now
beginning to be properly appreciated.
One such IL the influence OF weather
conditions.
Investigation has shown that the
state OF the weather has q marked ef-
feet both on the children's conduct
and on their mental and physical pow
ers.
This was first clearly brought out
few years ago by an American psy-
chologist, Professor Il. @. Dexter,
whose researches still are among the
most exhaustive and informing that
have been made in this novel field Of
inquiry.
Professor Dexter, studying cOndi-
tions In the schools Of cities at sea
level, like New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia, and Of others ut high alti-
tudes, found that I'm the former the pu-
pills were best behaved on cold, calm
and clear days. Muggy days were pro
ductive Of the greatest unruliness. a
marked tendency to misbehavior was
also noted on hot days and on windy
ones.
In high altitude schools, such as
those Of the city of Denver, where
mugginess Is seldom In evidence,
windy days were found to have the
most disastrous effect on conduct.
Cold. calm and clear days were again
the days OF best behavior.
With respect to working ability the
same results were observed. Both
mental and physical tasks were best
performed on cold, calm and clear
days. - III. Addington Bruce In New
