Bird That Dances.

There is a bird in the birdhouse of
New York Geological park that is
bird of a dancer. He can do all the
modern dances. His name is Cock
of-the-Rock, or the rupicola cotingidae.
He is a most peculiar bird. His aim
less leaping about meant next to moth
Ing to the casual observers, who
thought that the floor Of the cage pos
slbly might have become too hot for
his feet. But TO Keeper Stacey the
same antics conveyed a message of
loneliness. "You see, Cock-Of-the-Rock
birds" explained the keeper, like to
dance. Down in British Guiana, where
this fellow comes from, the birds gath
er and dance In big circle. This bird
likes to think that he is home and so
dances around, taking the part Of the
whole bunch. After he has danced
around in big circle he thinks he's
whole flock of birds" The Cock-of-the-
Rock is n rnre bird, with beautiful red
and crane plumage. Unlike most birds
Of this color he has not faded to any
noticeable extent since being made

LIKE PIECE OF FAIRYLANO
Remarfa able Cavern, Known as Shat
tuck Cave, Discovered When
Miner Sets of Blast.

A blast In the Shnttuck mine in
Arizona, set for the purpose of bring
ing down ore, was responsible FOR tht.
discovery of remarkable cavern. nov
known as Shattuck Cave, which has
yielded unusual mineral specimens.
some OF the finest OF which have been
added to the collection at the Michigan
College of Mines.
When the miner who had been work.
ing 10 that part OF the 300-foot level
returned with the night shift he found
u great opening that reached farther
than his light could penetrate. Look
ing upward, he could see tiny lights
flashing, and, in the belief that they
were stars, he ran back to the shaft
and declared that he had blasted a
hole clear through the surface.
On investigating the mine official
found that the blast had opened a
great circular cavern 845 feet in diam
eter and ITS feet high, which seemed
like u piece Of falryland. On the roof
myriads of crystals reflected the lights
from the miners lamp. The walls, the
roof and the floor were covered with
great clusters of crystals, and near the
center of the cavern a mass of stalac-
tites, 40 feet long. hung from the cell
ing like a great chandelier.
For the most part the crystals were
pure white. but in places where the
nltering waters had contained iron and
copper great transparent stalactites
and stalagmites, some ruby red, 9TH
ers a clear emerald green or azure
blue, added to the beauty of the scene.

CONSERVE YOUR WATER BY
CULTIVATION
Experiments in California Show 26
Per Cent of Loss by Evaporation
Bay Be Saved

The following experiments may be
Of interest to many Colorado farmers.
They were carried on in California
and the object of the experiment was
to determine as nearly as possible
the amount of irrigation waters that
could be saved by means of cultiva-
ton. The experiments to determine
this effect were made so as to ap-
proach ordinary field conditions and
practice as nearly as possible. An ir-
rigation amounting to six inches in
depth of water was applied to the
- ,rface of the soil and allowed to
D}oak into the same. 1t took from six
to twenty-four hours to accomplish
this, depending upon the character
of the soil. From one to four days
after the water had been applied, the
fields were cultivated and second
cultivation was given two weeks after
the application of the water. The to-
tai average evaporation loss in TWEEN
ty-eight days from uncultivated soil
was PA inches, or 35 per cent of
the water applied, and it was found
that cultivation saved about 26 per
cent of this lot. During our dry sum-
mers in Colorado, when our irrigation
supply is short, this saving Of 26
per cent of the evaporation loss may
often turn failure into success for
that season. 1t is, therefore, in my
judgment well worth remembering by
the average farmer of Colorado.-E.

APHoRlSMS OF GREAT MAN
TrIte Sayings Of Napoleon Have Been
Collected and Classified, and Are
Worth Attention.

Among the Frenchmen who have
contributed to gnomlc literature is Ma
poleon: "Adversity is the midwife of
genius" Love is folly committed by
two" 1T is Imagination which loses
battles" "A good philosopher makes
a bad citizen" "The man the least
free Is the man bound to party" These
and several hundred other of his truths
and half-truths were collected and
classified by Jules Bertaut. They have
been translated by II. E. Law and @.
L. Rhoades as Napoleon: In His
Own Words" The collection does not
pretend to be complete nor to add any
thing new, but It is sufficient to mirror
the man Of action in striking way.
The aphorisms, of course, lack con-
dstency and continuity, because Ma
poleon had no profound moral conyic-
tons. he was no philosopher nor a
publicist seeking to mold events by
political reason. He was a man of ac-
tion, who spoke for the immediate eff
feet which his words might accomplish
"a Roman Catholic in France and
Mohammedan in Egypt. "Slmpletons
talk of the past, wise men of the pres
ent, and fools of the future" The
translations are good, but many read
er would like to have the date, chap
ter and verse cited; for half the sig
nificance of a saying often lies in the
occazion Oh which It was uttered
