SOME FORMS OF HYPNOTlSM
Many May Be Known to the Readers,
While Others Have A Flavor
That Is New.

HypnOtiZing a hen is trick known
to most country boys. 1t is an old
experiment. first described by the Je-
suit Father Athanasius Kircher, who
laid a hen on the table, held it firmly
for little while, and drew a chalk
line in front of it's eyes, with the re-
suit that it remained as if in catalepsy.
In India it is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for Il considerable time, either cOiled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened to a board and
turned suddenly upside down goes into
q trance. Other animals are suscep-
tible to this treatment, some more
quickly than others.
If you pick up crab and wave 1t
in the air it becomes immobile, fe-
male bending her legs over her abdo-
men, male sticking them out almost
straight. The same is true of the
fresh-water crayfish, only this resists
for a much longer time than the crab.
Among the insects catalepsy-com-
monty known as death feigning'-is
common, and, according to Prof. Err
nest Mangold, the learned naturalist.
is often a means of saving the life

Seals Can Drown.

1t is a curious fact that the fur seal
was once a land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid Of water
they would drown If thrown into it
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget to walk.
There are in existence only two i'm
portant herds of fur seals, one OF
which has it's breeding ground in the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus
STA, the other in the Pribilof islands
belonging to the United States. Oh

The Pribilof islands are government
property, and thus it happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals in the world.

Arkansas Kingbird
Uranus verticaIis

Length, nine inches. The white
edge of the feather on each side of the
tail distinguishes this from all other
fiycatchers except the gray and sal
mon colored scissortail of Texas.
Range: Breeds from Minnesota,
Kansas, and Texas to the Pacific
ocean and from northern Mexico TO
southern Canada; winters from Mex
leo to Guatemala.
Habits and economic status: The
Arkansas kingbird is not so domestic
as it's eastern relative and seems to
prefer the hill country with scattered
oaks rather than the orchard or the
vicinity of ranch buildings, but it
sometimes places it's rude and con-
spicuous nest in trees on village
streets. The birds yearly food is COM
posed of 81 per cent animal matter
and Is per cent vegetable. The ami
NAL food is composed almost entirely
of insects. Like the eastern species,

Blue Jaw
Cyanocitta cristata

Length, eleven and one-half inches.
The brilliant blue of the wings and
tail combined with the black crescent
of the upper breast and the crested
head distinguish this species.
Range: Resident in the eastern
United States and southern Canada,
west to the Dakotas, Colorado. and
Texas.
Habits and economic status: The
blue jay is of dual nature. Cautious
and silent in the vicinity of its nest,
away from it it is bold and noisy.
Sly in the commission of mischief,
it is ever ready to scream thief"
at the slightest disturbance. AS usual
in such cases, it's remarks are ap-
plicable to none more than itself, a
fact neighboring nest holders know to
their sorrow, for during the breeding
season the jay lays heavy toll upon
the eggs and young of other birds,
and in doing SO deprives us of the
services of species more beneficial
than itself. Approximately three
fourths of the annual food of the blue
jay is vegetable matter, the greater
part of which is composed of mast,
i. e., acorns, chestnuts, beechnuts, and

or in garden shrubbery close to
houses, whenever it is reasonably safe
from the house cat, which, however,
takes heavy toll of the nestings. 1t is
true harbinger of spring, and its de-
lightful little song is trilled forth from
the top of some green shrub in early
March and April, before most of our
other songsters have thought of leav-
ing the sunny South. Song sparrows
vary much in habits, as well as in size
and coloration. Some forms live along
streams bordered by deserts, others in
timbered regions, others on rocky bar
rem hillsides, and still others in rich.
fertile valleys. With such a variety
of habitat, the food of the species
naturally varies considerably. About
three-fourths of its diet consists of
the seeds of noxious weeds and one
fourth of insects. OF these, beetles,
especially weevils, constitute the ma
jor portion. Ants, wasps, bugs Tin
Guiding the black olive scale), and
caterpillars are also eaten. Grasshop-
pers are taken by the eastern birds,
but not by the western ones.

CLEVER TEACHE

CLEVER TEACHER PRIZE PIC
How one teacher of sixty pupils in
a one-room school house, situated in
the forests of North Carolina. suc-
ceeded in getting her pupils interested
in practical agriculture with a mig
and less than an acre of uncultivated
land, is told in a report of one of the
field workers of the United State de-
partment of agriculture. A farm n7-
per offered a pure-bred pig as a prize
Tor securing certain number of sub
scriptions. This energetic school
teacher set out among the parents of
her pupils and succeeded in selling
CROUCH subscriptions to win the mig.
When the pig arrived the pen was al
ready built by the school children on
the school grounds for its reception.
lie parents were invited and talks on
pig raising were made. The rest of
the day was spent in driving around
to some of the best pig farms in the
country where various kinds of live
stock were scored and discussed. The
pupils learned that a pig could not
thrive entirely on scraps from lunches
and occasional ears of corn. An in
terested member of the school COM
mI.tee offered the use of his team
and implements and t. e pupils start
ed to work clearing the forest land to
use as a forage pasture. They then
planted crops of rye, wheat, rape and
grass to afford the pig grazing plots
of green forage. A cold frame was
also put in and cabbage plants were
grown for sale, the money thus real
lied being turned over to buy what
ever additional feed was needed to
keep the pig. As a result of the in
terest aroused, taxpayers and mem
bers of the school board have given
their support to the establishment of
small demonstration farm. More
land is to be purchased and the county
agent is to visit the school each week.
Since the pig was brought into the
school less than a year ago, the men,
bership of the county pig club has
more than trebled.
