Dodaina Mother Menq.

Infant prodigies are not unknown in China, and Chinese Buddhists find it easy to account for them. According to the doctrine of the transmigration of souls. persons passing through hades on their way to the wheel of life (Which relaunc.les souls into the bodies of babies or animals just being born) have to cross bridge. Before mount ing the bridge they are stopped by an old bag called Meng. who. ladle in hand. cOmpels each soul to drink a mouthful of the waters of forgetful- ness. for which the popular name is Mother Meng's soup. Those who drink of this forget all that they had passed through or had known in their former life and thus on being reborn into the world are entirely ignorant Some. however. manage to dodge Mother Meng and enter the world full of knowledge, which they display as soon as they can articulate.

THE ENGLISH PHEASANT.
Originally From Asia, It is Still Found
 In China and Tibet.

In China and Tibet.
 Generally speaking. the English pheasant is nisnamed. since 1t came from Asia and Is still to be found in India, Tibet and China. The birds were brought to Europe more than 500 years ago, turned loose on hunting preserves and thrived amazingly. They supply the finest bird shooting in Scot land and England, and so much care is taken in raising them that they may almost be regarded as . half domesti- cated bird.
 Under the present system the eggs are matched by hens or in incubators. The chicks are carefully fed on in- sects and prepared foods. and when they are able to shift for themselves they are turned into the woods. While the common pheasant will roost in trees. it is a ground bird. The female will remain under cover until it is al most stepped upon.
 Because of this trait the pheasants are aroused by men who beat in the thickets until the pheasants take flight over shooting boxes, where the hunt CTS are ed.-Philadelphia North American.

LIGHT WAVES.
Some Too Tiny to Be Seen, Yet Science Can Measure Them.

Some Too Tiny to Be Seen, Vet seisnos Can Measure Them.
 The very smallest thing on earth which has been actually measured Is a light wave.
 Light waves, of course. are of differ ,nt lengths. In the spectrum the red waves are longest, orange next, yellow next, and so on to the violet, which are shortest of the visible waves. So if we were to give the measurement of he very smallest thing we would have O take one of the light waves in the ;iolet end of the spectrum or, better still. one of the waves of the ultravio- ct portion which is invisible.
 Tie shortest of these that has been determined is 120 millionths of a milli- ncter Changing this to fractions of m inch, we can comprehend the small less of the wave better. If these waves were placed one on top of the other here would be more than 100000 of hem in line one inch long, The neg ltive corpuscle which is a constituent part of the atom is known to be small IT than this, but its exact size has not ,cen determined.
 That these light waves can be meas fred is due to the fact that as light waves are refracted it is only matter )f determining the angle of refraction md by triangulation finding the length. Kansas City Star.

THE ROOT OF THE PORK EVIL.

There has been for years in the where the rights and G,gnities of the Individual states are most iealously lsserted and defended, disposition 10 throw upon the Federal Govern hent the cost of improvements which 1t should not be called upon to bear. Ehe false belief that the nation should alo for the state or the community. kvhat the state or community should Elo, and had better do, for itself, is tho Foot of the Pork Evil," and this be- saief has been strengthened by snc- Scess so often that it has come to be 2zregarded as a true conception of the Hcontract upon which the national Federation is based. Constituencies 9have long expected their Representa- :ives in Congress "to bring something home" from Washington and Con- gressmen from certain districts nave as long believed that their success as statesmen could best be esgaf lished by DTluSlHS tnlllSS HOlue
 In reality such achievements as have been scored in this respect may be counted for loss, rather than gain, by the districts concerned. Through dependence on federal appropriations the people of the district have, in nu- 1nerous instances, neglected to do for themselves those things which would Lave turned the tide of prosperity il their favor. Waiting for Congress to do something accounts for arrested progress in many a once-promising community. Rivers are neglected, canals are left unfinished, harbOrs are left unimproved, everything a. waits until such a time as congress shall grant an appropriation. Mean while the alert, independent and self reliant rival community has gone into it's own pockets and made its own inn provements, and has grown and be- come rich.
 Waiting for Congress to do some thing" is on a par with the waiting of MT. Wilkins Micawber for some thing to turn up." It is blight ing weakness. The community tha: exists in the hope that Congress will do something" for it "some day" has Failure written in large letters across it. Just as soon as congressional districts and their Representatives re- alize that the pork" appropriation IS an afliction rather than a blessing. the present system of logrolling will come to an end.
 The United States is immensely wealthy, and it could doubtless spend, without feeling it, far more than it does now on useless Improvements or on improvements that are purely local; but morally it cannot afford to give countenance' to the use of pub- lie moneys for the payment of polit- ical debts.
 When all is said, if there is any real distinction, the government can better afford to grant, than the con- gressional district can afford to re- ceive, appropriations obtained under false pretenses, or in accordance with a dishonest compact, or without cx- recitation or intention of compensa: ing the nation.

Animals Under Water.

The ability of beaver to remain un- der water for long time is not really SO tough a problem as it looks. When the lake or pond is frozen over a bea yer will come to the under surface of the ice and expel his breath so that it will form wide, flat bubble. The air. coming in contact with the ice and wa ter. is purified, and the beaver breathes it again. This operation he can repeat several times. The otter and muskrat do the same thing.
