EIophants' Fear Of Mice.

The reason why one tiny mouse is
capable of soaring a whole herd Of ele-
plants half to death is found in the
fact that In the elephants native land
there are little animals known as cha
canas, which feed ON q small, sour ber-
ry of which elephants are very fond.
They live in settlements, something
after the manner Of prairie dogs, under
the berry bushes, and sometimes when
feeding the elephants trample upon the
little towns, and the chacanas in their
fright frequently run up the tubes Of
the elephants trunks. Their long.
sharp claws catch In the flesh, and they
cannot be elected. The more violently
the monster blows through its trunk
the more firmly the hooked claws of
the little animaF become tmbedded in
the flesh, and Inflammation and death
are the result. In captivity, therefore,
the elephants think they are in danger
OF the deadly chacanas when they see
a mouse.-New York American.

A Tale Of Six Citiea.

There are at least six cities on this
continent which every one should see.
Every one should see New York be-
cause it is the largest city in the world
and because it combines the magnifi-
cence, the wonder. the beauty, the sor-
didness and the shame Of a great me-
tropolis. Every one should see San
Francisco because 1t is so vivid, so
alive, so golden. Every one should see
Washington, the clean, white splendor
of which Is like the embodiment Of a
national dream. Every one should sec
the old gray granite city Of Quekec
piled on its hill above the river, like
some fortified town in France. Every
one should see the sweet and aristo=
cratic city Of Charleston, which sug-
gests museum Of tradition and early
American elegance, and Of course every
one should see New Orleans Julian
Street in Golfers Weekly.

Insects In Fjiuht,

Motion pictures of insects in flight
prove that the movement Of the wings
Of all insects presents the same general
character. When flight is begun the
amplitude OF the first wing Deats is
much smaller than Of the subsequent
ones, but the period remains almost un-
changed. The insect regulates the We
locity Of its flight not by the rapidity
Of the motion of its wings. but by
changing their inclination. Although
in normal conditions the period of the
wing beat remains constant, It may be
increased or diminished by various in
fluences, such as fatigue and cold.

Nest Of 4 Turtle.

The manner in which a turtle con
structs her nest is both interesting
and suggestive, it being one of the
most expeditions operations ever per-
formed by that slow moving creature.
After selecting suitable spot she be-
gins digging out hole with her hind
legs by moving slowly in circle and
throwing the excavated sand in a rim
all around it. When that is about
eighteen inches in depth and twelve
in circumference she drops her eggs
into it, pulls the rim Of sand over
them and, rising on all four legs, let's
her body drop heavily on the covering
sand until she has. made it as compact
as any part Of the surrounding beach.
She then makes few false demonstra-
tiOns on the shore to mislead inquisi-
tive enemies and hastens to the sea as
fast as she can travel.

A Gigantic Meteor Stream.

A Gigantic Meteor Stream.
One of the most accomplished and as
siduous students Of meteors, DR.. Den
ming, is Of the opinion that the August
meteors, which radiate from the con-
stellation Perseus and are sometimes
popularity called the tears of st. Law
renee" belong to stream so broad
that the earth, travelling between eight
cen and nineteen miles a second, occu-
pies seven weeks in crossing it.
This would make the width of the
stream, IL the earth traversed it at a
right angle to its course, nearly 8O,-
100000 miles. These meteors are 80
scattered all round the orbit in which
they travel that some of them are WIS.,
1ble every year. They are believed to
be connected with bright comet
which appeared in 1862 and is sup
posed to have. a period Of about 12O
years. The outer end of it's elliptical
meteor stream is situated far beyond
the orbit Of Neptune. - Los Angeles
