1t is held by naturalists that in
order to capture its prey the owl
must depend even more upon its sense
of hearing than upon its sense of
sight. The tufts of feathers that dis
tinguish the short-eared and the long
cared owls are, of course, no more
ears than they are horns. The true

Justice to Franklin.

Philadelphians love to set forth the
fact that there were written two Of
the most notable literary achievements
of the world, the Declaration of indie
pendence and the Constitution of the
United States, both of them remark
able for fine literary quality, for pre-
cision of statement, for lucid presenta-
ton of facts, for logical arrangement.
But it is possible, so it has been
unkindly suggested, that they do not
always remember that neither of these
important productions was written by
Philadelphia. But to anyone who
may make a suggestion it may with
justice be said that the "Auto-
biography" of Franklin, one of the
few great autobiographies Of the
world, was written by a Philadelphian,
and also his Poor Richard" and other
world-famous works. .

Water in Wood.

All wood contains more or less wa
ter; even the driest wood known con-
tains two or three pounds of water to
every 100 pounds of weight. Absolute
ly dry wood is unknown, for the heat
needed to obtain it would dissolve the
wood and convert it into gas and
charcoal.
A Swiss authority on the character
istics of wood believes that a suffi-
ciently powerful and perfect micro
scope would show that the ultimate
wood cell is composed of crystals like
grains of sugar or salt and that thin
films of water hold the crystals apart,
yet bind them into a mass. a
A good microscope shows the wood
cell and reveals it's spiral bandagea
and it's openings and cavities, but No
instrument yet made reveals the ulti.
mate crystals that, as many believe.
do exist and that would explain why
water cannot be expelled from wood
without destroying the wood ITSELF
