lar Science Monthly. He has dis
covered that until as late as 1853
only Pickering sperm oil and candles
were In use. Not until the following
decade did the highly improved"
Kerosene lamp appear. Gas did not
come out until the period between
1865 and 1875. And then only the
wealthy could use it. 1t sold at $3.50

obtaining about eighteen times az
much light as the people of half a
century ago had. though they nav
only about three-quarters as much
for 1t as their grandfathers did for

This is strange fact. They begin
in the southern part of our country
in April, and may be found farther
north in the summer. preparing cir
cular nest in the sand by removing
all the twigs. plants and debris from
a sunny spot about as large as ones

female removes the sand and gravel
to a depth Of from three to four in

done? Is some of the sand and grav-

interesting to note what coy places
these nests occupy. Such spots are
sometimes like miniature houses as
the aquatic plants are so close to-
sether at the top that one may we'll

Hills and Barrows.

AT one timo the term barrows was
applied to hills and mountains Of any
elevation, but was later restricted to
lower elevations. Now the word ap-
plies to mounds Of earth or stones
raised over graves, and designated as
sepulchral mounds. Barrows are
among the most important mountains
Of primitive peoples. They arc
found in Great Britain. other sec
tons OF Europe. in North America
and Asia. In the more ancient bar
rows the bodies are found lying ex-
tended on the ground with imple-
ments and weapons Of stone or bone
beside them. In barrows Of later
date the implements are Of bronze.
and sometimes, though rarely. of
iron. while the remains are often in
closed in a stone or earthenware cist
and doubled up. Where the body
was burned the ashes were usually
deposited in an urn. The numerous
barrows Of North America are gen.
orally clasSed along with other
ancient earthworks as mounds or
burial mounds.
