LAND BIRDS FOLLOW STEAMER
Perch on spars and Rigging Of YES
sells and Are Carried Far
From the Land.

Land birds far from land form one
Of the sights to be witnessed by pas
sengers on board the steamers cross
ing Lake Michigan. This is said to
be especially the case on the steamers
of a. line plying between Muskegon
and Chicago. distance of 100 miles.
The steamers sail after dark.
At shutdown the spars and rigging
of the vessels in the dock form good
resting places for the land birds. When
darkness comes and the boats begin
to move it is too late for them to go
ashore.
It is, said to be no uncommon thing
for the passengers to see strange
sight just between daybreak and sun
rise. The birds are waking up and
find themselves some thirty-odd miles
from land. They circle about the boat
until they are compelled to rest on
the rigging. some of them seeming
much perplcxed, while others make
the best of circumstances.
On one trip two yellow hammers or
flickers were among, the company, as
well as silent little sapsucker that
pecked away at ropes and spars as il
he were hreakfaHting heartily on

CONDITION HARD TO IMAGINE
What Would Happen to the Sun and
Other Heavenly Bodies if There
Were No Atmosphere.

Were the earth deprived Of its at
mosphere and existence possible under
such conditions, we should find that
no rosy dawn would herald the rising
Of the sun in the darkened east, or
gorgeous colors mark its setting in
the west. The sky would be dark by
day as we'll as by night, says writer
in London Answers.
The stars would shine brightly
through the entire "a hours. but we
should see thousands more of them
than are now visible on even the clear
est nights. They would'not twinkle in
the least. :,
They would be seen almost up to
the very edge of the sun itself, but
Immediately round the sun there
would be. glow having the appears
ance of broad wings, and red flames
would add their grandeur to the i'm
pressive scene.
The zodiacal light would appear as
a broad beam Of light in the spring,
up to the left of the place where the
sun had set. It. would. be possible to
study. this remarkable object, and no
doubt to solve quickly the mystery
which has chung to it for so many cen
turtles. - ... ;; 339 :,
The appearance Of, the, milky way
would be far more magnificent than it
is now, seen even from tropical coun-
tries.
A big comet would be seen months
before It got to the sun, and we
should witness it sweep round the
sun with incredible speed and dart of
into space again. 1;
Mercury and Venus could have theil
movements followed with ease, and
any other planet there might be be-
tween Mercury and the sun would
soon be discovered.

Mastered Twenty-Five Lanquagts.

( Sir Richard Burton. explorer and
linguist, was the master of 20 Ian
guages which he understood perfectly.
He made it rule to study or read
something in one Of these languages

separated in his mind. He had seven
work tables ana switched from one
to the other every day. At night he
banished all work and devoted him

The Land of Wonders.

Shasta county. California. is the
land of wonders. The latest Is the
dancing egg. 1t is laid by an as yet
undetermined insect on the leaves Of
oak trees. Masses of these eggs
cling to the under side of the leaf
and as they advance toward matur-
ity they drop to the ground and dance
about. BY holding an oak twig con-
tanning any number of eggs TO ones
ear cracking sound may be heard,
like the splitting of electric sparks. The
shell contains tiny grub, working
for release. In many towns collec-
tons of the eggs are on exhibition.
When laid on table these eggs bound
about and spring into the air, some
times to a height of 16 inches. They
are particularly active in the early
morning.

SWEPT OFF ALL VEGETATION
Ancient Records Tell of Visitation
Of Locusts That Were Followed
by Dire Famine.

A passage of locusts In France, In
1913, entirely cut up even to the roots
more than $4,000 acres of corn near
Aries, and had even penetrated into
the barns and granaries, when, as it
were by Providence, many hundreds of
birds, especially starlings, came to
diminish their numbers. Notwith-
standing this, nothing could be more
astonishing than their multiplication,
for the fecundity of the locust is re-
markable.
Upon an order issued by the govern
ment for the collection of their eggs,
more than 5000 measures were col
lected, from each of which, 1t was
calculated, would have issued nearly
two millions of young ones. In 1850
they entered Russia in immense d.
visions in three places, thence passed
over into Poland and Lithuania, where
the air was darkened by their num-
bers. In many parts they lay dead to
the depth of four feet Sometimes
they covered the surface of the
earth like a dark cloud, loaded the
trees, and the destruction which they
produced exceeded all calculation. In
1915 immense swarms visited the
islands of Formosa and Tayowan and
caused such a famine that 5000 per-
sons died of hunger.

voleesn of crickets.

Crickets sing with their wings and
not with their legs. And katydids do
the same. You do not believe it.?
Since you were little child you have
been told that crickets made their
chirping sounds by rubbing their hind
legs together or scraping their legs
against their wings or sides, or some
thing like that. AT any rate. they
made what might be called foot notes
or sang by leg power.
Insect students have settled the
question. They say that crickets, like
nearly all other varieties of singing
insects, have distinguishing organs"
at the base of their wings. Rubbing
these organs together, they produce
vibrations and the wings, which are
hollow, serve as sounding boards and
increase the volume of the sound.
The ''stringulating organs" look like
two small folded wings having saw
like edges. The insect rasps these two
saw edges together.

Had Good Inaalnation.

Mark Twain had such vivid i'm
agination that it was a difficult task
for him to tell a straight story just
as it happennd--he could make up one
that was so much better. 1t Is said
that Albert Bigelow Paine, working
on the Mark Twain Life" found 1t
necessary to discard much of the au-
Photographic material that Mark Twain
had written. Investigation and talks
with men still living who knew the
facts simply proved that the tales
were not so. And Mark Twain was
no liar. He had a glorious, an al
most superhuman Imagination. AS
he approached three-seore and ten he
said. as quoted In the 'Life:" when
/ was younger l could remember any
thing. whether 1t happened or not (;
but ] am getting old, and soon / shall
remember only the latter"

Find a Mummified DInosaur.

The vast ice fields of Siberia have
in many instances acted as a natural
plant for the preservation
of the fesh of the mammoth, this pre-
historic cousin of the elephant, having
been dug out of his chilly grave intact
on numerous occasions. 1t has always
been supposed. however, that this was
the only instance in which anything
more than the bare bones of the fauna
of past geological epochs had come
down to us. Doubtless this mammoth
will continue to stand unique In this
respect; but he is no longer unap-
preached. There has recently been
put on exhibition In the Senikenberg
museum, Frankfort-am-Main, a dino
saur skeleton which carries with 1t
considerable portion of the skin of the
animal, in mummified form. In partic-
ular the epidermis over the animals
back is present practically intact. The
skeleton has been mounted in flying
position, and makes altogether an i'm
pressive exhibit-Scientific American.

Queer British City.

The most unique city in the three
Kingdoms Is Clogher, situated In the
south of Tyrone, Ireland, an episcopal
city, consisting of a single street with
houses only on the one side There is
saying in the North-"All on one
side, like Clogher' The other side of
the street is occupied by the wall and
overhanging trees of the Macartneys
demesne. which gives the place a, very
picturesque appearance. Further, this
street has cathedral, and an episco-
pal palace without resident bishop,
and deanery without a dean!

Extracted Teeth with FINGERS.

The work of old-time Chinese
dentists is ludicrously primitive. The
operator extracts all teeth with his
finger. From youth to manhood he is
trained to pull pegs from wooden
board, and this training changes the
aspect of the hand, and .,iyes him a
finger grip that is equivalent to
lifting power Of three or four hun
dred pounds. For toothache he EN-
ploys opium, peppermint oil, CHINA
mon oil and Glove OIL Sometimes he
fills teeth. but he does it so poorly
that the filings fall out after a few
months There is an element of super
stition in his work. for he asserts
that all dental troubles are brought on
by tooth worms. and he always shows
the nerve pulp to the patient as such
worm, For humbugging purposes,
alsa the dentist carries about in his
poe eet some white grubs, and after
he has extracted a tooth he shows a
grub to the sufferer as the cause of all
the trouble.

WOULD PROVE HE WROTE JOB
Australian Naturally Indignant When
His Claim to Authorship Became
Matter of Dispute.

Here is an extract from an Aus

took out the Bible on the customary
terms, value down, and Sd. charged
for the reading. He had come in
asking for 1.-THE Book of job" He
looked like a person fresh from TODD
lembuck as l ran puzzled eye over
him. "The Book of Job?" said /. II
haven't 1t separately, but you'll find
1t in the Bible" "Gimme one, and
show me where" said the caller.
pointed out the Book of Job, and
my new customer took the Bible out.
He returned 1t on the third day.
"When was that writ?' said he. ex-
planned that it was about 1000 years
since 1t was first put upon the mar
ket. 81 s'pose an old chap name Of
Job up at the Slip couldn't have writ
it?" / didn't think 1t at all likely. II
always told the misses Job was liar
said the new customer. He went
away, but about a week later re-
ceived a letter from the Slip. 1t as
sured me that Horis Job, Twin there,
did write this book, and what's more
said he'd do it again If any city bloke
disbelieved him.

THREsHlNG MADE A PASTlME
Italian Families Beat Wheat From
Straw in Rhythm, and Seem to
Enjey the Work.

Gasparino Dante got up early Sun
day morning, and before the sun was
very high his days work was well
started on his farm near Capula, Italy.
Tie two daughters-One eighteen and
the other fifteen-started (and fin
ished) the day with the men. The
younger children were too small to be
of any help, although the boy of ten
scattered wheat over the stone thresh-
ing floor so that it would be ready
when the older members OF the family
had finished with breakfast-bread
and cheese and coffee, for Dante can
afford coffee in the morning. He
owns thirty acres
When threshing started, the father
paired with the oldest girl on the
side of the floor; the other couple
stood side by side opposite. The four
fails were poised high in the air an
instant and then at a shout from the
farmer one pair descended and as they
were lifted the couple opposite struck
The four beat the grain, keeping
perfect time and pausing only while
the boy raked the straw into pile
at one side of the floor and swept the
kernels of wheat into another heap,
and threw down a fresh supply.
Then, with a shouted signal that
seemed to welcome the new onslaught
the rhythm of the humping started
again. The manner of the threshers
was more like that of couples dancing
an old-fashloned quadrille than that
of harvest toilers under the blister
ing, binding midsummer sun of south
ern Italy.

MoLIERE UNHAPPY IN LIFE
Great French Playwright and Coined
ian Seems to Have Had the Usual
Fate of Genius.

Ar1nande Bejart, beautiful, witty
and quick tempered. an actress of rare
ability and charm, was the wife of
Moliere, the leading comedian of his
time, and one Of the greatest in the
worlds history. Under twenty, when
she married the playwright, then a
man of forty, given to spells Of mood
mess and abstraction and endowed
with all the eccentricities of genius,
1t would, as one biographer has said,
be little short of a miracle had the
marriage been happy one.
Attracted by her beauty, the play
wright once married, did little to
show his love. His interest in his
work kept him away from his young
bride a large part Of the time, and
the old story of the neglected wife
was the result Armande loved adj
miration, and when she did not get it
from her husband, she flirted, harm
lessly to be sure, but sufficiently to
arouse his fierce Jealousy.
The pair quarreled constantly, even
bringing thelr disagreements before
Louis XIV, with whom they were
favorites. When their first son was
born Louis acted as godfather. In
spite of their stormy life, they were
passionately attached to each other,
and Moliere wrote many of his plays
to provide Armande with suitable
relies. They were married only IL
years when he died.
