chickens are so fine and no day is too fine for tllem."
 ''What lot of nonsense you talk" said Red Top. Cock -a-doodle-do, what lot of nonsense. Just because hens and chickens are fine you think they must have fine days for them" 1
 "Not exactly that" said Mrs. Hen. ".I don't exactly mean that. But I mean that this day is very fine."
 ''The day is very fine whether you mean it is or not" said Red Top.
 "Yes," agreed Mrs. Hen, that is so. But it is fitting and suitable and right and proper that fine chickens and fine hens should have fine days for themselves once in awhile.
 ''So I say this is a regular day for hens and chickens" r....@-
 You didn't say regular before." crowed Red Top.
 'Then and now are different" said Red Top. ...s whole idea Is so silly. Do you mean to say that you think this day is fine just for the chickens and the hens7
 'T suppose you think that Mr. Sun and the South Wind and all the other creatures that helped to make this day so beautiful thought of nothing else but you and the chickens and the other hens. I suppose that is what you thinkT
 ~And why notr'. asked Mrs. Hen. ~.That is nice, pleasant thought"
 'But it hasn't any sense to it." said Red Top. "There are the flowers to be thought of and the farmers crops and the boys and girls and the grown up people and the trees and the birds. Gracious, 1t is fine day for all of them and for all of us, not only for the hens and chickens"
 'But didn't say 1t was a nice day only for us," said Mrs. Hen. 'T said it was a nice day for us, but not only for us. I don't mind if the other creatures share the nice day too. don't mind ih the least" ..tt...
 'Tt wouldn't make much difference If you did," said Red Top.
 "Not bit of difference, quack, quack," said Sir David Duck.
 "Not bit of difference, we can all share the day, quack, quack," said Mrs. David Duck.
 "Not bit of difference" said Mrs. Indian Runner Duck, and the little ducks all said, t,
 "Quack, quack, it wouldn't make a scrap of difference"
 'The children have all gone wild strawberry hunting" said Dash, the dog, "and they're going to get lots and lots of delicious wild strawberries because their mother has promised to make a wild-strawberry short-cake. What a good time they will have and they have worn their very oldest clothes so it won't matter if they get stains or not" .-..

Llaht Without Heat.

One of the things which inventors
would like much to accomplish is the
production Of light without heat. Ma
ture proves by the example Of the
FREELY and the glowworm that the
thing can be done. Experiments made
abroad have shown what had long
been believed without direct measure
ment of tie temperature that the light
radiated from n Geissler tube, when
an electric current passes through 1t,
Is accompanied by very little heat.
This accordS with the view that we
must look to electricity for a solu.

EXPLAINING GROWTH OF FISH
How II Is Possible TO Make Accurate
Computation Has Been Ex-
planned by Expert.

Fishermen often wonder how fast
bass and erapple grow. The answer
is that 1t all depends on the quality
and temperature Of the water and
the abundance Of natural food. ac.

ent Of the governments bureau Of
fisheries at Neosho, Mo.
A one-year-old crapple in Missouri
viii be four inches long, a two-year-
old one seven inches, a three-year-old
one nine inches, Mr.. Foster says Some
never get that length and others keep
growing until they weigh 81 pounds
or more. Lass average about five
inches at one year, eight inches at
two, foot ut three, and on up the
scale. One fish Of the same age and
on the same nourlshment may weigh
much more than another one-just as
with people, Mr.. Foster points out.
Bass and crapple spawn once year.
The time is during April, May and
