Ways of the Grow.

NATURALIsTs declare that the
crow it a social being and,
therefore. a lover of his home. The
adult crow, it appears. is seldom
seen alone. After the young crow
mates he does not change his abode
Early in April the crows begin TO
build the new nests of the commu-
nifty and to repair the old ones. These
nests are composed OF scaffolding of
dry branches and a bed of grass or
leaves. bark and roots. The various
materials are cemented together with
clay and the finished nest is lined
with wool, fur, hair or moss
Nothing, it would seem, is more
remarkable in bird nature than tho
devotion of the parent crow. The
community mounts guard over the
nest until the young are ready for
flight. After the young birds have
left the nests the different com
munities or tribes domiciled in the
same region assemble with every
evidence of systematic organization.
Their meetings are held before the
dawn and the meeting place is n de
serted spot where perfect secrecy
can be observed. During the session
many distinctly different cries are
heard and in them naturaIfsts have
professed to see the rudiments of n
language. The parley ended. crows
scout the country, presumably to
make sure that the way is safe, and
a little later the tribes sent out to
! forage for the first meal OF the day
toward the afternoon the foragers
colIect IN groups, seek shelter and
rest and sleep, hidden in the leafage
| OF tall trees. Their sleep over. thew
set out again and forage and feed
until evening, when they assemble for
the night parley. In the midst of their
debate the chatter ceases suddenly,
and in silence, with great caution.
the scouts set out to reconnoiter for
the night. Assured of safety the in
dividuals of the different tribes wing
their silent flight to their nocturnal
| hiding places.
The search for food is the crow s
chief business, although his love for
| glittering things causes him to
wander from his ordered road when
| attracted by the CLEAN of some object
! at a distance. If the object of his
i curiosity can be transported. ne
takes 1t.
The crow is easily tanned. but the
process demands patience. Many
crows talk as distinctly as parrots.
Pliny the elder quotes a case where
a crow alighted in the Forum and
saluted the Emperor Tiberius and his
two sons. Hcalling them by name"

/ form OF a sphere and not concen-
trated in any one special direction.
But 1t is a tremendous figure-about
1900 horsepower per acre at the
outer edge of the earth's atmosphere.
About 10 per cent gets through the
atmosphere to the earth's surface, so
that on a clear day, at noon, we
would have about 5000 horsepower
of energy per acre coming down on
us. Now, work the skull to find out
how to catch IL and store the heat
and power and you will have H. Ford
and J. D. r. and the national banks
all looking like white chips in a
poker game.
| You should not be unduly disap-
pointed in the great losses of power
/ in transmission from the sun to the
earth. The 1900 horsepower per
! square foot up there is just $4,000
900 miles away. The heat carried
| through the mysterious and unknown
ether" which also carries the radio
waves. must travel that 93.000.000
miles through a temperature of some
where around 273 degrees below zero.
Now. that is fairly cold.
l. The curious fact is that the sun
rays never warm it up. They pass
! right along through 1t. waiting for
some solid or material body against
which they may leave their heat
For best results have that body paint
| ed black. then the absorption reaches
its maximum.
Though we are 100000 miles
nearer the sun in January than in
June, curiously again the absorption
/ of solar energy by the atmosphere
around the earth is greater in sum-
mer than in winter by fully 20 per
cent. Think of that these coming
August days and rest your mind.
| The reason for this is that there is
| much more water vapor In the air
| in the summer months. The rule is,
| that the greater the degree OF hu-
| midity the greater is the amount of
heat absorbed by the atmosphere,
| thus preventing the heat from reach
| ing the earth. Tell that to the per-
son who hands you the old familiar
line, 'It amt the heat" ETC., during
the dog days
Although the theoretical power
value on the earth is 5000 horse
power per acre. do not imagine that
anything like that amount can be
Icaptured or converted into mechanical
power by any methods known al
present. We are very wasteful with
heat and power derived from coal
even under the best mechanical con.
trivances we have today. and Goa
burning has had great deal of sci.
entific thought expended on it.

ILLNESS IS FATAL TO
EARL OF CARNARVON
TOMB DIScOVERER DIES AFTER
FIGHT AGAINST INFECTION
AND PNEUMONIA
Physicians Assert Death Due to Ac-
cident Which Might BefaII
Anyone Who Submits
To Climate

Cairo.-The Earl of Carnarvon, dis
Tutankhamen, died early Thursday at
hotel here after stubborn battle
against blood poisoning and pneu-
monia following the bite of an insect.
Lady Carnarvon, who made a hur-
ried trip to Cairo from London by
air and by sea, was at the bedside.
A daughter and son, Lord Port
chester, were also present.
The first word of the earl's illness
came on March 10, when 1t was said
he was suffering from an infection
due to the insect bite, which he had
received at Assouan He was then
brought to this city where physicians
found that the throat and tonsils
were affected.
Although medical science will at
tribute the earl's death to such an
accident as might befall anyone who
entrusts himself to this climate, there
are thousands of natives who firmly
believe that the vengeance of the
Pharaohs was visited upon the ex-
plorer who sought out the treasures
of ancient Egypt. Superstition has
1t that he who hampers with the
tomb OF an Egyptian monarch is
doomed by curse of the ancients
and consequently the earl's Illness
was pointed to as q fulfillment OF
the old legent.
