Detachable Bird Houses

1t is becominsseu;te The fashion fol
country; suburban, and even city
dwellers to provide small bird houses
in yards and parks. They are usually
mounted on poles or in trees, and as
they are securely fastened, it is not an
easy matter to remove them when it
is desired to paint, repair, or clean
them, which is occasionally necessary.

CHINA HAD
STONE AGE

Stockholm, Feb. 49, Discoveries
made in China by j. G. Anderson, a
Swedish scientist, establishes in his
belief that China had a stone age.
At Fcngtiep, the expedition headed
by Professor Anderson, cxcavatcd a
cave about eight by 18 feet. In it
were found bones from about 40 hu-
man bodies and Il large number Of
objects, none of which was Of metal.
The objects included arrowheads,
stone axes, bone avis, curious stone
rings and tiny piece of animal sculp-
turc made of marble, fragments Of
remarkable vessels, some with press
ed gcometrical patterns and others
with polished red surface orna-
mented boldly in black. Professor
Anderson dates the cave to the tran
sition between the stone age and the
bronze age, or about 2,00O-1 500 B.
c.
Large collections Of remains also
were found at Yang Shao, including
specimens of rcd and black ceramic
objects similar to those found at
Fengtien.. Heretofore leading experts
on Chinese history have held that
there was no evidence of stone age
in China. =

An Up-to.date Cat

| 1t is popularity supposed that cats
can see in the dark, perhaps not as
well as in daylight but enough for
general purposes. 1t is true that
they can get along with very little
light In absolute darkness, how
ever, such a thing as sight does not
exist We see an object because
| light, from the sun or artificial, re-
| fleets from the surface into our eyes
If there is no light whatever. the eye
can receive no more impression than
the back of the hand.
If you step from Il dimly lighted
room into one filled with sunlight, you
will note the pupil slightly enlarge.
The result is reverse when you pass
from bright light to partial shadow
This faculty is present in the eye of
every animal to a greater or less de-
gree. The cat is particularly favor
ed in this respect. In bright light,
the cats pupil will contract to very
small point and in the dark it will
open very widely. Nevertheless an
intelligent cat prefers a lighted xroom
for its usual activities as will be
shown by the following story.
Levi Bean, at his home on Mechanic
shed chamber. This he uses to cut
feed for the hens. Oftentmes lit
| tie meat will gather which can be fed
to his cat Major. Major understands
this well enough and when he hears
the machine going is certain to be at
hand. Levi has the somewhat I'M
usual habit of getting up in the early
morning hours, four or five O'Clock.
To,
he has to switch on an electric light
during the bone-cutting operation.
OF course when he goes downstairs
he turns the light off. For convent
ence he has arranged cord running
from the light down the stairway so
that he can turn it on to light the
stairs before he goes up. One morn
ing. a year or more ago, he came down
and turned the light off in the usual
way. On returning to the shed a
/ few minutes later. he found * on.
Distrusting his memory he felt he
must have forgotten to turn the light
off. This occurred repeatedly. how
ever, and he knew it was not forget
fulness. The thing remained mys-
terry for sometime until finally Mrs.
Bean observed the cat go along and
WIN ltS paw, pull or press down on
the cord and turn the light on. After
this Major WAS watched and seen TO
do it repeatedly. Major is a very
intelligent animal but could not be
educated as to the wastefulness of this
habit. so while it was decidedly in
teresting Levi felt obliged to protect
the cord in such way that the cat
could not get att. Doubtless Major
made many mental protest but Levi
