If he frequented quiek-luneh counters, he is ylad to sup spiders, hahy snakes, grasshoppers, earthworms. crickets, caterpillars, or crawfish. So you see rick ford in "HuMa From Hollan 1" at Majestic Tuesday, October 24 th. t lie r<> Is nothing narrow about him when its comes to victuals. He has a provident streak running through his makeup ? a disposition to lay up something for a "rainy day," for during warm spoils In winter, ho for ages all night long, and lays up a store for stormy nights when he can not get out. He knows that gauio will keep in cold weather, and so he does not hesitate to kill and pack away ns long as his pantry will hold It. On blustery winter nights, when the storm ing Is abroad, ami when howls among tin* brandies, lie dearly loves a mid night snack down In the cozy warmth of Ills hollow. Hi' Is not the aluggard that some people think, and he dvos not sleep' away really all the daylight hours, but often sits in his front door, and with unblinking eyes, gaze#* Into the ^future. lb' seems to lie In a sort of n trance, mid one may stand below and make all kind of imlsex, even to the shooting of a gun. but the owl does not so much as bat an eye, but will sit and stare Into space like some u ru von image. If daylight should catch 1 1 1 m out in the open, and he wets mixed up as to direction, and falls to regain his hollow, he will make himself Mok as much like Ills surround ings as posshle, and will masquerade as a knot on the tree, or an ornftinent <!ii the urate post, until the welcome :!ur;l; tovn lie.-* hi* e.ves and gives him back his >dght. All owls are very de* i-eptive ns to their size, as they are nothing like as hig as they look. Their plumage Is so light and fluffy, and stands out so straight from the body, that they appear much larger than they really are. If you could see a. screech owl undressed, you would nof recognize hlut.-the 1 1 tie I hi re body be ing about the size of a catbird's. By the way. wonder why a picked bird is always spoken of "as being "dress ed?" Ill-ought to the last analysis, an owl Is found to lie mostly claws and ifeatliers ? and- the very lightest" Teat Ti~ i ers in all the range of bird clothing, ; at that. The owl has the reputation of 1hj I Ing uncommonly wlso ? a reputation ! he has won. by simply looking as if i he knew it all. and keeping his mouth j shut? -a scheme successfully worked by | some humans of our acquaintance, j With all their retiring ways, the mother owl does not know what fear is. when j she gets In her head that the babies tare in danger. One evening at twi j light, the writer was walking slowly hack and forth under hemlocks tfiat i overhung the path; and while passing i directly under these trees, something ! struck him sharply on the head, knock ling off his hat, and inflicting three j slight scalp wounds. f^Yn examination I disclosed a j>air of baby owls seated i side by side on a limh that extended i i ver the walk. The anxious mother j resented the proximity, of human head ! near to her big-eyed darlings, nnd sail j ed in to protect them. Screech owls should he encouraged to take up their abode near barns and out buildings, j -ix they will prove a potent actor in I hocking the number of house mice. 1 -Mil wood mice that usually infest such j nlaccs. ? C. A. David. In Greenville i News. Ancients Used^as In Battle. The us? of burning and asphyxiating chemicals can be traced back to the time of a Greek writer of 360 13. C., ; one Aeneas by name, says Medical Inspector George A. Lung, U. S. N.. in a pamphlet on "Asphyxiating Gases as a Weapon In Warfare." which was j read originally at 'tbe twenty-fourth ! annual meeting of the Association of Military f rgeons ot the United States, held at Washington last September. He traces the development of Greek tire, which appears to have had certain of the asphyxiating effects of tho gases introduced into the present war by the Germans, and remarks that during our own Civil war an inventive genius sug gested that Petersburg might be cap tured by firing into it shells loaded with snuff, which would paralyze tho Confederate garrison by an epidemic of violent sneezing. ?

Lewis, assistant lecturer In the university, developed the Idea of pro ducing a strong antiseptic from sea water, This, according to the Liver pool Courier, was two yeara ago. y Blnce then all the disinfection and eleanslng of cultures and slides in the bactortologlcal and pathological labo ratorloM at the university have been done by an electric chemical apparatus which Insurott a powerful dlslufoctant from salt water. The apparatus employed on the Aqul tenia Is of course on a far larger scale than the one at the university. The principle, however, is precisely the same. There Is an electrolytic coll, a reversing switch* and some ordinary insulating electric cable. The cell stands upop a rubber mat, to insulate It, and is raised upon a low table, to enable the contents to be poured out oasily. It is filled with sea water and an electric current Is then turned on and a solution containing sodium hypochlorite, or available chlo rine, will be obtained. The solution is useful as a sterilizer of drinking water, and on the Aqulta nia it Is added to the water In the swimming bath.
