Owl> That Show a Phosphorescent
Glow In the Dark.
" i-M 1 - A . _ .1 A _
we are ioiu oy some siuueuu*
there is a 6pecies of owl that has a
phosphorescent glow in the dark
and that it is a rare bird.
There may be such a bird, but a
careful investigation on the part of
a number of persons who have made i
uch things a careful 6tudy has revealed
the fact that certain owls
and even bats and other creatures
that are known to roost in old hollow
trees that are in a certain stage
of decay, producing that peculiar
phosphorescent condition so often j
witnessed, and coming in contact
with the matter that makes the ;
glow, the feathers or outer coating j
of the creatures become saturated
with the luminous matter and on
damp nights give forth a brilliant
glow, such as is often seen on old
stumps, decaying logs and in some
localities on ledges of limestone
that protude from the hillside.
a number of occasions the
writer has Known persons to be badly
frightened by coming suddenly
upon a mass of what is known to
many as fox fire. It is more frequently
seen during the summer
months, during or shortly after a

will depend much on the location, !
the temperature, and sometimes
much is due to the person's imagination.
This same glow is often seen on
small animals and a number of insects.
The glowworms are quite
common in various sections of the ]
world, and in some localities insects
have a brilliant glow coming from
beneath their wings. The liretlies
or lightning bugs are the most common
in the United States.
In some countries certain vegetable
growths are known to give forth
such a glow, and it has been hinted

A Welsh Legend.
In Wales there is a legend of
Irish smugglers who arrived at
Llanddona many years ago in a
boat li'ithout rndcler j)r oars. They
were looked upon, according to the
Irish custom of sending malefactors
to a sea doom in this plight, as
outlaws. However, they nau been
allowed to land, and a 6pring of
water bursting forth in the sand at
the place was taken as a sign of
their right to a refuge. But they
ill repaid the Welsh. The men
lived by smuggling, the women by
witchcraft. Jt was not possible to
overcome the smugglers in a fray,
for each carried about with him a
black fly tied in a knot of his kerchief,
and the moment the knot
was undone the fly flew at the eyes
of the opponents and blinded them.
If the Llanddona witches attended
a market and bid for anything no
one ventured to bid against them.

Time Hung Heavy on His Hands.
A Chinese iaundryman recently
had liis troubles with a watch that
habitually lost tiire. So he took
the timepiece to the nearest watchmaker.
"Watchee no pood to Charlie
Lee/' said he briefly, pushing it
neross the counter. "You fixee him,
eh?*'
"Certainly," said the watchmnktr.
"What seems to be the trouble
with it?"
"Oh, him too muchee by V by,"

Jules Verne's Romance.
The story of Jules Verne's courtship
and marriage is a most roman- j
tic one. Verne was a shy young fellow
who had a great dislike to the
society of women, and it was only
his affection for his brother which
led him to go to the latter's wed-1
ding. Verne, however, arrived too
late and found that the whole bridal
party had left for the church with j
the exception of the bride's sister, [
a charming young widow, who explained
the matter. The friendship j
thus accidentally begun rapidly developed
into a warmer feeling and
ended in a marriage which may be
described as idea1.

nine left.
Johnny?No; I should have

Two Strong Reasons.
A certain Scotch minister in a
west highland parish has never yet
been known to permit a stranger to
occupy his pulpit. Lately, however,
an Edinburgh divinity student was
spending a few days in the parish,
and on the Saturday he called at
the manse and asked the minister I
to b? allowed to preach the follow-1
ing day:
"Mv dear young man," said the
minister, laying a hand gently on
the young man's shoulder, "gin 1

The Child Actress.
The child actress is born, not
drilled. From the time she sits up
and babbles babv phr.vses she lives
in a mimic world. From the time,
she learns to walk she dances,!
pirouettes and minces her way \
along. Her "make believe'' world'
is full of thrilling happenings, ami
so when her talent finds an outlet
on the stage acting is no effort, and
she learns "lines" as the average
