• Anarroat FROM THE NORTH:
Pine Grosbeaks Honor Lower Lake
Country This Year.
• From the inclement land of stunt -
,ed firs, where the long days of a brief
.eummer are in haste to vanish into
the still repose of a mason of snow,
-the pine grosbeaks have made a south-
ern pilgrimage. It is not every year
that they honor the lower lake coun-
try with a visit, writes S. T. Woods
in The Globe, as theit northern home
is usually well stocked with the seeds
-and buds that are their favorite diet.
When they do come south they are so
innocent of the savage ways of man
that they fall ready victims of unwar-
ranted 'confidence. Perching 'in the
-trees within easy reach of the pave.
:menta, they show no trace of the alert
-vigilance that saves the sparrows from
*city dangers. They are but mildly cur-
' ions when approached, and are often
-struck down by human agaadifiris when
the least precaution would have saved.
their lives. On the ground they walk
after the manner of snowbirds and.
shore larks, but they prefer to assem-
ble in the lower branches of the trees.
There they sit stolid and indifferent
or move about with easy deliberation.
"These birds are smaller and more ro-
tund than the robins, and their long
residence in the lone and remote north
has given them a more serious and
-thoughtful aspect, with an innocence
of the world's way s\ that leads to their
-destruction.
When feeding in 'the rowan trees 0
amen the thorn -apples they climb
earenit with the slow certainty of par-
-rots. They seem uncleanly eaters, foe
:their food is the seeds, not the flesh;
of the lingering fruit. The frozen pulp
is discarded in the search for seeds,
and is scattered over the snow in tins
„ -tidy profusion. Sonietimes it clings
to the bills of the feasting birds, giv-
ing them an aspect of uncleanly greed.
It is not because they gorge them-
eselves in unseemly haste that the pulp
, of the thorn -apples and rowan berries
-clings to their bills, but because they
reject everything but the seeds. The
.slaty grey plumage of the male is
washed over delicately with rose red,
strongest on the head, back, and
breast, and the female is more lightly
touched with olive yellow. The stout,
round beak is formed for crushing
seeds, and adds to the general appear-
ance of stolid strength.
The pine grosbeaks are among the
birds we know only by occasional win-
ter visits. They nest in the inaccessi-
ble north, when the temperature is far
below zero. How their eggs and ten-
der, helpless nestlings are saved from
the destructive frosts is one of nature's
mystittries. Parental affection in some
way triumphs over the cruel persist-
ence of the frost king, and the young
broods are nursed through winter's
hardships into the brief and inviting
summer. Winter is generally well ad-
vanced before the more venturesome
among them take a southern tour into
the dangerous haunts of man. But
they are irregular and purposeless mi-
grants, and sometimes come down
while the weather is still warm and
comfortable. Few of them survive
these southern excursions. Entirely
' innocent regarding the cruel destrue.
S
tiveness\ of man, they enter his crowd-
ed thoroughfares with the free con-
fidence of the "silent pine filmes. They -
bring the intelligence as well as the
innocence of the forest, and after a
few have been killed with canes 'and
whips the others grow more cautious.
Yet they are always easy victittis of
the floberts and shotguns. The few
who have reached the city are evi-
dently survivals, for they have learn-
ed lessons of caution, Perhaps their
human enemies wills let them enjoy
a Christmas vacation in the city and
-.turn to the safety of the northern
wilds.

DANGER ,L.UR-8. IN DUST.
Microbes of Various Climes Float

-Show Fast Traveling Of Germs,
Few persons realize the danger to
health and life that lurks in dust.
Already automobile sore throat has
become a recognized disease. That its
0041se is dust is Plains, from the fact
that it is only those who drive near
and in large towns who suffer. Some
such bad throats may Arise from the
mechanical irritation set up by the
ebeeP pellicles inhaled; but, AS a rule,
these are real, septic sore throats
caused by poisonous deeps° germs.
A fact which few of ua recognise is
that the dry dust which we see whirl -
fug before the wind on the surface of
a turnpike road is composed not only
of finely divided mineral matter, but
also of vast quantities of animalcules
and of germs of different kinds, some
harmless, some cleedly, lii one pun of
that dust may be meteoric dust from
space, -finely powdered diatoms, de-
cayed animal matter, scales from the
wings of insects, rotifers and micro
organisms, including the germs of sev-
eral different diseases.
Fill a pill box with this dust per-
fectly dry and. APParently altogether
'lifeless and add to a pinch of it a few
drops of distilled water. Then
ex-
amine the result under a microscope.
-Arriibeerlininediately the particles be,
gin to stir, and presently the water is
alive with rapidly moving, furiously
hungry animalcules.
These dust creatures are moat tena-
cious of life,. Some years ago Dr. Alls.
,guel proved this by an ex-
periment. He tooksome earth and
dried it for two days in a temperature
of about 100 degrees F. Then ' he

'More recently the Irish 'professor,

travel. He took a number of easily

upon a dust heap nearly 300 yards
from a house where gelatin culture
plates were exposed. The wind at the

Atomic Weight of Silver.
One cannot be too often reminded
of the tact that in science it is the
little things, .sometinies the littlest of
things, that are frequently of the
greatest ineportanca. An instance is
furnished by the recent redetermine -
tion, upon the invitation of iherintere
national committee on atomic weights,
of the atomic weight of .silver. . The
work was done by P. A. Guye and
G. Ter-Gazian, who after Many expert.
meats have concluded that the atomic
weight of silver. shelled be expressed
by the number 107.89 instead of 107.93,
the - number heretofore employed. This
