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.

IN DUST. Microbes of Various Climes Float On Every Breezs-Experimenti -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 placed the dust fie bermetically,stealed tubes in a corner, of his laboratory and left it thee for sixteen years.

'More recently the Irish 'professor, McWeeny, showed how rapidly germs travel. He took a number of easily recognized microbes and sprayed them upon a dust heap nearly 300 yards from a house where gelatin culture plates were exposed. The wind at the time was blowing across the' dust heap toward the house, but •the air was damp. Within three hours specimens of the microbes Which had been spread upon the refuse heap were recognized upon the plates. • Greatest Long Distance Walker.

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 a mile away is the new French inven- tion, the eglephone, The sound is pro- duced by the use of what are celled speaking flames, and the principles governing the method were first ex- plained in 1903 by G.
