e E. G, Bryant, writing front Port 111z -
beth, South Africa, suggests filet a
possible explanation might lie in the
well known fact that tbe light of the
moon, being reflected light, is more or
less polarized, awl possibly polarized
light may exert a peculiar chemical
• action. Polarized light was obtained
by him from a powerful metallic fila-
ment lamp, the light being polarized
by means of a pile of sheets �f plate
• glass bricked with silver and placed at
,•the correct angle.
. The experiments showed certain
'V marked results when Mt were submit-
' ted to this light. When two slices cut
from the saute fise were hung, one in
the direct light and the other in the
polarized beam of light, the latter in-
variably began to decompose before
the former, though the temperature of
,the polarized beam was several de-
'grees lower than the direct light. -New

1, TWO FACED RONCONI.
He Could Depict Tragedy on One Side
and Comedy on the Other.
In "The Memoirs of an American
•Prima Donna," by Clem Louise Kel-
logg, there is a good story of Ronconi,
who played second cobbler in "Cris-
pino e In Coniare." We are told that
he was one of the finest Italian bari-
tones that ever lived and succeetled in
getting a degree of genuine high corn-
. edy out of the part that has never been
• surpassed.
"He used to tell of himself a story of
. the time when he was singing In the
Royal opera at St. Petersburg. The
czar -father of the one who was mur-
, dered-said to bin) once:
" Ttonconl, I understand that you are
• sdversatile that you eau express trag-
edy with one side of your face wben
ou are singing and comedy with the
other. How do 3,an do it?'
"'Your majesty,' rejoined Roncont
•when I sing "Maria de Bohan" tomor-
• row night I will do myself the honor
• of showing you.'
"And accordingly the next evening
he managed to turn one side of his
face, grim as the tragic mask, to the
- audience, while the other, which could
be seen from only the imperial box,
was excessively humorous and cheer-
ful. Tbe czar was greatly amused and
delighted with the exhibition."
Pelicans and Their Pouches.
The pelican is not an attractive bird.
'He offends both the eye and the nose.
But he is commendably regular in Ms
habits. The parent birds catch _fish.
emd after eatiug their fill deposit the
others in their pouches under their bills
and carry them to their young. These
pouches will hold from three to eight
pounds of fish. They are elastic and
when distended to their utmost nearly
tenth the ground. When empty the
pouch lies close up under the big bill
,and is merely a mass of wrinkles. It
Is this pouch that gives the pelican his
characteristic and disagreeaLle odor,
.caused by particles of decaying fish.
The pelican's legs are short and strong,
. and its feet have large webs. It is,not
;a fast swimmer or a rapid flier, but it
:is practically tireless in both air and
water. On land it is awkward and un-
wieldy.

A very geiet but pretty wedding was
solemnized at the home of Mrs, Cuyler,
on Saturday, Jan. 24th, at 11.30 a. m.,
when her eldestrlaughter,EdnaIdzurnka,
was united in holy bends of matrimony
to Mr. James Ramage, of St. Helens.
Rev. Mr. Treleaven, of Lucknow, uncle
of the bride, officiated. The bride, who
was given away by her cousin, Harold
Treleaven, also of Lucknow, was pret-
tily attired in a gown of silk mull and
carried a boquet of carnations and maid-
en hair fern. Miss Treleaven, cousin of
the bride, played the wedding march,
After the ceremony and congratulations
all retired to the dining room, where a
sumptuous repast was served to a few
of the near relatives of the bride and
groom. The happy couple left on the
afternoon train for Toronto and Sarnia.
Their many friends join in wishing them
every success and prosperity in their
journey through life.
On Thursday evening, Jan. 29th, a
very enjoyable evening was spent by
Court Whitechurch, No. 110, C. 0,
Foresters there being on that occasion
thirteen new members initiated into the
mysteries of the Order. After the
meeting the members repaired to the
school room of the Presbyterian Church
where the members' ladies had a grand
lunch ready, and was served in grand
style. After the lunch and social inter-
course everyone returned to the lodge
room, where a program of songs, music
and speeches were delivered by mem-
bers of the Order, when a hearty vote
of thanks was extended to the ladies for
the beautiful repast served. As it was
getting late the meeting closed by
singing "Auld Lang Syne,!' and al
went home fully satisfied with the very
enjoyable evening spent.
The Actress, Retort.
Georgette Leblanc, the actress, wife
of Maurice Maeterlinck. was on tour
in a French town, where the local
,company "supported" her in one of
her husband's plays.
But the support was weak and halt -
lug. The -poet's lines were mangled,
.and several characters seemed unable
to understand what they were saying.
Mum. Leblanc sought out her man-
ager and spoke to him.
. "A writer like elacterlinek sleeted be
treated with more respect."
"Madame," he enswered, "M. Mae-
terlinck is not the first eesuffer. Septe-
t
ecles, Moliere, Racine, Shakespeare,
'a -a) Goethe and other great dramatists are
daily murdered in the same way."
"Possibly, but tbey are not murdered
alive. at any rate,"

country town a drummer walked into
the village cemetery. He saw a monu-
ment, one of the largest in the ceme-
tery, and read with surprise the inscrip-
tion on it: "A Lawyer and an Honest
Man." He walked all around it and
examined the grave closely. Another
man in the cemetery approached and
asked him: "Have you found the grave
qf an old friend?" "No, but I was
wondering -how they came to bury those
two fellows in the same grave."

MOODS OF THE RHINO. Fier Cough
Emotions It Exhibits at the Sight and
Odor of Men.
The ▪ recognized presence of men
rouses in the rhinoceros several emot•
tions, which in the order of their in.
teiesity I sbould put as bewilderment,
fear, dull curiosity aud truculence. If
the men are merely seen usually the
only emotions aroused are bewilder-
ment and curiosity; if smelled fear Is
the usual result, lett In a certain num-
ber of cases even the sight or the smell
of men arouses senseless rage.
Some rhinos are always cross and
evil tempered, but many others which
are normally good natured now and
then have fits of berserker fury. Any-
thing conspicuous which arouses their
interest may also arouse their hostility.
White has an evil attraction for them.
My friends the MceIfilans while trate
eling through a rhino country found
that the two white horses of their cav-
alcade were so frequently charged that
they finally painted them khaki color.
I have never seen them charge other
game, and gazelles and hartebeests
feed in their immediate neighborhood
with indifference, yet I have been in-
formed by trustworthy eyewitnesses
Of one rhinoeeros charging a herd of
zebra and another some buffalo.
The rhinoceros ligually gets out Of
the way of the elephant. It will un-
questionably on occasions charge men
and domestic animals entirely unpro-
voked. Twice I have known et one
charging an oxen wagon. In one ease
an ox 'MS killed, in the other the rhino
got entangled In the yoke and trek

A TRIP ON THE KONGO.
---
Care Free Voyaging on Small wooe
Burning Steamboats.
A trip by steamboat ou the Kongo
river hes Its lazily amusing attrae-
dons as you descend from Stanley -
vide to the railway at LeupuldVihe, a
voyage of twelve claye, The boitts,
small, stern wheel affairs, carry from
twerity to thirty cabin passengers eaeb.
On the lower deck Ure the black trav-
elers, sometimes in a stifling crowd,
spra wling over the cargo. Most of the
captains are Swedes, Russians or Ger-
mans, and the engiueers are picked up
in Sierra Leone. Two conipaniete run
boats, and several of the miseion sta.
Eons have steamboats of their own
besides.
Sonie of the boats have small dining,
rooms; others set the tables on deck,
proteeted from the sun by awnings.
The food is nut luxurious, and very
little fresh meat is to be had. The
fuel is wood, and every five or six
hours the heat must stop to replenish
the supply from a heap of cut sticks
on the bank. These piles of wood are
made by natives or by scattered trad-
ers, often where no habitation is near,
and In spelt eases the captain pays for
the wood by putting money in a box
that the trusting woodsman has pro-
vided for the purpose.
Every boat carries a drum, and as it
approaches an Inhabited district the
drum is beaten to tell the natives that
goats, fruit or vegetables are wanted.
Every night the steamer ties up against
the hank, and all the black passengers
go to sleep on shore. But they devote
most of the night to merrymaking and
keep those on the boat as wide awake
ns themselves. -Youth's Companion.
SAVED BY A CAMERA.
A Photographer's Narrow Escape From
an Enraged Orang.
As a rule, orang outangs are caught
young and tamed before they are ship-
ped to Europe. Mr. W. P. Dando tells
In "Wild Animals and Cameras" of
such an ananal that arrived in London
with the best of characters. He was
considered a docile, steady going old
thing, and Mr. Dando was engaged to
photograph him.
I entered the oranges cage as 1 had
entered scores of others. 1 bad not ex-
posed many. plates before I saw that
the animal was intent on mischief, He
was a very powerful beast, and I
should have stood no chance at all if
he had attacked me.
My only chance was to use the cam-
era as a weapon. Making a sign to the
keeper to keep silent, I pointed my
hand camera at the orang and with
slow and steady step approached him.
The keeper was outside the door, ready
to open it, but neither of us uttered a
sound. I was relieved to see the orang
retreat gradually and at the same time
slowly rise from the crouched and
menacing position he had taken. Once
he was on the move, I knew 1 had a
chance. I succeeded in working him
round to the corner farthest from the
door, wbich the keeper had silently
and slowly opened.
Still pointing my camera at the
orang, I very, very slowly backed out
of the cage, the door was slammed to,
and I was safe. Even when I was
partly through the door opening any
quick movement on my part would
have been a fatal mistake. The ani-
mal could have reached me in an In-
stant.

His Golden Rules.
A Toronto hanker hangs up these
golden rules of conduct:
"Eave something to say.

"Stop talking."
These are fine rules for special occa-
sions and places, but not for general
application. They make no allowance
for the necessities of conversation nor
for the helpfulness of intercommunica-
tion.

gestion the golden rules that hung over

MUSTARD FOR THE LAYERS.
Hens after going through the period
of moulting, which is a severe strain on
them, naturally need toning up and
something to tempt their appetite. In
England for many years they have been
feeding mustard, which is the greatest
of table condiments. Breeders in the
United States have only just begun to
feed it , as it was regarded a valuable
secret and not allowed to get out, and
evennow reliable information can be
gotten from any of our experimental
stations of the value of mustard ae a
real stimu'ant and egg prodacer with-
out ill effects, but some large roultry
farms in the United States have been
using it with marked resuis as to in-
crease of eggs produced and quslity of
same.
Wusto.rd should be fed in the n- as'e
mixture, at the rate of one heaping tea-
spoonful daily to each ten birds. The
m-stard should be the roughly evenly
mixed with the ground grains in order
that all birds may receive equal amounts.
It is best to first n ix the mustard w'th
five times its bulk of the n ash a ixture
and this in turn with the balance of the
mash. The mash may be fed either dry
or moist. Mustard may be given through-
out the year, or only during the
cool season, as preferred. In some
cases the smnunt is inereaqed to one tea.
spoonful to seven or eight birds, espec-
ially where the larger varieties are kept.
In England during the years 1909 and
1910 Ralph R. Allen, editor of Monthly
Hints on Poultry, conducted a twelve
months test of mustard feeding. The
plan of the experiment was compreh-
ensive, and included three methods of
feeding ever lots of Buff Orpington pul-
lets. object of the test was to determine
the erarparitive egg preduction, the
comperitive cost and the effect of the
different retions on the birds. The first
pen received mustard in the mash brief-
ly summarize 1, Mr. Allen's published
results a; follows:
