AERIAL TRAIL. BREAKING
One of the Most Impressive Sights in
Nature.
It is impossible for one who has
seek only the sonimon mute swans
fidlting about . in the artiecial lakes
of eity parks to imagine the grandeur
of a Bock of the great whistlere, in
their wild state. In "Wild Life and
the Ca.mera," Mr, A, R. Dugmore says
the sight is one of the rao,,t imures<ve
in nature. As the huge birds rise into
the air it -seems as if an aerial regatta
were being sailed overhead, the swans,
each with a wing spread of six or
seven feet, moving . like yachts under
full sail.
Once the swans are fairly under
way their speed is amazing, nearly a
hundred miles an hour, and that, too,
with no apparent effort. for the slow
wing motion is very deceiving. The
eel -dunce is as surprising their
rPeel, for ihe37 a.re, said lo irs.vel
thousand miles without alighting.
The Rocks are usually led by an old
and experienced swan, and It is said
that as one becomes tired of leading,
or it might be called aerial trail break-
ing, his place is taken by another
whose strength is equal to the task,
and so they continue until they reach
their destination, the southern feeding
grounds of the winter, or the northern
breeding places of the summer. Oc-
casionally they stop to rest in the re-
gion of the Great Lakes. Not many
years ago, while on their way north, a
large number stopped above Niagara
Falls, and more than a hundred were,
by some extraordinary mischance,
carried over the falls and killed in the
surging waters.
Whether the swans prepare in any
special way for their southward journ-
ey is not known; but before starting
north they indulge in the curious hab-
it known as "ballasting," that is to
say, they eat great quantities of sand,
for what purpose no one knows.
In the far -away Arctic Ocea.n is their
breeding place, and it is believed that
.hey mate for life. As with so many
sf the water birds, the swans protect
their eggs with. a covering of down
scratched from their own breasts, so
that when the birds leave the nest,
the two to six large, yellowish eggs
are hidden from the eyes of possible
thieves, and protected against sudden
changes of temperature.
It is many years before the swans
are clothed in the feathers of immacu-
late whiteness that make them such
conspicumis objects of beauty. Not,
indeed, until the fifth year does all
traces of gray disappear. The first
feathers are entirely gray; gradually
they lighten, becoming mottled with
white, the neck and head remaining
gray until after the body is completely
white.

WAR GOAT CREWED TOBACCO.
Story of "Nanny" and Her Sad
Fate at the Battlefront.
By no means the least interesting
thing about the war is the part that
animals are playing in it. The lat-
est tale is of a goat -not one of the
regimental ones whose presence at
the front has led to endless jokes
about "butts" for the riflemen, but
a stray white nanny with a long
beard that came one night right up
to the trenches in -which a French
regiment was squatting. A soldier
gave it a piece of biscuit and the
animal jumped in beside him. For
a while it lived with the men, one
of whom christened the animal
"The Matron" because it reminded
him of a, nurse he had known -'t
was so thin, so refined in manner
and so gentle.
Nanny, however, could chew to-
bacco like any American country
hotel chair -warmer. She had a
healthy appetite, too, for bread, po-
tatoes and carrots, but she more
than paid for her keep, for, every
day, she yielded a, generous quan-
tity of delicious creamy milk. But
she was fond of her liberty, and one
day, as she was returning to the
trenches she fell a victim to a, Ger-
man bullet.
The Frenchmen were greatly en-
raged, and, at night, when the
"Bosches" stole out with the object
of seizing "The Matron's" body,
they got a warm reception. The
Frenchmen sprang ab them like
tigers, and, before they could beat
a, retreat, a dozen Germans bit the
dust. Nanny was taken back to the
French trenches and solemnly in-
terred. some distance from the
front.

have her voice tried by some great
teacher. So she went one day,
dressed very simply, and without
the usual retinue of servants to see
Professor Dumanoie of Bucharest,
and urged him to give his frank

HOLES IN TREES.
Value of the Woodpeeker la Kilhing
Insects. •
When you walk along a country
road at the edge of a piece of woods,
•and come to a wild apple tree or a
decaying .stump from which top and
branches have fallen, you will often
see a round hole in it halfway up
its length, or under a big limb. Any
youngster will tell you at once that
it is a woodpecker's nest. It is
woodpecker work, no doubt, but is
it now, or was it ever, the home of
a pair of woodpeckers?
its size will give you a fair hint
of whether it was made by the big
logeock, by a, flicker or a redhead,
or by one of the smaller kinds, like
the downy or the hairy woodpecker.
He is a little checkered follow, with
a broad white stripe down his back
and a red cap, and he is a constent
visitor toour orchards. He has
beenscalled an "inspector of apple
trees," for he cleans the fruit treea.
of borers and other injurious Insect
pests.
But a woodpecker's hole is not
neeessarilyA nest. The woodpecker
digs holes for other purposes. Some-
times he has to cut so deeply to
get at a big grub that the hole
looks like a house entry. The downy
also carves out shallow holes near
his real nest as shelters in which.to,

INGENIOUS TREATMENT.
Curing Digestive Troubles by the
' 'Use of the Magnet. °
Among the latest of the mechani-
cal appliances to 'be harnessed to
the work of human healing is the
electro -magnet, which the physician
is likely to find of great value in the
treatment of certain bowel affec-
tions that have hitherto been found
very intractable, Dr. Payr, execs -
ding to a St. Petersbarg medical
journal, is the originator of the
idea.
-The .patient is required to take
first a quantity of water in which
much iron is suspended in fine par-
ticles, The latter is thus carried'to
every part of the digestive tract and
COM be acted upon by the magnet
at the will of the operting physi-
cian. In a ease of stricture of the
intestines, for instance, the iron
gradually settles at or near the
pbinb of obstruction. The same is
true where there are adhesions,
which have always given serious
perplexity to the surgeon.
The moment the magnet is. ap-
plied,:ehe iron is of course attract-
, ,
ed with considerable force, and
pushing against the interior wall of
the intestine, has a tendency to dis-
tend it. The operator is able to di
rect the "push" in the proper dii-ee-
tion. The effect being to dilate the
stricture or release the adhesion,
Dr. Payr points out that, by
means . of this simple 'mechanism,
the intestines may be exereise,d

theni and conducing to health said
long life in the patient. He has
found in his praetice that the whole
digestive system is to be very mater-
ially benefited by a, judicious appli-
oatidn of this treatment and feels
quite positive that in the eketre-
magnet he has hit upon n most effi-
cient aid in the treatment of the
whole. keg list, of gastro-intestinal

He was also a priest (see I Sam. 9

4. Here am I. -This. is a usual
greeting when a summons is obeyed.
It is used in responding to a call of
the Deity a,s well as to a call of
man. It means, ."Here I am. to
submit myself to your command"
(see Gen. 22. 1, 7, 11; 27. 1, 18).
There are many other such refer-
ences in the Old Testament.
5-9. The persistence with which
Samuel was called and tele() with
which he ran to Eli, thinking it was
Eli who called him, showed to the
aged prophet that Jehovah had a
message for the boy. One who had

had would. not mistak.e long the na-

-2f5).‘
He, however, did not remove them
from office, and, as they did not re-
pent, Eh, in effect, became respon-
sible for their wick-eclness.
19. Samuel grew. --(See 1 Sam. 2.
21, 26). This shows that he was
young. It is interesting to make
comparisons with this statement as
to how Samuel grew before Jeho-
vah, the statement made in Luke
(2. 52) as to how Jesus grew.
Let none of his words fall. -One
reason -why,Sameel grew when Tee
hovah. was with him was because he..
shaped his life so closely to the Will
of Jehovah.
20. From Dan even to Beer-
sheba. -This phrase appears first in
Judge 20. 1; again in 2 Sam. 17. 11;
24. 2. 15; 1 Kings 4. 25. Dan was
in the extreme north and Beer-
cheba was in the extreme south of
the border -0 of Israel, and the state-
ment is equivalent to our statement
"from Halifax to Vancouver," or
"front the Lakes to the Pacific,"
Not only distance, hovaever, was in-
dicated by the phrase; it had refer-
ence, also, to the. people. From
Dan to Beer-sleet:a meant "all
Israel." During the separation of
the kingdom the phrase was "from
Geba, to Beer-sheba (see 2 Kings
23. 8).
