Tire Farmer's Worst Enemy Immense pains have been taken to and out exactly what amount of fish each sort of British gull eats, and how much in each case consists of the kinds of fish that man eats. It has been found that tate guillemot is the worst offender, 51.43 per cent,. of its food consisting of food fishes. •The razorbill comes next; while the com- mon gull eats ,poly 6.16 per cent, of the same sort of ash that human beings can eat. Naturalists have analyzed and count- ed the contents of the crops of num- berless birds, and so proved that the wood -pigeon is the English farmer's worst enemy, ;eight hundred grains et wheat were found in the crop of one bird. By watching a pair of spotted fly- catchers for sixteen hours on end, a naturalist was able to prove that a family of these invaluable birds con- sume just over 16,000 insects per week. Russians Die Earlier We have recently had a census, Man is, of course, man's principal study, and the facts revealed by censuses are extraordinarily interesting. For lo- atence,.we learn that the average age ot French people is thirty-two and a half years, while that of the people of the United States is only tweutY- five. France has 126 persona in each thousand over sixty years of age, but Russia only. forty-six.

Paris Suburbs Grow Parts -Paris suburbs are growing rapidly, the recent census shows, while the city itself expands more slowly. The explanation lies la the housing problem and in suburban 'communications. In 1926 the census showed an In- crease of 220,000 inhabitants In the suburban districts of the Depart- ment of the Seine, while the popula- tion of Paris itself decreased by 27,: 000. Since then Paris has annexed the outer zone, where tate old forti- fications stood, with a population of 40,000, and apartment buildings have been built within the city limits ac- commodating 39,000. Notwithstanding this increase, the total gain in the 1931 census was 20,- 000 for -the city, while the popula- tion or the Seine Department was augmented by 280,000. Migration of the Paris population to better quar- tet's In the suburbs has been made possible by improved transit facili- ties, Our Favorite Names Botanists are. fond of figures, and have told us that a bushel of wheat contains 656,000 grains, a bushel of. rye 888,000, but it must leave taken much patience to prove that there are no fewer than 16,400,000 seeds in a bushel Of clover.

The Fear of the Serpent The abject fear of the Egyptians for the serpent seems to have been con- ,Stant in all generations and many prayers were said to deliver the hu- man dead from the "Serpents which are in the Underworld, which lie up- on the bodies of men and women and consume their blood." The Egyptian so coveted the power of the serpent that he learned those prapers which were most certain to bring itim its powers after death, When his soul wan- dered about the earth: "I am the ser- turn lasting as long as marbles are Dent Sate whose Years are many: I successfully hit out or until :his "1m - Ole and I am born again each day.
