four nights to travel through it. All
the first day the hunter Solloveed the
trail of the deer, but his swift arrows
brought him no game. At sunset a
storm came roaring through the for-
est; there was thunder and rain, and
all the trees swayed and twisted in
the wild wind.
A tall pine tree 'came crashing to
• earth and pinned the hunter beneath
it. He was not hurt, but he was a
prieoner; in spite of his strugglets he
could not free himself.
• Three times the sun rose and set,
and still ,the hunter could net get free.
He had no food and no water and
grew very weak and faint.
On the third day three of the Little
Brothers of the Wood, a squirrel, a
rabbit paid a chipmunk, found him.
They loved the hunter, for he had al-
ways been kind to them.
"Let us help you, brave hunter,"
they said. But they were too smal
to lift the tree, and at first it seem-
ed as if they earild do nothing for
hi.
Then they went in haste and called
all the other Little Brothers of the
Wood in council. Said the oldest and

from free-swimming larvm and at-
taches itself to rocks or timbers,
which it never leaves again unless

There prevailed during the Middle
Ages a curious superstition that tlae
barnacle was the egg of a migratory
geese, tbe eggs being attantied to the
branches of trees that overbung the
water. Not until it was fomid that
the bird had its nesting place in the
Arctic regions and came south during
the polar winter was this fiction dis-
proved. But the bird is still blown
as the barnacle goose.
There are several species of this
strange little crlstacean, but the sort
that gives the shipowner the greatest
trouble le the species that fastens it-
self by a flexible stem to the bottoms
of vessels in large clusters and neces-
sitates the ship being taken to dry dock

About the mast stziking description
of a barnacle to be found anywhere
is that of Huxley: "A barnacle may be
said to be a crustacean fixed by its

mouth by its lege."
Barnacles belong to that class a
crustaceans that includes lobsters and
crabs', constituting tete order of Cie-

Barnacles are hatched from eggs; the•

stage of development it eases its rav-

comes a metamorphosis. It loses its

Biggest Snakes in the
World.
It would be unpleasant, to meet a
snake twenty-five feet long and
weighlug 200 pounds. A. serpent of
this size has been obtained by the zoo
at Washington, where it will be made
to feel as much at home as possible
In a large glass cage with a pool of
water at one end.
This interesting serpent is a "regal,"
or reticulated, python and; needless to
say, was not captured, in any Ameri-
can country. There are no such giant
snakes in the New World.
The pythons are native to the is-
lands of the Malta.y Archipelago, where
they are commonly known as "rice
snakes" because they are often found
in rice fields, which are overflowed at
intervals. They are fond of water and
do useful service as seavengers ef
swamps.
The regal python is the biggest of
all snakes, attaining a length of thirty
feet and a diameter of a foot. It is
not venomous, but it can inflict fright-
ful bites, and a full-grown specimen
has been known to swallow a twelve-
year -old boy whole.
All the giant eerpents, including the
anacondas and the pythons, belong to
the family af the boas, an.d all of them
are constrictors. Tb.e "bo, ocenstrict-
or" is the biggest of a number of

Fidget Facts.
Eyes, ears, noses, hands, and much
else, have been pressed into service
as indications of temperament and
character; but it is claimed that more
can be learnt from a person's "fidgets"
than anything else..
The man who fidgets with his feet,
tapping them on the floor, and swing-
ing them to and fro when seated, is of
quick, hasty temper, with good men-
tal ability, but unstable in his ambi-
'lions. He won't make a good husband
and the domestic hearth will not ap-
peal to him. He will be generous,
though*.
A man who fidgets When seated as
though the chair were most uncom-
fortable will, as a rule, have rausical
gifts. He will he trustworthy, popular,
and kind-hearteddbut pessimistic. His
life well net be a success from a m.one-
tai7 point of view. He will be seme-
what of 'a trial as a husband.
A. man who fidgets with has head,
twisting it about, and rubbing or
seratching it with his finger-tips, will
get en in the world, but will not be
popular. He will be selfish and cruel.
This type of 'fidget' has no capacity
for sustained affection for anyone.
The "Anger fidget" is af nervous
temperament, and very sensitive. He
will be scrupulously honest, but de-
void of all ambition. He won't make
many friends, and his mental calibre
will not be very great.
Generally a ndgetter is better than
nonfldgetter. The man who has con
trol over himself has, strange though
or a boa constrictor, your only hope it may - seem, few desirable qualities,
is to grab it by the throat and try to altheugh he may make his mark in

Apparently the porkers bad no great
fancy for flying for throughout the
journey the pilot heard grunts and

things that travel by air seem dull,
prosaic and far reraoved from the ro
mance of flying.
Who would think of tinned rabbit or
vaseline as he observes a machine
passing gracefully overhead? Few,
again, think of a cargo of handbags,
shirts, or gold watches., and only the
minds of the thirsty turn to oases of
rum or whiskey. I3ut such things are
carried by aeroplanes every day.
