Petore "his BIRDS gr PA "PARADISE. Brilliant Plumes Adorn the Natives of ~~ New (uiinea. New Guinea is the home of a large 'percentage of the world's birds of 'paradise. The supply of these beautl- ful birds is fast failing. Not only do the women of Europe and America demand feathers for their bonnets, but the natlves of New Guinea and sur rounding islands. make lavish use of the plumage as head dresses. Some precautions fire how taken to prevent visitors to New Guinea from killing the "most beautiful birds in the "world," but the natives are left alone, and they continue to deck themselves out in capes and headpieces more gor- geous than any seen on our stage beauties or the wives of our miillion- aires. "In New Guinea it is the man who affects birds of paradise decorations. The women, like the female bird of paradise, are inconspicuous in dull colors. To obtain the much prized feathers the New Guinea natives set out for the forest, knowing that the bird of paradise seeks to conceal his rainbow Jara in the dense foliage of the trees, If they can find no haunt of the de- sired birds they start calling in excel- lent imitation of the shrill, ugly ery of the bird of paradise to its mate. This ruse is usually successful, and a bird shows itself only to be snared or shot down with arrows. In mating season the male bird dances before the female he desires as a mate to' display' his beautiful feathers, and at such a time so ab- gorbed are the birds in their own af- 'fairs that large numbers are takén easily by the wily natives. ee pees Muscles or Brains? A cartoon in a city paper repre- sents a slendor, intellectual looking young man as applying for employ- ment at a factory office and asking about the rate of pay.

In the same paper' appear, side by side in the "Help Wanted" columns, two notices, one offering $18 a week for a "bookkeeper with long, experi: ence," 'and the other offering $28 for a bootblack, These facts might be duplicated al- most anywhere.

This suite is in the derful panorama of the great river-and of the blue Laurentian Mountains. The cen! room, named after Mont- calm and used as the sitting room, has among other curious furniture of two hundred years ago, a table and chair of rough design made by sol- diers who served under General Mont: calm in the Sfege of Quebec in 1769, and actually used by the General up to the date of his last fatal battle with the troops eof General Wolfe. The writing desk in the same room was formerly am altar in the old Ursuline Chapel, while the antique Grand- father's Clock uséd to figure out the hours and minutes in the Old Jesuit School. The habitants, or peasant proprietors of French Canada, are fampus for their skill in handicraft, particularly weaving. The floor-cover- ing used in these rooms is a specimen of this habitant handicraft, known as "catalogne," a washable material of fast dyes. The two adjoining rooms, one "on , | each side, are used as bedrooms, and except for the private bathrooms which have been bullt in to meet with the requirements of modern habit, are faithful replicas of rooms in the seig- norial Chateau of Old French Canada. The four poster beds, chairs, fire irons, crockery and charcoal burners are actual antiques. Here can be seen the old warming pan of the pre-radia- tor days and the old pipe lighters of the days before matches were invent. ed. The old fashioned open hearth with its bellows standing by and the family kettle give their 'welcome and tell their tale of hospitable byegone days. - On the walls hang old prints and priceless tapestries. ---- gi RINGS AROUND THE SUN, ~ In Many Cases Followed by Rain Within 36 Hours. | Rings around the sun or moon are properly called halds. They may be defined as somewhat complicated ar- rangements of arcs and circles of light surrounding the sun or the moon accompanied by others tangent to or intersecting ; them, with spots of special brightnes8 called parhelia ap- pearing at the points of tangency and intersection. Parhelia are most often observed about sunrise or sunset, fre- quently when the intersecting arcs are themselves invisible, except at the points of Intersection. In order of frequency halos average about 22 de- grees, 46 degrees, or 90 degrees in radius, but on rare occasions other sizes have been observed. Halos are observed only when there is present in the higher atmosphere a cloud sheet 'which meteorologists term cirro-stratus. The floating par- ticles forming this cloud sheet are ice crystals, as the cloud is always above the plane of permanent freezing tem- peratures. Those are the highest clouds known, the average height be- ing five to six miles. When the sun or the moon i8 observed through such a cloud sheet, refraction and reflec- tion of some of the sun's rays by the fce crystals produce rings in which the colors when visible aye invariably arranged with the red on the inside of the arcs. Halos are good weather signs. Many weather proverbs based upon the ob- servation of halos are founded upon sound scientific principles. Studies of the relation of halos to/raintall show that during the summer months 56 to 60 per cent. of-all halos are followed by rain within 36 hours. During the | winter months 70 to 78 per cent. are 80 followed. k | ----e Lost and Found and Lost Again.
