The Mexican blue quail Is a rare fowl and this pair had been cap tured after a six months' search. There was no suitable place for them at the park aviary and they were placed in an empty compartment of the big cage in which the eagles and owls are kept.

Upon all passports and bank receipts for de posits the imprint of the thumb must be made at the time of delivery. In Roumania. since 1903, the thumb print has been substituted for the cross made instead of signature by persons who cannot write. In the Philippine islands those who cannot write are not obliged to be identified by witnesses at savings banks, but merely have to make the!r mark with their thumb. The same system has been used in the banks of Bengal for fifty years. In France, to put an end to the fraud of enlistment, desertion and re-enlistment for the bounty paid in the Foreign Legion, every man's fin ger prints are taken and kept on file. BEETLES GROW MUSHROOMS Scientists have known of mush room growing ants for a long time, and it was generally believed that the ant was the only insect possessing sufficient intelligence to make a suc cessful mushroom farmer. Prof. J. Plouverle, the French entomologist, has found that a certain wood boring beetle known as the Bostrychide is as familiar with mushroom cultivation for home consumption as the ant. Professor Bouverie discovered that the beetles bore holes in wood and half fill them with a prepared fungus, which makes an ideal mushroom bed. The garden is carefully spawned and tended, and in course of time the mushrooms appear. In this way the beetle provides itself with a food suffi ciently tender for its feeble jaws. THEY LIVE LIKE APES As a model example of an abso lutely primitive race of people, Prof. W. Volzs, of Breslau university, has 1 brought to notice the Kubus, who are I completely isolated in the forest in terior of Sumatra. They share the life and habits of the apes living in I the same forest. They do not seem 1 to have advanced even to the hunting I stage of development, and are not I known to have any ideas on religion, even the most primitive. Frozen Arch of Labrador ......... One of the sights of the winter, seen, however, by few persons, was a rmnster iceberg outside Battle Harbor, Labrador.

BIG RETURN FROM DOLLAR For a dollar given to a stranger eight years ago Joseph Clair, a Phila delphia druggist, may receive an es tate of over $125,00U. Eight years ago a man who was evidently sufferim; from the effects of the night before came into the drug store and tool Clair that he was up against it. had spent his last cent and needed enough to get a bite to eat. HIe asked for a quarter. After a short ta!l C(lair gave the man a dollar and the strangeCr delart ed with the remark: "You'll never re gret this, young man. It will be rich ly repaid." Clair forgot the incident. Five years ago the man again came into the store and recalling the dollar loan made the druggist a present of a hand some gold-headed cane. Clair did not forget the matter so quickly then, but he was thoroughly surprised a few days ago when he received a letter from a rirm of lawyers in Rockdale, Wyo., saying that Joseph Waters, a wealthy rancher near that city, had left his entire property, valued at over $125,000, to him. TRAVELER'S MISTAKE' Will Chinese customs and traditons change with the new regime? If they do travel in the Celestial empire will be deprived of much of its pleasures. which are sometimes attended with excitement, not to say danger. Two Englishmen traveling in Ning-Po on a visit to a Chinese official during the autumn had, to say the least, a divert ing time. They were being carried In sedan chairs, and feeling the atmos phere oppressive asked the bearers to give them a little fresh air by opening the roof. The men met the request with stolid indifference, so the travel. ers decided to open the roof them selves. As they approached the city they found that they were the objects of considerable attention. A crowd of 500 surrounded the chairs, and soon it increased to 2,000, the people uttering menacing cries. Happily nothing worse happened. When they reached their destination their host received them with astonishment. "Good gra. cious," said he, "what have you done! Only condemned criminals here travel in an open chair!" FREAKISH AMERICAN BOA" This photograph depicts one of the most curious boats that has ever rid den the waters. It is the invention of a retired captain of thc American navy, who claims that it possesses all sorts of remarkable advantages over the ordinary screw-propelled vessel. The boat suggests a steam-roller or a couple of tool-sheds and a pair of gar den-rollers, and although it presents a somewhat ungainly picture it does efL fectually what is claimed for it.
