Male Ptarmigans Woo In Two Tongu.. °n eir more Browne, who contributes an ar ticle on Alaskan game to Outing, is to be believed. To begin with, the author flnds that the ptarmigan is a linguist of no mean ability. The male does his wooing in mixed French and English: "A pleasing side of their mating is the habit of the males of uttering their call while on the wing. Tbey com mence with a guttural cackle, which they utter faster and faster until tbey alight, when they end their song by repeating slowly a call that sounds like ged-up, ged-up, ged-up. ged-up or parlez vous? parlez vous? parlez vous? as they strut proudly about" In addition to singing in two lan guages, the ptarmigan conducts his personal and domestic affairs in ap proved fashion. Could not the follow ing observation apply to human beings as well as to this remarkable bird: "The males fight constantly, and the hens seem to enjoy these battles and sit about clucking among themselves.

"When I got the order to design a big wholesale bouse for a firm that has stores in six cities I was elated," said an architect.

"Well, I did turn out a splendid store, a store that was admired by everybody In the wholesale trade.

Melland and E. H. Cholmeley, the authors of "Through the Heart of Africa." saw a phenomenon which, al though common on the lakes of central Africa, seems rare enough. The chief engineer on coming down Inte to luncheon told us that he bad seen a waterspout near by. As we had finished our meal we hurried up uu deck to get a glimpse of it. Wo saw near the southern horizon a gray smoke-like column arising from the surface of the lake and expanding into what looked like a cloud above. Thinking that it must be the engineer's waterspout, we approached Captain Gray and Mr. Akeley, who were also Intently observing it. and asked them If we were right in our conjecture. "Waterspout!" said the skipper, with a smile. "Flies." "Flies?" Ave repeated and turned to Mr. Akeley in the hope of getting from him a more intelligible explanation. "Quite true." he tid. "Flies. You've seen the lake fly before?" "No." we retorted, "we haven't, and we didn't know that it flew." Assuring us that neither he nor the skipper had any intention of deceiving us, Mr. Akeley .explained that he re ferred to the insect known as the "lake fly" and not to any spasmodic fri volity on the part of the waters of Victoria Nyanza. The apparent water spout was nothing more or less than a huge cloud composed of myriads of tiny flies. They sometimes rise from Uie surface of the lake such dense o1umns as to obscure the light of the sun like a pillar of smoke. TRICKS OF LIGHT. Why People 8om«timaa F««l Dull or Uncomfortable at Tablo. How few people realize that they are actually suffering from snow blind ness in miniature every time they read or work over a white surface on which a brilliant light shines directly. Half tone paper, for instance, which Is the common medium for the majority of books we read, will throw a blind ing glare into the eye of the reader if the light strikes it at the wrong angle, and it forms an excellent test for the selection of proper lighting for a room and for the placing of the lighting fix* tures. for lighting diffusion should be such as to allow comfortable reading from half tone paper in any position. A dome banging above a dining table on which is white cloth causes the light to reflect into the eyes of those around the table at an angle that pro duces muscular strain. This has a peculiar effect upon the senses, and drowsiness and mental inertia are apt to result. People are apt to complain of a feeling of dullness at table or that they have indigestion when it is. in reality, the effect of the light. A too brilliant light shining directly iuto the eye plays many curious psy chological tricks. Deaf people, for In stance. cannot hear so well if they are facing a brilliantly lighted room, and, as for being able to see better by a bright light than by a dim one. ex actly the reverse is the case, for de tail of objects become practically lost to the eye when too much light enters it.—Suburban Life Magazine.
