EE iL C— Bellefonte, DEATH VALLEY. The Burning, Blasting Winds That Sweep This Arid Waste. The prevailing winds in Death val ley are from the west. Though origi- nating in the Pacific ocean and sat- urated with humidity in traveling the intermediate distance, they are inter- cepted by the lofty peaks of four ranges of mountains, which absorb all of their moisture, so that by the time they reach the valley all humidity has disappeared. ‘The blasts are as if heated in a fiery furnace, and no liv- ing thing can survive the intense heat, Even birds indigenous to the region die, It is in the months of greatest heat that the sandstorms of Death valley are most deadly. They rage with in- tense fury, obliterating the landscape and dimming the light of the sun, withering the scanty vegetation and covering the trails deep in powdered dust. At all times the aspect of the valley is superlatively desolate, No spot on earth surpasses it in aridity or Tophet-like heat. During the heated term without water means death.

As he grows old a lion gets lazy and spiritless, says Everybody's. The haughty beast that stares at the crowd outside his canoe uspally is as fierce of spirit as a fat night watchman who blinks out upon the dark world through the circle of light cast by the lamp at his foet, With plenty» to eat, nothing to annoy him and 2 keeper to look after his cage, the king of beasts becomes as peaceful, portly and self satisfied as some of our latter day human mon- archs, whose ministers of army, navy, state and other things take proper care of the regal edge and see to it that the usual three square meals per day await the royal gullet at the prop- er hours. The story book Impression that lions are always on the hunt in their native jungle is quite at variance with the truth. indeed, the older lions will fre- quenily go hungry or seek the leavings of another beast’s kill rather than summon the energy to hunt prey for themselves. In a group of ten or twelve trained lions two or three young, nervous ani- mals usually supply the act with all its dash and spirit. The others are | sommambulists an hour !

Paul Waireman'’s “A Summer Tour In Finland” contains this pretty bit of folklore: “Midsummer is the great nn- nual festival of Finland.

A Mohammedan people enjoy one great advantage over all others—they never suffer from the anticipation of that which is to come, and, as a natu- ral result, they can always enjoy the present, although only a few hours may separate them from disaster or even from death. Their implicit be- lef in an ordained future imparts a dignifad repose and outward calm to all their actions. Thus, in spite of the trials and troubles which threatened the state during my stay at Fez, a smooth surface of unchangeable seren- ity veiled the inner thoughts of every individual, from the sultan to the ne- gro at his gates.—Blackwood Magazine London Street Noises. A hundred years or £0 ago no pun- ishment could have been worse than that of subjecting the victim to the inferno of modern London noises if they had then existed.

The swifts arrive in the Andaman is- lands toward thé end of November. but they take their time in building the nests, which are formed from a gelatinous secretion from the salivary glands of those beautiful members of the swallow tribe. If there has been a wet December, the first crop of nests is generally a poor one, being soiled by the damp and drippings. from the roofs of the caves. Collectors, however, be- gin in January to go around the island to the diTerent caves in an open boat. The best quality resemble pure isin glass and are worth their weight in silver.
