RUNS A MOUSE FARM.
A Washington (D. C.) Woman Em.
barks in Business of Breeding
Fancy Rodents for Profit,

Breeding white, piebald, black, and
Japanese mice is the latest househol!
industry which is receiving attention.
A woman living on the northern out:
skirts of the city, says the Washington
Post, has embarked in the business
quite extensively. The mice sell whole-
sale at the rate of $10 per 100, and reg-
ularly, once every week, she delivers
80 of them to the leading bird and ani-
mal dealer, who sends them out to his
customers In this and other cities. In
this way she earns $5 every week, and
$21 and $22 per week from the oth-
er sales of her mice. It would be hard
to imagine easier money than the $5
which she "receives weekly for her
“dwarf cattle.” The rearing of fancy
mice involves little or no work, and
the proceeds are for the most part pure
gain. She has at her home part of a
large room partitioned off, and the
floor eevered with straw and earth.
This I8 her mouse farm. It must be
cleaned now and then and new straw
and earth put in for the mice, but aside
from this her only care is to feed them
twice per day and keep their basin full
of fresh water. The mice increase at
such a rapid rate that by selling 50 ev-
ery week she 1s able to keep the num-
ber down to about the original limits.

If the new moon appears with its

Traveler Diséovers Strange Species
of Fish in Jaunt Through Gua-
temala—Other Instances.

{ Marcellin Pellet, a traveler who has
=
cently returned from Gautemala, dv-
scribes a curious species of fish, the Pa
ellla dorri, which he found in the hoilin
lake of Ammatitlan, says London An
swers. It passes its days literally “in
continual hot water.” So hot is the
water of this lake, it is said, that to
thrust one’s hand {nto it means scalded
fingers. Ebullition is, however, some-
what tempered, as the really boiling
water rises to the surface, leaving a
temperature of 35 degrees cent. at the
‘fevel where the fish is found, which ls
even then excedingly warm {or cold-
blooded creatures like fish,
Frank Buckland states in one of his
works that the naturalist, Broussonet,
found by experiments that some fresh
water fish would live for several days in
water so hot that a human being could
not keep his hand in it for a minute.
De Saussure, the Swiss scientist, dis-
covered living eels in the hot springs of
Aix, the temperature of which averages
113 degrees Fahrenheit. Humboldt alsc

The Big Birds Greet Each Other by
Clapping Their Long Bills
Together Noisily.

Storks are not often seen on the
American continent, but are common-
ly found in nearly all the countries of
Europe. In Holland, where they are
particularly numerous and are pro.
tected by law, their nests are general-
ly on the summit of a tall post, put
up on purpose for them, on which is
fixed an old cart wheel. A Dutch gen-
tleman has one such post in his
grounds within sight of his library
window, but he improves on the cart
wheel by having an iron framework
for the reception of the nest. The first
year it was put up, toward the end
of June, a solitary young stork used
to come daily and inspect this frame-
work. He was seen there one day
standing in an empty receptacle ex-
actly like a would-be benedict inspect-
ing an empty house, contemplating the
view and wondering if the drains are
all right.
The verdict was apparently favor:
able, for next season saw the nest oec-
cupied by the newly-wedded pair
Their power of wing is very fine, and
en hot days they ascend in spirai eircles,
hardly moving their broad, black
wings, till they look no bigger then
flies. After the young are hatched
they appear to be suspicious of one
another, and unwilling to leave the
nest unguarded.
Storks have no voice. The only
noise they make {is “klappering”
(snapping their great red mandibles
rapidly and loudly). Thus they greet
one another, generally by throwing
back the head until the upper mandi-
ble rests on the back, but occasionally
“klappering” is performed with the
head and bill in the former position.
ROBBER BEES DESPOIL HIVES
Organize Railds to Descend Upom
Their More Industrious Neighbors
for Winter's Supply of Honey.

To the person who knows nothing
about bees they represent the supreme
type of industry, says the London
Chronicle. But even the bee commu-
nities are disturbed by those of their
own kind who break through and steal.
Robber bees are always a source of
anxiety to beekeepers, and in the au-
tumn the marauders seem particular
ly active."
Having gathered no honey, or, at
any rate, an insufficieng supply for
themselves, they descend upon a hive,
lll its industrious occupants and
carry off the golden treasure in an
astonishingly short space of time. We
know of a recent instance in which the
attack was developed and the home
bees killed in a couple of hours. Some-
times a hive will attack neighboring
hive. In such cases the old straw
“gkip” was better than the modern
arrangement, for a knjfe thrust
through the top would break the comb
and set the honey free, at which the
thieves would instantly return to seal
up their own store. It is not primar-
ily in their industry that bees are
human.
BRAIN VERSUS BRAWN.
Chicago Professor Takes Issue with
Those Who Talk Apout Race
Suicide—~His Views.

Prof. Wilbur Jackson, dean of the
school of education, Chicago universi-
ty, believes that quality of population
1s more important than quantity, says
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
In a recent address he said: “Thy
higbest evolution is in quality, not
quantity. I am not particularly dis.
turbed by the hysteria of our strenu.
ous friends regarding race suicide. In
the course of evolution I believe that
the race has passed beyond the stage
of the rabbit and the rat.”
The good sense of this is in marked
contrast to much of the rhetoric on the
subject.
When the country {s new and sparsely
settled brawn is wanted in large quane
tities to fell forests, clear land for agri
culture and expel the wild beasts of the
wilderness. When the country fills up
and the problems of soclety press for
solution brain of good quality is most
in request.
The problems of civilization are com.
plicated anc intellect of rare quality ls
needed. If quantity is not so much in
avidence in families, we have reason te
hope that quality is not absent,
