THE 'CASSOWARY.'
A rseullar Blrd-That Flahes-Wlth lit
Faathsrs.
Hablta of the cormorant nud of the
flsh hawk nro generally known. Their
methods of taking fish are very much
like ithose of birds of prey. But tlio
cassowary fishes according to a meth
od of its own. A well known naturalist
witnessed Its operations on n river In
the Islander New. Uritnln.
He enwii cassowary come down to
tlio water's edge and stand for ho mo
minutes apparently watching tlio wa
ter carefully. It then stepped Into the
river whero It wns about three feet
dcepvnml, partially squatting down,
spread Its wings out, submerging
thouv the fenthers being spread and
ruffled.
Tho bird remained motionless and
kcptvlts eyes closed as If In sleep. It
remained In this position for a quarter
of an hour, when, suddenly closing Its
wings and straightening Its feathers, It
stepped out on tho bank. Hero It shook
Itsclf.sevcrnl times, whereupon n quan
tity of small (Ishcs fell out of Its wings
and from amid Its feathers. Theso tho
bird Immediately picked up nnd swnl
lowed. Tho fishes had evidently mistaken
tho feathers for a kind of weed that
grows In tho water along tho banks of
tho rivers In this Island nud which
much resembles tho fenlhtrs of tho
cassowary, r Tho smaller fishes hldo In
theso weeds to avoid (ho larger ones
that prey ou them. Exchango.
THE MOON.
Its Visual 8lze No Oraatar Whan It It
High Than Whtn It It Low.
Tho artist has to chooso between sci
entific truth and "convention" when
ho sets out to paint tho inooii, A three
penny piece fixed at n dlstnuco of nix
feet from tho cyo (say at tho end of n
horizontal six foot pole, tho other end
of which Is mado to press tho lower
edgo of tho eyo sockutl will just cover
tho disk of cither tho sun or tho moon
hanging In tho sky. It Is an nbsoluto
fact that this Is Iruo whether tho
moon (or tho sun) bo high In tho sky
or low down near tho horizon.
Tho real "visual si to" of the moon's
dlsk'ls no greater when It Is low than
when It Is high. No ono who rends
what I havo Just written will bcllnvu
me. . Kvcry ono thinks Hint ho knows
that tho disk of tho harvest moon or of
tho sotting sun occupies ,n larger npncu
In tho sky when low than when
high: Tlits Is duo to n Judgment ur
moutal process nud Is nu erroneous
ono. Tho eyo Is not nt fault, but tho
curiously untrustworthy inliiit Is.
What, then, Is (ho painter to do? IIo
yields lo prejudice nud often paints
tho low moon or low huh of n hIio
which compared with scientific fact Is
ridiculously exaggerated. Sir 13. Hay

Of a feeling of subservience, however,

mistakable nud unsclf conscious dignity
about him. IIo always walked up to

equality. No, this latent respect was n
natural response on the part of men of
low estate to good manners and oft

with tho most distinguished and best
families of Virginia represented tho
superior clahs. Moreover, that he was

Bernhardt strained every nerve to
catch what they wero complaining

with "Mntique," hut the rest of It was

Sarah, muttering things below her

for tho tiger's dally wants to the

rupees ho will not bo allowed another
victim for fivo days.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN

For many years eczema was sup.
posed to be a blood disease and wa
erroneously treated as such, but no
the best authorities agree that ccmbu
is only a skin disease, and must be
cured through tbe skin. The eminent
skin specialist, Dr. D, D. Dennis, first
discovered the eciema germ, and hla
discovery was quickly taken up In,
Germany and France.
To kill the eciema germ, and at the
tame time heal the skin, Dr. Dennis 1
compounded oil o( wintcrgreen, thymol 1
glycerine, etc. The remedy is a liquid;
not a mere salve, hence it sinks right 1
Into the pores of tbe skin. Washing .
with this oil of wintcrgreen compound
seems to take away tbe itch at once;
soon the scales drop away and the dis-
ease dissppears. The prescription haa .
now been used so long as to have provn
en Its absolute merit, and we do not -hesitate
to express our confidence la
