HIS RICHES TOOK WINGS.
13 Farmer's) Treasured Geeae Take a
Notion to Fly.
- A Pawtuxet valley farmer, whose
farm is near the village of Crompton,
had a literal exemplification a few
days ago of the old adage w hich says
that "Riches take unto ' therix-lves
wings and fly away," says the Provi
dence Journal. Something' over a year
ago he and his son fired at a flock of
wild geese that flew over his farm and
managed to bring down nearly, two
score of them. About 13 of the birds
were only wounded, and, surviving the
shooting, were so carefully kept that in
a year their captors had succeeded by
judicious breeding in increasing the
stock to over 70 geese and goslings.
They were kept, in a pen that was cov
ered with wire netting, and seemed to
have become thoroughly domesticated
and satisfied with their surroundings.
One day lately the farmer, wishing
to let them feast awhile on the tender
blades of grass that were sprouting in
an adjoining field, opened the coop aud
et the strange flock into tho pasture
Teen and new. And this is where he
nade a mistake. The half-wild ganders,
geese and goslings reveled for awhile
amid the verdant grass and new-found
reedom, but never made an effort to
rise above ruandane things, and tho
xperiment was voted; a success by the
wncrs ot tne flock. They con-gratuint-
ed themselves too soon, however,' fcr
later in the day there came winding
over the Coventry hills, high in air, a
snaky black line from which there
floated down inito thtut Crompton farm
er's pnsture the "hock, honk" of the
wild goose, a sound familiar to sports
men, which it seems the half-wild- geeso
in the verdant meadow also understood.
Without waiting to bid" their owner
goouV-by, with one accord the ganders,
geese and goslings arose on new-found
wings' to join their free fellows near the
clouds, and before the farmer knew
what had happened they were out of
gunshot, following the black trail to
ward the southeastern horizon.
JOBS OF CHEMISTS.
The Queer Claaa of Patrons lliat They
Have to Serve.
Chemists sometimes have queer ex
periences. The following facts, says
the Chicago Journal, were told by
a professor in one of the western
universities: "For about ten years
I have made a specialty of examining
and reporting upon cases of real or sus
pected poisoning. As a number of my
eases have been connected with murder
trials, I have had considerable notice
in the daily papers. This reputation
for making analyses for poisons "has
brought me a queer class of patrono.
"Every year I have one or more old
men come to me with samples of food
to be examined for poison. These men,
without exception, have married young
wives, end when the husband is taken
sick and does not recover as quickly as
be thinks he should, he begins to sus
pect that his young wife wants to get
rid of him, and is poisoning him grad
ually through the medium of his food.
Of course he does not want his wifefo
know of his suspicions, and he quietly
gets a sample of the food he suspects,
and at some unusual hour for work,
generally either early in the morning
or very late in the evening, he comes to
me and tells me very secretly that he
wishes to have an examination for poi
son made, . '
"Now, the odd part is that, though I
have made a number of such analyses,
I have never found poison present in
cny case. Then the husband is very
much afraid that his wife will find out
that he suspects her, and he gets out
of my laboratory in the quickest and
quietest manner possible. So everj'
year I expect to see some elderly ma::
coming apprehensively up my ciTicc
iBtairs with a well-concealed sample oT
food about him to (be examined for poi
son. Every year he ccrocs, every year
I make my analysis and find no poison,
and every year the old ge?:tlciiian get;:
information that he considers cheap at
the price.'"
Birds Strangely Conccnlucl.
Mr. A. H. Thayer; an artist, believes
he has discovered that the light color
of the under parts of birds and small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At a recent meeting of
the American Ornithologists' union he
proved by experiments that aiuobjeet
nearly of the color cf the ground, like
a potato, is very conspicuous when
placsd a few inches above the soil and
viewed from a little distance. But
when the . under side is painted white
and gradually shaded into the color of
the upper part, the object disappears
by blending with the ground; the
whiteness beneath counteracts the ef
fect of the shadow of the bod v.
