ARIZONA ROAD RUNNER.
Hats
A Ooelabl. Dlrd Thai ti (laid to

The road runner Is one of Arltonn's
dtstlnctlro ornithological Institution.
It U ft long legged, long billed bird,
lender of build mid stnndlng some
ten Inches high. It la not of ton seen
In the farming districts, but Is n fa
miliar sight on the desert.
It baa gained (be name of road run
ner from Ha habit of inking the rond
In front of traveler bo they ou horse
back or wheeled conveyance, and run
ning awlftly or slowly, as occasion re
quires, showing off Its neighborly spir
it and running qualities. It Is not un
common for It to keep In company of
the- traveler for several hundred yards
No resident of Arlzonn would kill n
road runner. It Is firmly lellcvrd that
tba bird is the deadly enemy of that
monster of the desert, the mttlenike
We don't know whether nny of mn
reader ever saw n rond runner kill a
rattlesnake. If thero Is an authentic
torjr of such a thing wo would be
glad to publish It Hut the accepted
tradition Is that the road runner and
tho rattlesnake are deadly enemies
and that the rattlesnake fears the
road runner beyond anything elc.
It U told that the bird drives the
snake Into a coll and then, darting
round the serpent tike lightning
pecks It to death. Whatever truth
there may be In the stories of the
road runner's accomplishments as n

friendly protection It receives. Its
quaint sociability Is always n diver

Th Qrstn Flash of Sunist.
One of the most rarely witnessed of
natural phenomena, but one that has
often been discussed at selenitic meet
ings nnd that always awakens wonder
when seen, is the so called "green
flash" occasionally visible at the mo
ment of the disappearance of the sun
behind n clear horizon. The otwerver's
eye must be fixed upon the rim of the
sun ns it disappears In order to catch
tho phenomenon. One authority tells
us that he has seen the green flash.
although rarely, at the Instnnt of the
setting of a bright star. Among the
explnnntlons offered Is one based upon
the optical principle of complementary
colors. If one looks nt the sun and
then clones the eyes a green disk will
be perceived. A sensitive eye might
be similarly affected by a brilliant star.

A Joke Which Is an Important Factor
in Everyday Life.
Some great philosopher ha said "A
little nonsense now ami then it relished
by the bcit of men." He might have
added, rellthed by fools, also.
The most comical thing In human af
fairs is the importance of the unimpor
tant. When one comes to realize that
more than 90 per cent of all energy in
nature, including humanity of course,
is wanton waste he can see the joke of
Napoleon's in sending the city boys
back to Paris to save their beauty and
replacing them behind the guns with
his grenadiers. That was simply, In
other words, sending them to the can
teen after a "bucket of reveille," or to
the Adjutant to get the "key to the
parade ground," identical with the me
chanic's joke about the "left handed
monkey-wrench," or the "type lice,"
discovered by the "printer's dcil."
All trsdes and professions have their
nonsense and otherwise; the former, for
diversion, is just as essential as the lat
ter. But. In constructing the Tower of
Bable the sophistry became a conciete
proposition and they had to abandon the
works, because "Order is the first law of
Heaven."
The newspaper composing-room has
doubtless the most logics) and refined
nonsense of any vocation, which Is va
