H igh-Sounding Name»
It seems to be the practice for lead
ing towns or cities to adopt titles In
self-praise. The old Venetians used to
say, “See Venice and die,” and Rome
has always styled Itself the Eternal
city. Boston calls itself—the Ameri
can, not the English town—the Hub
of the Universe, whilst London has not
shrunk from calling Itself the Metrop
olis of the World. It is a moot point
whether Brighton or Scarborough wr~
first in the field with the subtitle
“Queen of Watering Places," but It Is
certain that both use it and believe
In its truth. Edinburgh styles itself
the Modern Athens, and Glasgow
boasts that it Is the second city of the
empire. Seville says that he who has
not seen Seville has seen no marvel.
Manchester calls Itself Cottonopolis,
and Liverpool the Gateway of the
West.
In Italy one of the most serious
crimes Is the stealing or unauthorized
excavation of antiquities. The gov
ernment claims as Its property all ob
jects of artistic or archeological In
terest over 100 years old, Hnd permits
for their exportation are obtained
only rarely and with difficulty.
Rights to excavate or even to study
while excavations are proceeding are
rarely granted to foreign students.
The other day some archeological
pickpockets who removed some an
cient vasei and marbles from tombs
that were being excavated near Co-
macchio were convicted in court. The
leader was sentenced to seven years
in prison—a punishment rare In Italy
for any crime less than murder.

Butterflies feed on the nectar of
flowers and the sap of trees and
plants. The various flowers, etc., vary
with those found In a locality. All
adult bees feed on saccharine Juices,
particularly the nectar of flowers. It
Is the habit of bees to devote their
searching to a single sort of flower as
long as It serves their purpose, each
individual visiting blossom after bloa-
sora of that kind, instead of searching
flowers indiscriminately. This varies
with the locality.

Bird» and Mankind
of Long Aaaociation
The association between certain
birds and man Is Immensely ancient,
says the London Times. As with
sheep and oxen and horses, and even
more with the dog, the attempt to as
sign a date to the origin of our farm
yard birds is foiled by the mists of
antiquity.
The scanty company of farmyard
species has been recruited in very dif
ferent ages. The turkey could not
Join us until we discovered America,
and probably far the oldest is the
rock-pigeon. When man learned how
to grow grain, the dove found a new
attraction In his company.
When man became a builder in
stone, he built also for the swallows
and doves. The swallow finds a
home today In the cowsheds that
mimic his ancient caves, while the
house-pigeon, like thq house-martin,
clings to the outside of nan's mimic
rock faces and builds Its nests on his
triumphal arches and against his ca
thedrals.
