Th« Harpy Eagla. tha Aye-ay» and tha
Tasmania Devil.
■fke world has been so thoroughly
uAored that one might imagine it
¡¿oaslble that any noteworthy ape-
J, uf mammal or bird could still re
Lain unknown. Yet every now and
something new turns up. For ex
ample. it was "ot 80 very lon« ttgo that
acquaintance was made with
ike barpy eagle, a fowl native to the
region of the Amazon, which feeds
rlrlefly on monkeys. Another curiosity
sot long known is tbe aye-aye of Mad-
•ascar, a mammal which has one fln
"er of ™'b ,ian‘* ino8t curlous|y akel
etonUvd and elongated for the purpose
of dragging from their burrows the
earthworms on which it feeds. As is
well known. It is from Australia aud
Zealand that come the flightless
iilrds. some ut which readily breed In
captivity.
Tbe fur seal rebels in captivity.
Tbe «eale which one sees captive and
which do «uch Intelligent tricks are
Irair seals, belonging to quite a differ
ent ipecies. So opposed is the fur seal
to tbe very notion of deprivation of
lllierty that it will Invariably starve
ltw|f to death rather than submit to
such a condition. Likewise it is with
tbe Tasmanian devil, a queer little
marsupial about two feet long, some
what resembling in appearance a baby
hear, which Is found only in Tasmania,
i large Island formerly known as Van
Diemen's Land, to the south of Aus
tralia. it is almost incredibly fero-
floua. preying upon the sheep and poul
try of the farmers, and never yet,
though captured in earliest infancy,
has It responded to kindness by manl-
festlng an amiable disposition.—Phila
delphia Ledger.
TALL AFRICAN GRASS.
Btiutiful Scenes at Night on tha Veldt
When Fire Spreads.
fnlike a good deal of South Africa,
Rhodesia Is largely wooded. In some
places the forests are of value, but a
Urge proportion is not valued for Its
timber. The grass In this part of
Africa grows to a phenomenal height
I d the valleys, and especially in the
valleys of the Sabi and Zambezi rivers
It reaches its greatest height. To say
that tbs grass is often twelve feet high
1> no exaggeration. Naturally It Is
very easy to lose one’s way in this
gran If one Is unfortunate enough to
itray from the beaten track. It is the
custom there to burn this grass off
each year when It gets dry. This Is
usually In August and September or
rren la October. Fires burn for miles,
indas the country Is largely a wilder
ness little damage is done by this
method of destroying the grass. It Is
i beautiful sight at night in the Are
■etaon to see the bills for miles around
encircled with flames.
After the grass has been burned the
nloy season usually begins, and it Is
ta that the country is at its prettiest,
ft grass Is then green, and the foli
age on the trees Is beautiful. The old
lures drop off gradually, and the new
ones take their place before the trees
ire bare. The new leaves are of all
ibides of the rainbow, and it is much
like the fall scenery In this country
’ben the dead leaves are falling from
the trees. Waterfalls are numerous in
tbe mountains, and there are many of
great height, although the rivers are
Wally small in volume.—Springfield

A Bobolink With • Canary Song.
A friend of mine tells of a bolx.llnk
which learned to sing like a canary
He was captured when quite small
and given a cage beside a fine singer,
for which he soon exhibited a great
attachment. He would sit perfectly
still on bls perch for a long time
watching his friend Intently, then try
his best to Imitate bls sweet notes. He
tried for three or four weeks before
making any progress; then he succeed
ed In sounding one note almost cor
rectly. When he realized bls success
his wild Joy was pathetic, and the
canary’s pleasure was very evident.
Then he redoubled bls efforts until he
could sing nearly the whole canary
song. After that be and Dick always
sang in concert. But. strangest of all,
bls character seemed to change with
his song. Instead of singing but a
short time iu the spring, as bobolinks
do, he sang all the time except when
meriting. And be imitated his friend's
characteristics so perfectly that be be
came a canary tn all but appearance.—

TOO COMPLICATED.
The Reason We Say “You" instead of
Using “Thou.”
The reason commonly given for the
substitution of the secoud person
plural for the second person singular,
"you" instead of “tbou’-that It origi
nated as a fad of courtesy—may ex
plain Its origin, but its universal adop
tion Is due to a deeper reason—namely,
that the second person singular of the
verb is a complicated and difficult
form, while the second person plural
is simple to tbe last degree.
With every principal verb in the lau
guage and with every auxiliary except
“must" the pronoun “thou" requires a
special change in tbe form of tbe verb,
which is often the only break in an I
otherwise uniform series. Thus in the
present tense ot every verb, with the
single exception of the verb “be.” the
pronoun "you" employs tbe unchanged
root form of the verb, as “you love,
have, can do, shall, will." etc., while
“thou" requires a change of form, as
“tbou lovest, hast, canst, dost, shalt.
wilt.” etc.
In every such choice the unchanged
root form has always the right of way.
Thus “you” has become everywhere
current in the busy activities of life,
while “thou” is carefully laid up in
the museum of antiquity or tbe shrine
of religion.—.lames C. Fernaid in Har
per’s Magazine.
