The Kiwi has nostrils at the end oi l!5 long -beak with which it sruells for worms in the ground. All animals that get their food izom, or just below the earth's su: ce have the nostrils at the ml of the snout. and enormous olfactory bulbs at the forepart of the brain to receive the mesages carried by the nose.
The majority of small birds die naiuraliy and peacefully, and most of them die in their sleep.
it is interesting to note that old bhxzd seals and buffaloes. which. ;n. spite of their infirmities, lead the herds till their dying day. But 1'1 most cases, death has a. tragic ending for animals. Like man. the brutes strive with all their power to avoid death, but fail a victim to in power in the end.
The arctic tern travels from pole '0 pole twice each year. thus mak- ing it the greatest bird traveller in the world.
I did a little research on death and sleep and came up with thlsz. There's only one chance in a hun- d:ed you will commit suicide; about half the people in the world have in count at least a few sheep before they fall asleep, or fake a sedative to lull them into ths,le.rid oi slumber..w r ' i

one July night 21 years ago s flash of lightning singled out and demolished the tombsstone of a former Canadian soldier. Major Sumerford. in a emetery in Van- couver, B.C.
This amazing incident recalled that the dead man always dread- ed electric storms and that he'd been struck by lightning three times during his lifetime.
Here is the amssing record:
In the First World War, Maj: Bu.merford's horse was struck by a bolt of lightning, and he him- self was struck and partly paralyz- ed. This happened in Flanders. He come home an invalid but in time recovered to get about with the aid of canes.
In 1924, the major and three friends went fishing. A bolt of lightning struck the tree where Bumerfield sat. He alone was in-

"Now I have kept those enorm- our and glorious jewels till the last," continued Alvarez. "If they were in reality such opal: and em- eralds. rubies and sapphires as they appear to be, then I should declare them literally and com- mercially priceless; but they are not. They are what a former gen- eration of collectors called tobsid- ians'-a mistaken term embracing iihoso numerous jewels of pressed glass and other materials compre- hended in the solitary word 'pastc'. But I find a curious accident in this collection, for scone of the most beautiful things before us are actually and really obsldlans. Obsidian is a volcanic glass-a glass manufactured by nature- and Peru is one of the volcanic countries in which it has been most frequently found. Nothing

more likely than that the Incas should know it and work it.
He turned to the great jewels and began to seperate them.
"I will set apart the true obsid-
iana. This mineral breaks with conchoidal fracture and has been used all over the world for pur- poses less peaceful than adorn- ment. Arrow-heads. spear-points and various. cutting instruments have been found wherever it oc- curs. Mexico is full of them. These brown. silver-grey and striated. vitreous stories with their metal- lic sheen are true obsidians, and I have seen nothing to approach them in my experience. but the green, crimson and dark blue of the broken tiara and these frag- ments of a probable breast-plats are paste. How created, chemistry can tell us. They are far larger pieces than any paste I have ever seen. As to the enormous opals. they too, are much larger than any T!" corded from nature's workshops We must therefore assume them also to be paste, though they re- semble the reel thing so closely,
so marvellausly, that I withold my 'judgment for the moment. As makers of paste the Incas had certainly nothing to learn. And that is all one need say. save to express gratification at this unique experience."
'What is my dead son's prop- erty worth, Signor?" asked Anita Pardo. ”Your learning is not for me...

”We are all apt to do the like, and doubtless judging the huge obsidiams to be real emeralds and sapphires and rubies, he put those first. But you must tune your mind, Signora. that your collection does not represent anything stu- pendous in the shape of cash."
"That is so," agreed Antonio Alvarez. "rhere are two Ways of
regarding such a treasure. A cul-
tured observer admits at once that it is extrinsically priceless and nev- er to be considered in the terms of money for a moment; but, on the lower view. of its intrinsic val- ue as gold and precious stones, an approximate price can be suggest- ed... ”What would that be?" asked Anita. ”It is only your lower view that can have any interest for me."
"Since you are in haste to rid of them. I can make you an of- fer." replied the expert. "Your

facilities are likely to be small. and it may be a convenience to you to sell them outright with- out any furthei responslbiities. My own people will buy the col- lection and dispose of it in due course to collectors. We should hold an exhibition, and represent- atives from the United States and Europe would attend it. We should advertise adequately and acquaint those concerned with the unique occasion. Considerable expense wou-ld attend our operations need- less to say. '.Uhere is moreover, another fact to be considered. An English expedition of scientists well equipped is actually about to operate on lake Tlticacs. and it may quite possibly succeed in re- covering much of the major treas- une from ancient Cuzco. which still lie; at the bottom of the lake. Our purpose will be to anticipate them. They may not be as aston- ishingly fortunate as the collector of this oard; but. on the other

"Name the figure your people would pay me, Signor." repeated Anita. "You tell me these things to make it less."
Alvarez smiled.
"You are not a very agreeable woman." he said. "but it is the buyer who is always right. not ths seller. You must remember that. The se-lier's part is to name I price, though in this case I quite understand that you cannot do that. I offer you good terms on your own scale of valuation, Sig- nora Pardo.
