It is well known_that the Australian megapod is a bird tHat is accustomed not to sit on its egzs. In certain parts of Australia are found numerous mounds of considerabie sizs and height which tht first explorers took to be barial mounds. These were made by the Megapodius tumulus, which uses them or hatching its g They bav- sometimes consiuer- able dimensions. A nest that is fourteen feet bigh and fifty-five feei in circumfer- ence may be regarded as large. Each mefzapod builds its own nest with mate- rials which it gathers from all sides, and these are exactly what the gardener uses in the month of March (o make his forc- ing beds, namely, leaves and decomposing vegetabie mutter, which by their fermen- tation give off an appreciavle amount of In the forcing beds this heat hastens the sprouting of the seeds; in the nest it suf- fices for the development anc hatching of the young birds, and the m oiher can go where she likes and occupy herself as sue wishes, without being troubled by the du- ties of sitting. In the small island of Nin- afou, in the Pacific, anotber bird has a somewhat similar habit, in so farasit also ubonduns 118 eggs; but in place of ob- taining the necessary Leat from fermenia- tion it gets it from warm sand. The Lei- poa or native pheasant of Ausiral.a acts like the mgipod, and watches the tem- perature of its mound very closely, cover- ing and uncovering the eggs several times ay, to coul or heat them, as becomes necessary. After batching, the young bird remains in the mound seversl ours; it leaves on the second day, but returns for the night, and not until the third day is it able to lrave for zood the paternal abode.—Reviue Scientifique. ———— Pepper. “It has always amused me,’”’ remarked a botanical expert, “to hear people talk of their preference for black pepper over white, and the vari us explanations they give for the same. Little do they know that both black and white pepper grow upon the sume shrub. Over the pepper seed grows a black covering. The seed it- se.f is white, or nearly so. To make black pepper the seed and its external covering are groun:! up, while the white pepper is the seed alone ground up. W hite pepper is milder than bleck, the creater part of the pungency being in the covering. A pepper made of the coverings alone wouid be such, to use a slang term, hot stuff that it would burn the mouth. The black cov- ering of the pepper seed contains the o0il.”’—Washington Star. —————— In Chile they let nothing in the apple g0 to waste. There, aiter making cider and wine from their apples, they extract from the refuse a white and finely flavored spirit, and by another process they prov cure a sweet treacle, or, as they term it, boney.
