DUCKS THAT NEVER S‘NAM.
Nor Have Any of These Unique Young-
sters Known a Mother.
Chicago has a duck farm which
numbers 10,000 ducks and ducklings,
none of whom has ever seen a drop of
water save that which is doled out to
them daily as drink.
What is more, not one of these
ducks, young or old, ever had a. moth-
er, provided the old question as to
which is the mother, the duck which
lays the egg or the duck which hatch-
es it, be answered in favor of the lat-
ter. These ducks were all raised in
boxes by the aid of kerosene oil and
a lighted lamp wick. When they felt
cold after being taken from their
hatching place, they were taught to
turn beneath coils of steam pipe which
sputtered a welcome to the ducklings
as they huddled up under the iron
pipes, “even as a hen calleth her
chickens under her wings.”
3 There is not in this whole collec-
tion of quacking birds at single one
which can claim a dark feather. Ten
thousand strong they are, all as white
as the driven snow, a remarkable cir-
cumstance considering the fact that
not one of them ever had a bath. This
‘duck farm at the south end of Chica-
go is not yet a single season old, and
it bears the distinction of being the
only rearing place for ducks in the.
United States which accomplishes its
object without a pond filled with the
birds’- natural element. The ducks
quack and grow fat and bring 25 cents
a pound in the market, which is dou-
ble the price at which water reared
quackers are quoted. It ‘is only fair
to say, however, that no claimis. made
that the absence of water increases
the price of the bird.-~Their value is
due to'the fact that the ducks are of
a peculiar strain and are sold when
only ten weeks old. -
There are at the farm several scores
of old ducks which supply the eggs
from which the young are raised, A‘-
few of the most likely of the oi!-
springs are set aside occasionally to
be kept until maturity for egg-laying
purposes. A corresponding number
of old ducks are disposed of. In
about .five years’ time there will be
ducks whose ancestors for ten genera:-
tions have not known what it is to

1 HOW HUMBOLDT SLEPT.
He is Said to Have Claimed that, when
’ Young.'l‘wo Hours were All Be Needed.
, How many hours' sleep does a man
want? In the Cosmopolis Professor
Max Mueller records an interesting
statement of Alexander von Hum-
boldt on this subject. “As I get
old,” he said, “I want more sleep——
four hours at least. When I was
young," he continued, “tWQ hours of
sleep were quite enough for me.”
, Professor . Max Mueller ventured to
express doubts, apologizing for differ-
ing from him on» any physiological
fact. “It is quite a mistake,” he said.
:“though it is very widely spread, that
we wand: seven or eight hours of sleep.
When I Was of your age I simply lay
down on the sofa, turned down my
lamp, and after two hqurs' sleep I
was as fresh as ever.” ‘ ‘
If Humboldt was speaking serious-
ly, and the habits he described were
continued for long periods, the experi-
ence is certainly remarkable, for he
did an immense amount of work and
lived to be 89. It may almost be said
that he lived to be 178,_for he certainly
lived at least twice as many waking
hours as most of mankind, .
