An Austrian meteorologist L.

source of error in the use Of the rain
gauge that may. under certain circum-

the amount Of rain fall which two in
struments will register will depend
notably on their respective distances

of experimental trials conducted dur
ing one year, with two instruments
placed respectively ct the height Of
fifty feet and four feet fro@ the
ground, the lower gauge registered

singular Occurrence.

One night short time since ar
immense flock of birds passed over
Shsrpsville, Mercer county. Ia their
course they flew over the Douglas
furnaces, and commenced dropping
by the hundreds. until there was q
perfect shower Of them. 1t is sup
posed they became bewildered, and
flying too near the furnaces were
suffocated by the gas and smoke.
A great many of them were badly
burned, and the stencil becoming SO
great, that they were gathered up and
thrown into the furnaces. The next
morning dead birds were found "
ing all about the vicinity Of the fur
naces, and number of persons col
lected them by the basketful. for the
purpose of having them stuffed, and
taxidermists were in demand. The
singular part Of the affair is that the
birds were Of different species-em-
bracing bluebirds, redbirds, wood
cocks, yellowbirds, wild ducks, and
number of varieties-msny Of them
having beautiful plumage. How
such collection migra.ed together
is a mystery.
