Interesting Experiments wi tn Birds.

DIR. Wood, of East Windsor Hill.
the well known Connecticut orni-
tholosist, whose collection OF eggs
alone numbers between 5000 and
10000, and includes some which
cost $50 apiece, has been expert
menting with hawks eggs for hatch
ing under sitting hen. His expert
ments were successful every time.
and the resultshows that published
work by a acertain Philadelphia orni-
thologist. in its statement of the
time required for Matching the eggs
of different hawks, is all wrong, and
evidently mere guesswork. The
Doctors experiments show that for
the eggs of the red-shouldered hawk
and in fact for those of every species
of hawk he has tried, about twice
the length of time is required for in
cubation that is named in the Phil
adelphia and some other works on
ornithology. Hehas found no hawk Is
egg that will hatch inside of twenty
eight days, and many of them
require thirty days. Owls eggs are
difficult to succeed with under a
hen. All the owls lay a white egg
nearly round but the shell is SO
thin, that under hen the eggs get
broken and DR.. Wood failed to hatch
any owls eggs. He discovered, as
was stated, we believe, in one of his
papers on ''The birds of Connect

ago in the Tines that one kind OF
owl, known in this State, namely,
the Great Horned Owl, has the SIN

The Story of n Beard.

During a soriee given at the Win
ter Palace at st. Petersburg, in the
reign of the Car Nicholas, some for
ty years ago, the conversation hap
pened to turn on luxurient growths
of hair, and a governor of distant
province remarked that he frequent
ly noticed, in the chief town of his
government, venerable Jew, whose
countenance was adorned by beard
of extraordinary length and beauty.
"How / should like to see him. .
calculated a lady, smiling winning
ly at the narrator. "Your highness
least wishes are commands" replied
the governor and that very night
he dispatched courier to the pro-
vincial capital with a peremptory
order that the Hebrew should be
forwarded to him without delay.
On receipt OF this command the To-
cal authorities at once caused the
jew to be conveyed post-haste to
st. Petersburg. His protestations OF
innocence were ignored. When af.
ter travelling for more than a fort.
night, he reached his destination,
the police officials, learning from his
escort that he had been sent thither
at the express order of the COVER
nor, assumed that he must be a
criminal of the deepest dye. Ac-
cordingly they thrust him into a
dungeon, having first caused his
hair to be clipped short and his
beard shaved off, in conformity with
prison regulations. By this time
several weeks had elapsed since the
conversation above alluded to had
taken place, and the lady's within
had been forgotten alike by herself
and the governor. As, therefore, nc
questions were asked about the luck
less Hebrew, he remained immured
in his cell, and might have spent
the remainder Of his davs there had
not his relatives, wealthy traders, be-
stirred themselves to obtain his re-
lease. When they succeeded in di-
recting official attention to his case
it came out, to the infinite amuse-
ment of the Russian court, that bis
beautiful beard, the motive of his
martvrdom. had long since ceased
TO exist. and with it the necessity Of
his further sojourn in ST. Petersburg
He was, therefore, set at liberty
grimly congratulated upon hi:
lucky escape" and solemnly warn.
ed 'never to do it again"

Most Remarkable Eyes.


Last winter gentleman living
near Litchfield, Connecticut, took
his daughter, 16 years of age, on a
sleigh-ride. The day was cold but
very sunny. On their return the
girl complained OF her eyes. The
trouble grew worse, and finally the
! girl was kept in u ,iy X rom and
there remained with n3 ray OF light
until a few days ago, when she ex-
perienced peculiar sensation which
she describes as follows: at seemed
as if my eyes were running out. or
part of them. Putting my hand up
to my eyes l could feel something
coming out over my lower eyelids
which l took hold of and pulled
out. 1t gave me some pain to do so
but almost Immediately my eyes
felt better. Instead of a smarting
sensation when / winked, they felt
cool and natural, and it was pleas
ure to wink them. Then cane the
thought, why, my eyes are better,
and | believe / could bear the light,
which thought was so impressed
upon my mind that l was deter
mined to try. Hesitatingly | open
ed the door, when to my great JOY |
found / was able to bear the light as
well as | ever could. The feeling
that came over me at the moment
that l found out that / could once
more leave the dark, dismal room
and see the glorious sunlight again
was so overpowering that gave one
scream for joy and then tainted
away"
Now comes the strangest part of
the story. Six months ago the girls
eyes were straight and natural now
the girl is cross-eyed, but she pays
no attention to that. She sees things
just the same as she always did, but
let her close her right eye and look
out of only her left eye, and she can
see distance of eight or ten miles.
and distinguish things as well as an
ordinary person can only sixty rods
away. She is able to look clear to
the lake, q distance OF three and a
half miles, and identify any one, de-
scribing their dress even. The dis
tant hills are brought close to her,
and she can see the farmers getting
in their hay, even counting the
number of heaps, which in an air
line, are seven miles from her. To
test her, a field glass was used, and
her sight would far out reach any
object that could be seen with the
glass. If she closes her left eye and
looks. out of the right, then she can
not see anything except close to her,
but that eye is a perfect microscope.
She is able to distinguish things
tn at the natural eye cannot see.
TIE point of needle looks as blunt
as crowbar, and it is wonderful to
hear her describe the beautiful colors
of flies and other insects. To her
the hairs on persons head look as
large as darning-neeeles, and in the
finest piece of linen she can count
bean-poles. The moment she opens
both eyes they assume the cross
eyed expression or shape, and then
she sees again as any other person.
1t is the intention of her father to
take her to New York at no distant
day to let some of the celebrated
physicians see this wonderful phe-
nomenon. The girl herself is a very
bright, pretty girl, but very timid.

MONTREAL, Aug. 9.-Vennor says
that we may expect great change
in the weather about the time the
new comet comes in its perihelion,
when it will be also nearest the
earth. This will occur on the Goth
of the present month. During the
time from the 10Th to the Goth of the

burned up, as we might expect, he
says we shall be nearly frozen by
frosts and strong cold northerly
winds.
