BIRDS AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

Denver is largely lighted by electricity.
Out toward tho suburbs are several lofty
towers, upon the tops of which are powerful
electric lights They are visible twenty or
thirty miles distant, and for n circuit of half
mile or more in every direction they give a
light almost like day. These towers are an
open framework of squared timbers and iron
rods, built like nm oil. well derrick, but rising
to height of two hundred feet. About ten
days ago one of the evening papers stated
that q great number of birds were being
killed about one of these towers, speaking OF
the destruction MS hundreds" and demand
ing that the electric lights be abolished il
they had to be maintained at the expense OF
bird life. The Electric Light Company
claimed that it wns nnjustly attacked. l
have since investigated the facts to some ex-
tent, and am of opinion that the very bright
light was the cause of destruction. The
slaughter occurred mainly on one night, to
some extent the succeeding night, and none
is reported since. 1t is stated by persons
living in the vicinity that on the night in
question the light was excessively bright.
Birds were fitting about, twittering and sing
ing all night. They flew against windows
that were lighted. In the morning dead
ones were found in the neighborhood of the
tower to the estimated number Of three
hundred 0therswere crippled, with broken
wings or otherwise disabled. The dead were

A CITY JNDER GROUND.
Important Discoveries Made While Diggisa
Canal In Fi0ridn.

For the past six months the work of dig
ging the canal to connect Lakes Eustis and
Dora, in order to open up the more south
ern lakes of the "Great Lake Region of
Florida has been prosecuted. The second
cutting of the canal was finished last week,
under the supervision Of Mr. L. H. Sprott,
who has been from the commencement one
of the foremen on the work. At the outlet
of Lake Dora the sand bar had already been
cut to the depth of nearly or quite three feet
on the previous digging, and was dug about
two feet deeper last week. At distance of
over four feet below the old level of Lake
Dora mound was discovered. The first ex-
cavations revealed the existence of clearly
defined wall lying in line tending toward
the southwest from where it was first struck
This wall was composed of a dark brown
sandstone, very much crumbled in places
but more distinct, more clearly defined, and
the stone more solid as the digging increased
in depth. The wall was evidently the east
ern side of an ancient home or fertilization,
as the slope Of the outer wall was TO the
west.
About eight feet from the slope of the
eastern wall mound of sand was struck,
imbedded in the muck formation above and
around it. This sand mound was dug into
only few inches, as the depth of the water
demanded but slight increased depth of
the channel at that point, but enough was
discovered to warrant the belief that here on
the northwestern shore of Lake Dora is sub
merged a city or town or fertilization oldea
by centuries than anything yet discovered ID
this portion of Florida. Small curiously-
shaped blocks of sandstone, some of them
showing traces of fire, pieces of pottery and
utensils made of q mottled flint, were thrown
out by the men while working waist 5eerc IN
water. A spear-head of notified flint five
and half inches long by one and a quarter
inches wide, nicely finished. was taken from
the top of the sand mound and about four
feet below the water-level of the lake.

AN IMPORTANT CHANoErN ENGLAND.

A few years ago large farms were all the
rage in England. Small holdings were
secuted and confident predictions were made
tliat they would share the fate of the hand
loom and the spinning Now the tide
has turned and it is running as strongly in
the other direction. Large farms cannot be
let, small holdings are snapped up at once,
according to land There is all through the
West and the Midlands the keenest competi-
ton for small farms, and men who n few
years ago were in possession of farms of
two hundred or two hundred and fifty acres
without possessing the capital necessary for
their proper cultivation, are now taking
farms of forty or fifty acres, upon which, if
obey have less capital than they had five or
six years ago, they will have larger capital
in proportion to their holding and better
security than they had to encourage them in
the free use of their capital and skill alike.
An agricultural, if not an agrarian, revolu-
ton is thus going on silently all around us,
which can hardly fall profoundly to modify
both the political and social conditions of
English rural life.--PGH Mall Gazette.

BOY INVENTORS.
uow the steam Valve md the Power Loom
Came To BE.


Some of the most important inventions
have been the work of boys. The invention
of the valve motion to the steam engine was
made by mere boy. Newcomers engine
was in very incomplete condition from the
fact that there was no way to open or close
the valves except by means of levers opera
ted by hand. He set up a large engine at
one Of the mines, and boy, Humphrey
Potter, was hired to work these valve levers.
Although this was not hard work, yet it re-
quired his constant attention. As he was
working the levers he saw that parts of the
engine moved in the right direction, and at
the same time he had to open or close the
valves. He procured strong cord and
made one end fast to the valve-lever, and
the boy then had the satisfaction of seeing
the engine move with perfect regularity Of
motion. short time after the foreman
came around and saw the boy playing mar
bles at the door. Looking ut the engine he
saw the ingenuity Of the boy, and also the
advantage Of so great an invention The
idea suggested by the boys inventive genius
was put in practical form and made the
steam engine an automatic working machine
The power loom is the invention of far
mer's boy who had never seen or heard OF
such thing. He Whitfield one out with his
jackknife, and when he had got it all done
he showed it with great enthusiasm to his
father, who at once kicked it all to pieces,
saying he would have no boy about him who
would spend his time on such foolish things
The boy was sent to blacksmith to learn a
trade, and his master took lively interest
In him. He made loom of what was left
of the one his father had broken up and
showed it to his master The blacksmith
saw he had no common boy as an appren-
tice, and that the invention was valuable
one. He had q loom constructed under the
supervision of the boy. II worked to their
perfect satisfaction, and the blacksmith fur
nished the means to manufacture the looms,
and the boy received half the profits. In
about year the blacksmith wrote to the
boys father that he should bring with him
wealthy gentleman whe WAS the inventor OF
the celebrated power-loom. You may be
able to judge of the astonishment at the old
home when his son was presented to him az
the inventor, who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that he had
kicked to rieses but year ago Western

ELEPHANT MEMORY.

A parallel instance of elephant memory is
Afforded by the case of an elephant which,
having broken loose from the stables ON
stormy night, escaped into the jungles. Four
years thereafter, when drove of wild ele-
plants was captured in the "keddah" or
enclosure, the keeper of the lost elephant
vent TO inspect the new arrivals, and climbed
on the ratings of the "keddah" to obtain a
satisfactory view of the captured animals.
Having fancied that among the animals cap
turcd he recognized the escaped elephant
an idea ridiculed by his 1omrades-he called
his lost charge by its name. The animal at
once came close to the barrier, and on the
keeper proceeding into the enclosure and
commanding it to lie down, the elephant
obeyed, and the man led his former charge
triumphantly forth from among his wild com
panions But the memory of kindness is
equaled in the elephant by that which recalls
acts of injury to remembrance. The we'll
known story of the Indian elephant which,
on being pricked by native tailor near
whose stall it had wandered, returned and
deluged the man with shower bath Of dirty
water. finds many parallels in the history Of
elephant character. An elephant which was
kept at Versailles by Louis XIV was in the
habit of revenging himself for affronts and
injuries A man who, feigning to throw
something into his mouth, disappointed him,
was beaten to the ground with the trunk and
trampled upon. On painter desiring to
sketch this elephant with the trunk erect and
mouth open, his servant was instructed to
feed the elephant for the purpose of inducing
the animal to assume the desired attitude.
But the supply of food falling short and ele-
phantine chagrin being aroused, the elephant,
drawing up water into his trunk, coolly
showered It down upon the unfortunate
painter and his sketch, drenching the one and
rendering the other useless -BelgyaOia.

MEXICO

One is struck by the simplicity of the peo-
pie, their houses and their habits particularly
in the rural districts, where the old-time pillow
of two thousand years ago is still used in the
field. Paupers are plenty, and yet one rare
" hears of death by starvation. Bread is
cheap, and fruit can be had for song.
The bread in general use is the tortilla,
made of corn. 1t is the bread of the Aztecs
and the Toltecs of seven hundred years ago.
Il is the bread Montezuma ate in his day.
And this is how it is made: The corn is
soaked in warm lime water for half day;
then worked, when the hulls drop off then
the clean grains are placed on fiat stone,
saal-s el---.-. .seiis ~
corn is ground and looks like mortar. Some
red pepper is put into the dough, when the
operator takes lump into her hands, pats
II until il assumes the form of a cake and
then places it upon an earthen plate, laid
upon the Goals, and the famous tortilla is
ready to be eaten. The cake is quite palat-
able, and with soup is not to be despised
The lower class of people use no spoons,
knives or forks in eating, but take piece of
tortilla, shape it like spoon or cup, dip it
into the soup, and then swallow both togeth-
err. The manufacture and sale of this cake
is one of the few fields open to women in
Mexico. They bake them and then hawk
their goods upon the streets or deliver them
to families at their houses. But they never
grow rich in their calling. Indeed, in this
country, the object of the people is not to
get wealth it is rather to obtain the COM
forts of life A Mexican will work three
days of q week in field, and sleep the other
three days of the week away. The seventh
day is market day, and also church day.
The common people are clad in the simplest
and fewest garments, in fact they are never
over-dressed. 1t is surprising how few
clothes will pass muster in some districts o.
that country. A blanket spread on the
earthen floor of their small huts is consider
cd good enough for any sovereign of that
land; while cot is considered luxury,
aud only INDUCED in by the well-to-do peo-
pie. Everybody smokes, but no one chews
or snuffs. The ladies smoke as gracefully
as they dance. They smoke in the parlor at
home and when visiting and are content
only when they have cigarette every half
hour.

SUBMARINE CABLES.

A deadly enemy to the cable, in the shape
of a large boring worm, exists in the Indian
seas. The worm is flesh-colored and slender,
of the length of from Il inches to p inches
The head is provided with two cutting tools
of curving shape, and il speedily eats
its way through the hemp of the sheathing,
to the gutta percha of the core, into which
it bores hole. A full account of this par
tcular worm, with anatomical illustrations
is given in the Journal of the Royal Micro
soopieal Society for October, 1881, by Dr.
Charles Stewart, Secretary of the Society.
The bore-holes, after passing through the oak
UNI of the inner sheathing, either pursue a
tortuous course along the surface of the
gutta- percha core, or go right into the cop.
per wire, thereby causing 'dead earth
fault. DIR. Stewart classes the worm as one
of the Eunicid@, but proposes for it the
generic name ofLithognatha aoorslei, because
Of its possessing pair of calcareous man
dibles or cutting jaws, and after Capt.
Worsely, the commander of the repairing
ship which picked up the worm-eaten cable
The pair of calcareous jaws, in addition to
the three pairs of chitinous ones, is the most
remarkable feature about the animal, and
and the white plates which form them make
the creature look as if it were in the act of
of swallowing tiny bivalve shell The best
protection hitherto found against it is to
cover the core with ribbon of sheet-brass,
laid on without lap. First the gutta-percha
is covered with cloth, then the brass is over
laid Canvas is then put over the brass,
and the hemp aud iron wire over all. A
close layer of iron wire is not sufficient
protection, for the worm can sometimes
wriggle in between the wires where they
are not close enough and, moreover, the
rapid decay of iron wire in tropical seas is
certain to leave the core prey to these pests in
few years. In the earlier days of
submarine telegraphy, Sir William Thomson
declared the life of cable to be practically
inviolable, and Robert Stephenson, on the
other hand, was of opinion that no cable
would last out 10 years. The latter view
has proved the more correct, for the average
lie of cable hitherto has been about II
years. Thanks to the improved means OF
repairing the outbreak of faults does
not mean the loss of a cable, for these flaws
can be cut in water, however deep, and the
cable put to rights again. Indeed, every
cable company expects a recurrence Of
faults, andprovides fully equipped repairing
ship always on the spot.--Naturo

FAMILIES WITH ONE SON.
An Old Mans Observations Concerning

If had an only son." began the old
man as the lights we're turned up and Bib

as only darters allus grow, an she run away

po'-house, I should be leetle sorry but not
bit surprised. De family wild an only son
or an only darter needs no odder trouble.
When you meet man who carries his cigars

BAN to take a chew of terbacker, sot him
down fur an only son. When you meet q
man who husters an brags an seeks to lord
it ober odder people you have foun' an only
son. When you meet a man who thinks de
world was made fur him alone you have
met an only son. De only son am de man
who takes up two seats in de kyars-who
| who crowds de chilren at festival-who
eats himself sick when he pays two shillins
fur all he kin eat. I doan' say dat he am to
