q. A, r.. and G.. DIR.

On Wednesday, 18th, the G. A. r. Post
of this place, to the number of 27, with
music and guns and flags, went out IN
carriages beyond Mabee's Corners, to
make flank movement on their friend
George Dever. But Uncle George was
not surprised. He was ready, and he just
opened his big gate and let the little army
in, and captured the entire party. The
fact is, Uncle George gave the Post
handsome flag short time ago, and the
bows have refused to be restrained from
giving him an expression of their graft
tude. Hence this visit. After the usual
preliminaries, dinner was announced, and
the boys placed Uncle George at the head
of the table Commander Patterson pro
posed toast: "The Flag of Our Coun-
try" Comrade III. G. Miller responded,
in neat speech, referring to the flag un-
der which all of these boys had marched
and fought. and closed by presenting to
Mr.. Dever a superbly framed copy OF the
following resolutions:

Big Saws.


The largest circular saw that has been
sent out of that city recently, according to
New York paper, was exactly six feet in
diameter. 1t was ordered by match
company and went to Michigan Fifty
two teeth projected from its rim 1t IS
now revolving at the rate of 672 revolu-
tions minute, and is capable of making a
10-inch to Pinch cut with each revolu-
ton, 1t can saw off 40-foot plank, there
fore, in an infnitesimal portion of minute,
though, as matter of fact, the frame on
which logs are fed to saw is adjusted to
move at about the speed at which man
can walk. At that rate there is nothing
but whirr and a shrek to announce the
journey of logs length. This is not
solid saw, or it would have more than one
hundred teeth. 1t is one of the new pat
terms, in which the teeth are separate from
the plate, and can be inserted or removed
at pleasure. The teeth in the sort of saw
of which this monster is a specimen are
little curved bits of steel pointed like chisels
at the cutting end. They fit into round
sockets cut out of the edges of the saw
plates, and their little chisel blades project
slightly beyond the circle of the plate.
There are various inventions in movable
teeth for circular saws, and in nearly all of
them the circle plays an important part.
1t looks purely ornamental, but in reality it
prevents the steel from splitting with the
grain.
Solid saws continue to be made in great
numbers, but the inventors of the movable
teeth, different patterns of which are made
by all saw manufacturers are deriving for
tunes, because new teeth can be replaced
for few cents and in few minutes, and
the body of the saw remains the size it was
made, whereas solid saws have to be newly
filed and set and sharpened every time they
dull, process that consumes time and re-
quires the services of sawyer whose skill
commands good wages. Every cutting re-
duces the size of the saw, A seventy-two-
inch saw is big one, even in Michigan,
where the sixty-six-inch saw is in common
use, There these 5!-foot saws are run at IA
speed of from 500 to 700 revolutions in
Norway pine logs, and they cut as deep
with each revolution as the monster above
described The little chisel-bit teeth will
chew out pine during whole working day,
and an entire set of dull ones can be re-
placed next day in five minutes for three
cents TOOTH Some of the sawdust from
one of these great saws was sent from Mich
igan to the establishment of a great saw
maker in this city, 1t was esteemed Gu
riosity. 1t was not dust at all, but mass
of little pellets of wood; three-eighths of an
inch in thickness The lumbermen prefer
to waste lumber in this way, provided they
get speed out of their tools. These huge
saws are used singly in saving a rough log
into planks. Afterward the planks are re-
duced to desired widths by edger saws,
which are smaller implements revolving to-
gether at the proper distances one from the
other.

Two Queer Animals.
They were Caught ON Swan IsIand-A
Place Astounding i'm Tropical Riches.

From the Baltimore Sun Of Friday:
Captain Charles H. Davis, of the schoon
er Florence Rogers, from Vivorilla Cay
arrived on Wednesday night. A visit t.
his vessel disclosed an interesting exhibition
of curiosities On his way to Baltimore h
stopped at Swan Island, in the Carribear
sea, and was so attracted by its lovelines
and abundance of fruit, game and tropica
riches that he remained several days.
Swan Island is the most isolated islanC
in the caribbean. 1t is one hundred mile
from the main land and one hundred ant
thirty from the nearest settlement on Rotar
Island. 1t has been lately taken possession
of by the Pacific Guano Company, which
has placed superintendent and few work
men there to retain proprietorship. The
American flag flies over the island. The
guano company occupied it just in time t.
prevent it from being claimed by an English
man-of-war which arrived shortly afterward
The commander of the man-of-war regret
ted the loss of the island, as the location o.
lighthouse upon it would be an excellent
guide to vessels bound from Europe to the
British Honduras.
Captain Davis brought home with him
from Swan Island two strange animals fol
which he can find no name. They are dark
gray in color, about the size of cats, but
with heads, teeth and eyes like rats. Then
tails are very short There are but few Of
them on the island, and they cannot be
found on the other islands A peculiarly
of the animals is the strong affection which
exists between them. Ifthe male is caught
the female becomes willing prisoner, and
vice versa. They were shipped to Boston
on Thursday.

some of which are two feet in length

fans, sea eggs, sea porcupines, torquoise
shells, whips made of sea trees, sea shells,
sea beans, conchs and brooms of cocoa, all
the products of the island, are scattered
over the vessel in endless profusion. Lii.
les, with beautiful variegated leaves, and
cacti, all of which grow wild in this verita-
BILE paradise, are also among the valuable
collection of Capt. Davis. The bananas are
thin-skinned, and of the most delicious
flavor.
Capt. Davis says the ground on the island
is covered with cocoanuts. A full.blooded
darkey was yesterday at work husking a
pyramid of cocoanuts In mammoth lock-
crs in the cabin were sea-shells of all sizes
and colors.
Besides all this wealth of nature; Swan
Island has rich deposits of guano and phos-
phate rock The superintendent of the
island told Capt. Davis that last year he
had to free over three hundred turtles,
weighing from 200 to 300 pounds apiece,
from his ''crawls" because no vessels called
at the island, Capt. Davis will send his
eurtosities to his home, in Brooklyn, where
he has valuable collection, gathered in
all parts of the world,

Teaching Birds to Sing,

Few birds that are esteemed as pets in
a household, says the New York Times,
sing their natural song If they did they
wouldn't be so highly priced. The canary,
even, is trained to his song, and the young
bird is kept, by the careful breeder, in the
company of only the best singers.
There lives in Roosevelt street, in this
city, an Alsatian who has accomplished a
wonder in the training of common field
robin. The bird was kept by him in q
dark room with small music-box set TO
play only one tune, "Niy Mary Ann" A
dozen times day or more the music-box
ground out this one tune. The owner Of
the bird is whistler and something of
musician. At such odd hours as he could
get from his work he went to the room
where the bird was confined and whistled
the tune. Occasionally he would take his
violin to the room and play 'My Mary
Ann"
The robin heard no music but this, and
as consequence in couple of months be
gan to sing this song. When he got so he
could whistle it from beginning to end his
Improvement ceased. And now he sings
at intervals this plaintive air in rivalry
with the music-box, and much to the de-
light of its owner,
The initiative faculty thus developed has
clung to the bird, who is now constantly
picking up new notes, and has perfected
itself in portion of one of the airs from
"Fatinitza" 1t has also learned to speak
three French phrases, and has acquired
the habit of calling out in shrill whistle,
"Jules," the name of its owners son.
The method used by this Alsatian Is
that pursued by all trainers in Europe who
make the education of song-birds speci-
atty. The bullfnch is their favorite stu
dent, because it learns the most readily,
can acquire two or three tunes, and is a
favorite in the market. These trainers,
generally peasants, will fill darkened
room with cages of bullRnches, and teach
them by the use of what is known as
bird-organ, to whistle some particular tune
The bird-organ is baby hand-organ and
plays only the one song the teacher desire his
shcolars to learn, This is ground out to
them dozen times daily, and in a month
or two the pupils are graduated, and ap-
parently revel in their education, abandon
ing their natural song for the artificial one.
The violin or music box is often substi-
tuted for the bird-organ, but one of the
three is always an accompaniment to the
education of a song-bfrd.
The young canary takes its schooling
from its male parent, and the young birds
while in training have no other education
than being confined in room with num-

To an inquirer n literary exchange an
Ohio ethnologist sends the opinion "that
many evidences seem to show that the In
dians of this country are lipeal descendants
of the Hebrews; that evidence can be fur
nished to the effect that they were probably
the first human inhabitants of this country
were, indeed, the mound buildazs who
some have been led to suppose lived here
before the Indians came; that they original
ly used the Hebrew language and that the
reason some Indian words resemble words
used among the Arabs is probably that the
Arabs are descendants of Ishmael, Abra-
hams son, who probably used the Hebrew
language, used by his father and other
Hebrews"

Reading and Study.

There is such thing as reading too much.
If you would grow mentally you must
study. Perhaps no people in the world
read so much as the Americans do; but what
is the character of the literature many of
them read? The details of criminal courts
and gross licentiousness, sensational and
exciting news, extravagant stories, and ro-
mances, and the incidents of prize fights,
base ball games and riots are read with avid
ity; hut literature of high order is neg elected,
and the most profound treatise upon scien-
tific, artistic, moral and useful subjects are
allowed to grow dusty on the shelves of
libraries and bookstores, Every sailor may
learn navigation, every carpenter and mason
may become an architect, and every machin-
list civil engineer; but the number who
have mental energy, and determination to
strive to learn, is comparatively small. The
fault is mainly in their early training, which
has failed to developed a taste for learning,
industrious habits, and a manly ambition
to gain the respect and confidence of the
community by persevering efforts to I'M
prove things of real value.

Trees which yield gutta-percha are be-
coming scarce, as the growth Of young trees
of the best varieties has not kept pace with
the destruction DIR, Oxley calculates that

equal to 1884 pounds-exported from Sin
gapore from the 1st of January, 1915, to
1S47 no fewer than SO, ,l80 trees were
sacrificed, and according to the Sarawak
Gazette, 100000 trees were required to
supply the 10000 piculs exported during
1854 to 1874. These are only two instances
of the demand for the gum, the first show

indicating clearly the increasing pressure
brought to bear upon limited and COM

First prepare saturated solution of sui,

apply some Of this on the end of a stick to
the solder. On touching it then with an
iron or steel wire it becomes coppered, and
by repeating the experiment the deposit OF
copper may be made thicker and darker.
To give the solder yellow color, mix one
part of saturated solution of sulphate of
zinc with two of sulphate of cop
per apply this to the cOppered spot,
and rub it with a zinc rod, The color can
be still further improved by applying gilt
powder and polishing; On gold jewelry,
or colored gold, the solder is first coppeTed
as above, then a thin coat of gum or isin-
glass solution is laid on and bronze powder
busted over it, making surface which can
be polished smooth and brilliant after the
gum is dry.

The rabbit is probably the most produc-
tive of the whole rodent genus; single
pair may be answerable for population of
half million within five years. Originally
natives of Spain, the rabbits once multipli-
ed in that country, as well as in some of
the islands of the Mediterranean, in such an
alarming manner that the people appealed
for military aid to assist in their destruc-
ton. And it was not until numbers of
ferrets and weasels were introduced that
the rabbit population began to diminish.
The quadrupeds of Australia are chiefly Of
the ''marsupialp order; and from the great
kangaroo down to the wombat and kanga-
roo rat (both burrowers) nearly all the tribe
are herbivorous. The dingo, or native dog,
is destructive only to sheep, while the Wild
cat, though pretty common in some parts,
is not generally prevalent. When, there
fore the rabbit was first landed in Austria
liza the land was all before him where to
whose to chose, In the official Sydney
market rate for January, 1873, the price
of rabbits was quoted at from Is. Cd. to As.
each, retail. Five or six years later they
were looked upon as aggressive and de-
structive vermin, and had so rapidly over
run large tracts Of land as to become quite
a scare to the squatters To-day every
phase of the Australian rabbit plague is
not only regarded as of vital interest by
the colonists, but is a subject Of curiosity
and discussion throughout the civilized
