while some will initiate the noise mnde
by animals, or even the human
voice. Hitherto. however, the limitations
have been supposed TO be purely vocal,
each species retaining its own manners,
flight and walk. regardless Of those of its
fellows. Many Of these are distinctive
and peculiar enough, none more so than
the flights OF the tumbler pigeon.
No naturalist has, so far as we are
aware. hitherto ventured to grapple with
the problem Of why this kind Of pigeon
should have taken to throw somersc.s In
the air. Other varieties of pigeons have
apparently equally failed In understand
ing the matter. They may often be OBJ

attention and gravity sayoring of reproba-

an imitation Of IT, 1t appears. however,
that other birds are taking the matter in
hand. and there is a prospect, if the
fashion spreads, that tumbling may in
time become generally popular among the
winged race. and that even the sparrow,

According to The Paris Gaulois an
apparatus has Just been invented which
is simply astounding, for with it the
traveller need no longer fear any acct
dents. Safety will be assured on rail-
roads. This apparatus permits the en-
ploye charged with the duty to see into
a mirror the entire section of the road
he is to control, with all the trains in
motion, and he knows at every instant
just exactly where each train is. When
one of them approaches another at a
distance which Is dangerous he can i'm
mediately signal the menaced train.
The apparatus consists of a sheet Of
opa ne glass, on which the rails are in
dictated by horizontal lines and the sta
tons by vertical ones, numbered. Lit
tie arrows, representing the trains,
move along the horizontal lines. They
are put in motion by aid Of electricity,
developed by the contact of metallic
brushes attached to the locomotives
with zinc bands placed along the rails.
The train thus continually traces its ira
jectory on the glass indicator. The APP
paratus was exhibited some days ago in
Germany to a commission Of Berlin
scientists.

A gentleman in Germantown, Pa,
who was greatly annoyed by a colony of
sparrows that had taken up their quar-
tiers in a mass of ivy covering one side
Of his house, got rid of them By a novel
expedient- One cay he purchased half
a pound of red pepper, and going up to
the third story, opened the windows
and sifted the pepper down through the
ivy. The alarm of the sparrows was
eVinced by tho haste with which they
left their hiding places. Every bird
took its departure, and his premises are
NOW clear of them.

Grand Trunk Differentia1.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, April 3.-The Chicago east
bound trunk line committee met to-day at
the Grand Pacific to arrange for the pooling
of the Milwaukee, Chicago, Seneca and other
junction points traffic. John Newell, presi-
dent OF the Lake Shore, acted as chairman
and Thomas c. Moore secretary. All went
smoothly until the Milwaukee business WAS
reached, when j. G.. Reeves, traffic manager
of the Grand Trunk, insisted that his
road should be allowed the diff
ferential of 9 cents OF account of
the traffic going over the Detroit, Grand
Haven IL Milwaukee road. This is very im-
portant business to the Grand Trunk people,
the bulk of Milwaukee grain seeking that
route The majority Of the committee de-
sired that this business should be included in
the Chicago pool and an animated discus
sion followed. Finally a proposition was
male to the Grand Trunk people to give
them in lieu Of the differential an increased
percentage ir the pool, based on the amount
diverted and carried by the Grand HaTen
route This Mr. Reeves was not authorized to
accept, but he agreed to refer the proposal to
the Montreal headquarters, and allow the
officials there TO accept or reject, as they
please. This blocked further progress. The
representatives of the Milwaukee d st.
Paul and Northwestern made the statement
on the part of their roads, that they practi-
caIlv acted as agents for the Eastern roads,
and that all grain hauled from Milwaukee to
Chicago was transported without profit, the
rates accruing merely covering switching
and other charges. The meeting adjourned.
