A Shower of Dead Birds.

A few evenings ago thousands of birds
We're found dead under the electric light
masts and wires. Tclegraphic messen-
gers and policemen picked up hundreds
of them. "Why were 80 many birds
killed last night"' | asked OF natural
list.
"The air was light and they were flying
low. 1t was dark and they evidintly got
trio lights. They fly at the rate of about
the electric light wires so hard that they
were killed, and dead birds were falling
in Monumental park and all over the city
all night OF course, the popular preju-
dice OF the public to the effect that the
birds were killed by electric shock was
advanced by many; indeed, the public
seems 10th to let go OF this erroneous idea,
although there is no such thing rs getting
Il shock from the wires, as they are
strung Examine the birds and you will
find that most OF them have ugly wounds
somewhere around the body. There
seems to be something about the atmos-
phere or certain conditions OF at least one
night in II season that makes the birds fly
lower than usual. Last fall we had lust
such night and more birds were found
about the city than the time that you
mentioned few evenings ago. While
nearly all the dead birds We're warbers
there We're more than twenty species
from breeding grounds in perhaps half us

seem TO travel by night and rest and eat

birds like the pigeon fly night and day at

BIG FISTS IN BLACK INK.
Characteristic Autographs of the
Leading Siuggcrs of the Country.

1t is not known that any autograph OF
pugilist was ever knocked down at a
public auction, though the autographs OF
Napoleon, Frederick the Great and Tous-
SAINT lOverture, the Black Diamond of
st. Domingo, and other fighters have
brought good prices and been eagerly
sought for by autograph hunters. Mr..
John l.. Sullivan's signature is compli-
Gated in design, and has certain meta
physical quality natural to one who has
been educated in Boston and has trained
in Concord. His capitals are elaborate,
like the capitals OF Cornthian column.
He has n big, heavy fist and an enor.
mously thick wrist. His clinched hand
presents Il smooth, even and seemingly
harmless row of fingers. His knuckles
are big and fiat, and are technically called
cushion knuckles, though to run against
them would be anything else than like
bounding upon cushion. Sullivan's
wrist is rs big as his fist, and his fist is as
big as they make them.
Mr. Ryan's autograph is large, clear
and open, with little photographic adorn-
ment, showing the lucidity Of his mind
and the directness Of his manner. 1t
might be read by those who run from
him, and written at the bottom OF a chal-
lenge could not be mistaken for the sig
nature of an inferior boxer. There is
nothing mctaphysically about Mr. Ryan.
On the contrary he is an aesthetic.
His hand is small, with delicate taper
fingers, and could as easily wear n
woman's as marquis of Queensberry
glove. He has what are technically
known as cone knuckles. That is, instead
of being flat and smooth, like Mr.. Sulli-
vans, they are sharp and pointed, and
have large indenting power. His wrist
is small and his hand tapers towards it.
Mr.. Jack Dempsey's signature resem-
bles Mr.. Ryan's, but is more elaborate.
1t is large and free in style, and ends with
bold and splendid flourish, as if he were
giving the finishing stroke to his own
fame.
His fist is said to resemble Tom Say
er's. 1t is very large, aud has enormous
knuckles. His wrist is of good size. Mr.
Dempsey has been the most successful
lightweight boxer in the country, and as
Il middle-weight has never met any one
who could defeat him.
Charley Mitchell has u round, oper
style OF penmanship, as BELTS bluff
Englishman. His &C" looks like the or
bit OF comet. The first stroke in his
an" looks like road whip. Mitchell's
fist is very large, his wrist OF medium
size, and his arm almost colossal. He is
one of the best boxers in the world.
The signatures OF all these boxers who
lead their guild are awe-inspiring. They
would most deeply impress the mos
careless reader if read at the bottom of ;
challenge. They are as good autographs
in respect TO penmanship rs any that are
put up and bid at extravagant prices a
auctions. They are palmer than ia,
Gould's. They show more proficiency il
penmanship than Napoleon Bonaparte' g
They may some day be admired b,
young boxers in the Pantheon of all TIN
prize-tighters.
