FOOD FOR BUZZAROS.
A Question rs to Whether the Birds Find 1t
by sight or smell

AT the meeting Of the Biological So
ciety an interesting paper was read by
Mr. c, L. Hopkins on the 'Seuse OF
Smell in Buzzards." This much-de
bated point was strongly set forth by
Mr. Hopkins in relating his experience
in Florida, 1t was the uniform testi-
mony of the Florida CRACKERS that
the buzzards obtained food by smell.
He had noticed that buzzards had never
left their roost on damp, foggy morn
ings until the ground and shrubbery
were dry. They would then move
slowly across the wind until II scent
was struck, when they would work up
the wind till the carrion was found.
Some times they would drift down the
wind past their prey until they struck
the scent. which would be followed up.
finding the object of their search some
times in the densest scrub He had on
several occasions killed wild hogs in
the scrub, and after dressing them and
taking what meat he wished, would
see twenty or more buzzards COM
ing down into the wind. A razor
back killed in the morning in scrub
so dense that only directly over
head could sky be seen, was found by
buzzards before night At several
times covered offal had been detected
by them. While plowing a field he
killed snake and turned it under a
furrow, yet the buzzards quickly found
it. though they failed to dig it out
Several other instances were related,
which, in Mr.. Hopkins opinion, con-
elusiyely proved that buzzards find
some OF their food by scent, though
that did not preclude the possibility cr
probability that they obtain other fosd
by sight
In the discussion that followed OBJ
iections were made to many of Mr.
Hopkins examples as not being con-
elusive that the buzzards were not at
tracted by sight, the discharge of guns
or other unusual circumstances. but it
was generally admitted that they could
scent carrion at short range. Mr.
Hallock was of the opinion that scent
would not rise high enough to attract
the attention of buzzards at great aii-
tudes, but thought such ones could yet
Information from others flying lower.
The strongest testimony against the
scent theory was presented by Mr..
Leland Howard, who repeated the
statement of Mr. Otto Lugger. of the
Agricultural Department Mr.. Lug
ger was for four seasons stationed ut
Hunters wharf on the Chesapeake.
The fishermen had been in the habit of
throwing out stingarees. alewives, and
other worthless fish on the shore, and
swarms of buzzards were attracted to
the spot to feed There was rail
fence on the bluff by the shore. and the
buzzards would roost so thick along the
top rail that it was black. Finally the
fishermen became aware that their re.
fuse fish were valuable for fertilizers.
They dug a broad, deep trench some
thirty feet back from the fence aud
kept it filled with fish, covering them
with layer of seaweed. Yet the buzz
yards continued to come aud sit on the
fence, with their faces seaward. never
deigning to notice the delicious It'd bits

A Warrant Sworn Out for the Adul.

From the Lexington (GaD Echo.

IeFSE 0Idy DuJ ne SklpS.
From the Lexington (Gd) Echo
Last week we chronced the desertion bv
a man named Gray of his wife and children
in Goosepond district, and his elopement
with another woman. Further information
is to the effect that there was more of the
crime than our informant had heard.
Thursday Of last week Mr.. John Matthews
came to Lexington and swore out before
Justice Lester peace warrant against
Gray, which was put in the hands of Sheriff
Maxwell for execution. From Mr.
Maxwell we get the further particulars
of the evil doings of the demon. He had
not left his wife but had brought a woman
to the house of his father-in-aw, where he
was living, and, by threats of violence,
forced his family to let her remain there
unmolested, making his wife and children
servants for her. Once or twice the wife
had raised some objection to the way they
were living. and each time the brute had
threatened her with death if she raised
any further objections or made any efforts
towards stopping him in his crimes. Last
week some time it seems that he had become
enraged at his wife for some treatment
of his paralnour, and enticing her away
from the house, made an attempt TO put an
end to her life by attempting to shoot her
with a shot guu. His two sons, aged about
II and II, suspectlng foul play, had followed
their mother, and arrived upon the scene
just in time TO prevent the murder They
then reported what had taken place to some
of the neighbors, one of them Mr. Mathews,
at which Gray was greatly enraged, and
against whom he made fearful threats.
This brought about the peace warrant.
When Sheriff Maxwell arrived upon the
scene his prey had gotten wind of what was
coming and had left the country. The
soiled dove was still there, though, and was
very 10th TO obey the Sheriff's orders 10
leave the county as quick as she could.
Such a terror had the man become to the
family and the neighborhood that all were
afraid to call in the law to rid them of the
par. Even the father of the wife, under
whose roof they were living, submitted,
knowing Gray TO be a desperate scoundrol,
capable Of any crime. Sheriff Maxwell
has his ire up against the criminal, and the
neighborhood may feel safe that their tor.
mentor will either stay away, or lind "a
