soARII LaF BIRDS.
The Mode of svhtcl, the Eagle
and yuffure sep Aloft.

The sight of hawks mounting up
ward by a wheeling flight in circles
must be q farmiliar one to all who have
lived in the country. The eagle, the
vulture and other birds of prey have
the habit of keeping ,aloft by the same
mode of fight. The course described
in ascending is s1piral, and it is made
with no apparent effort. The wings
and tail of the 6lrd are kept spread
out to their fnllAektent. that is all.
There is no Tapping nor tluttering.
and yet the bird rises rapidly. aside
from the speed with which it makes
each successsi--I1 9, pnd. There is much
mystery abo, 81 usht. Naturalists,
like MI BfSa Is that the bird
uses the ceustf tity as a fulcrum,
and takes adya Of the wind by
setting its wing tail something
like the sails of when lacking.
The difficulsSsSv this. explanation
is that the binh al een taking their
flight in thissmanner On perfectly still
days. 10 say that there are currents
of air moving up aloft, where the birds
are, is nothing but as assumption, when
all the evidence we hare that such is
the case is the flight of the birds.
Again, if we refer this scaling motion
to the action of the wind. there is still
a difficulty in understanding how it
happens that one bird so much excels
another in speed, or tn l. the same bird
increases or slackens It's speed so easily
as it does. We may say that this is due
to difference in the extent of wings,
and in the skarwith which they are set.
Even then it is incoaceivable, upon
this theory, how the swallow, for in
stance, attains the speed it does in seal
ing; and this, tooA hen we know there
is little force of wa 4 !.
Persons who have Observed the alba
tross, the Cape.pigeonN nd the stormy
petrol say that ese birds are unable
fly at all in @ wealthy, except by
tapping theirEge wings. In high
winds they keeR themselves up with
no other apparent action than that OF
changing the position of the wings
In this case, the great activity of these
birds in storming weather does not
involve corresponding WEAKNESS.
The winds toss them, and fondle them,
and rock them to rest, if not to sleep.
Naturalists have relied upon the uni
formity of nature in reasoning from
the habits of these sea-fowl to those of
our land birds. Such reasoning is usu-
ally safe, but there are difficulties here,
as has been shown above.
One object which the hawk and his
kindred may have in soaring is the
getting into more agreeable temper
attire. 1t sometimes seems that the
hotter the day the higher they soar.
1t is possibly their way Of going to the
mountains. 1t may be that the spiral
course is taken to enable the bird to
sean a wider field than it could in any
other way. If this supposition has
any foundation, then the size of the
circles described depends upon the ex-
tent of vision, and not upon the wind
or the powers of fight. There is need
of careful observation on some of these
points. Youths Companion.

One of the most unique Of the many
private dinners given this season at
Delmonico's took place last week. On
the plate Of each guest and attached
to the menu was a beautiful ring with
an emerald stone, set in diamonds.
The rings cost $1,000, and as there
were eight guests, the menus, with
their novel attachments, must have
cost $4,000. The host was George
Law, a street-railway magnate and
several times q millionaire.
Persons who hear of Mr.. Laws gen
erosity and do not know him may
think he is an improvident spendthrift.
Not so, for he is a well-balanced man.
1t is admitted that every. mai has a
weakness; and presenting his friends
with jewelry is Mr.. Laws weakness.

An INFANT COWBOY.

People in the eastsuppose cowboys
to be rough, uncouth creatures, con-
tinuously in a brawl when not on the
range. Texas, however, has one,
named Logan Mulhall, who is only a
month or two over six years old and a
herd-owner in the Cheyenne nation.
He is the youngest cowboy in the.
world. The boy owns over q hundred
head Of cattle, has his own brand,
which is duly registered, and he does
fully as much of his own work as any
boy Of six has done, even in the west.
This juvenile patriarch is d son Of
Zach Mulhall, well known through the
COW country. and his father is firmly
convinced that such another young
prodigy has not yet appeared in the
grazing lands. The young gentleman
was formally put in possession of a
herd some months ago. He has had
made for himself a little Winchester
rifle and a special revolver. With both
of which arms he Is said to be very
expert. The boy has his own bunch
of horses and hires his own help, of
course under the superintendence OF
his father. and during the present
spring he has every day ridden a line
of more than three miles about his
herd. This is a development of young
America which the herders in Texas
do not believe can be eqnaled in any
other part Of the country. The boy
is worth about $1,000 In his owD
right, and his profits viii not be less
than $500 a gear, which Is more than
fails 10 the lot ofthe average six ear
old.-Heleno Independent.

''skulking" or is holding off for more
pay.
Gilmore's arm is very sore from his
hard work, and in the last two innings
he pitched it was about all he could do
to get the ball to the plate. What he has
done to lame his arm no one call tell.

position has proved good thing, and
Irwin has been doing some very satis-

AS announced yesterday, the Washing
ton management has secured Childs of the
Philadelphias. The intention is it is said,
to play him with the Troys, and, if he de-
velops to transfer him to Washington. He
was given with bonus for Gardner, who
has been disappointment here. Gardner
was signed to play short, but soon proved
TO be inferior to the men already on the
team. The Phillies need second-baseman
badly, and Gardner will fill that position,

To-day the Eastern clubs of the League
make their first visit West. Philadelphia
is in Pittsburg Boston in Detroit, New
York in indianapolis, Washington in
Chicago.
Eight clubs can be arranged in 4O,32O
combinations.
The Athletic team is in anything but

Brooklyn, Gleason is suffering from an
ugly wound in the left limb, Stoyey has
q similar trouble, and Bauer's arm still

was brought to a Gloss yesterday. The
racing was good throughout, the favorites
and iielders sharing the honors equally.

club should at once secure Mr.. Sheridan's
services for the fall meeting.

and Wellington. All were favorites but
the last and he would not have been re-
