orator, while in the White mountains
a few summers ago. rs an inscription

Mrs. Beechor complied with Miss Will
lard's request. The grave OF Mr..
Beecher Is to the left OF the monu-
ment, leaving room tor Mrs. Beecher
TO be placed along side of her devoted
companion. The plot is neatly kept,
but no trees are on 1t. and Il substan-
tial fence, with granite side posts, sur
rounds it, and u zinc bench stands di-
rectly in front OF the gate on the path
for visitors. The grave is never with
out flowers, and the keeper states that
no grave is more sought for than Mr..
Beecher's, and that people at the en-
trance of the cemetery never complain
that they are compelled to walk
through the entire cemetery to
reach it. The Beecher plot is
on an elevation, and overlooks
the quaint Dutch village of Flatbush,
and the plot wherein repose the re-
mains of the first wife and eldest son
and namesake of DIR. T. Dewitt Tai
mage is close by it, only few rods
away. Thus the two famous preachers
OF Brooklyn will rest near each other
in Greenwood until the dawning of the
resurrection morning. People natur-
ally drift from Mr. Beecher's grave
over TO the Talmage plot. The ground
surrounding Mr.. Bee hers grave has
become exceedingly valuable now, and
commands an enormous price, and
leading members OF Plymouth Church
have secured every inch of 1t for their
last resting places. DIR. David Abeel.

Tho Last Resting Place of the Great
American Pulpit Orator.
Many strangers from distance,
representing all nationalties. visit Mr..
Beecher's grave at Greenwood Como
terry even in the cold wlntry days. A
Sunday or two ago n large number OF
the great preachers admirers wero
present and examined the plain but
solidly-built New Hampshire granite
tombstone which marks the last rest
ing place OF the great American pulpit
orator. A keeper is present every
afternoon and several of them on Sum
days to prevent people from coming
down the embanlsment which leads TO
the grave, in order that the grass may
not be trodden. Visitors come in car
riages and on foot and many beautiful,
fragrant flowers are deposited
on the still green mound un-
der which Brooklyn's loved citi-
zen so peacefully sleeps. Some of tho
women shed tears as they leave tho
plot and many cndeariug words are ut
tered. such as gentleman remarked
the other day to his wife while placing
some red roses and viqlets on the
grave: my dear, here rests one OF the
intellectual giants of the nineteenth
century" Another admirer-a woman
--exclaims: God be praised for Mr..
Beecher's teachings" Remarks re-
garding his goodness to all races may
frequently be heard by those who
linger at this now sacred shrine. On

tlons Represented la birds.
The study OF natural science is being
taken up more and more every year by
schools, colleges and scientists, or all
the interesting branches OF this sub
iect, ornithoIogy is perhaps receiving,
at present. most attention. The Acad-
emy OF Sciences has devoted several
consecutive meetings to the discussion
OF birds. aud the flight habits and in
telligence OF the mary different
species. Man, without doubt, will
some day overcome the forces OF nat
ure and propel himself through the air
by mechanical means, as now he does
through the water From earliest
times to the present he has been fasci-
mated by the possibilities OF flight, and
numerous attempts have been made TO
hnd some means by which TO fly, from
the wings OF wax and feathers to the
complicated machine of to-day. Near
ly all of the models used have been
based upon the flight of birds,
aud the shape. action and comparative
size OF their wings. Sea birds,
as is well known. have the greatest
power for sustained flight, many OF
them being able TO keep on the wing
for days at time, even sleeping while
sailing among the clouds, though when
they wish to do SO they fill their por-
Gus bones with air as we'll as a pouch
which extends along the neck from the
root OF the tongue TO the breast bone.
Another thing is the elasticity and
thickness of their wing covers, render
ing the expenditure of force less neces-
sary and thus by economizing the mus
cular tissue, making them capable OF
prolonged exertion. Whatever ma
chine may ultimately be used to fly
with will be based upon this principle
OF the seabird's fight, and more or
leas, that OF all birds, which is the
Of economical force for
and the power Of tighten
ing the body propelled. 1t is a notice
able fact that the shape Of the tails Of
the faster swimming fishes and the
wings Of the swifter flying birds are
based on the same pattern, which is
one conducive to the great elasticity
and lightness and scope for muscular
force, which In all animals OF this kind
comes mostly from tendons as taking
up less space and weight than muscu-
lar tissue. M Y. Tribune.

Largest Flume in the World.

The flume that conveys the water
from the mountains TO the reservoir at
San Diego, CAL, is 35 miles long, and
is made OF redwood. In the course OF
tho flume there are 315 trestles, the
longest OF which is /, 700 feet in length
and S5 feet high. This Is the Los
Cochos trestle. The Sweetwater
trestle is 1,200 feet long and So feet
high. The main timbers used in these
tresties are 10x10 and Sx8. They are
put together on the ground and raised to
their positions by horse power There
are eight tunnels In the course OF
the iluine. the longest OF which is 2,l0Q
feet in length. The tunnels are 6x6
feet in size with convex-shaped roof
ing. Each mile OF the 1ume required
on an average 100000 feet Of lumber
for its construction, and the red wood
used In the box is all two inches thick.
The San Diego flume is pronounced by
men experienced In such enterprises To
be the largest ever built in the world.

that at its conception many declared
that II could not be built. = Mechanical

| of the Pied Piper.
In the bake-shop were boxes OF bon

sugar mice aud diminutive tin fife;
and when, later, wandered through
the streets OF Hamelin, noticed that
every shop-window contained rats and
mice and merry-loohing pipers made
In porcelain, paper, bread or choco-
late.
The narrow by-way, on one corner
of which stands the wonderful old
house, is called the "Drum less Street."
for since that day of misfortune, six
hundred years ago, when the children
danced down this by-way to the music
OF their loved piper. neither the sound
of drum nor fife, nor any other instru-
ment, is allowed within its limits.
The old tradition OF the Pied Piper
has become widely famous through
two well-known poems, one by an
English, the other by German poet,
