Where Wild Fowl Go.

Until the acquisition of Alaska by
the United States it was q matter OF
wonder where certain wild fowl went
when they migrated from temperate
climes on the approach of summer, as
well as snow birds and other small
species of the feathered tribe, says the
Sitka AlashGn. Itwas afterward found
that their habitat in summer was the
waters of Alaska, the Yukon River and
the lakes Of that hyperborean region.
A reporter recently interviewed c. j.
Green, Of Norton Sound, Western
Alaska, and he confirms the statement
OF Dali and others. People wonder
where the wild fowl come FROM" said
he. They see the sand-hill crane,
wild goose, heron and other fowl every
spring and fall pursue their unwearied
way, but, like the wind, they do not
know whence they come or whether
they go. Up on Golovin Bay, on the
north shore Of Norton Sound, is the
breeding place of these fowl. AL the
birds in creation, seemingly, 60 to that
country to breed. Geese, ducks, swans
and thousands upon thousands Of sand
hill cranes are swarning there all ths
time. They lay their eggs in the blue
stem grass in the lowlands, and if you
60 up the river little way from the
bay the noise OF the wild fowl is almost
deafening. Myriads of swallows and
robins are there, as well as millions OF
magnificent grouse wearing red combs
and feathered moccasins. This grouse
turns white as snow in winter. You
can kill dozens of juicy teal ducks or
grouse as fat as butter-balls in a few
moments. The wild fowl and bears
live on salmon berries, with which al
the hills are literally covered"
Flowers as Political Emblems.
One result OF the election has had 9
strange effect on the flower market in
Paris. Since the election the price OF
red carnations has gone down like the
shares of a bubble company. While
the white carnation is quoted in the
Marche aux Fleurs at the respectable
figure of l franc q dozen, the red Is
offered freely at no more than Z sous.
Neither in Paris nor anywhere else does
care to be identified with the
symbol of failure.

THE WATER-WORkS.

Most of the current reports concerning
the water-works have no foundation in
fact. The price of iron pipe has not ad-
vanced, and Mr.. Lang has not given up
the job. He has been in Philadelphia
and New York for week past to see
how soon pipe can be procured, the COM
mittee desiring to get a part of the works
in this fall, if possible. He writes the
committee from Philadelphia under date
of Sept. 10 that he can get enough pipe
there to make start on, but none of the
founders will guarantee anything as to
delivery on account of the condition of
the canal. He intended to come on to
New York that night and see what could
be done there.
LATER-Mr. Lang was in town yester-
day, having come from New York yes
day morning. He says the prospects for
procuring any great amount of pipe this
fall are not fiattering. Considerable
work preparatory to laying the pipe can
be done, however. He was here to make
additional measurements, so that he can
complete the specifi cations, which must
be gotten out in advance of the signing
of contract.

morning train north, going from the rear
forward, and when he undertook to get
of near the front end the train was going
quite fast. AS he alighted he slipped
and fell between the cars and the plat
form. The trainman saw him fall, Jump
ed off, and, lying on the edge of the plat
form, held Rich down till the train had
passed. Had Rich gotten up, as almost any

tried to do, he must haye been struck by
the car steps and badly hurt.
