A strange and Hairy Rird

This afternoon, one of our local scien-
lists showed us something in the way OF
a bird that beats anything we ever saw.
Our knowledge of science would not
make an encyclopedias, but we do know
that the gentleman's capture was some.
thing really quite wonderful. The bird
had no feathers, but was entirely covered
with a thick coat Of bristly black hair
On the back the hair parted, the part fol
lowing the spinal column almost on a
line. Its optics were SO ''pop-eyed" that
1t gave the bird a very comical appear
ance. The bill was almost blood-red, and
shaped something like a ducks, only il
is hooked on the end. The feet are par.
TALLY webbed and the toes are fitted with
long claws. just the kind of bird it is
we have not been able to find out. 1t is {

quently pointed out that to put a reform
atory uniform upon the juvenile in
mates of a reform school is to attach to
them badge of disgrace, precisely as
prison stripes indicate convicted felon.
The Whittier Pointer, referring to this
matter, says that the idea is sound, but
that at the Whittier State School the boys
will be organized into military COM
mands and have military training, as is
done in other schools. The lads Will
have a neat military uniform, with no
distinguishing feature of the reform
character of the institution. That is all
right, and the RECORD UNIoN's objec-
ton does not run against such. a policy.

IT is profitless to speculate concerning
the apparent filing of the desert sink
near Salton. There are equally good
reasons to suppose the water to come
from the Colorado River or from the Gulf
of California. In very few days now
the actual fact viii be demonstrated as to
the source of the supply. So far as topo-
graphical conditions are concerned, and
ancient water maks are worthy of con-
sideration, it is justifiable to suppose that
at one time the whole desert was an
inland sea, and it is not out of reason that
through natural causes it should resume
its former condition.

IT is announced semi-officially that the
Pope will not eoncede the demands of the
radicals set forth in the Cahensley me-
mortal. He is content to leave things as
they are in this country, so far as the
grouping of Catholics is concerned. The
Pope is wiser than we had thought him
or at least shrewder. He sees clearly that
to adopt the policy of the memorial would
be to plunge the church at once into sea
of trouble.

THERE has been no finer tribute paid
to the sovereignty of the American than
by Oswald Ottendorfer in the July
F'o1a1l, wherein he saws:
have a very lively remembrance of the
Impressions l received on the occasion OF my
arrival in the United States about forty years

American institutions, from what | had
learned of them in my college studies. The
ship that brought me over was scarcely las
ened at the dock before l ran up the nearest
street, and, standing. in Broadway near the
| Astor House, observed the passers-by. From
their appearance they were mostly men who
worked for a living, but nearly every one of
them bore himself as if he was Il sovereign
The eX preston of their faces seemed to say:
Il am second TO none: there is nothing so
great and so high that / cannot accomplish
it, and intend 10 fight my way" Not speak
ing English / saw that it would be impossible
for me to obtain a situation where | could
utilize the knowledge acquired during my
speak of, took few days later position as
q common laborer in factory, although i
had never done stroke of manual work i'll
my life before. After q few hours my fingers
were full of biiSterS. and in q few hours more
| the blood was running down my hands; butI
| had been inspired with the energy that / saw
! in the eyes of those men ON my arrival, and |
continued, not disheartened by pains or diff
cultieS in my work. / had received the bap-
tism of the real American spirit, and 1 was
never in my life so proud of anything as OF
the bltsters on my hands In consequence Of
my labor.
The citizens such men make are decided
