KING BIRDS IN BATTLE.

The trout fishing season is only
few days old, and yet 6. A. Sheets of
Quigleyville has had an experience
that a whole summer does not often
develop, says the Jersey Shore Vidette-
Last Wednesday morning Mr..
Sheets rugged himself out for a days
sport and started for one of the
babbling brooks that the trout de-
light to haunt. While passing Coal
mountain, in the vicinity of Cogan
Station, his attention was attracted
by a connection some distance
ahead. As he drew near he observed
two immense birds engaged in a
combat. So intense were the COM
batants with the battle they APP
parently paid no attention to Mr..
Sheets, who was thus enabled to
draw quite near.
Prompted by curiosity at the
strange battle, the spectator hid be-
hind a tree and looked on with
amazement He soon realized that
the scene was unusual as well as
novel, for one of the birds was an

immense golden eagle, while the
other was a large hawk. 1t was a
battle for life or death, and while the
hillsides re-echoed with the screams
of the birds, and the feathers were
flying, Mr.. Sheets could no longer
control himself, especially as the
birds Topped around close to where
he was standing. He sprang from
his place of concealment and laid
hold of the eagle, which had its
talons so firmly imbedded in the
flesh of the hawk as to be unable to
extricate himself He soon succeed.
ed in subduing the bird and making
it captive In the meantime the
hawk died.
Mr.. Sheets succeeded in carrying
both birds home with him, and in
the presence of several of his neigh
bOrs made an eXaminatiO OF them.
The eagle was found to measure
seven feet one inch from tip to tip of
its wings and 2 feet from head to
tail Its talons were eight inches in
length. The hawk measured four
wings and was correspondingly
large.
The eagle was cared for and on
Saturday was reported to have fully
recovered from the effects of the fight
and gave indication of becoming
quite tame. 1t was ravenOuS and ate
freely of the food furnished by the
captor. Mr.. Sheets is very proud Of
the bird, which is very rare in these
parts.

MISCELLANY
EDISON'S LATEST.

Thomas A Edison. the famous
electrician and inventor, is preparing
to astonish the world, by the exhibit
he will make at the Worlds fair in
1898. Il shall have two or three
things to show" said he recently,
which l think will both surprise
and please the visitors to the cleo
trical department of the Exposition,
which, by the way, | am fully con-
WINGED, will be great success. Two
of these inventions are not yet ready
to be described, or even characterized.
The third however, is so nearly per-
fected, that | do not hesitate to say
something about it.
hope to be able by the invention
to throw upon canvas a perfect
picture of anybody, and reproduce
his words. Thus, should Patti be
singing somewhere, this invention
will put her full length picture upon
the canvas so perfectly as to ena bic
one to distinguish every feature and
expression of her face, see all her
actions and listen to the enhancing
melody of her peerless rOice. The in
vention will do for the eye what the
phonograph has done for the voice,
and reproduce the voice as well, in
fact, more clearly. | have already
perfected the invention so far as to
be able to picture prize fght-the
two men, the ring, the intensely inter
eSted faces of those surrounding it
and you can hear the sound of the
blows, the cheers of encouragement
and the yells of disappointment.
And when this invention shall have
been perfected" said Mr.. Edison with
the trace Of enthusiasm glow in his
face, "a man will be able to sit in his
library at home, and, having electri-
cal connection with the theatre, see
reproduced on his wall or a piece of
canvas the actors, and hear anything
they they say. l can place one so it
will command a street corner, and
after letting it register the passing
sights for a time, l can have it cast
them on a canvas so that every fea
ture and motion of the passers, even
to the twitching OF the face, can be
seen, and if a friend passed during
the time, you may know it. This
invention will be called the Kline
tograph.' The first half of the word
signifies motion, and the last write
and both together mean the portray
al of motion. The invention COM
bines photography and phono-
graphy."
Mr.. Edison occupied nearly an acre
with his exhibit at the Paris Exposi-
ton. As he wishes to show at Chi
cago all that he exhibited at Paris,
and numerous other things besides,
he is DESTROYS of being accorded a
greater space in 1898. The electrical
exhibit is expected to be the wonder
of the Exposition.

WHAT IMPRESSED MR. BARNUM IN
ENGLAND.

One of the most durable and con-
slant impressions that [ have got
from London, and from England too,
is the solidity there The English
people do not believe in shams or
sham work. Their docks and public
monuments, and all their public
works, express a sense of permanence.
They are built, apparently, to hold
the planet down, and to stay. If it
is a seat in the park or a Watering
trough you are noticing, it is no less
thoroughly made than the Thames
embankment. Indeed, the trough
and the seat will be found hewed out
of solid stone. l said, many years
ago, when | was abroad, that Paris
makes a thing t o last for day,
America makes 1T to last a week, but
England makes 1T to last forever.
They have good roads,-far better
than ours,-but they do not take to
light road wagons like ours. The
frames of some Of their vehicles are
as heavy as, if not heavier than, the
balloon frames we put III our houses.
And how ashamed it makes one of
New York to see, as one does in Lon
don. the smooth and well-paved
streets, and carriages going over
them equipped with rubber tires to
deaden the noise! Asphalt is now
the common pavement, and the one
most preferred, although certain
streets are macadamized in a fine
and thorough way. The asphalt
pavement becomes SO smooth that
the horses, when they go down a hill
over which it lies, do not lift up their
feet, but slide-almost skate-dOwn
the inclination. Their intelligence
has taught them that this is the
easiest and most practicable way.
On the other hand, horses that have
never been away from a prairie, or
extremely level country, do not learn
the use of the breeching on harness,
and go down hill, if they are ever re-
moved to a country of different topo-
graphy, without holding back, and
without knowing how From "A

What Did the Horse Seer

Skye, being driven along lonely road
in one horse cart Suddenly the ami

side OF the road, though there was
nothing in sight that could possibly

road being flat moorland for miles
However, nothing could induce the
creature to move forward until the

him past the Objectionable thing, what

The inventors, as class, are poor
men, and they could not afford to
work all their life in perfecting some
great invention, and SO along with
their main work they take up innum-
erable smaller inventions which often
realize good incomes for them. Ere
quently they stumble upon little inven-
tions in their work and study which ac-
cumulates for them Independent for
tunes. Accident has often brought
more money to them than the great in
vention which has caused them years
of profound study and experiment.
The patent Office is full of small sue
cessful inventions, which have realized
thousands of dollars to the inventors,
but as rule they do not bring fame and
honor. Small useful trifles, which are
ofuniversal interest, are always the most
valuable, and many benefactor to the
human race has been enabled to carry
on his study and work by means of the
money which his small inventions
brought him.-George e. Walsh in
