A Large Bird.

Several ancient bird tracks have
been found in a stone quarry ut Holy
oke, Mass. They are each eleven
inches in length. three claws to each
foot The tracks are four feet and ten
inches apart There are eleven tracks
In consecutive order leading up tho
hill. Each track is imbedded in the
stone ten inches. They are very
perfect; even the toe nails are distinct.
Several Eastampton men have tried to
buy them The owner has offered TO
get them out in good shape and deliver
them for 1000. Other tracks Were
found near by, but they arc not as

Chicken. by Wholesale.

q Ukian, Cal, man, the owner OF a
threc-story hop house, conceived the
idea OF turning the building into a
mammoth incubator for the Matching
of chickens. In q few weeks he had
the place in condition, and the furnace
was set to work on a setting of 5000
eggs. At the expense of cord and a
half of wood between 1.500 and 2, 600
chickens were chirping in the hop
house at the end of the period OF incu-
baton. This is not very good aver
age for a frst-class incubator, but it Is
thought that with the exercise OF more
care better results can be obtained.

Figs! cry The vendors of the fruit in Con

practice of those who hv to violent phys'ck-

such vast expedients. But no. let us not call
them eXpedients, for it Is by no means eN-

John n. Hutchinson, of Covington,
seems to be death proof From his
strange experience he was not born to
be killed. He has met with no less
than twenty-five accidents in the last
ten years. At the Sullivan gas pits in
Indiana in 1874 there were thirteen
men killed. He was a green hand and
escaped. He fell from the roof Of st.
Nlary's school house while it was being
erected. He dropped a distance of
seventy-flve feet and was badly in
iured lie was also hurt at the fruit
house, and fell from a church in West
Covington.
While walking on a railroad track
with two other men a train came along
and killed his companions. He was
stealing a ride with two other tramps
in Indiana. The train jumped the
track and the two tramps were killed.
He was hurt at the Dueber works
and IA dozen other places. Both of
his arms have been broken, several
ribs fractured, his head crushed, his leg
broken, and yet today lie is a pretty
good man-Cincinnati Enquirer.

An Inspection OF the tables makes it
evident, says the bulletin, that there has
been no extended movement of this ele-
meut since the time Of the civil war.
Indeed, with the exception Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the border states
appear to have lost rather than gained.
and during the last decade there becomes
p%erceptible a southwark movement OF the
colored element from the border states
into those bordering the guilt, particularly
into Mississippi aud Arkansas, where
they have increased proportiouatoly to the
whites. Let the states under consider
alton be divided into two groups. The
irst comprising Delaware, Maryland,
District Of Columbia, Virginia, West
Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri and Kansas, and the
second South Carolina, Georgia. Florida,
Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
and Arkansas. Now, the increase of the
whites 10 the first Of these groups from
1880 to 1890 was at the rate of % per
CGuN, Nnlle llhl VI tue tuluItu tltLltuI
was but SIS per cent. In the second of
these groups the rate OF increase of the
whites was Bis per cent, while that OF
the colored was but 1871 per cent. In
the first group the number of colorcd to
100, 900 whites diminished between 1880
aud 1890 from pc, FOL to 23.Oss, or 10 5
per cent, while in the second group it
diminished from l.456 to 1861, or
only 90 per cent. There is therefore a
perceptible tendency southwark of the
colored people. which, by no means
powerful, has resulted in drawing a
notable proportion Of that element from
the border states and in producing IN two
Of the far Southern states a more rapid
increase of the colured element thau Of
the white.

There has been discovered in the for
ests of India 4 strange plant which
possesses to a very high degree aston
ishing magnetic powers, and which is a
great source of annoyance to sportsmeD
and tourists. 1t has been named the
Philota ca electrical. The hand which
breaks a leaf from this plant receives
Immediately a shock equal to that
which is produced by an induction coil
At a distance of six yards a magnetic
needle is affected by it, and will be de
ranged If brought near The energy of
this singular influence varies with the
hour of the day. All powerful about
2 O'Clock in the afternoon, it is abso-
lutely annulled during the night. At
times of storm its intensity augments
to striking proportions. During rain
the plant seems to succumb and bends
its head during a thunder storm.
1t remains there without force or viz
tue, even if one should shelter it with
an umbrella. No shock is felt at the
time in breaking the leaves, and the
needle is unaffected beside it. One
never by any chance sees birds or in
sects alight on the electric plant; an in
stinct seems to warn them hat they
will find certain death there. 1t is also
important to remark that where it
grows none of the magnetic metals are
found-neither iron, cobalt nor nickel
an undeniable proof that the electric
force belongs exclusively to the plant.

The bone Luz, or the resurrection
bone, ~ is at the lower extremity of the
spinal column. The Jewish rabbis
taught that it was incorruptible, and
from it, as from n seed, the human
body would spring at the resurrection.
There is a Jewish tradition that the
Emperor Hadrian questioned a rabbi
as to the existence of this bone, and
vas convinced by the production of one
by the Jewish teacher. Various at,
tempts were made to destroy it. 1t was
cast into n furnace and came forth un,
consumed; it was stepped in boiling
water, but remained unsoftened; it was
smitten with a hammer, and the ham.
mer was broken. Some trace of the
former reverence for the bone is found

At the close Of the first half century
of the government, when, for instance,
Webster delivered his eulogy Of Adams
and jefferson, or his grafton at the
foundation of the Bunker Hill monu-
ment, there was no necessity of consid-
ering how TO stimulate and deepen the
sentiment of nationality. The vnst
Hood of foreign immigration with which
we are familiar had hardly begun to
rise, and an appeal to American patriot
ism touched every heart with the same
emotion. That day is passed.
The necessity and the consequent
duty of instruction in national history
and Of preservation Of the national
traditions are imperative. The funda-
mental truths that there is no liberty
without law, that every form of class
legislation is anti-republican, that edu-
Gated intelligence is a chief bulwark of
free institutions, that individual vigi-
lance and activity are the guarantee of
political progress, must be constantly

STOPPING ELECTRIC CARS.
Results Of Some Experiments on Boston''
Principal Line.


Principal Line.
Some experiments hat have been
made to determine the distances re-
quired to stop an electric a under or
binary circumstances, from various
speeds, have furnished interesting re-
suits as to the brake power Of street
ears, as appears by the annual report
Of the railroad commissioners. In max
ing the experiments the following con
diUiOns were observed A man with a
number Of surveying pins vas sta
toned on the step Of the rear platform
two observers with stop watches stood
upon the platform; n fourth gave the
signal for the driver to stop. With the
car running at a uniform speed, it was
necessary to determine-first, the rate
Of speed, and, second, the distance re
quired TO make a stop.
At a given signal the first stop watch
was started and a pin was dropped
upon the ground. At the expiration
Of ten seconds the observer with his
stop watch gave another signal and
stopped his watch. When this signal
wa given a second pin was dropped on
the ground, the second stop watch was
started and the signal given for the
driver to put on the brakes. When the
car came to rest the second stop watch
was stopped and n third pin was
dropped. The time required TO pass
over the distance between the first
and second pins showed the rate Of
speed The distance between the see
ond and third pins was the length Of
stop.
On a subsequent occasion the speed
was obtained by measuring the time
necessary to pass over the distance be-
tween given streets. This method Of
observation wa easy to carry out. but
was, Of course, not precise, and the
given lengths Of stop were slightly
greater than the distances passed over
from the time the brakes were actually
applied to the wheels, owing t the
fact that n fraction of "A second was
probably lost in giving the signals.
A great variation vas shown between
the different stops made. Surprising. -
say the experts, the friction to be the
same, the length Of stop should be as
the square of the velocity Really the
friction is less the greater the velocity,
so that the length Of stop should be
somewhat greater than In proportion to
the square Of the velocity. This was
shown in a stop in thirty six feet at G. 3
miles per hour, and in a stop in forty
eight feet at 1873 miles per hour in
stead Of a stop in IA feet, as it would
be according to the square Of the veloc-
ity; or If the stop in forty eight feet be
taken as "A basis Of comparison the stop
from six miles an hour should have
been made in twelve feet. The grades
in these cases were not greatly differ,
ent. Again, comparing two expert.
ments in which the speed wa nearly
the same, the stop on the down grade
was much better than on the up grade.

ter We're noticed boston Transcript.
