Judge to a reporter the other any.

And there is good foundation sor the
remark. for no doubt there is a great
deal OF material that Il legitimate
news that never comes 70 the btice
Of the newspaper fraternity. The 1oi-
lowing conversation will illustrate.
though the class OF news that IL shows
to be concealed Is not of the kind most
sought by reputable newspapers. The
conversation took place between

this city and a Telegram Herald re-
porter. at the city hall.
'Well, Mr. Gladstone. what's new
today?"
''Oh. nothing in paticular." was
the reply. for n reporter never hears
any other reply to a direct question
as to the news.

It's Speed Under Water Half as Fast rs
That of Crow in the Air.
1t has been said that one of the strons
strokes of Nature was when she made thi.
''loon'-a bird which represents the wild.
ness and S0litarlneSs of the widest and
most solitary spots. 1t dives with sucl
marvellous quekness that the shot of tht
gunner gets there just in time ito cut across
a circle of descending tail feathers and
couple of little jets of water flung upwar,i
by the web feet of the LOOM Speaking al
this bird, Burroughs says that in the water
its wings are more than wings. 1t planges
into the denSer air and flies with incredible
speed. Its head and beak form sharp
point to its tapering neck. Its wings are
far in front and its legs equally far in q G.
rear, and its course through the crystal
depths is like the speed of an arrow. Ii

feet under water upon hooks baited for thu,

before? The river was like glass, and every
movement of the bird as it Sported about
broke the surface into rippieS that revealed
it far and wide. Presently boat shOP on;
toward the loon. The creature at once
seemed to divine the intentions of the boat
man and sided off oJliquely, keeping a
sharp lookout as If to make sure il was
pursued. A steamer came down anG
passed between them, and when thu
way was again clear the loon wa
still swimming on the surface. Presently
it disappeared under the water, and thu.
boatman pulled sharp and hard. In feN
moments the bird reappeared some rod
farther on, as if to make an observation.
Seeing it was being pursued and no mistake,
it dived quickly, and, when it came w
again, had gone many times as far as thu.
boat in the same space of time. Then j.
diyed again and distanced its pursuer SO
easily that he gave over the chase and rested
upon his oars. But the bird made a fina
plunge, and when it emerged upon the sur
face again it was over mile away. Its
course must have been, and doubtless was,
an actual flight under water, and half as
fast as the crow flies in the air.-Tbe Corn
