A Sparrow On a Spree.

In the yard of a Scranton bird student
pair of English sparrows began last spring
to get ready to go to Housekeeping
They took up their abode in a little box that
was fastened to tbs top of a pole. Other
sparrows undertook to occupy the box, but
the pugnaciOus first Corners soon drove them
away, and from that time on the plucky
pair fixed up their household and got every
thing in readiness to raise a family without
being disturbed by their apparently envious
neighbors.
When the industrious birds were nearly
ready to settle down to quiet married life,
an accident happened that caused a row be-
tween the pair. One day before the female
had begun to sit, her husband fitted away
and was gone a good deal longer than usual
During his absence the female busted her
self by flying from the nest to- the yard and
back, adding finishing touches to her house
hold and sprucing things up inside OF the
box. BY and by Mr.. Sparrow returned,
but he didn't look as neat and natty as he
did when he sailed away. In some way he
had lost all of his tail feathers while he was
gone, and his wife wouldn't have any
thing to do with him or let him enter the
house. He seemed to try to explain mat
tiers to her, but she wouldn't listen to him
at all, chirped at him spitefully, and fought
him, whenever he attempted to approach
her.
The student knew that the bobtailed bird
was the rightful husband by peculiar
mark OF his head, and he watched the re-
suit of the family trouble with deep inter-
est. For two days the unhappy husband
coaxed and begged his wife to treat him as
she had formerly done, but his pleadings
made her all the more determined to get rid
of him for good. All at once the bobtailed
sparrow disappeared, and has never been
seen around there since. The female con-
tinued to occupy the box, and inside OF
three days she got another husband, set up
housekeeping anew, and in due time hatch
ed out nest full of little ones.-N. Y San.

LOCOMOTIVES

The Rocket, George Stephenson
first locomotive, weighed four and
a half tons. The four locomotives
recently built by the Baldwin Loco
motive Works, of this city, for the
st. Clair Tunnel Railway weigh nine
ty-seven tons each. This covers
the growth in weight and consequent
hauling power of the locomotive in
sixty-two years. The revolution in
the steam railway business since its
first inception is not all included in
the growth of the locomotive, for
bigger locomotives and heavier
trains involved soldier road-beds and
heavier and better rail. Rails, which
were at first of iron weighing 40
pounds to the yard, have become
steel, and have increased in weight
to 68, SO, and even 100 pounds to
the yard. The road-bed, which at
first was clay in which the stringers
and ties were imbedded, has become
stone ballast thick enough to not be
affected by frost, food, or storm.
Where this increase in the weight
and power Of the railway locomotive
will end no one can foresee.-Ph5Za-
deIbhia Times.

Pluto's Safety Valve.

Two and a half miles south of the little
Mexican village of Las Hummettas in west
ern Arizona, in a low, sandy valley, flanked
by tall mountains, there is a hole about
three feet in diameter and of unknown
depth. from which dense cloud of smoke
and steam is constantly arising. For 100
feet on each side of the hole the ground is
moist and heated. Water collected in the
holes which has been dog in this moist
ground has the tendency to make one very
walkeful, besides giving the face, hands, and
feet paralytic numbness. Every evening
at Z o'clock large volumes Of sand are shot
from the hole, preceded by q roar that can
be heard for miles.
