Birds That Make Queer Noises.

The bellbird or campanere, which Is
found in South America and also in AT
rica, Waterton, the famous traveller and
naturalist, states, can be heard at dis
tance of three miles. Its note is like the
tolling of a distant church bell, and is ut
tered during the heat of the day, when
every other bird has ceased to sing and ma
ture is hushed and silent How the bell
bird utters this deep, loud note is not
known, though it is supposed that a fieshy
protuberance on its head, .rhich when in
fatcd with air stands up iiae horn, is in
some way the cause of it.
The hornbill a bird which is widely dis
tributed in India, the Malay archipelago
and Africa, has also n very loud note It's
call has been described as "between the
shriek Of a locomotive and the bray of a
donkey" and can be heard distance of
about a couple Of miles. The barking bird
also utters very loud note; indeed, it is
impossible to distinguish it from the bark
of dog. Its English name, says Darwin,
is well given, for defy any one at first to
feel certain that small dog is not yelping
somewhere in the forest. The Toucar has
also the same popularity.

Sullivan and His Party Start to the
Fight,


KINGSTON, N. Y, Sept. 2.-The John
L. Sullivan special train reached here
last evening and proceeded on its way
to New Orleans, via Buffalo and Gin
cinnati. There was very merry party
OIL board, and all were enthusiastic in
their belief that Sullivan would be a
certain winner against Corbett. Matt
Clune, the proprietor of the hotel where
Sullivan stops in New York, was offer
ing even money up to 81 900 that John
L. would win in ten rounds. Among
those who were on the train besides
Sullivan and his handlers and hackers
were handsome Dan Murphy and Billy
Mahoney, of Boston; Jimmy Carroll,
the Brooklyn middleweight; Eddy Stod
dard, Frank White, Mike Costello,
Liney Tracey, Johnny Keating, ex-
featherweight champion; Joe Lanuon
and others.
All the way along the line crowds as
sembled at the stations and stared at
the train where it did not stop. At
Cornwall the train stopped for few
minutes and crowd of two or three
hundred men and women who gathered
at the station cheered at the forward
car. which had been fitted up as gym
nasium, until Sullivan and Trainer Phil
Casey went to window and sat down
to be looked at. Then the crowd gave
vent to round after round of applause.
Sullivan looked out and smiled, but
gave no further recognition of the COM
pliment. As the train moved off three
cheers for John L. Sullivan were given
with will.
Sullivan did no work in his car gym
nasium on the way up. He had done
considerable bag punching and running
during the day in Brooklyn, and it was
deemed advisable to let him have a
rest, especially as he was to pass the
night in sleeping car berth.

MISS BORDEN COMMITTED.
Judge Blaisdell Finds That She Is Prob
ably Guilty.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 2.-The
hearing in the case of Lizzie Borden,
charged with the murder of her father
and stepmother, was closed yesterday.
After the lawyers on each side had made
their arguments Judge Blaisdell said
that sympathy should be laid aside and
duty, stern duty, requires upon this
evidence but one thing to be done.
Supposing that man was concealed in
the chamber of Mrs. Borden, the
chamber of death, and that he was in
the room of the father when death
came; suppose that man should tell as
many different stories as Lizzie had
done, the way would be plain. II find
that she is probably guilty"
She was ordered reinanded to the
county Jail at Taunton for trial at tine
November term. All of the witnesses
were ordered to enter recognizance for
the November term of court.

Medical Knowledge I'm Novel;.

Wilkie Collins made q speciality of his
medical knowledge, and it was upon
this account that he was induced to un.

he published under the name of Heart

unsatisfactory both to the persons who
inspired it and to the general public.

A wonderful Air City.

Many stories have been written about
mirages and delusions, but none have been
more interesting and curious than that OF
the Silent City mirage, which makes its
appearance near the Pacific glacier in
Alaska. The discovery of this wonderful
mirage was made by the Indians, who
would tell of the city which was built in
the clouds. The mirage can be seen in the
early part of July, from 5 to p. m. 1t
rises from the side of the Pacific glacier.
1t first appears like heavy mist and soon
becomes clearer, and one can distinctly see
the specter city, well defined streets and
trees, tall spires, huge and odd shaped
buildings which appear to be ancient
mosques or cathedrals. 1t is city which
would seem to contain at least 25 600 or 30,-
OO0 inhabitants.
AS yet no one has been able to identify
1t, although several have claimed to recog-
nize the place. There is no city like it in
Alaska, nor in any country about it for
thousands Of miles. Some claim 1t is a
city In Russia, others say it is a city in
England, but none can tell where and
what it is. The mirage was given the
name of "Silent City," as it appears to one
like dead city; there is nothing that
would indicate it is inhabited Chicago

The white winged blackbird consorting
with the red winged seems to have been
observed by too many persons to permit an
explanation on the mere theory of alblno-
ism, extensively as that freak in "colora-
tion" among birds and animals is seen. A
correspondent Of ours, who is a good OBJ
server, makes IN important statement
when he says the white winged specimens
are smnller than the red winged. That
circumstance would seem to indicate diff
ferent species. Possibly there is an error.
At any rate, we will give the explanation
of an observer who has watched the phe-
nomenon of the white winged blackbir
with some persistence.
He says the white spot on the shoulders
or upper wing is due after all to the
curious effect of light reflected from a
ruddy surface when the wing is at certain
angles. In other words, IT is deception.
He elaims to have followed this out and
proved it. 1t seems to be fact that the
red place on the blackbird's wing does
change its appearance decidedly in certain
aspects during night; but we do not pre-
sent this theory as a conclusive explana-
tion of the appearance.-Hartford Times.
