CHICAGO, May 9-The Worlds Column
bian Commission has run out of funds.
1t had on May 4 q balance of just
81 ,012.29 TO pay salaries, rent, etc, for
the remainder of the fiscal year, ending
June 80. The monthly expense account
averages So, 1000, therefore it will have
81, 900 with which to pay off $40, 900
worth of debts. As Congress has made
no appropriation for next year there is a
probability that the Commission will
have to go around begging for pocket
money.

A ClOud Of Swallows,

Two days after leaving Port Said,
Egypt, says a correspondent of the New
castle Eng.) Chronicle, we had some
very unsettled weather. Date, April 80,
at p. M, latitude thirty degrees north,
longitude twenty-three degrees east.
Looking southwark, observed what ap-
peared to be small black cloud, rising
and coming steadily toward our steamer.
When l looked again few minutes
later, instead of seeing the cloud l saw
some hundreds of swallows. They flew
around our steamer several times, as
though undecided whether to stay until
the storm passed away or not. At last,
just before dark, several of them alighted
on the stay rim of our main funnel,
which was soon one black mass of birds.
The rain came down in torrents, and it
was pitiful to see those frail creatures
struggling with the wind and rain.
Those of them that could not find a
roosting place soon commenced to fall on
deck quite helpless. l picked up all
those that fell on the bridge deck and
lodged them in the chart room. Those
birds that fell on the fore deck were
sheltered in the foreGsstle by the crew.
The next day came in bright and clear,
with light westerly breeze, and all the
swallows took flight just at sunrise, fly
ing in a northwesterly direction. The
captive birds were soon set free, and
they followed in the wake of the others.
l may say all the birds we had were able
to fly, except one, and it died during
the day. Several dead ones were found
on the decks at daylight. These birds
had beautiful plumage, and fancy they
looked rather smaller than the swallows
l have seen in England. The captive
birds had goldeu-brown feathers just
above and below the beak and white
breast; back black feathers with blush
tinge; wings and tail brown, and four
round white spots across.

The Delaware Indian rs an Artist

Much might be said of the skill of the
Delaware Indian in all of the many
phases of his industry, but propose
only to speak of him as an artist. A
love of bright colors was always, and is,
a prominent characteristic, and probably
the first attempt at personal adornment
was the attachment to the person of
feathers aud small stones of bright hues.
Mica and quartz crystals are common in
graves. The glitter and glistening OF
these would he sure to attract. But

from formless masses objects that strike

needs of club head or hatchet called

proved upon. The same is true of chip
ping from flint points for arrow-shafts.
A mere splinter of stone, if sharp and
narrow, would be as effective as any
shape that could be devised; but such
chance splin ters do not appear to have
been used, except directly after the in
vention of the bow aud arrow; and, so
far as is now discoverable, q series of
artistically designed patterns have been
in use for hundreds of years. Popular

At the foot of cliff under the win.
dows of the Castle of Miramar, formerly
the residence of the Mexican Emperor
Macmillan, at depth of eighty feet
below the surface of the cler waters of
the Adriatic, is kind of cage fashioned
by divers in the face OF the rock. In
that cage are some of the most magnifi-
cent pearls in existence. They belong
to the Archduchess Rainer. Having
been left unworn for long time, the
gems lost their color and became "sick,"
and the experts were unanimous in de-
claring that the only means by which
they could be restored to their original
brilliancy was by submitting them to a
prolonged immersion in the depths of
the sea. They have been lying there for
a number of years, and are gradually but
very slowly regaining their former un-
rivalled brilliancy.

Prodigious Memory in a Child.

An infant phenomenon mas Deen dis
covered at Plaisance, a suburb of Paris,
in the person of little girl called Jeanne
Eugene Moreau, aged only five, but
endowed with most extraordinary
memory. She is walking encyclopedia on
all matters appertaining to the history of
France, and especially of the great Re-
volution; is an adept also in natural
history, and at the same time answers
without hesitation or error practical
questions about cooking, gardening, and
household management.
The youthful prodigy was born in
Paris in January, 1887, her father,
PHILIPPE Moreau, being an humble labor
er, but descended from revolutionary
hero whose name figures in the annals of
1889, and who was decorated by Gen.
Lafayette after the taking of the bastile.
Owing to the poverty of her progenitor,
Eugene Moreau was adopted by widow
Madam Calley-who, noticing the re.
tentive faculties of the child, cultivated
and developed them with assiduity until
the phenomenon has become capable of
passing stiff competitive examination
and Of putting to shame many school
boy and schoolgirl of maturer years and
more expensive education.
The fate of Eugene Moreau will no
doubt be that reserved for all intellec.
tual prodigies of tender years. She.w
be exhibited to scientific men and re-
portcd upon, she will probably receive
an offer from an enterprising Snowman,
and in all likelihood Eugenie, should she
survive academcal testings and public
examinations, will eventually settle down
to the life of a schoolmistress-a calling
for which her marvellous memory will
pre- -eminently fit her.-Lon1on Tele-

Water the roots of rose when the sun that

Sinks beyond distant hills, a circle Of

Give to the steed stall when the fight that
has proved his mettle
Is past, like the cyclones breath, or the
spell of tale that's told.
Nourish the roots of life when the hope
that lured it dieth
Slow beyond hills that rise all darksome,
and far, and grim:
Give to the soul that few, more lofty than
eagle-wing fieth,
A rest when the plumes droop tired---a
rest in life's twilight dim.

What the New York Posi- considers a
fraud of peculiarly abominable char
acter has come to light in Germany,
where a number of workmen and en-
gineers employed at the great Bochum
Association for Mining and Steel Foun-
dry have been arrested on a charge of
selling defective rails, wheels, axles,
etc., by means of system of forgery.
This material was supplied to the Ger
man State Railway, aud then some for
eign corporations. 1t appears that the
State Railway employed an inspector to
stamp such goods as had withstood the
regular tests. The incriminated work.
men are accused of having made false
stamps, with which they marked mater
ial which had not been examined; with
repairing holes, cracks, and other de-
fects in the rails with particular
cement, and so giving the inferior and
useless material the appearance of fin
ished work, aud with substituting re-
jected rails for those which the officials
had handed over to be stamped as sat-
isfactory, and marking the good rails
with the forged stamps. The incentive
to the frauds was the fact that the work.
men are paid premium on the amount
of work passed by the inspector. How
long they have been indulging in these
dishonest practices, how general the
distribution of defective material has
been, is still as uncertain as the possible
consequences of the rascality.
