NEWARK. N. j. January s.-What bid 70 r
TO be the greatest cocking-main ever held
in the East ended in failure at an early
hour this morning. The main was be-
tween birds from California and ostensibly
MaryIan birds. but in reality the western
birdswere pitted against the pick OF the
entire East. The understandable be-
havior of the men that backed the eastern
birds was the cause Of all the trouble. The
battles commenced in favor Of Maryland.
The Californians lost the first battle. but
won the second fight with ease. The
third battle was lost on technicality.
California had all the best of IT. and 1t was
100 to on the western bird. when An
thony Green. the handler. became excited
when the birds became entangled. and
when Referee Morgan ordered the birds to
be parted Green picked up the bird belong
ing TO the other side, and of course lost.
He knew the rules and took the matter
philosophically.

Curiosity Rebuked.

Aman was on trialin southwestern
State for a very grave offence. The
jury were slow in coming to an agree
ment, and many people were waiting
about to know the verdict. At thil
stage of affairs a colored bailif came
out of the jury-room and hastensd
down one of the corridors.
"Hold on! hold on!" called out q
man who was waiting. "Has the jury
agreed?"
"Yis, dey done agreed" said tn.
bailif, grinning.
"What's the verdict?"
"Well, boss" said the bailitf, "ys

on 'em wanted pie; an bum by dsy
done greed dey'd hab some crackefi

really the differences are not as ser.

Electric Locomotives.

An electric locomotive has recebtly
besp constructed at the works of the
Thomson-Houston Company, which
upon trial pulled eight loaded freight
ears about a yard in what is reported
70 be an entirely satisfactory man
ssr. The weight of the locomotive is
given as $4,000 pounds, and it's speed,
"when delivering 80 horsepower at
tho draw-bar, is about five miles an
hour" The machine was built for the
Within Machine Company for use
shout their works, and we suppose
there were some peculiar conditions
Ugesented which made such a machine
preferable to the ordinary locomotive
b this case.
Nothing, so far as we have noticed,
1as been given as to the expenditure
Ct coal required to do the work, or, in
ether words, the efficiency of the ma
nine; but upon the simple fact that
such machine has been built and has
drawn cars, we are again entertained
With predictions to the effect that
the days of the steam locomotive are
numbered. One electrical journal says
shat "the time will doubtless come
Yhen all railway traffic will be ham
died by electrically operated TRAINS"
and that, elm addition to the cheap
ness of construction of the electric To-
connective, as compared with the
steam locomotive, it commends itself
because expensive skilled operators
will not be needed to operate it," To
any one who knows anything at all
about railroading, this latter state
nent will appear ridiculous, in view
Of the fact that the modern railroad
engineer depends more and more upon
the machinist for that part Of the
work which must depend upon an in.
innate knowledge Of the machine and
1ss construction, there being enough
for the engineer to do who under
stands how to manage q train upon
the road, and get it to it's journeys
end safely and on time-knowledg e
which is largely Independent of the
particular kind of machine handled
h him. In short, a very large share,
y not almost all of the skill acquired
BY locomotive engineers would be re-
(uired just the same, whether steam
Or electricity were used as motive

Pope Lees Daily Life.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-The Rome cor
respondent to The Herald sent the fol.
lowing tc. his paper:
Much nonsense has been written
about the health of the Pope lately. I
have just had an interview with Pro-
lessor Ceccarelli. the famous surgeon.
who said, as regards the newspaper
stories about the health of the pope,
that they ara absolutely falsehoods.
"There wat no sending for me in hot
haste" said the doctor. CATER he had
received Duke Charles Michel of Neck
lenburg, and when I called at the vati-
can on Monday. I found his holiness a
little hoarse. I advised him to remain
in bed and rest for q few days.
"He received the members of his
household and several officials of the
vatican. He POT up on Wednesday and
Thursday and on Saturday he thanked
DR.. Lapponi and myself for our trouble
.'These newspaper stories originated
as follows: DR.: Lapponi and I are in
the habit of calling at the vatican once
a week, usually on Monday, and we go
there at five in the afternoon.
"On Thursday last We found him TAX
ing q little sleep. and forbade the serv-
ants disturbing him until he awoke OF
his own accord, which wat about 8
O'Clock. We then went into his apart
ment and remained conversing quietly
with him until about half past At 10
O'Clock we went home, but the police
and others seeing us remain in the
vatican + r such an unusual length of
time made a report. Accordingly 1t was
at once inferred that his holiness must
be seriously i'll, which was far from being
the fact. His general health is good,
and all that you read about his taking
bonbons, oaramels. eating dainty chicken
wings and SO on is pure nonsense.

is bis diet. He rises about 6. says mass
and then takes q cup of cafe noir. At
he dimes, which means soup, some vege.
tables. or at rare intervals fish. At 10
O'Clock at night he usually takes a b. wi
of broth and retires at II. He never
touches meat. He drinks wine, but is
very abstemious in its use.
ssWhen the weather is fine he walks in
the gardens of the vatican for half to
three quarters of an hour in the shade,
not in the sun. He takes no medicine
of any sort nor any medicated bath, ex-
cept the usual bath at certain times
that is all.
"As for work, he works like q young
man. Marvellous, ia it not at 822 BE

employing Q secretary. He has no
chronic malady of any kind, except
that of being 81 years Of age, and that

The Distance Of the Sun.

Many readers may have seen the
transit.of Venus in 1882, when the
sarth's beautiful sister planet, NOV
ing in it's orbit exactly between the
earth and the sun, appeared upon the
bright disk OF the latter in the shape
Of a round black spot-a world in
silhouette. Although almost ten
years have elasped, astronomers have
hardly yet completed the computa-
lions and discussions required to give
rs the best possible knowledge of the
suns distance that can be derived
from the observations made at that
time.
Professor Answers has recently
published the results of the observa-
lions made by the German astrono-
mers during both the transit of 1882,
and the previous transit of Venus in
1874. After carefully comparing the
measurement made on the two oc-
easions, and correcting, as nearly as
possible all the known errors, he
6nds Nr what is known as the suns
parallax, $3.50. This simply
means that half Of the diameter ofthe
earth as seen from the sun
would subtend an angle of eight
seconds and eight hundred and
Ghgty one-thousandths Of a Sec
end.
The distance of the sun, as indi-
Gated by the parallax given above,
would be 90, O59 700 miles. But ow-
ing to probable errors in the observa-
lions which cannot be corrected, the
parallax is uncertain to the extent Of
about one four-hundredth part either
way, so that the truedistance may be
as great as 92,289, 700 miles, or as
small as 81, 800, 700 miles.
This German computation makes
the SUMS distance somewhat less than
has usually been assumed in recent
textbooks ofastronomy. Other meas
ures based on the transits OF 1874
and 1882 have varied from $780,
900 miles up to SO, 42S 900 miles, the
number generally preferred being
about %, 1900, 900 miles: although the

lInsectivorous Plants.

In an interesting paper on insectivor-
GUS plants, read before the Royal
Horticultural Society, and now pub
lished in the society's journal, MI. R.
Lindsay refers to the experiments by
which Mr. Francis Darwin has shown
the amount of benefit accruing to

experience in the culture of Dion@a is

that insects are excluded fromthe on

or fed plants, are found to be stronger
and far superior to the former during
thefollowing season. Hepoints out the
Importance of remembering that the
natural conditions under which these
plants are found are different from
what they are under cultivation. In
their native habitats they grow in
very poor soil and make feeble roots,
and under these conditions may
require to capture more insects by
their leaves to make up for their root
deficiency. Under culture, however,
fairly good roots for the size of plant
are developed. "Darwin," says Nj.
Lindsay, mentions that the roots Of
Dlonsea are very small: those OF .

ined consisted of two branches. about

ly found Dion@a roots six inches In
length; but they are deciduous, and I
can only conjecture that the roots men
