KILLED BY THE ENGINE.
Birds That Fall Victims TO the Locomo

Birds That Fall Victims TO the Iocomo-
tive.
To railway officials it is well-known
fact that the engines of high-speed ex-
presses kill small and large heavy flying
birds, such as partridgcs and grouse, in
great quantities, sometimes carrying
their bodies long distances. A few
months ago the writer was shown by
locomotive superintendent of one of the
principal northern lines dead bird
which, strange to say, though a very
rapid flyer, had met Its doom through
the agency of the iron horse This bird
was a sparrow hawk, and it is now
stuffed and may be seen in the Carlton
road board school museum, Keutish
town The driver Of the train relates
that he was travelling between sixty
and seventy miles an hour near Melton,
when just on the point of entering a
long tunnel he observed huttering in
front of the engine some object which
he at first mistook for rag, but when,
on leaving the tunnel, he went forward
he discovered, to bis establishment, that
it was sparrow hawk. which had be-
como entangled between the handrail
and smoke box of the engine, and was
held there firmly by the pressure of the
wind. 1t was not quite dead when
taken out Of this curious death trap,
though one eye had been destroyed.
There is no doubt that it met its death
accidentally, as a hawk can fly quicker
than the fastest trains travel-so tho
drivers say, who often observe them
flying low down In the hedgerow and
keeping up with the train till some I'M
wary small bird. frightened by the
noise. flies out of the fence, when the
hawk pounccs on it and devours it
This instance Of n hawk being killed by
q train on the aforementioned line is
unique, and will most probably be new

and then / listened to what the keeper
had to say on aviaries and the care of
birds.
$50 you want to know how to stock
an aviary? 1t is not an expensive mat
ter unless you put thousand dollars
into the fixtures. But neat outside
aviary twelvo feet high and fifteen feet
in length, can be constructed for n very
small amount of money. In the first
place, keep the north and east side
closed, SO that the birds can get the
sunlight from the south and west sides
Put as many plants into it as you con-
"enicntly can; if possible, tree with
great number of pcrches. AS to plants,
it really makes no difference what your
selection may be. for all can thrive in
an aviary. But be particularly careful
about the water. A little tank at one
side, into which fresh water continually
runs, is desirable. But if you have not
facilities for this, refresh the tank every
morning"
At the side build little covered
house, into which the birds can go dur
ing cold or rainy weather. On the bot
tom have plat Of grass and a good bit
of sand Birds like to battle in this
and many eat the sand.
Now, as to stocking your outside
aviary. Hardy birds should be selected,
and when you have picked out sixty or
seventy-fve you have practically
reached the limits Of your 12x15 aviary.
African fnches are about the only birds
that do not thrive except in a house

CITY WORK..
What Is Being Done on the vari-
Gus Contracts.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
city jail. E. L. Landing, who has tho
contract for doing the brick work, has
been quite i'll for the past two weeks,
which has necessarily made the work
slower than it otherwise would have
been. At present he is working about
fifteen hands daily and will increase the
force to-day. They are now at work on
the last story, and he expects to have
the building ready for the roof by the
middle of next week and to finish his
contract, which will then consist of
gable roofs and chimneys, by tho latter
part of the month.
Mr.. Hazel, the wood contractor and
general manager, will begin the frame
work for the roof to day and will put
the cells in next week. The Jail will
be ready for use by the 10th of August.
The foundation for the new wing of
the courthouse has been laid and work
on the walls commenced. 1t will be
used for the Circuit Court room and for
city offices. The building will be hand
somely trimmed with stone and will
cost about ST, 900.
=. A. Gillespie, the contractor, has
begun the work of putting in curbs, pre-
paratory to paving Jefferson street with
vitrified brick, from the railroad to
Campbell street. The brick have not
yet arrived but are expected daily.

are American thrushes wanted. They
never sing in cage. Avoid putting

gray African parrots are the best talk

In the aviary first talked of the nests

smaller, and it might be admissible to

bottom. Birds will not go into an open
nest.

the smaller species Mt SIS each, and the
rarer ones at SO to 5000. The latter is
the price for orang-outangs and Chin
panzees. But monkeys give a great
deal of worry and trouble, and it is per-
haps admissible to stick to the prettiest
