Perhaps no birds spend more of their
lives on the wing than parrots and pig
cons, the latter being also among the
most graceful and rapid of the inhabi-
tants OF the air. In New Zealand a
species of parrot is found that, finding
its food entirely OH the ground, has lost
It's power of flight. 1t differs from the
rest OF the family only in this particular
ana III being almost voiceless.
Among the recent breeds of pigeons
Is the parlor tumbler, which has not
only lost the power Of flight, but has
very nearly lost that of walking as well.
It's queer motions when it attempts to
walk have given it its name, the
tumbler.

A Calculating Prodigy.

London Times.
NJ. Jacques Inaudi, the young Italian
who recently attracted so much atten-
ton in Paris by his faculty for mental
arithmetic, has arrived IN London, and
yesterday gave an exhibition OF his pow
erS at :he Hotel Victoria. About thirty
gentlemen were invited to meet him and
test his aptitude for solving, by a
mental process of his own. intricate
problems i'll numbers. The experiments
were as successful as they were surprs-
ing, NJ. lnaudi in each case giving the
required answers long before an expert
arlthmetlclan was able to work them
out on the blackboard. His memory for
figures appears TO be mainly auditive
He requires to have the numbers stated
TO him orally before he can make
them the basis of his calcu-
lations. If they are submitted to
him in writing he Invariably re-
SO fixed in his memory that he can re-
peat hundreds of figures in their exact
order, and while making MS calcula-
tions he can engage in conversation or
play dominoes. In addition and sub
traction he works out his re-
suits from the left. In multiple
cation lie decomposes the figures
into tens. hundreds or thousands,
and adds up the products of each sepa-
rate calculation in order to find the sum
total. Thus, in multiplying S34 by ST,
he would take, first, 500 by so, then 500
by e, 80 by Sc, and by Sc. This system
of decomposition, indeed, he appears to
apply wherever he can, relying upon
his prodigious powers of memory
for arriving at the correct result.
Other notable caiculators, such as Bid
der and MondeuX. are understood to
have operated mainly by means of Wis
ual images. NJ. Inaudi's visual faculty,
however, is of an ordinary kind. During
his Stay in London he intends to give
public and private performances.

CENTIPEDE VISITORS.
A Western Woman's Thrilling Ex-

peclence with Two OF Them.
Philadelphia Time
Last summer l had an adventure,
two OF them in fact, that do not care

centipedes grained access to our house.
One was seen in back room several
times, but all attempts to capture it had
proved futile. With incredible agility
it would Slip out of of sight just as we
thought we had it.
At last, one evening, just after lamp
light, l heard a scratching noise similar
to that a mouse might make. SuS-
pIclouS that 1t was my unwelcome
guest, l took the lamp 10 Investigate.
Sure enough, there it was, crawling

1t was the largest centipede l had
ever seen, perhaps i've inches in length
"a long. fiat, worm-like body, light
brown, with dark stripes across it, and
enough legs to give origin to the name

stick l had taken precaution to carry
and placed it firmly upon the iutruder.
1t squirmed and twisted, but held il

THE BUCkING BULL.
No COWBOY Has as Yet Been able
to Ride Him.

AZ
New York Sun.
johnson Bros, of Belgrade, Mont,
have a fine HOlstein bull, which has
been trained to buck from young calf,
and with experience and age has be-
come such an expert in the art that no
cowboy has been able to stick TO him
tor more than three jumps. and most OF
them are landed on the ground after
one or two jumps. The animal has
been so successful in throwing every
man who has attempted to ride him
that there is standing wager offered
tor any one who can accomplish the
feat. Many cowboys have come over
100 miles to ride, but so far all have
been YanquIShed and have had no de-
sire to try it a second time.
The last attempt was made by cow
boy named Pannell in the presence of
some 800 spectators. PannelI, who came
forty or fifty miles TO try his proves,
was very confident Of his ability to ride
the frisky animal. lie announced his
willingness to bet $50 that he could ac-
cOmpliSh the feat. ifunOr has 1t that
the young man has been practicing bull
riding for several months.
When lie came on the grounds TO
make The trial he refused to risk his $50,
and chose TO make an attempt Tor the
standing wager. At l p. III. the bull was
led out west Of town with two long
ropes Oh his head, with six or eight
men holding to each rope. The crowd
gathered mostly upon the lumber yard
near by. where they might witness the
performance.
The bull was blindfolded and the
work Of saddling him commenced. The
bull, not being entirely satisfied with
the programme. cut up few antics aud
delayed the operation. but soon he
quieted down and the saddle was ad-
juSted to the satisfaction of Mr.. Pan
nell, who at once mounted.
When his feet were well in the stir
rups and one hand claSped the buck
straps in the front and the other III the
rear OF the saddle. the word was given,
and the blind was taken from the BULBS
eyes. Then the fun began, and about
the second or third jump the rider
landed in the snow, an easy fall, with
out bruSe or blond. The shout that
went up from the spectators could have
been heard a half mile, and Pannell
retired from the scene a Sadder and
wiser man. The animal will be taken
to the Columbian exposition.
