SENATOR HILL'S SPEECH.
What Is Said in tho Senate in Regard
to II.


1t.
WASHINGTON, d. c., oct. 2L-Sena-
tor Unl's speech in Brooklyn last night
gave a ruder shock 10 Senate traditions
than they have sustained for some time.
The older senators have not been accus-
toned TO hear their methods Of doing
business 50 freely criticised by one Of
their own body and to an outside assem-
blage. which makes the matter worse.
The New York senator's remarks have
produced upon the extreme sticklcrs for
senatorial decorum the effect OF a douche
OF cold water on a frosty day. MIR. Ilil's
announced intention of continuing on the
floor of the Senate the fight he has begun
Tor a change of rules opens up prospect
Of very lively times and eflectualy dis
poses of any idea of a recess or adjourn
ment Of the extra session II any such an
ticipation was ever seriously entertained
Another feature OF Mr.. Hnrs speech
much commented upon around the Senate
chamber this morning is his hearty. al
most enthusiastic. endorsement 'of the
administration. This lends an air Of Veri-
slmilitude 10 rumOrs which have been
heard for several days past Of a probable
personal rapprochement between Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. HIN. These statements
have been received with some increduiity.
although close friends Of the President
have limited that n personal and friendly
meeting between the two great New York
leaders was on the cards and that the in
itiative in the matter had been taken by
Mr.. Cleveland himself. The gossip is pleas
antly passed from mouth to mouth with
an amused reference TO Senator Buffers
recently depicted imaginary meeting as
not so much outside the limits OF posi-
billty as II seemed when uttered.

a Dangerous Calling.

"Mud miners" is the term used to de-
scribe class of workmen employed to
labor in tunnel which is being built
as a conduit for gas under the East
river from New York to Brooklyn. The
pressure of condensed air is so reat in
the tunnel that even strong men labor
only two hours and are then taken to
the surface to recuperate. Recently
there have been several deaths in the
tunnel. So frequently have ambu-
lances been summoned to the entrance
that the police authorities are making
an investigation with a view to lessen
ing the danger to the workmen, who
are in future to be examined by ply

A Species That Has Become Nearly Ex-
tinct.
The parrot family is large one
More than four hundred species are rec
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, pacaws, loris, par
rakeets, as we'll as Tie parrots proper,
being included. OF this whole numb Der,
only one species is found in the United
States-the Carolina parrakeet, or as it
is often called. the Carolina parrot.
At one time and another the Carolina
parrot has been seen in more than
twenty states of the Union, New York
and Colorado being the northern and
western limits of it's distribution, so far
as these have been made out Its re-
markable hardness as compared with
parrots in general. is sufficiently evil
denced by the appearance of flock in
mid-winter at Albany, n. Y.
The birds were formerly abundant.
Audubon speaks of them as covering
stacks of grain till the stacks looked as
if brilliantly colored carpet had been
thrown over them. Unhappily, the
bird was destructive to grains and
fruits, and was itself destroyed without
mercy by farmers. Audubon had seen
several hundreds shot in few hours.
Nearly sixty years ago the Carolina
parrot was rapidly becoming less nu-
merou and now it is without question
fast approaching extinction. Accord
ing to Mr.. +. NJ. Hasbrouck, who has
recently treated the subject in the AUX,
it appears to be restricted to some of
the least accessible parts of Florida,
and perhaps to part of Indian Terri
tory.
Now that it is almost impossible TO
study its habits, it is found that there
are many serious gaps in our knowledge
of it.
Wilson and Audubon described the
birds as building nests in hollow trees
Later information, derived from men
who are not ornithologists represents
them as building in the branches of
cypress trees-sometimes as many as
small tree. As Mr.. Hasbrouck remarks,
it seems hard to reconcile the two sta te-
ments, but perhaps the parrakeet, like
some owls, nests either in hoilows or
on branches, as circumstances favor.
However destructive the parrakeet
may once have been, it is certainly de-
plorable that so handsome and interest
ing bird, our only representative of so
interesting family, should be perse-
:uted to utter determination Youths

Popularity In Greek Art.

Archaologists have observed that in
Greek statues the male eye is strongly
arched, while the female eye has a
rather fiattened surface; and referring
to accounts by the older anatomists
who have affirmed such difference to
exist they have seen in this a fresh
proof of the exact observation of ma
ture by the ancient Greeks. The rule
is not without exceptions, for the cornea
in the Zeus of Otricoli has quite fiat
form. Herr Greet recently set himself
to inquire whether such sexual diff
ference actually exists, and from indi-
vidual measurement of the radius of
the cornea in the horizontal meridian
he gets an average of 1888 nm for
men and 7S2 nm. for women (Donders
gives a. 5S and Z. 1897, so the difference
is so small as to be imperceptible to the
naked eye. Measurement of other di-
mansions gave but minute differences
also. The author concludes that the
Greeks from artistic motives) did not
