Falcons as Messengers.

Falconry may hereafter be restored,
as 1t seems, though not as a sport, but
as part of the terribly serious business;
war. A Russian officer; Captain Smi-
loft, has been tanning falcons TO serve
rs dispatch carriers. The falcon has
several advantages over the carrier
pigeon. Not only is he n more war
like bird than the meek cousin of the
dove, but he is swiiter in flight and
capable Of great endurance. The
greatest swiftncss ever known to be
attnined is fifteen tGcrman) miles in
the hour; but this ia the rate of the
ordinary flight Of the falcon.
D'Aubusson, in his work on the
"Falconry of the Middle Ages" tells
several anecdotes of the extraordinary
powers of the falcon and length and
swiftncss Of fight. For instance, a
falcon which wGa sent from the Canary
Islands to the Duke of Lerma, in
Spain, made the return flight from
k"!ai:::1:s ~ Tcnerine III sixteen hours,
which was at the express speed of six
teen tdcrman) miles i'll the. hour. A
German mile is not far short of Ave
English miles, so that the speed of this
fs!con must have been Mt tho rate of
aDout seventy miles an hour.
a further advantage of the falcon
over the pigeon is the greater weight
which it can carry. 1t is well known
that II very, slight burden IN an oppres-
sion to tho poor pigeon, SO that dis
patches nrc reduced in size by photo
graphic copies, in ordcr to reduce the
weight for tho feeble little carrier.
Captain Smoiloif says that he has
found TINT falcon can carry weight
Of four lsussinn pounds, or 1G4O grams
tthirty grams go to our ounce with
out diminishing lis power or swiftnesg
n flying. Besides, the carrier pigeon
may fall n prey to the falcon, while
there liz small danger of any other
bird taking the carrier falcon q
prisoner. Westminster Gazette.

What Every Man Is Worth.

An interesting exhibit Mt the Ma.
tionsl Museum shows the physical in
gradients which go to make up the
average man, weighing 154 pounds,
says the American Analyst. A large
glass jnr holds the ninety-six pounds
Of water which his body contains. In
other receptacles are three pounds of
white Of egg, little less than ton
pounds of pure glue-without which
it would be impossible to keep body
and soul together-43! pounds of fat,
st pounds of phosphate of lime, one
pound of carbonate of lime, three
ounces of sugar and starch, seven
ounces nf ac--;dc Vi calcium, SIX
ounces of phosphate of msgnesia and
a little ordinary table salt. Divided
up into his primary chemical. elements
the same man is found to contain
ninety-seven pounds of oxygen
enough to take up, under ordinary at
mospheric pressure, the space of a
room ten feet long, ten feet wide and
ten feet high. His body also holds
fifteen pounds of hydrogen, which, un-
der the same conditions, would occupy
somewhat more than two such rooms
as that described. To these must be
added three pounds and thirteen
ounces of nitrogen. The carbon in
the corpus Of the individual referred
to is represented by II foot cube OF
coal. 1t ought to be n diamond ofthe
same size, because the stone is pure
carbon, but the National Museum has
not such n one i'll it's possession. A
row of bottles contain the other ele-
ments going to make up the man.
These are four ounces of chlorine, 81
ounces Of fourine, eight ounces Of
phosphorus, 81 ounces of birthstone,
g. ounces of sodium. . ounces of po-
tassium, lilo Of an ounce of iron, two
ounces of magnesium and three pounds
and thirteen ounces of calcium. Cal
CHM, at present market rates, is
worth $500 an ounce, SO that the
amount of it contained in ono human
body has money value of $500
Few of our fellow citizens realize that
they are worth so much intrinsically.

WITHOUT FOOD OR FUEL.

Intense Suffering Among the Help of
 FIetcher's mill-They Must Apply to
 the Poor Department-They Want
 Work but Will Not be Allowed to
 Have It.
 PRovIpENcK, Dec. 12.-There have been no new developments in the strike at ol- neville which offer any prospect of a change in the situation being brought about within any definite time. Since the announcement that Fletcher would not oper his mills until the general strike is ended the whole matter is placed on the same basis that existed two months ago.
 There Is no likelihood of any action being taken unless the manufacturers do some thing to arrange for a general settlement. The executive committee of the strikers met this morning and held a session in which they decided to recall the commit tees appointed to confer with the several mills. This action was taken because the strikers are satisfed that nothing can be accomplished by dealing with individual mills. Weavers of the Weybossett and Riverside mills say they will not yield so long as they can exist, and that 1t will be a fghc to the bitter end. There is intense suffering already, and the present cold weather aggrsvates the situation, many of the families being without fuel or food and children are kept in bed because of lack of clothing or warmth.
 Fletcher's help will bs forced to appeal to the poor departments of Providence and Johnston on the ground that they are moi strikers and that they are willing to work. but cannot do so because the mill gates are closed against them, not to be opened until others, over whom they have no control settle their troubles with other mills.

PETITIONS TO CONGRESS.

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
 porter Has Sent to Every Woolen
 Manufacturer in the United States
 Petitions Against the Passage of the
 Wilson BilI Which It Requests
 Them to Sign.
 BOSTON, Dec. 13.-The American Wool aud Cotton Reporter sent out to day to every woolen manufacturer in the United States and every commission merchant handling woolen goods two petitions to congress, one or the other of which 1t re- quests them to sign. The petitions are as follows.
 ''We, the undersigned. engaged in the manufacture and sale of woolen and worsted goods, yarns and knitted fabrics and other products of wool, respectfully petition against the passage ofth so-oalled Wilson bill. We ask that the duty upon wool be placed at 25 per cent. ad vslorem, and that if the duty upon goods is to be ad valorem it shall not be less that 50 per cent. We fully recognize that the party in power is pledged to tariff reform, and that this reform Is immediately before us. What we ask is only justice and fairness 0ho ulscIinilhtiuB caIc HI tuo Ro-adJuSt- ment of the duties on our production, and as prompt action as is possible that our in dustry may be relieved of the uncertainty which surrounds 1t and which is so diaas- trous to it."
 The second petition is as follows:
 "We. the undersigned, being each and all of us engaged in the manufacture and sale of woolen and worsted goods, yarns and knitted fabrics, respectfully protest against the passage of so called "Wilson bill ," which provides for radical redue- tion of manufactures of wool, and which If passed in Its present form will, we be- Heve, prove serious blow to one of the most important industries of the United States.
 ''While admitting the positive need of the read ustmsnt of the tariff to conform to the proposed emancipation of the raw material, we assert that the Wilson bill is too radical; that the duties provided for manufactures of wool will not furnish us sufficient protection, and that they should be increased at least 50 per cent ad valorem. Unless this Is done all benefit which might be derived from free raw ma tsria1 would be lost, and in order to opsr- ate our mills the contribution which labor would be forced to make would of neces- sity be considerable. We fully recognize that the party in power are pledged to tariff reform and that this reform is i'm before us. What we ask is only j justice and fairness and discriminating care in the adjustment of duties on our production, and as prompt action as Is possible that our industry may be relieved | of the doubt and uncertainty which sur rounds 1t and which Is proving so disas- trous to 1t. l
