Four Footed Specie. of BIRD.

That there are still numerous chances
for the indefatigablo student and investi.
gator to make new discoveries may be
judged from the fact that the only known
species of four footed bird has been discov-
cred only quite recently.
This curious anomaly, which could very
properly be styled an Avis paradoxalis, )"
Is native of the Amazon river country,
Its principal habitat being the islands OF
Marajo. Ii Is only during the period of in
cubation, at which time the little embryo's q
extra legs and feet are seen at their best
and early birdhood that the four footed
feature Is ut all Observable. Like the baby
frog, which either sheds or absorbs its
tail, the four footed bird rids itself Of its
useless legs in the same manner, chicks
weeks OF age usually being perfectly free
from any signs of the extra members. The
ornithologists profess to believe that this
curious creature is q survival of some past
geological epoch. It's scientific name Is
Opisthocomus cristatus. The natives call
it the "hoaotzin," which means the "evil
smelling bird" IL Il also claimed that
there is not a carnivorous animal known
that will taste its lesh.--St. Louis Repub-

Action of Light Upon Water color..

Collectors Of water colors will do well 10
take note OF some experiments made in
England on the action Of light in the weak
ening and dispersion Of the coloring mat
ter in pictures. 1t was found that the sui
phides, cadmium, trisulphide Of arsenic and
indigo are prone TO fade from oxidation,
due to humidity, air and light. OF these
cadmium Is especially sensitive to the in
huence of moisture and will fade in n fort
night Ia damp air. Trisulphide Of arsenic
Is also seriously affected by damp air, but
indigo, while suffering from moisture,
shows no signs of deterioration when ex-
posed to dry air or an atmosphere Of car
bonic acid Certain colors are affected
only by light. OF these prussian blue,
which fades in carbonic acid as we'll as in
light, resumes It's former color in darkness
and pure air. The combined action Of
light and dry or damp air speedily deoolor.

The Peach.

Peaches are tonic, an aperient, a food
and drink combined. Or, to put it brief
ly, they are meat aud medicine A good
meal may be made on cut peaches, with
sugar and cream, brond and butter Aft
er meal OF this variety person will feel
more like attending to the duties Of the
afternoon than IL he or she INDUCED in
heavy foods. Peaches are good before
breakfast and after dinner. They are good
for the digestion, good for the blood and
good for the complexion. Some people eat
them without cream or sugar and with
good results. Tho fruit is 80 rich In sugar
and acid that IL preserves Its flavor long

Gratis Democrats nominated for Governor last
year because they couldn't get anybodv else
TO take the nomination, and who was beaten
! by about $1,000 votes, seems 10 be uncer,oin
whether he will jump in again. There
is no doubt that he is wanted. Matthews and
quincy and q. Fred Williams, and the whole
little Mugwump squad. are crawling into spb-
cellars trying TO dodge the wrath which they
know is sure TO come II the tariff bin becomos

Mr. Russell. To reach boldly out and
seize an honor that nobody elsa

The years OF the lean kline are the
only years ia which he is asked 10 do the
milking. But his is nature content with
little. II is enough FOR him 10 know tbot

approach him reverently and lay their honors

When the Duke Of Coburg and Frederick
Gerstaecker were travelling in Egypt they
were treated TO a wonderful exhibition OF
Arabian legerdemain, while guests at the
home OF German banker Of Cairo The
magician invited the travellers TO an open
terrace, and in the broad glare OF an after
noon sun tossed up number of transpar-
ent globes. These shining balls, each
about foot in diameter, totally disap-
peared from view at an apparent height
OF about 500 feet. According Co the won
-deFfal narration ef the -atihe, which tsaay
be found in his book entitled Under the
African Sun, these wonderful globes werc
as colorless as clear glass and had the ap-
pearance OF being composed of dry gum
arabic. Before tossing each sphere into
the air the artist would submit 1t for the
examination and criticism Of his distin-
guished audience After passing IL from
hand to hand until each was satisfied. the
wizard put it into wide nlouthed vessel
resembling a short handled dipper. and
then gave IL a fling straight upward into
the air. Each globe could be seen for
minute or two glittering and quiyerlng
against the blue Of the sky, when of a sud.
den it would disappear Us thoroughly and
as completely as if it had penetrated the
curtains of the heavens. Louis Re-

Illinois is to be pitied for her reckless
and senseless State officers Cursed
with Governor who dallied when he
should have acted, thus permitting mil
lions of dollars worth of property to be
destroyed, she is still further afflicted
with an attorney general bound to drive
away every industry from within her
borders.
Attorney General Maloney, after
having failed in his original proceedings
to deprive the Pullman Company of its
charter, has again renewed his attack
and will serve an amended bill of infor-
nation IN quo warranto proceedings on
officers of the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany. He claims that the company
runs "saloons on wheels" and manu-
factures bricks, neither of which is a
Legitimate part of their business.
Maloney is shining example of the
men who ought not TO be entrusted with
power, and his endeavors TO destroy the
Pullman Company can only result in his
own discontinue, though it may cause
the company TO withdraw from State
whose chief officials conceive that their
sole duty is to harass and badger the big
industries which now find home within
her limits.
