Next TO our own flag that of Great
Britain interests US most. 1t is called the
union flag, because it is three flags in

WAppLINe PENGuINs.
They Are Ludicrous on Land, But Ao-
tive in Water.


The appearance Of the keeuer with his
pail Of live gudgeon is the signal Tor sud
den and intense excitement in the cages.
The penguins wave their little Hippers
and waddle to the door, whence they peer
eagerly down the wooden steps leading IN
the pool The cormorant croaks and
sways from side to side, and the darters
polse their suaky heads and spread thei 7
batlike wings. At the waters edge the
penguins do not launch themselves upon
the surface like other water fowl. but in
stantly plunge beneath
once below the water an astonishing
change takes place. The slow. ungainlv
bird Is transformed into a swift and
brilliant creature, beaded with globules
of quicksilver, where the air clings TO the
close feathers. and flying through tine
clear and waveless depths with arrowv
speed and powers of turning far greater
than in any known form OF aerial flight.
The rapid and steady strokes of the
wings are exactly similar to those of the
air birds, while the feet float straight out
level with the body, unused Tor propul-
sion or even as rudders, and as little
needed in its progress as those of wild
duck when on the wing.
The twists and turns necessary to fol
low the active little fish are made wholly
by the strokes of one wing and the cessa-
ton of movement of the other. and the
fish are chased, caught and swallowed
without the slightest relaxation of speed
in a submarine fight, which is quite as
rapid as that of most birds which take
their prey in midair, In less than two
minutes some thirty gudgeon are caught
and swallowed below water, the only APP
pearance of the birds on the sur
face being made by one or two bounds
from the depths, when the head and
shoulders leap above the surface for a
second and then disappear
Any attempt to remain on the surface
leads to ludicrous splashing and confusion
for the submarine bird cannot float, it
can only fly below the surface Imme-
diately the meal is finished both penguins
scramble out of the water and schuffie
with round backs ana dropping wings
back to their cage To dry and digest.

GERMANY's OLDEST RAILWAY.
1t Met with Many Serious Objections,
but is a Gold Mine.

DR.. Johenaeuser gives an account Of the
Oldest German railway, which was opened
in December, 1885, and ran between
Nuremberg and Furth Although the
Liverpool and Manchester line was then
in working order, the greatest difficulty
was found in raising the capital for the
new line, though only about ell 900 was
required. The most absurd objections
were raised, and in 1884 the shares were
30 per cent. discount
However in 1885, a Bavarian engineer
returned from America, and under his
care the line was commenced and finished
within eight months. The original share
holders were very handsomely rewarded
The traffic increased so rapidly that the
shares quickly rose to 500 per cent.
premium.
From 1885 to 1860 the line was worked
in the forenoon by horses and in the
afternoon by steam, the idea being to save
money. The working expenses were very
low, The manager was only paid 600 a
year and the traffic inspector $40 The
engine driver, on the other hand, who
was sent out by Stephenson, got 9l25 a
year, and was thus paid more than his
nominal chiefs. At the present day the
dividend paid on the share capital is p
per cent.

lodges may reorganize, however, upon
proper application.

Idea Peddlers in Chicago.



There are three men in Chicago who
make a fairly good living by marketing
ideas. That is their business Suppose
a man opens a new restaurant. The
idea" man goes into the place and says:
why not put up sign that you'll give
a dish of ice cream free to every red
headed MANI 1t would cause talk"
If the restaurant man adopts the sug-
gestion the idea" man expects to bepald
for it,
He writes poetry for soaps and patent
medicines and submits it to the proprie-
tors. If they like it he names his price.
At the big retail stores he drops in ana
confdes new and startling schemes for
advertising. He goes to the theatrical
manager and says: Here, wouldn't this
be a good catch line}"
Day by day he pokes into other peoples
business, and is well paid for it, because,
after all, there is nothing more valuable
than ideas Of the right kind.

Albino Bats.
From the Philadelphia Record.

from lub EulluuGlp nld hoCOIu'
'If you wish 10 know the most curious
thing ! saw during my vaction, it was a
colony Of white bats" said an Arch
street artist, just returned with others
from a sketching tour along the capes of
the Delaware. zone day We found in
the woods deserted old hut with huge
chimney, which we were told had been
an Illicit WHISKY still, and we made it
our headquarters and slept there one
night.
Judge Of our surprise when, at twi-
light, we saw numbers of white objects
tuttering in the air over our heads and
identified them, from their manner Of
flight, as bats. We traced them TO their
home in the dilapidated chimney
Whether they were natural albinos or ar
tifcially bleached by the fumes OF the
still was question that puzzled as con-
siderably. but they were bats-of that
we were all certain. One OF our party
thought they were covered with chimney
lime or ashes, but they were too intensely
white for that"

BATTLE WITH A DEER.
One of Pittsburg's Pets Prods Four
Men With His AntIers.
From the Philadelphia Pres

Pittsburg, Sept. 20.-There was a stag
party at Schenley Park to-day. SanKey,
the prize stag of the ZOO, was the star.
5arkey nearly tore the trousers from the
legs of James Burke, manager of the 700.
and used up Charles Harrison, the as
sistant. Two other men had to be called
upon to help in conquering the deer, but
all were ANONYMOUSLY driven off by the
animal. Sankey is kept in the lower pen
in Panther Hollow, the widest portion
of the park. A brook runs through the
pen; high hills loom up on both sides
Sankey has a bad temper. Barney
Lynch his regular keeper was absent TO-
day so Burke and Harrison decided 10
feed the deer. There was another stag
and several deer in the pen.
Two men took the feed to the animals
and started to walk away. AS Burke
was passing through the underbrush he
heard a noise behind him. He turned to
see Sankey charging toward him with
lowered antlers. Harrison ran 10 Burkes
help, The stag thrust one sharp antler
through Harrisons arm. Two carpen-
tiers, who were working in the vicinity,
heard the sounds Of the battle, and rush
ing down the hill found Burke on the
ground, while the deer was prodding
away at him with his Gntlers. The car
penters grabbed an antler apiece There
was a com bat at close quarters for a few
minutes. Several times all the men were
down with Sankey jumping on them.
Burke succeeded in rolling himself 10 the
fence Of the pen and squeezed through
under it. The others escaped in
the same way. Harrison's arm is In
bad shape. Sankey was left in undis-
puted possession Of the den.

THE BULGARIAN ELECTIONS.
The Ministry Will Have a Majority

Sofia, Sept. A,-The success of the Bull
Rarian government as represented by the
present ministry, in the present elections,
is remarkable. The returns show that
the ministry have carried ia seats in the
national assembly against 80 seats won
by all the opposing factions. The Rus
sophiles have met with a crushing
defeat in Northern Bulgaria and with
moderate success in the south.
Lankoff, the leader of the Russophiles, is
said to have been elected by a handsome
majority, but it is otherwise stated that
an opposition mob were in control of the
polling stations in his district and thus
prevented his election. 1t is believed,
however, that he has been chosen.
