Last year there were 1928 miles.

mand of the Vienna fire brigade. The
appliance is lined with channels skin
and has an air 1ife-tube for use in cell
lars or in underground buildings when
on fire. The air-tube is spirally pro-
tected and cannot bend or split; the
end is attached to a manuel and the air
pumped through. The helmet is Sc
curely fastened to the shoulders by
two thin chains passed under the arm
pits.
1t was subjected to rigid examina-
ton in the court of the central fire
brigade in Vienna and made good i'm
preston on delegates from a number Of
European countries. The freproof
cellar which the firemen thus equipped
entered was full of the densest smoke.
The fire fighters had no trouble in re-
naming in the cellar for quite time,
while those who had no helmets could
only venture as far as the entrance. A
large number of English firemen were
present and the new helmet is soon to
be given a trial in the queens domain.

puzzle for good mechanical engineer
familiar with the tensile and other
properties of iron.
The keeper who found the bird first
felt the bars with his fingers to see if
they had been made out of soft metal
by mistake, but they were not. Then
he got a pair of plumbers plyers and
tried to bend them straight again, but
he had not force enough in his wrist to
do it. Then he sat down and wiped
the cold perspiration from his face and
looked at the macaw with a suspicion
that the bird must be supernatural,
while the bird sat as serenely as posi-
BILE, calmly returning his gaze. The
macaw is silent bird. He does not
talk like other parrots.
The keeper secured the window and
doors and went for advice and assist
ance. The macaw is back in its cage
now, but the bars are still bent just as
he left them, because there is not
pair of plyers in the garden strong
enough to straighten them. Around
the outside of the cage are the layers
VI IiiS tutSh WIG hSSl VI NhS hilu
used to sieve coal, hiding the bird al
most completely from view, except at
one corner left open to feed him.
The macaw's feat is the most aston
ishing thing that has been seen in the
garden since 1t was founded. The bird
is nothing but parrot of somewhat
extraordinary size, being over two feet
in length, and having head on him
probably larger than a big Florida
orange and an enormous bill for bird.
His plumage is dark and rather sub
dued in comparison with the smaller
parrots, but it is very handsome. Since
he twisted the bars of his cage the
keepers are wary in handling him for
fear he will get his fighting blood up
and take mans finger off, which he is
capable of doing.
What will be done with him has not
been determined yet. There was a
proposition to confine him in the new
bear pit, but it is probable that he will
be put in an outdoor cage for the sum-
mer, where the bars are as thick as
those used to confne the eagles and
vultures. The strength Of his bill is
marvellous.

No Doubt About the Grit of the Ex-
Empress of France.
While there are many shortcomings
of one kind and another to be laid at
the door of Empress Eugene, who has
just dispatched such superb chrisren-
ing robe, adorned with the priceless
lace that was used for the baptism of
the prince imperial, to the newborn
son of the duke and duchess of York,
there is one quality which cannot be
denied in her, namely, that of personal
courage.
The only occasion that can think of
when the latter gave way was when
the republic was proclaimed at Paris
after the battle of Sedan in 1870,
and even then there was considerable
excuse for her hurried fight. For not
only was she haunted by memories of
the fate of Queen Marie Antionette
and of the Princess de Lamballe, but
she had her nervous system wrecked
by many sleepless nights and great
anxiety, had, moreover, seen herself

Finding New Rocks I'm the Sea.

1t appears from the annual report Of
the photographer of the British navy
that two hundred rocks and other dan
gerous objects to navigation were dis
covered during last year-twenty-six
by surveying vessels, thirty-five by
other ships belonging to the navy,
twenty-five by British and foreign YES
sells, one hundred and five were report
ed by colonial and foreign govern
ments and thirteen'were discovered by
vessels striking on them. The resur-
veys Of Spithead, Pembroke and Plym-
outh sound have been going on, and

A Remarkable Shot.

A peculiar incident happened while
the Sixth regiment Of New York were
engaged in rife practice at the New
Jersey state camp at Sea Grit Lieut..
r. R. Albertson was trying to qualify
on the Northumberland range. On
his fifth shot three blackbirds few
across the range. The heutenant's
rife cracked and one of the birds fell.
At the same moment the signal target
indicated that the lieutenant had
scored four points, only one point from
the center. An examination of the
dead bird showed that the bullet in its
fight for the target had passed through
its breast.

A FEATHERED SAMSON.
Marvellous Feats Of Strength Per-
formed by a Captive Macaw.
The Athletic Bird Twists Iron Bars with
His Bin and in Various other
Ways Displays His Won
derfui Powers.

They have lot of wonderful animals
at the Zoo, but the most wonderful
of all just now is bird. He is
barred up behind three layers of
heavy wire mesh, such as is used
for coal sleeves, and even this is hardly
enough to relieve a constant feeling of
suspicion concerning him. The bird is
a species of the parrot known as the
macaw, and his native country is Bra
I'll. The warm breath of summer which
we have had several recent touches of
seems to have inspired him with a con-
fidence peculiar to any feature that
itself erects home, and the activity
of some of his exploits has surprised
the keeper of the aviary as well as the
officials of the gardens who have never
had the opportunity of seeing the ma
cav on his native heath.
He has only been in this country a
short time, says the Philadelphia Tele-
graph, and until few days ago had
sole possession of one of the row Of
cages along the eastern wall of the
aviary. In an adjoining cage were a
flock of talkative but peaceful cocka-
toos, with feathers as white as snow.
He observed them with comparative
Indifference for time, but few nights
ago he decided to make them a neigh
borly call, and now the garden is one
cockatoo less in its group of specimens
of winged creation. How it happened no
one knew until the next morning, when
yybap tho rpaoa w WOO q found In ba oDol>-
atoo cage, sitting comfortably on a
perch, while beneath him lay a dead
cock in the pit. The other cockatoos
kept themselves as far as possible out
of sight in a corner. Three bars of
thick wire partition between the cages
had been pulled out to make way for
the macaw's exit. Apparently this
man to do, but it is doubtful if q man
could have done it more neatly or com
pletely. -.
The macaw was not put back in his
cage. He was given quarters in q
private cage, a stout portable inclosure
about three feet square, with floor Of
galvanized sheet iron, and iron bars as
thick as an ordinary lead pencil. The
bars were supported around the sides
with cross pieces, or stringers of thick
iron, so that their length was not over
six inches in any part of the cage. 1t
was thought that the macaw was
pretty safe in that kind of cage, but
to make assurance doubly sure he was
placed in a small room in the corner of
the aviary and the door closed, which
proved a wise precaution. The next
morning the keeper of the aviary near
ly fell dead with paralysis to find the
macaw at large, perched quietly on the
top of feed box. The box was empty.
With his jaw dropped with conster-
nation the keeper, who had charge of
all the birds that ever came there in
the twenty years of the gardens exist
ence, stood and surveyed the scene.
The bars on the heavy iron cage had
not been pulled out as in the larger
cage, but they had been bent and al
most broken, leaving a space large
enough for the macaw to make hiseXit.
How he did il is still puzzle for the
GEOLOGICAL society to solve. if not

WOES oE The MILKMAN.

Try His Best, He Never Succeeds In Getting
back All His Bottles.
"The greatest trial of my life, " says q
milkman, lis bottles Yes, sir, bottles.
If it WASH t for bottles I'd want nothing
better. Other people never think of bot
ties. actually dream of bottles. It's
bottles, bottles, bottles-who's got the
bottles with me all the time!
''The most perfect system of book
keeping ever invented will not account
for bottles. When send out 100 bot
ties of milk in the morning, I'm dead
certain to lose track of half dozen. /
never look upon them bottles all again.
Never again, sir! The milks are cents
and the bottles are cents. But the peo-
pei who would scorn to steal milk will
keep the bottles. They think bottles
don't cost nothing, or they don't think
nothing at all.
"Some time ago lady was behind
about seven bottles and hadn't returned
any for a week. l know some people
get two or three days behind with their
empties, but / couldn't account for all
of these. While Twas thinking about il
and look over across toward her fiat
saw her maid chuck an empty out OF
the kitchen winder into the lot. And,
don't you know, went over there and
found whole pile of broken bottles
and two or three whole ones. They
didn't know any better. Now, there
was lady in the other day, and says,
'Ma'am, says /, I've got, you charged
with five bottles here.
What's that?' says She Il haven't
got any of your old bottles. You don't
suppose I'd steal milk bottles, do you?
When get to stealing, I'll take some
thing better'n old castoff milk bottles.
/ don't like your milk anyhow. It's
more'n half water, and I'm going to-
change
And she did change, and / lost a
good customer by the mere mention of
bottles. Some people keep their tea and
things in the bottles. You can't go and
search for them. You must take their
word for it that they amt got none.
They are supposed to return their
empties the next day, and they'll keep
them for a week. I'd have to have
carload of extra bottles to suit them.
Some of them just slap ON their empties
when the dumbwaiter comes their way,
and some other millrman goes off with
them. They don't care. And then,
when you call up for their empties,
they get mad as hops and svrsr they
sent them down-which perhS@ ~
did, but not to u.s.
And there's the servants that break
bottles and swear they returned them n
week ago, and their mistresses believe
them. It's enough to drive man to
drinkr'-New York Herald

The House of Hapsburg.

: Rudolph Won Hapsburg, riding to his
Swiss home from hunting, came upon a
priest carrying the sacrament to a sick
man. The priest on foot was stopped
by river. Rudolph Immediately dis
mounted, set the priest and sacrament
on horseback and led the steed by the
rein to the sick mans house. He de-
clined to take the horse again to daily
use, but gave it to the priest for the
service of the church. Remembering
this deed, Werner, archbishop of Mainz,
in 1878, procured the election of Ru-
dolph as king of the Romans and Kais-
err. Hence we have the source and
fount of the proud imperial house Of
Hapsburg. Schiller enhances the le-
gend in one of the best of his ballads,
der Graz Won Hapsburg." 1t may be
mentioned that the late heir to the i'm
perial throne of Austria was named
after his iIlustrious ancestor, Rudolph.
