THE SCREECH OWL.
Mice Form Large Portion of the Foo
 of This Bird,

Mice Form a Large Portion of the Food
 of This Bird.
 The screech owl belongs to a group of birds that are readily distinguished from all other classes. Like most other families of the anlmal kingdom, some birds of one family usually grad uate into their allies in another with out any radical change in their ex- ternal characteristics; hence, to a novice, it is often a difficult task to mention the order or family to which a given bird belongs. Not so with the owls. Their peculiar conformation makes most representatives of their order unmistakably owls in the eyes of the most casual observer
 From time immemorial there has been in the minds of the ignorant a superstitious dread associated with the owl. It noiseless fitting by night, often in the most unexpected places, suddenly appearing and disappearing, have long gwen it place in popular writings with the spirits of those who have shaken off this mortal coil. In addition to the halo of superstition that surrounds this bird, its reputa- tion as chicken thief condemns all owls as public enemies, and ccnse- quently most farmers lose no time in destroying every kind of owl that ap- breaches the dwelling.
 The subject of this sketch is among the best known of the owl family Ever in search of mice and other yer min around the barns and garden, it is often met with and too frequently killed. The screech owl has long been famous for it's sad, tremu- lous notes which often resemble the cooing of a dove, but are rendered more melancholy by their utterance in the dead of night. From its low, mournful notes, as well as it's sluggish, sleepy appearance in daylight, one would expect this species to be an easy-going, inactive bird. However, such is not the case, for immediately after darkness conceals its movements the screech owl becomes one of the most active of birds, darting here and there with the energy characteristic of a sparrow hawk. A bird thus equipped, with keen eye and active, mufied wings, it's power for good around it's much favored haunt-the farmyard-is almost incalculable.
 All kinds of small animals fall an easy prey to this active little owl. It is especially fond of mice, which form large portion of its food. Many in- furious insects, as well as some small birds, are destroyed. The dissection of the stomachs of hundreds of these owls taken under all possible circum- stances goes to show that the screech owl is highly beneficial. In the months of May and June when it's hungry owlets must be generously fed it is less particular what food is procured, and young birds of all the smaller kinds are subject to it's at

tack. But here again the owls fond ness for the haunts of man has turned it's bird-catching propensities to useful purpose, and while in search of it's mouse diet around barns, far more English sparrows are discov- cred than native birds that mainly seek safety in the protecting branches of dense trees.
 The screech owl nests in hollow trees, where it is often compelled to spend most of it's time during the day. When once spied by any comnon bird, an alarm is given that brings all the small birds in the nelghborhood to the spot Thus surrounded by large hostile force, it. finds no peace until safely lodged in some hollow tree.
 A description of the bird is almost unnecessary, as it is familiar to all

The Simpletons, now novel by Thomas
Hardy, will be begun in the December Num-
Der, 1894, and continued to November, 1895.
Whoever may be ones favorite among English
novelists, it will be conceded by all critics that
Thomas Hardy stands foremost as a master
artist in fiction, and The Simpletons may be
expected to arouse enthusiasm not inferior in
degree to that which has marked Trilby-the
most successful story of the year. Another
leading feature will be the Personal Recollec-
tions Of Joan of Arc, by the Sieur Louis de
Conte. Her Page and Secretary, under which
guise the most popular of living American
maga zine writer's will present the story of the
Maid of Orleans. In the January Number
will appear profusely illustrated paper on
Charleston and the Carolinas, the first of
series of Southern Papers.
Northern Africa is attracting more attention
than at any other time since it was the seat OF
empires. The next velume of Harper's Maya
zine will contain four illustrated articles on
this region, and three Of them will depict the
present life there. Julian Ralph will prepare
for the Magazine series of eight stories, de-
picting typical phases of Chinese Life and Man
ners. Besides the long stories, there will be-
gin in the January Number the first chapters
Of A Three Part Novelette,, by Richard Hard

TO Reopen the massilion Mines.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 15.-The Massilon
coal mine operators took an important
step at meeting held here, looking TO the
resumption of work at their mines. There
are twenty-five mines in the Massillon
district, and they employ, when working
full, about 1000 men. 1t was decided to
form corporation, with a capital of 800
0,000, to which all the mines will be
transferred and by which they will be OPP
Grated. The object of the forming Of the
corporation is TO reduce the operating eX-
penses and to enable the operators to
make terms with their men, who have
been on strike since February. The opera
tors adopted new schedule of wages
based on the sixty cent rate adopted by
the Columbus convention.

The concessions made to the Schuylkill

There is no question that the Council

There is plenty room for the growth Of

purposes are plentiful.
With an active Board of Trade and
liberal offers of manufacturing sites, ETC.,
there is no reason why Pottsville should
not become a regular manufacturing
