The sight of Birds.

Birds arc commonly credited with an
extraordinary range of vision. Circum-
stances lend aid to the development Of
the mental factors in their case. The
usual distance at which terrestrial
species use their eyes is limited by the
ground horizon. But in the case of the
soaring birds, such rs vultcres and
eagles, the horizon, the natural limit Of
sight, is enormously extended.
MacSillivray early noted that though
birds Of prey have orbits Of great size
the oycball of The common buzzard be-
ing 1ia inches III diameter-they do
not, a q rule, soar when seeking their
Prey.
The eagle VIXEN hunting flies low,
just rs do tho sparrow hawk and the
hcrharrier. Yet the vultures and con-
doris, birds which admittedly do soar
when seeking food, have been proved to
find carton by sight. A carcass was
covered with canvas and some offal
placed upon it. The vultures saw this.
descended and ate it and then sat on the
covered portion within few inches of
Il putrid carcass. When 4 hole was made
in the covering, they saw and attacked
the food below. But the rapid congre-

SEASON ON THE STREAM.
The Diamond 10 Company's New Boat
RIplets.

The Diamond 10 Company's New Boat-
l. P. Lusk, general passenger and
freight agent Tor the Diamond 10
company, informs a reporter that
his company has fully determined to
build new boat this winter for the
keokuk and st. Louis trade, and that
the Gem City will be tasen to Du.
buque Immediately and dismantled.
The crew now bringing the St. Paul
to Keokuk will take the Gem City to
Dubuque. The new boat, which will
be side-wheel steamer capable Of
making three trips week between
Keokuk and St. Louis, will be built
at Dubuque. She will be a strictly
new boat throughout.
Mr.. Lusk also said that there was
a sufficient rise on the upper river to
justify the company in putting the
Sidney in the St. Louis and Dubuque
trade for few trips at least, and
that the boat would leave st. Louis
the first of next week. The Pitts
burgh is the only boat which is now
running in the service of the Dia-
mond 10 line, and her trips are con-
fined to the lower river. The st.
Louis exposition furnishes an extra
inducement to keep the Pittsburg in
the trade, otherwise she would prob
ably be withdrawn. Unless there is
a material rise in the river it is likely
that she will go into quarters for the
winter at the close of the exposition.

provcment now.

FREDDIE SCHMIDT FOUND.
Son Of a Distracted Minnesota Family Lo-
Gated in Rock Island

Son Of a Distracted Minnesota Family Lo-
Gated in Rock Island.
There appeared at the residence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Hull several
mornings ago a bright-faced little
fellow. who explained that an empty
inner feeling prompted his appeal
for something to eat.
From questions put to the youth
full hobo it was ascertained that his
parents lived at Faribault, MINI.
He said his name was Freddie
Schmidt, his age IS years. Eating
a hearty breakfast then Freddie de-
parted.
In perusing the Chicago Inter
Ocean, Mr.. Eu ! noticed sguib inf
quiring Of the whereabouts Of one
Freddie Schmidt, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Il. Schmidt, of Earibault, Mimi,
and the distraction his absence was
occasioning to his parents. Mr.. Hull
Immediately communicated with Mr..
Schmidt, and received a description
of the boy tallying well with the lad
whom he gave breakfast to.
Freddie Earning a Livelihood.
Running around the country ap-
parently didn't prove as represented
and Freddie skirmished about and
secured employment ut the American
house. where Mr.. Hull found him.
Freddie is an intelligent little fellow
whose appearance is that of a we'll
cared-for son, only he is gifted with the
flippancv and careless ways of many
OF his years.
"Bummed my way-how do you
SUPPOSE" answered Freddie to a
query as to his mode of travel at
the sheriff's Office yesterday. 81
Just wanted to see the country and
ducked. That's all"
1t appears that the cause of the
lads running away was to escape
sound thrashing which his father
promised him for shooting a play
mates dog with an air-gun. That's
4 great big still" said Freddie; IL
never shot the kids dog"
Mr.. Schmidt was notified of the
recovery of his son. and there is
much rejoicing in the Minnesota
home, from which Freddie has been
absent about q month. Baiiiif Hull
received the ne cessary money for de-
fragment of expenses aud the miss
ing boy was sent homeward last
evening.

REPORTED SPECIALLY For The LIGHT.
Regimental Quartermaster Ser
geant Murray has been ordered to
Kansas City as witness for the
United States.
DR.. Maus and Lieutenants Cor
don, Hays and Brookes have been
authorized to make a bicycle trip
to Austin, make map of the route
and report upon the adaptability
of the road for bicycle purposes.
1t is rumored that Forts Sill
and Reno will be added to the de-
partment Of Texas.
Twelve clerks have been author
lied for this department, but two
vacancies remain untitled at de-
partment headquarters.
1t has transpired at the court
martial of Surgeon Ewing, that
Hospital Steward Van Classman
made gift OF two horses to Sur
geon White, instead of one. Van
Classman is evidently big heart
ed kind of fellow and should
have been cavalry man instead
of a hospital steward.
Everything around the garrison
is in firsJ.c condition and
things present neat appearance,
but the board walk between the
post gate and the. corral still
threatens the anatomy of those
who are compelled to use it. Why
not have it taken up entirely be-
fore some one is injured 4?
Lieutenant Grey, of the Fifth
cavalry, has returned from a sue.
cessful hunt near the Medina. He
says the quail are very plentiful
and the shooting Is especially
good.
The new set of quartermaster
stables were turned over yesterday
by the contractor. Considerable
filling will have to be done before
the stable is ready for occupancy.
There seems to be an excellent
chance for the passage of the
twenty-five year retirement act,
with the proviso that man shall
be found physically disabled for
further service at the end OF that
time. Should it pass, it will prac-
tically retire the greater number
of men who have seen that much
service already, for theirs has
been OF the hardest kind of service.
