PAINS FIREWORKS.

All arrangements have been COM
pleted by the Pain Company for their
fireworks display at Mozart Park Tues
day evening of next week, and they
will no doubt be witnessed by an i'm
mense crowd The reputation of the
manufacturers has been fairly earned
by the magnificent productions which
delight thousands of visitors at the
Eastern summer resorts, and by their
famous display at the Worlds Fair.
If the present venture proves success
full from a financial standpoint, the
Pains will probably introduce one OF
their famous spectacles in Wheeling
next summer.

OPENING OF THE GRAND.
The House Crowded to the Doors - An
Excellent Attraction.

Excellent Attraction.
The opening of the winter amuse-
ment season at the Grand last night
attracted one OF the largest crowds
which have ever assembled in that
poDular play house. The standing
room only sign was out early. The in
terror of the theatre has been improved
in appearance during the summer by a
liberal application of color, new seem
erv. etc. and is now bright and coy
house. The season opened most aus
piciously. and Judging from the list OF
attractions already booked by Manager
Charley Feinler, it will be very pros
porous. m
The attraction last night was Nc
Nulty's Visit" one of the merriest
farce comedies which have ever held
the boards at a local theatre. The
plot. or rather what serves for a plot.
is cleverly constructed, admitting many
ouportunities for the introduction OF
clever specialties by members OF the
company. The cast is exceptionally
strong. The audience last night was
in a constant uproar from the rise to
the fall of the curtain. Crowded houses
will be the rule during this engage

Raymond Findlay, who plays the
confidence man in the revised edition
of The Dazzler," is as nimble with his
brain as he is with his heels, and any
one who has ever seen him dance
knows that this is saying a great deal.
He is certainly in the front rank of
eccentric dancers, and he is playing
the part in a way that shows him to
be a thorough artist. If he continues
to advance at his present rate, it will
be but a short time before he will be
doing good work in legitimate comedy.
He will be seen with The Dazzler' at
the Opera House on Wednesday even

Broadbent, Isabella, aged sixteen,
and Sallie, agedthirteen, volunteered
to assist. With their aid the gun
was rolled down the beach one and
sne-half miles, through binding
storm of rain and a hurricane which
nearly swept them from their feet.
After several attempts the life line
was shot over one of the masts of
the ship and secured by the sailors.
The life car was then rugged, and for
hours these two brave young girls
worke ed like men, until the last one
of the eighteen menof the crew was
safely landed on the beach. The
ship went to. pieces that night.
Capt. Svendsen and his men were
filed with gratitude to their res
cuers, and especially to the two
young girls who had braved such
wild storm TO save them. When they
returned to Norway they laid the
matter before their government, and
King Oscar was deeply moved by
the tale of heroism. He Immediately
gave orders to have prepared two
beautiful souvenirs, to be presented
to the two young girls in the name
of the people of Norway. These con-
sist OF two handsome silver lockets
with heavy silver chains, appropri-
ately inscribed, and inclosed in hand
some cases, with the royal arms Of
Sweden and Norway embossed in
gold on the covers. Each locket has

letters Of beautiful design the mono
grams Of the two girls-'1. b." and

are two richly engraved gold tablets,

ANIMAL VISION
Long Sight Not q Common Prop
erty Among Birds.
The Great Gray shirie Has Sharp Eyss--
Nocturnal Animals Have No En-
HANGED Powers When the
Light Ia Strong. t

| Birds are commonly credited with
an extraordinary range Of vision.
Circums tances lend aid to the devel-
opment 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
as vultures and eagles, the horizon,
natural limit of sight, is enormously
extended MacgillivraY early noted
that though birds of prey have or
bits of great size-the eyeball of the
common buzzard being one and one
eighth inches in diameter-they do
not, as a rule, soar when seeking
their prey, The eagle, when hunt
ing, flies low, just as do the sparrow
hawk and the hen-harrier.
Yet the vultures and condors,
birds which admittedly do soar when
seeking food, have been proved to
find carrion 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 a few inches of a putrid car
cass. When hole was made in the
covering they saw and attacked the
food below. But the rapid congre.
CATION of vultures from distance
to carcass is probably due to their
watching their neighbors, each of
which is surveying a limited area.
Charles Darwin pointed out that in
a level country the height of sky
commonly noticed by q mounted
man is not more than fifteen degrees
above the horizon; and vulture on
the wing at the height Of between
three thousand feet and four thou
sand feet would probably be two
miles distant, and invisible. Those
which descend rapidly, and appear
to have come from beyond the range
OF human sight, were perhaps hover
ing vertically over the hunter when
he killed his game.
There remains one undoubted in
stauce in which bird vision is far
keener than that Of man. The great
gray shrike, Lanius excubitor, is hab-
itually used by the men who catch
falcons at Valhenswaard to give mo-
tice of the approach of hawk. The
bird sees it far sooner than the men,
and at once gives notice OF its ap-
proach. This is single instance in
which the specialized acuteness Of
sight may be due to the fact that the
bird in question much resembles in
coler the pigeons, which are the fall
cons favorite food.
But long sight, says the New
York Ledger, does not seem com
mon property OF bird vision. The
gannets, which catch fish at sea, de-
scend from a considerable height.

Mrs from King Oscar.
On the night Of August Z, 1894,
the Norwegian ship Cathrine, Capt.
Svendsen, during fearful storm
which ragged on the gulf, was driven
broadside on the outer beach of Santa
Rosa island, one and one-half miles
west Of the life saving station. She
was discovered when day broke by
Capt. Broadbent, keeper of the sta
ton. The waves were breaking over
her, and the life saver knew that she
must soon go to pieces.
Under the law at that time. the
life saving crews were not on duty,
and only two or three OF the men
were at the station. There were
also two visitors, Col. j. A. Davis,
