The Sight of Birds.

Birds are 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 uso their eyes is limited by the
ground horizon. But in the case Of the
soaring birds, such as vultures and
eagles, the horizon, the natural limit of
sight is enormously extended
Macgillivray early noted that though
birds of prey have orbits Of great size
the eyoball of tho common buzzard be-
ing Ia inches in diameter-they do
not, as q rule, soar when seeking their
prey.
The eagle when hunting flies low,
just as do tho sparrow hawk and the
henharrier Yet the vultures and con-
dors, birds which admittedly do soar
when seeking food, have been proved to
find calrion 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
a putrid carcass. When hole was made
in the covering, they saw and attacked
the food below. But the rapid congre-
cation of vultures from distance to u
carcass is probably due to their watch
ing their neighbors. each Of which is
surveying limited area. Charles Dar-
win pointed out that in a level country
the height of sky commonly noticed by
a mounted man is not more than 15
degrees above the horizon, and a vulture
ON the wing at the height Of between
5000 and 1000 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 lowering
vertically over the hunter when he
killed his game. London Spectator.

A Railway Difficulty.

In regard to the difficulty of making
up lost time on railways a writer in %
foreign paper says: Thus, to take case,
ten miles to be run at go miles an hour,
average line, suppose the engineer is n
couple Of minutes late when no comes
to this length Of ten miles, which he
generally runs in ten minutes. If he
runs it at G5 miles an hour, he is then
only making up one minute in every
10 miles, and if he runs at 20 miles
an hour he makes up one minute
in every seven miles. He is probably
timed to make it necessary to do the
ten miles about as fast rs he can every
day, so that trying to gain even cou-
pie of minutes in this length is ont of
the question Again, if he relaxes the
speed ten miles, say, to fifty, he is los
ing time at the rate of one minute in
every five miles. Thus from speed of
60 an increase of ten miles only gains
one minute in every seven miles, but a
decrease Of ten miles loses ono minute
in every five miles. Power.

two to three feet, SO that the buyer,
standing ON the ground, is about on a
level with the seller, sitting in the

feet, and each has at the back a strong

the wares are shut at night, but in the

made silks are the staple-silks in
checks of pink and white, of yellow and
orange, of indigo and dark red. Some
are embroidered in silk, in silver or
in gold. Some are plain.
All are thick and rich. None is
glazed, and none is gaudy. There will
also be silks from Bangkok, which are
of two colors-purple shot with red,
and orange shot with red, both very
beautiful. All the silks are woven the
size Of the dress-for men, about 28 feet
long and 90 inches broad, and for wom-
EN- about feet long and much broader.

A VERY DANIEL INDEED.
n You Haven't the Money. You Can't Pay,
Decided the Policeman.

A policeman accomplished a delicate
piece of diplomacy the other afternoon
at Cathedral parkway and Columbus
avenue. Excavations are in progress
there for new building, and n gang Of
Italian laborers are doing the work un-
der the eye Of boss of their own
nationality. As the writer approached
the spot young Italian laborer was
angrily exchanging words with the
foreman. He carried his coat on one
arm and over the opposite shoulder was
slung his shovel, which he removed and
shook in the intensity of his gesticula-
tion. Suddenly he saw policeman near
by, and he made dash for the bluecoat
and asked for his assistance.
The officer came along with the Ital-
ian, and tho two joined the foreman.
The policeman, who was an Irishman
some 40 years old, wore magisterial
air, looked patronizingly and kindly
upon the two Italians, who spoke good
English, and then he listened gravely
to their tale Of woe. The boss had dis
charged the young fellow on the spot.
alleging that he did not do his work
satisfactorily. The young man wanted
his wages up to date. The policeman
thought that this was only fair and so
told the foreman.
"But l haven't the contractors
money" exclaimed the foreman. "Let
him go to the Office. His time is there,
and he'll get his money"
The policeman looked as wise as an
owl, and then turning to the young
Italian he thus delivered Judgment: :
"The best thing you can do is to go to
the Office and get your money. If he
(pointing to the foreman) can discharge
You on the spot, you ought to get your
money on the spot. But, you see, the
foreman hain't got it.
The policeman gave his thumb jerk
toward the street, the young Italian took
the hint and with sorrowful but re-
signed air started ON his mission TO the
office.
II think my view of the justice Of
the situation was right" said the Off
Ger moment later, "but how could the
fellow get his money from man who
didn't have it? Anyhow, Isaved q rum

Measuring u River with a Hat.

You will be surprised, no doubt, when
we tell you that man may measure
the width Of river or of any other
stream by means Of the brim Of his hat,
provided the ground ON his side Of the
stream extends back level for some dis
tance. Here is the way it is done:
The man stands facing the river and
pulls down his hat brim until the edge
Of 1t is ON an exact line with the edge
Of the bank ON the opposite side Of the
stream. Then, putting his hand under
his chin to steady 1t, so as to keep his
head in the same position, he turns
slowly around and notes where the edge
Of his hat brim cuts the ground ON his
own side Of the river.
The measure Of the distance on the
level ground will be the width Of the
river. Times.

A NEW JERSEY POKER STORY.
-Four Straight Fiushes Result In nm Equal
Division Of the Stakes.

A straight flush in the great Ameri-
can game Of draw poker is such rarity
that the person holding it is regarded as
one of the most fortunate and blessed of
mortals. Devotees Of that game will
peruse the following story with incredu-
lity, but its absolute authenticity can
be verified by at least ten thoroughly
reliable witnesses: A party of four play
ers entered place not thousand miles
from Summit one night not long ago
and prepared to enjoy few hours of
recreation at their favorite game. An
other game in progress at the time was
full, so the four players were obliged to
start at an adjoining table.
The "jack pot" came around, each of
the four players filed in, and the game
proceeded. The cards, regulation pack,
SO cards, were cut by the player to the
right of the dealer and dealt out in the
regular manner. The fhst player to the
left Of the dealer opened the "jack pot, !"
and each succeeding player in turn
raised. The limit was 10 cents, and the
players are usually light bettors, so
tlub tnc iuiSiiB anu hNsiy chippiiB III
before the draw created considerable
surprise. When the dealer prepared to
serve the cards for. the draw, each of the
players stood "pat," and the betting
again started.
When each Of the players had Clipped
in $40, it was decided to stop the bet
ting, as that amount had never before
been wagered on game in the place,
and none Of the players could afford to
risk greater amount. When the hands
were shown, some Of the players almost
succumbed to heart disease, for there
lay four straight fushes, one Of each
suit and all running from four to eight.
The pot was divided, and the cards
were carefully put away in a case to be
preserved as a reminder Of the greatest
poker hands ever held in this section
and probably in the United States. -
