LANGUAGE OF THE HEN.
Many Different Calls She Has for Diff
fcrent Occasions.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The ordinary domestic fowl affords the
NEST positive evidence OF the possession OF
a language that is understood There are
many decidedly different calls, which II
taken down in photograph and repeated
in a hen house or yard would produce IN
teresting results. I need but mention
few calls to illustrate the range of sounds
in the domestic fowls. On warm day,
when hens are released from their coop,
when their minds are undisturbed ana all
nature looks bright and inviting, they sing
as they feed-a continuous repetition OF
kerr-ke KERR with various modulations.
The rooster never utters il, nor the mother
hen: it is the song of the happy go-lucky
of hen creation.
Now let hawk appear in the sky or
any disturbing element; an entirely differ
emf sound is heard. The hen stops, stretch
es her head upward, and with the cock
utters a decided note of warning in hgh
falsetto k-a-r-r-r-r-e! And If the enemy
still comes on it is repeated. and every
bird in the vicinity lowers its head and
runs to cover. The sound says in the
sallus language, An enemy is coming.
rum and run they do, the kerr-kerr-kerr
being discontinued only when all danger IS
past Note the joyous call of the hen that
has laid an egg. Cut-cut, ca-Ga-cut. comes
Off repeated from the hen house, and other
envious hens are informed beyond any
question or mistake that Mrs. Gallus has
laid an egg.
Now, when the eggs are Matched we have
other and maternal notes. There is deep,
monotonous cluck, cluck! that is a warn
ing to others and a general admonition of
the chicks to remain near. but 1T is not
call. Note the difference when the mother
or proud cock finds a worm. The cock APP
pears to be greatly excited, and he pre-
tends to Peck at it. make the guileleSs hens
believe that ne is about to deVour the bonnie
bouche himself; all the time he is saying
cut cut, outcome, come, come-rapidly,
which causes the hens to run pell-mell in
his direction, to find in many instances
nothing being merely a device to call the
flock away from some rival. But In the
case of the mother the little ones always
find some tidbit which she has discovered.
I will not attempt to produce the baby
talk of the old hen to her chicks, but it eX-
lists in g.eat variety, and is suggestive Of
tenderness, affection and solicitude. When
the hen has her brood beneath her ample
folds she often utters sound like c-r-a-w-
z-z-e Of half warning and contentment
And when an intruder enters the coop
after dark she utters a high prolonged
whistling note like w-h-o-o-e, softly repeat
ed, indicative Of wonder and slight alarm.
If now the fox or coyote or other enemy
seize her how quickly comes an entirely
different cry-a scream of terror and alarm,
c-i-a-i-a-i-o-u, repeated again and again.
and so full Of meaning that the owner,
some distance away, reaches for his shot
gun and answers the signal Of distress.

HORSES AND FIRE,
They Are Seized With Perfect Panic
When This Danger Threatens.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
The panic that is inspired in the minds of
horses by a phenomenon so strange as fire
can be understood only by those who have
witnessed fire in large stable where
numbers of horses are kept. The scene that
ensue5 is one of the most frightful that can
be conceived. The horses are rescued from
the burning building with the utmost diff
ficulty and only with most serious peril to
the lives and limbs of the rescuers. The
animals SO mad with fright, rear, kick and
dash from side to side so wildly as to make
an attempt at rescue as perilous as an ad-
vance on hostile battery. When rescued
they will often break away from these who
hold them and charge back at full speed
into the burning building. there to perish in
the flames. They resist every attempt to
take them out. They have been known to
tear their rescuers with their teeth to
throw them to the ground and trample on
them. to kick out their brains. AS the fury
OF the flames increases so does the panic of
the unfortunate animals. They scream out
in their agony as the fire reaches their
bodies, yet will they not for all that seek
safety in the open air. They are crazed
with fear, and yet remain TO be burned to
death when a ten seconds run would carry
them to liberty. But they never make the
rIu. and, as rule, are burned alive in the
stalls. where alone they seem to fancy they
can find security. There is but che way to
get them out, and that is to blind them
with some convenient cover such as coat
OF blanket, and thus, unable to see the
dangers about them, trembling In every
limb apparently ready to fall to the earth
with fear. they may be led out But the
cover must not be too quickly removed
from their eyes; In fact, it should not be
taken off until the animals are out of
sight Of the burning building, otherwise
they Will break away from the persons
leading them and in spite of the stoutest
efforts at restraint, will dash back TO per-

PORTABLE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
A Twelve Hours Glow From Storage
Batteries.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The experiments recently made by the
commissioners OF police on the Inames at
night with an arc search light deriving its
current from Skrivanow primary bat
terry, have been succeeded by the successful
adaptation OF that battery to portal bic glow
lamps for domestic purposes. To this end
a battery OF small size, but considerable
power is placed in the base of a lamp
standard, the glow lamp being mounted on
the top, in place of the ordinary burner.
Nest of the usual forms of duplex, mod
orator and other lamps of that class can be
utilized for this purpose. The special fea-
lures of the SkrivanoW battery are absence
Of fumes, small capacity and great electro
motive force, this being put at about one
and a half volts for each element, which is
only one inch in width.
In one example of the portable system
shown, a battery of twelve cells, each cell
measuring four inches deep by two inches
wide and one inch thick, was placed in the
base of the lamp. Each cell consists of
package of chloride of silver and two thin
zinc plates, weak solution of caustic pot
ash being added. This battery produces an
excellent light through glow lamp of
Italian make, and it was stated that the
light would continue thus bright for. twelve
hours. At the end of this time there would
be waste Of the elements, but the
chloride of silver would have become con-
yerted into pure silver, and would require
TO be reviviffed.
This is effected by washing 1t in solu-
tion of nitric and hydrochloric acid. This
restores the silver to its active condition,
and it is replaced in the battery ready for
use again. 1t is stated that after long use
the silver is just as valuable as when first
placed in the battery Several batteries of
various powers We're shown, each giving
an excellent light for it's size. We also eX-
amined very powerful arc light, equal, it
Is said, to go candles, produced from two
batteries, each ten inches long by eight
inches wide and seven inches high. good
portable electric light can now be obtained
from primary battery at little or no cost

into dairy lunch room recently and IN
vested ten cents in a sandwich and a cup
Of coffee. The room was well filled at the
time with bankers. government officials.
and merchants, who generally take their
MONDAY refreshments at that place. and
the appearance Of the well known free sill
yer advocate attracted considerable atten-
ton. The Nevada senator secured a cup
Of coffee and a ham sandwich and took a
seat next TO your correspondent. Imme-
diately a conversation sprang up as to the
cause Of the increase in the price Of sill
Yer. Senator Stewart said the advance in
the price OF silver bullion was not to an
advantage of the mine owners. as il is but
temporary and affects the bullion already
mined. He went on 20 say that the owners
Of silver mines are not opening up any new
mines al this time because of the hostility
towards the white metal by the present
administration. He says the next Presi-

says, do not intend to divide their strength
with the two prominent parties, but they
intend 20 concentrate their efforts to elect
Mr.. Sibley of Pennsylvania TO the presi-
doncy.
Hurriedly scanning the political horizon.
Senator Stewart proceeded to make a
forecast Of the presidential contest In
1895. He says Mr.. Sibley is the greatest
man who has aspired to the presidency
since Abraham Lincoln. He is more prac-
teal and better qualified to lead the sill

Benjamin GevIn Harris of Mary
land PASSES Away.
Baltimore, Md. April 5-Benjamin Gev-
inn Harris died at his home at Leonard
town, yesterday, of paralysis and pneu-
monia. MIR Harris was a picturesque
character of Southern Maryland. He was
born in 1905, graduated from Yale and
early in life took an active interest in
politics. Originally a whig, he Joined the
democratic forces during the Taylor ad-
ministration. Mr.. Harris represented mis-
district in congress during the civil war
His well-known sympathy for the south
ern cause more than once caused excite
ment on the floor of the House. His
expression in speech: Il pray God YOU
may never subjugate the south" caused
the late James A. Garfield TO move his
expulsion from the body.
The course Of Mr.. Harris in the demo-
cratic canon, which nominated Gen. Nc
Clellan for President, in knocking down
a New York delegate who insulted hin,
is too well known to need repetition. Mr.
Harris was anchored on the Fundamental
principles of states rights and would
not to his dying moment give up his con-
victions.
