the same instant the five floors and
roof Of that section Of the building
collapsed and fell to the basement,
carrying with IL ut least fifty persons,
who had not the slightest warning Of

GIANT BIRDS.
Prodigicus Winged Creatures That Ono
Inhabited Cape Horn.

Prodisious Winged Creatures That Once
Inhabited Cape Horn.
In that long, narrow triangle which
forms the southern extremity OF South
America, and which, since the hrss
visits of Magellan and other early nav.
lgators, has been associated In tho
imagination Of many readers with the
storms Of Cape Horn and the mysteries
Of TERRA del Fuego, biologists have
lately discovered the remains Of class
Of gigantic birds which, in many re-
spects, differed not only from all birds
now living, but from all birds that arc
known over TO have existed elsewhere
upon the globe.
These birds, Il Is believed, could not
fly, and their great jaws were SO like
those Of some four-footed beast that
when one Of them-an under jaw about
twenty-one inches In length-was ex-
hibited In England two years ago,
many naturalists would not admit that
It had belonged to bird at all, and
asserted that It must be the jaw OF
some animal resembling o gigantic
sloth.
More recent discoveries, however,
have proved that no mistake was made
In ascribing the jaw In question to .
bird. Specimens of entire skulls, and
Of other parts OF the skeletons, have
been found in Patagonia, which show
that long before the records Of human
history begin, and possibly before man
had made his appearance on the earth,
such birds inhabited that country.
Their leg bones were proportionate
In size and strength to their java
They had wings, but naturalists think
that these wings, like those Of the os-
trich, were not used for flight, but sim
ply rs an aid In running.
Gigantic fightless birds, some even
larger perhaps than those Of South
America, are known to have lived In
other parts Of the world, but there are
certain peculiarities OF structure which
separate the extinct Patagonian birds
from all others. This gives them Pc
culiar scientific interest, because 1t has
been found that many Of the four-foot-
ed animals inhabiting South America
In ancient times were unlike those OF
the other continents.
Such discoveries are as full Of mean
ing to the geologist, who Is trying TO
read in the records Of nature the his
tory Of the globe, rs are the ancient
inscriptions and human remains found
In tombs and caves and temples to stu
dents of the early history Of man.

HIS WORK FINISHED.
Sudden Death Of Eugene Field at
Chicago.
The Well Known Poet. story Writer and
Newspaper Man Dies Of Heart Trouble
"A Brilliant Career Prsma-
.turcly Closed.

CHICAGO, Nov. s. Eugene Field,
poet, story writer and newspaper man,
whose works were read and admired
In ull parts Of this country, died 10
bed In his home at Buena Park, sub
urb Of this city, about 8 o'clock yes
terday morning from heart disease.
Mr.. Field had been suffering for sew
eral days from severe cold and ycster'
day had been obliged to cancel an en-
gagement for public reading ut Kan
sas City to night No serious results
Of his indisposition had even been
thought of by his family and immedi'
ate friends
Last night Mr.. Field retired, after
an evening with his family, feeling ap.
parently better than for long time.
He Is supposed to have slept soundly
until day break when his son, who oc.
cupied the room with him, heard him
groan. The young man put out his
hand and found that death had al.
ready taken place.
Mr.. Fields family and close rela-
tives were at once summoned and the
news sent to this city where the dead
man had o wide acquaintance. The
announcement Of his death caused O
shock In all parts Of the city.
Eugene Field was the son Of Roswell
Martin and Frances Reed Field and
was born In St Louis, September O
1850. After finishing his education In
the state university Of Missouri in 1871
adopted the profession Of newspaper
writer, beginning with the St Loui,
Journal In 1872. His next connection
was with the St. Joseph (Nio.) Gazette
In 1875, after which he returned to St
Louis to take IN editorial position or

the staff OF the Kansas City Times, but
left that paper In 1881 to become man
aging editor of the Denver Tribune
He came to Chicago August, 1883, tc
accept position on the editorial staff
Of the Chicago Morning News (now
the Record), and his connection with
that paper continued without inter
ruption to the day Of his death. In
addition to his newspaper work Mr.
Field found time to perform much ex
ira labor in the literary field and
established q reputation as graceful
and clever writer OF stories and verse.
He was especially happy in his poems
and stories of Juvenile life.
Mr.. Field married October 10, 1873,
Miss Julia Comstock, OF St Joseph
Mo-, and had seven children. In June
1893, Knox college conferred upon Mr.
Field the honorary degree Of A. M.
