hands. "Am I to hear Of nothing but
this woman? Is she to confront me at

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY srARs1
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.


of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds Of Passage"
the Chautauquan says II one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer, he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge OF the unfaillng
stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap-
peared at the same time In our region,
even when the divisions Of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
Of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mlsts On starlight nights stray
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky Is overcast, when the night is
dark, but especially when a fine rain Is
falling, multitudes Of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose Of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers Of
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. %, 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowfiakes
against the lighthouse Of Heligoland,
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Heligoland. Toward the end of the
summer, along into the fall, 1t was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light Of street lamps,
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by It's call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull, occasionally hears
even the flap of their wings. But no
bird is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stare appear; then 1t Is that
the straying bird loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds in their migrations. But only the
future can tell us whether they really
serve in that capacity.

had thrown together, two had already
been united by ties Of love. 1t was
destined, however, that bond OF an
other sort should connect the Westma-
colts with the Hay Denvers.
Between the admiral and the widow
a very cordial feeling had existed since
the day when the old seaman had hauled
down his flag and changed his opinions
granting to the yachtswoman all that
he had refused to the reformer. His own
frank and downright nature respected
the same qualities in his nelghbor, and
a friendliness sprang up between them
which was more like that which exists
between two men, founded upon esteem
and a community of tastes.
"By the way, admiral" said Mrs.
Westmacott, as they walked together
down to the station, II understand that
this boy Of yours in the intervals OF
paying his devotions to Miss Walker Is

"Yes, ma'am and there is no man Of

The steel ring for generator No. Z

plant is now at the shop Of the West
inghouse company, and is attracting
q great deal Of attention from steel
men, as we'll as from electricians. II
Is regarded as one Of the very finest
pieces Of work ever turned out. It was
forged at Bethlehem, Pa. The ring Il
considerably the largest Of the kind
ever cast. It is II feet 715 inches in
diameter, about feet high and weighs
$4,000 pounds. 1t cost over $4,000. The
making Of the ring was an exceedingly
difacult task. A nickel steel ingot ~
feet In diameter at the bottom and 615
feet long was cast. A hole was then
bored through 1t lengthwlse. A block
Of the proper weight was then cut from
the ingot, and the cylinder thus OBJ
tanned was heated and, under q by
draullc pressure Of $4,000 tons, was ex-
panded to the present size. It would
be Just like cutting from lead pencil
q section half an inch long, boring the
lead out Of It and then expanding the
wood to q ring an inch in diameter.

II to Pieces.

Friday morning, Waterman Clifford
discovered the mang,ed remains, of some
unfortunate, scattered along the string
ers OF the Missouri river bridge, end
along the ties and rails, leading into the
cut on this side. From the appearance
of the track and ties, the man had been
riding the brakebeam of some train
across the bridge, and had fallen off and
been dragged from the west end of the
first span Of the bridge, for about an
eighth Of a mile, and had been literally
chopped into fragments by the wheels.
The head and part of the trunk we're
found in about the middle of the cut,
and from there back to the bridge, bits
of bone, flesh and clothing were scatter
ed along the rails. Every bone in the
body was broken and crushed, and the
head was the only part of the unfortunate
man which had escaped being ground to
fragments, and it, too, was badly enough
crushed to have caused instant death,
had there been no other injuries.
Coroner Webb was summoned, and
gathered up the remains of the dead
man, they having to be scooped up from
along the track, and placed at once in a
coffin, a mass of flesh, s%plintered bones
and bits of cloth hardly recognizable as
the remains of a human being.
No papers could be found, from which
to identify the dead man, although Sl.5O
in silver was found scattered along the
track, together with three packages of
smoking tobacco, and the remains of a
hand out. A scapulary, such as is worn
by devout Catholics, was also found
about the neck of the dead man.
1t Is not possible to tell the height of
the unfortunate person, from the fact
that the mangling of the remains was too
complete to give any idea as to height
or physical appearance. He had hair of
a light shade, and rather curly, with a
light moustache and wore a sort of light
brown suit of clothing with a small
check. His shoes we're we'll worn, and
Of a coarse and heavy description, such
as the ordinary pillow shoe.
From the manner of his death and the
appearance of the remains, he was prob
ably riding the beam of some train
across the bridge and lost his hold while
on the bridge, being caught and dragged
under the wheels, and thus ground to
pieces.
So far no n has identified the re-.
mains, which are thought to be those of
some tramp who was making his way
east. The body will be buried tomorrow
afternoon.

Mr. Smith Is Back.

Deputy Warden Murdoch Mckenzie
returned from Medora on the early train
Friday morning, havingi in charge James
Smith, who was one of the two prisoners
to escape from the penitentiary some
months ago. Mr.. Smith was taken at
once to the pen, and will be found from
now on at the old stand. After he serves
out his present term, and the additional
sentence which he will receive for the
escape, the people of Billings county
will take a whack at him for horse steal.
ing.
Smith was captured about fifteen miles
from Medora by Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Grozler. He had gone into the rustline
business and had accumulated five
horses, of various brands and owners.
When arrested for horse-stealine, he
gave the name of Richard Scott, add his
identity was not known. He was taken
to Jail at Medorn, and was recognized by
young Fred Roehm, who is in Jail there
for murder. Roehm was kept in jail here
last spring, at the same time Smith was
confined in Jail, awaiting trial. When
Rcehm saw Scott, he saw Smith also.
The Billings county authorities CORE
sponded with Warden Wilson, and found
Scott to be one Of the escaped birds.
Watkins is thought to be in the u
try near Medora also, and if he shows
up again will be arrested. Smith has not
talked much, but says he and Watkins
did not get guns at the capitol when
they escaped, but does say they had
guns when they were at Sperry's place.
Where they got them he doesn't say, and
the penitentiary authorities are endeav-
oring to find ont.

Bishop Walkers Report.

.. 1AS11o VV"AhOA o AAOPOA"
The following extracts from the report
of Bishop Walker to the general conven-
ton in regard to his work in this state
will be of interest: M
This report goes to the board from
the Cathedral car. It is again on it's
round. For q period Of nearly three
months it has been fitting from point to
point in North Dakota. In the course
of this group of visitations, I have
visited sixty.three different places, held
126 different services, and delivered 1872
sermon and addresses. I have baptized
thirteen individu als and confirmed
twenty-one. The aggregate of the men
and women attending the services was
between $500 and 5000. In these diff
ferept journeys hither and thlther I
~trayersed 3,172 miles within the state of
North Dakota.
Never before in my journeys have in
terest and enthusiasm been SO great.
The worship is even heartier than in the
past. The congregations are very heter-
ogeneous. Men in their shirt sleeves
have been present again and again.
Barefooted boys, colored people: Indians,
large numbers of the class of men de-
nominated "tramps," unbelievers, and
~agnostics have appeared at the services.
