ing q wood thrush In quiet grove where
1t was enjoying life in its own way, with
occasional spurts of song to enliven the oc-
casion, a catbird appeared on a branch not
very far from the thrush but little be-
low 1t. just then the thrush began to
sing. Instantly the catbird spread its legs
q bit, shook its wings slightly clear of it's
body, cooked one eye up at the thrush and
gave a cry that must have sounded derisive
to the dullest ear. The thrush stopped
short, and instantly the catbird took up
the thrush's strain in a voice that was
simply ridiculous. At that the thrush
eyed the catbird calmly until quiet was
restored and then started in once more on
Its song. Again 1t was interrupted by the
mocker, and this performance was repeat
cd third time, when the thrush gave IL
up and few away.

SMALLEST GUNNER KNOWN.


Though Not An Inch Long, He Fired . Gun
and Disconnected . British Colony.
Cape Town, South Africa, claims the
honor of giving birth to the smallest crea-
ture ever known to become gunner In the
royal artillery, or any other artillery in the
whole world. At the castle, Cape Town,
there is magnificent gun worked by cleo
tricity, Sased for giving the midday and
evening time. One fine day all the mill
tary and civilians in Cape Town were as
tonished TO hear the gun go off at 10:30 In
tho morning, an hour and q half before the
proper time, IL being the usual hour for
firing. Messengers came from the general
commanding the station the brigade ma
jor, commanding officers of each regiment
and battery stationed in Cape Town and
from everybody interested, but the answer
was that no person had been near the gun,
nor had anybody interfered with the wires,
battery or source from which 1t was fired.
All the officials were fearfully puzzled at
the extraordinary occurrence but could
give no explanation whatever. The gen.
eral in command of the station became
furious and said that there was misman-
agement somewhere and gave orders for a
strict search to be made by the officials for
the guilty party.
Search was made, but nothing resulted
to throw any light on the extraordinary
affair. although the greatest possible pains
We're taken to solve the mystery. They
had practically given the search up, when
suddenly the news came from the officials
stating that the culprit had been caught
and arrested. 1t seems the electric current
for firing off the gun Is supplied by the
Royal observatory Of Cape Town, and goes
there by means of an instrument known
as Selay that is In the central telegraph
office of the station, the distance being
about 300 yards. The action Of the current
going through the Instruments main
moves sort of light tongue, which is very
finely set, $50 fine that the least little thing
would affect 1T. This forces the current
directly into what they term the time
fuses, which have the power of firing the
gun at the castle.
On examining the instrument one Of
the officials found q big brown spider in
side. It.appears that while having an ex-
ploring trip around the instrument the
unfortunate spider must have touched this
tongue sufficiently to move it, and conse-
quently 1T fired off the gun. The general
commanding the station sent the spider to
the Cape Town museum, where no is now
to DO seen with a card underneath him en-
titlirrg him the Little Gunner" and CIV
ing full account of his adventure with
the Cape Town midday time gun, which
proved his last adventure, however.
