GRANGE ACCIDENTS TO BIRDS.

A poor little chaffin was found dead
ar EPSON with it's lower mandible
- firmly imbedded in the shell of a
so.cbnut that it had been unable TO
a~tricate it and had died of starvation.
A hen pheasant was observed by a
.nortsman to be flying around and
around in wild manner. On being shot
!. was discovered to have large oak
lsaf impaled upon it's beale in such q
,sav as to totally obscure it's vision.
Herons sometimes choke themselves
nv attempting to swallow large trout.
An eider-ducl1 (has been killed by at
tempting to swallow toad. A king
Gsber was once found which could not
Av on account of having young pike
stuck in it's throat. Some hunters re-
moved the fish and the bird flew away
unhurt.
An Irish naturalist once observed a
dumlin acting in very curious manner
on the seashore. The bird would
alight, then fly short distance and
then alight again, violently shaking it's
head. A round lump appeared fastened
TO its beak. It turned out that the bird
had innocently attempted to investi.
cate a cookie which it had found open.
The shell had closed on it's bill.
Birds that employ hair in the build
ing of their nests come to grief in
strange ways. A gentleman who pos {.
sessed several colts one day noticed C.
small bird entangled in the tail of one
Of his colts. 1t had evidently been on |
search for hair and had become en-
shared Cases of birds getting their
feet entangled in wool or string are
well known, and death usually ensues

Gold to the Value of $3,5o0, 900 900 in
 Sight in South Africa.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-For several years stories of the fabulous richness of the South African gold mines have come from the Transvaal. They have been read with interest, but the gen. eral public attributed the immensity or the figures they contained to the en- ehusiasm of the writers. Within the past year or two, however, the investi- gatlons of trained scientists and the systematic working of the gold bearing deposits have not only proved the truthfulness of the published stories. but have established the fact that the lransvaai republic contains the most stupendous gold deposits the world has ever known.
 From the Transvaal mines last year was produced S100 900. 900 in gold-the largest amount ever produce in one year from single region in the worlds history-and the probability is that within few years the gold production from that region will aggregate S90O,- 0O0,0o0 per aunum.
 A few days ago Dr. George r. Becker, one of the geologists of the United States geological survey, re- turned from the Transvaal to his home in this city He visited the South Af- rican gold region in his capacity as mining expert in the employ of French-English syndicate That lit tie South African republic contains" he said, the most marvelously rich gold deposits ever discovered My in- vestigations were very carefully con ducted, and am quite within bounds when l say that within 15 miles of Johannesburg, on what is called the main reef se-ies, the gold that is prac- tically in sight is worth $S,5OO GOO, GOO nearly as much as the present vol ume of the worlds gold coin'

The Department May Detail Inspectors to
 Investigate the Most Offensive Cases.
 WASHINGTON. Oct 13.-The post office department has on file complaints against various postmnsters charged with taking too active part iii the campaign. AZ majority of the com plaints were sent to the president by citizens and in all of them it appeared that the officials were electioneering for Bryan and free silver. Early in tho campaign Postmaster-General Wilson sent to all postmasters an order of the president advising them not to become too active in politics Recently Michi- gan postmaster was removed for not ob- serving this warning. The latest com plaint received is against William s. Norwood, postmaster at Huntsville. Fla. No action has yet been taken against the late offenders, but it is possible that post office inspectors may be assigned to investigate the charges against the most fragrant cases.
