EYES IN THE WOODS.
Expression of Birds and Beasts rs
Hunters Have Observed Them.

Hunters Have Observed Them.
From the New York Sun.
When a hunter tells how he got a close
shot at a head of game, partridge, or a
buck, a hen, hawk, or a woodchuck, his
description of what he saw never fails to
include the expression of the eyes. 1t is
the eyes of an animal more than any other
feature that one remembers.
A day or so after the deer season opened,
an Adirondack boy took his Winchester
and went deer hunting in one of the clear
ings long ago bandoned which are to be
seen all around the woods. 1t was clearly
in the morning when he got to the clear
ing so early that he could scarcely distin-
guish a poplar from a balSam tree. He
sat down beside a clump of elders at
place where deer sometimes come down
from the beech ridge above the clearing
to the creek below for a drink. The boy
was fortunate A deer, a small doe, came
down, and stopped ten rods away, just
as the sunlight touched the ridge top. 1t
was plain seeing then. The deer was look
ing right at the boy as his rifle came up
slowly. The eyes showed even at that dis
lance a marked curiosity. The gun was
fired. For brief space the boy saw the
deers eyes, then she turned and plunged
heavily away. The boy will not soon forget

showed in the eyes-such as one can see
plainly in a wounded deer's eyes as 1t
swims in a lake near boat or watchers
island The boy found the deer later She
had been shot through the lungs, had run
a short distance, then laid herself down
and curled herself up like a dog going to
sleep.
Squirrels eyes, being small and snap
ping, have an odd appearance, which
woodsmen call playfulness. The woods
men call a weasel's or mink's eyes
mighty ugly" though they are small and
black OF the weasel family the skunks
eyes are least vicious. The partridge has
a sort of a puzzled look in its eyes when 1t
has been scared up into tree by dog.
as If wondering how 1t came to fly away
from a beast like that so precipitately.
Those who have seen wolves eyes speak
of them as little and crafty. The fox looks
out Of the corners of his eyes without
turning his head as he trots past some
one he has met Unexpectedly. II has been
asserted that snakes eyes have hyp-
motto influence over its prey Certain 1t
is that the eyes play very important
part in the unexplained phenomena OF
charming birds and beasts. One of the
curious experiences which few, II any,
of the hunters have escaped Is the feeling
that something, they do not know what
is looking at them. AS the hunter walks
along this feeling comes over him. lie
casts his chances about, getting decidedly
nervous to think of what may be after
him-a panther, a she bear, perhaps.
Sometimes the beast whose gaze seems
thus to be felt has been seen. There are
dozen authentic tales where panthers
have so followed men, their trails being
seen after the men had fed to camp. Hun
ters tell how deer have started off on the
jump. though the beasts could have neith-
er heard nor seen nor smelt the men.
They, too, seemed TO feel they were fol-
lowed.

THE cITY's NEW ENGINE HOUSE.
The lyman Property Titles Ready TO
BE TranNferred

The matter of the titles to the lyman
property, at West Broad and Indian
streets, which the city has decided to
purchase for an engine house, will be de-
cided very shortly, City Attorney Adams
having returned to the city. In all prob
ability the transfer will be made in
few days. The price which the city
agreed to pay is $4,000, conditioned upon
certain improvements and alterations be-
ing made by the present owners.
So well satisfied are the fire commission
ers that the deal will be completed that
they have already practically decided up
on the improvements to be made, in or
der to convert the property into an en-
CINE house.
The new engine house will divide honors
with the present headquarters on South
Broad street, even if the headquarters are
not transferred there altogether.
Chairman Grayson informed a Morning
News reporter yesterday that a commo-
dious office would be fitted up for the
chief on the second floor of the building
which office will also be used by the COM
missioners for their meetings The chief,
he said, would divide his time between
the two offices, spending probably the
time from 10 to IL o'clock a. m at the Of
fee on South Broad street, and from ~
to O'Clock p m. at the office at Indian
and West Broad streets. The Office of the
chief at the present headquarters is small
and cramped, and there is no place for the
commissioners to hold their meetings,
hence the reason for fitting up more ex-
tensive accommodations in the new en-
CINE house
There will be no transfer of apparatus,
however. There will not be room at the
new engine house for more than the
equipment needed in that To-
cality, consisting of an engine, truck and
hose wagon. Commodous sleeping quar-
ters for the men will be arranged on the
second floor

chang and party arrived in this city at
Has o'clock this morning, accompanied
bv the United States army officers who
are escorting the party about the coun-
fry They came direct from Washing
ton in a handsomely appointed Pullman
vestibuled train of seven coaches. All
night and this morning drizzling rain
fell and when the party arrived, 1t was
coming down in torrents.
Upon arrival at the Cataract house,
which was headquarters, the party re-
tired to their rooms, the whole second
floor of the hotel having been reserved
for them.
About $3.50 o'clock the start was made
TO see the falls. The rain had ceased and
the sun was shining brightly. Thousands
of people filled the hotel corridors, veran-
das and the street outside. The falls
reached, the viceroy watched them for
a short time, his face bearing a curious
expression. He turned to his interpreter
and addressed him. The latter said: His
excellency is very much delighted and
greatly impressed"
Next the party were driven to the power
house of the Cataract Construction Com
pany, where they saw the monster 5000
ergy of the Niagara river.
Ii spoke through his interpreter in
glowing terms of American enterprise.
and said the sight was the most interest
ing he had seen on his travels. He in
quired the cost of the work and the rev.
enue and other things.
The party then returned to the hotel.
The Interpreter said Lii marveled much at
the American railways, saying they were
the greatest he had ever seen. He was
asked if Ii would, upon his return to
China have the English engineers who
are building a railroad in that country,
adopt the American system, he said he
certainly would. This important an
nouncement was received with much en-
thusiasm by the many prominent men in
hearing distance.
At the power house Ii held out his cane
mas, and it was hit by a projection and
knocked out of his hand like a fash He
was startled, but said nothing. He came
near being badly injured by the occur
renee
The party remained in this city tonight
and will cross the river at o'clock to-
morrow morning. They will be escorted
from here by Sir H. G. Jolly de Lothbin-
iere, ex-prime minister of Quebec and at
present member of the I1aurier cabinet.
and Sir w. c. Parmalee, Chinese agent of
Canada.
The Canadian Pacific has sent a special
train of six cars to take the party through
Canada from Niagara Falls, Ontario to
Vancouver.

Fire Commission Ready For the In

A Morning News reporter met Chairman
Grayson at headquarters yesterday af-
ternoon and asked him if the fire COM
mission had any objection to comforting
with the committee from the Southeast
ern Tariff Association, which, it has been
announced, will visit Savannah shortly.
Certainly not" he replied. 1--WE shall
meet them in the most pleasant spirit pos
sible, and shall take great pleasure in
furnishing them with all the information
they desire concerning the fire depart
ment, if it be In our power to do. If they
have any reasonable demands to make or
provements, which can be made without
comply with their requests"
II can hardly believe" continued Mr..
Grayson, that there Is any foundation
for the report that the Southern Tariff
Association will send a committee here to
demand the removal of the fire chief, and
that they be allowed to name a chief for
the Savannah fire department. l think
we are capable of managing our own af-
fairs yet awhile, and that no committee
of outsiders will presume to dictate who
our city officials shall be. 1t would be
a severe reflection on us that we should
have to go outside of Savannah for a
head of our fire department, and l. for
one, shall oppose anything of the sort,
should such demand be made"
