THE ORGAN BIRD.
He Is the Most Remarkable Songstcr of
the Amazonian Forests.

The banks of the streams in the vicini-
ty of st. Paul's, in the Upper Amazons,
in South America are dotted with
almthatched dwellings of the Indians,
all half-buried in the leafy wilderness,
the scattered families having chosen
the coolest and shadiest hooks for their
abodes. The traveller frequently hears
in the neighborhood of these huts the
organ bird, the most remarkable
ests. When its singular notes strike
the ear for the first time, the impression
cannot be resisted that they are pro-
duced by a human voice. Some musical
boy must be gathering fruit in the
thickets, and is singing a few notes to
cheer himself. The tones become more
fluffy and plaintive. Sometimes they
resemble the notes of a fageolet, and
the traveller is almost persuaded, in
spite Of the absurdity of the thing, that
some person is playing that instrument
in primeval forests. However closely
be may scan the neighboring thicket,
no bird appears, although the voice
seems to be that of some one near at
hand.
The bird is rarely, if ever, heard in
the Lower Amazons. 1t is the only
song-bird that makes an impression on
the natives, who sometimes rest their
paddles while voyaging in their small
canoes along by the shady upstreams as
If struck by the mysterious sounds
high compliment, indeed, for the
usually impressive natives to pay to the
feathered songster,

Where All the Timber Goes.

One of perhaps many little consid-
cred ways in which the forests of the
country are being eaten up is in sup
plying timber for railway timber work
There are 1000 miles of trestle structuq
in the United States, according to an
estimate by the forestry division. This
trestle work has to be replaced entirely
every nine years on an average and every
year timber amounting to 200,OO0,0OO
feet, board measure, is used for this pur-
pose. Nearly all the timber is cut from
the largest and finest trees. The an
nual expenditure on this work is esti-
mated at about S., 100000.

BIKE BUILT OF TOOLS.
The Most Extraordinary Freak
Machine Ever Constructed.
It Was Put Together by a Western Hard
ware Dealer from the Material In
His Store-It Runs, But Can
not BE Ridden.

The oldest bicycle in the world is
owned by T. b. Shannon, of Blaine,
Wash. 1t is safe to say that never before
has bicycle been so fearfully and Won
derfully wrought. 1t was not built for
active service, and there are few who
would care to ride on it; yet from the
ingenuity of its construction it has at
tracted a great deal of attention. Il
has fired many juvenile minds with am
bition to build one on a similar plan,
and incidentally has depleted the tool
boxes of many household. For this
bicycle is built entirely of tools.
Mr.. Shannon is an enthusiastic wheel
man, and he deals in tools for mills and
loggers, as the town has large shinglc
industries. He thought, perhaps, that
such a wheel might serve a useful pur-
pose in carrying on his business, if not
his person. Desiring, therefore, to con-
struct something thoroughly unique in
appearance, he set to work to make u
bicycle which should contain nothing
that he did not supply. TWAS not built
in day, and a great many tools were
tried before those actually used, were
selected. He was sorely puzzled how
to supply the frame and the sprocket
wheel. He was greatly assisted, how
ever, by several young friends, who be-
came so interested that their fathers
and mothers heard of nothing but the
new bicycle for over n week. 1t was
finally decided to use for the frame OF
the machine two wood saws, a mop
stick, some wood saw blades, and a pair
of strap hinges. The wood saws were
placed on either side of the rear wheel,
the axel passing through their handles.
At the other lower ends were fitted tive
beveled-edge emery wheels, the beveis
facing each other so as to form groove
for the dogs chain, which was employed
as a sprocket chain; and very re-
spectacle one it made.
The wheels were two 3s-inch shingle
saws. When the wheel was rolled
around they looked like buzz saws. Mr..
Shannon was much amused when tho
boys said they were fitted with steel
rims and punctureless tires. For the
front forks two nickled stove rods were
bolted firmly into cross-cut saw-handle

QUEER LOvEMAKING.
houth American Bird Which Wins Its
Mate by Strange Dancing.


There is bird in South America that
makes love with it's feet. 1t is hand
some creature, but walks clumsily, and
the only sound it can utter is hoarse
cluck. 1t dances, however, in a way
that wins admiration from the female
of its kind, though its antics only serve
as an incentive to laughter to humn
beings who see them.
This bird, known as the cock of the
rock, lives in the northern mountain
Gus portion of South America. 1t is
about the size of large chicken.
The entire bird, body, head, wings
and tail, is blood red in color, with the
exception of the tail feathers, which
have a narrow band of brown across
them near the ends, which are tipped
with buff. On the head is a crest OF
feathers like a great red ball, which
contracts or expands at the pleasure of
it's owner.
When the mating season comes seven
TO ten males seek some secluded spot,
where there is level patch of ground.
and clear it of any sticks, stones or
leaves, stamping down the dirt till it is
hard and level.
Then they call the females, who
stand at the edge of the novel arena.
One at time the males then perform
a most curious dance. Each dancer
will first strut up and down few times
and then, to the apparent delight of the
rest, commence to caper around in an
extremely ludicrous manner, spreading
his tail and wings, putting up his chest.
bowling to the others, and at the same
time keeping up hopping gait, until
he is exhausted.
When all the males have danced each
female will choose mate, and the hap
Ply pair depart to begin housekeeping.

irons, passing through the iron and
forming the front hub, while bushings
at each end of the nipple held all in
place. Then came the problem of pro
viding the head and handle bar; and al.
most every article in stock was taken
out and it's availability tested. 1t was
finally decided to employ u carpenters
iron bed screw with an automatic push
door bell attached. The bicycle was
now nearly completed, but the hopes
of the builders were nearly shattered
by their failure for some time to dis
cover what would take the place OF
pedals and cranks. Finally one of the
boys suggested two grind-stone crankS.
which were secured in place by the use
of a short nipple running through the
sprocket wheel and resting on the two
W God saws. The seat spring was an OK
bow, fastened to the frame by clamps;
while for the saddle stove urn was
used. A small American flag was fas.
tened to the handle bar,and this singular
bicycle was complete. 1t can be rolled
about without shaking to pieces, and
will probably be seen before long in the
various collections of freak wheels at
bicycle shows throughout the country.
The boys who helped build it feel justly

WHAT CAN BE DONE.

There are a number of cities and
towns in Texas, anxious to put up
money to secure additional banks or
railroads, when the same amount, or
little more than is required to Sc
cure these, would get first rate wool
en- mill, which would be worth many
times as much as another bank or
railroad. A good sized wooden mill, for
the manufacture of the finer grades of
woolens, would give employment to-
about 200 hands and would sustain a
population of 700 or 800 persons
quite an addition to any ordinary
town. All these people must be fed
and clothed and otherwise taken care
of, and thus room is opened up for
additional business in a score of lines,
so the increase of population will not
fall far short of 1000.
These 200 hands will draw on an
average of, say $4,000 a week, and it is
safe to say that nearly the whole
amount will be spent at homeland
who will say that $1,000 is not quite
a nice sum to turn loose in the average
town every week in the year. The
farmers, too, have an opportunity to
supply all the people with bread and
meat, butter eggs, chickens, wood.
etc, and they can well afford to take
stock in the mill. When the people of
Texas are better able to distinguish
the relative value of factories and or
binary commercial establishments
they will inaugurate an era that will
be the most prosperous the state has
