Colonel Baker and J. NJ Flagler have
about completed their work Of clearing out
the channel Of Mosquito creek above the
bridge on the School for the Deaf road. They
have exploded great many charges OF dyna-
mite and have created a great deal Of en-
tertRtnment for the crowd by giving elab-
crate displays Of muddy pyrotechnics.
Charges Of dynamite, ranging from four 70
ten IN number. have been sunk IN the de-
bris and drift above the bridge and fired
simultaneously by an electric battery The
explosions have thrown up volcanoes Of
mud that have been fascinating sights for
the multitude. Generally the blast throws
the mud straight upward and II comes back
after an interval IN the shape OF various
sized chunks and drops back into the bed
Of the creek. but occasionally il takes a
notion TO throw il out al an angle and then
some Of the spectators have 20 run and DO
some agile lodging 10 escape the muddy
avalanche
About 800 las been expended In the work,
but il has probably saved the county & new
steel bridge hat cost nearly $4,000.

Birds Who Love an Empress.

Among tho many peculiaritioa Of
thar beautiful woman. tho Empress Of
Austria, one At the most romantic
figures Of the present era, Is her
strange influence over birds which,
we're she Of moro humble rank, might
prove a perfect gold mine to her.
This power, never heretofore de-
soribed IN print, is known to few out
side tho court circle OF Austria Hun
gary, yet nothing is more wonderful
than to see the birds docking from
every quarter around the empress the
very moment she sets foot In the gar
deus Of Lainz or Schoenbrun. but es-
pecially at the latter place. There are
many ornamental pieces Of water at
Schoenbrun, and al sorts Of valuable
birds, such as Australian swans, Chi
ncse ducks, Thibetan pheasants and
birds of paradise are permitted to
Foam at will through this splendid
domain. They all know the empress
and are subject to her power, as are
also the wild birds, even down to the
ordinary sparrow. They gather around
her, each uttering its own particular
cry,while the pigeon and smaller birds
alght an her shoulders and arms The
empress is now staying at the Hof-
burg at Vienna, but makes a point of
driving out to Schoenbrun every after
noon to spend a couple of hours among
her feathered friends, carrying along
with her large bags of grain to feed
them. In by-goue times, before the
doctors forbade her to ride, she used
to exercise much the same power over
horses, and savage stations, which
would permit no groom to approach
them aud which had to be fed and
watered from buckets fastened to long
pales, would show signs of satisfaction
and pleasure whenever she entered
their stalls, allowing her to caress, and
even to saddle and birdie them with
the help Of a lady-in-waiting who was
gifted with very much the same infu-
ence over horses. New Orleans Picay-
