THE CITIZEN.
A Gallant Cock Grouse.

A big cock-ruffed grouse came plump
ing down in the barnyard at Seth Colby's
near here the other day, and strutted
about among the hens, giving himself all
sorts of airs. The rooster that had charge
of this flock of hens gazed at this impu-
dent intruder in astonishment for a few
seconds, and then bristled up and started
in to show the grouse that sole authority
in that yard was vested in himself.
The rooster was as big again as the
grouse, but the gamey interloper from
the wi1ds put himself in shape and treat
ed Mr.. Rooster to something that was a
surprise to him. The grouse was so quick
and fierce in his fighting that after three
lively rounds the rooster turned tail, and
retreated to far corner of the b4rnyard.
The victor couldn't crow, but he jump
ed upod mound of straw and looked
the surroundings over with such an i'm
perious air that it spoke louder of his
triumph than crow that could have
been heard a mile,
After this gloating over his victory,
the wild cock came off the mound and
strutted about among the hens with more
assurance than before, The hens did not
conceal their admiration for the auda-
cious gallant, and huddled arou nd him.
ignoring scornfully the presence of their
rightful lord, beaten and Inundated in
his corner. For hal an hour the grouse
his pleasing triumph, and then
whirred away to his wooded haunts.
And them hens" says Seth Colby,
who witnessed the remarkable exhibition
from the window of his hay NOW, "lool-
ed sorrier than a widder when that dandy
pheasant left 'em and they kept it up so
long that they didn't recognize the
rooster for more'n two days.

Fall OF a Glacier.

Engineering describes the fall of a
glacier in the Bernese Oberlsnd about 5
A. NJ. on September II, 1895, from an
altitude of Io,823 feet above sea level.
The whole mass, estimated to be half as
large again as the largest of the pyramids
OF Egypt, leaped down 4, 600 feet to the
bottom of the valley just far enough to
not destroy the watercourse, moving as a
solid mass. 1t only took about twenty
seconds i'll its fist downward plunge, ten
i'll its leap upward, and ten in falling
ba ok, SO that at the end of forty-seconds
the mass had changed its place from near
the top of the mountain to the farther
side of the valley, where it buried nearly
one square mile of rich pasture to the
debth of six feet A similar ice avalanche
IS recorded as having occurred at the same
spot on the same spot on the same day
of the year in 1882.

Rehnements Of Measurements,

Refnements of measurements have
gone to almost incredible limits. On
lenses curvatures of 1, 900 inch can be
measured In spectroscoplc analysis OF
mere traces of different elements, fracti
onal wave lengths are read to 1000
nillionth of an inch, Professor Dewar
in his researches on liquid air attained d
vacuum of II, 500 millionth of an atmos-
phere by filling a vessel with mercurial
vapor and exposing it to a very low
temperature, and Professor BOYS, with
the simplest possible arrangement OF
quartz fiber, torsional balance, and mir
ror, claims to have been able to just de-
tect an attractive force of the I-2o, 900
millionth of a grain. SO much for
CARDS angles the Darwin pendulum will
indicate a movement of 800 of a second
which would be about the angular
measurement of a penny piece at the dis
tance of 900 miles. 1t is difficult to
realize the minuteuess of measurements
like the preceding. The smallest gold
coin of Great Britain, if drawn out into
4 wire IL, 500 millionth of an inch
diameter, would be long enough to
stretch to the sun and back again ten
thousand times, and yet the fundamental
mystery Of the constitution of atoms and
molecules would be locked up in every
infnitesimal portion of the length of
that minute wire. For the establish
ment of a truer and more comprehensive
theory of elasticity" write the authors
of the last important work on the subject,
''we shall probably have to wait until we
gain wider acquaintance with the nature
of intermolecular action. Engineering

AUTHOR AND CRITIC.
The Writer Was Not Worrying Much Over
the Terrible Roasting He Got.

The Writer Was Not Worrying Much Owe,
the Terrible Roasting He Got.
Tbs young author had bis feet cooked
up on a table and was enjoying cigar
when the book reviewer sauntered into the
club
"You seem wonderfully oontented and
at peace with the world for a man who
has been roasted from one end of the coun-
try to the other" suggested the reviewer,
trile put out to think that the hard
whacks he had boon giving had produced
no appreciable effect
My boy" said the young author con-
descendingly, "those roasts don't worry
me little bit. All you have to do is to
sit down and reason 1t out, and you'll find
that I'm all right -
"They re the hottest roasts any writer
has got this year, returned the reviewer
"Of course they are," admitted the
young author, "but can't you SEQ they're
not for mo?'
"Not foE you'll Why, they refer to you by
name'
"Very true, but then they fire right over
my head. You should take time to reason,
my boy; you should take time to reason.
Just take your own review of my books as
an illustration. You probably had an idea
that you were roasting me, but you were
not"
II wasn't'''
"Not bit of 1t, my boy. You said, for
instance, that there wasn't good idea or
bright bit of writing in the whole book. "
"That would be enough Of a roast for
most people,, suggested the reviewer sar-
oastically.
at would DO enough for me- If 1t hit
me, replied the author in an extensively
patronizing manner, "but you didn't aim
right. You handled your weapon like
novice. Why, in the very next paragraph
you proved conclusively according to your
own statement, that the whole book was
plagiarizcd from several Of the best au-
thors. You said there was hardly an orig
inal line In tho whole story. OF course,
that let's me out on the charge that 1t is
