Age of OnRra.

How old is opera? Some scholars tell us that the Greek plays were intonod by the actors, and that the choruses were sung. Being performed in the open air this sort of recitation was probably adopted in order that the voices of the players might be carried farther. You can throw your tones to a much greater distance if they are pitched on a musical koy. Even babies are taught this by ma ture. Their screams are strictly within the lines of musical notation. The masses of the church have always been intoned. But when we come to the be- ginnings of opera in shape and form like that of today, only ruder and prim. itive, we find nothing earlier than De Ia Hale's comic opera of the Little Game of Robin and Marian''-in the thir- teenth century French, "Li gieus de Robin ct de Marian" " This excellent little work, wonder in view of the times, does away with the current be. lief that Italy was the birthplace o1 opera.
 Then there is blank until sixteenth century, when poet and a composer collabOrated a work founded on the story of Orphels ard Eurydice. This set tho fashion for all time of librettist and composer, only broken in upon by Wagner, who thought and taught that 6 composer of music should write the words that accompany the notes-Mme. Melba in Lippincott's.

DUCKS DROWN AN EAGLE.
Alleged Exploit Attributed to Crow Duel
 on the Potomac.

| on the Potomac.
 If writer for The American Field is to be believed, the crow duck is a most extraordinary bird on the Potomac riv- CT, cutting up such capers as to make even a naturalist gasp
 -Four years ago" he writes, while shooting ducks with MT. Waller, mo- ticed a flock of 5000 or 4, 900 crow ducks. After half an hour noticed an eagle going toward the flock. When he arrived at the proper distance, he made dart, but the ducks as if by magic, went under water like a flash and sent up volume as if a big mine had been exploded. This was done time and time again, and finally the volume of water thrown up was so great that the eagle was nearly drowned. An old tucker once told mo that he once wit messed the same scene and that the eagle was drowned. This is sight seldom seen, which may occur but once in a ducking life of 50 years. .''
 This crow duck is also known as the American cOot, mud hen, blue peter and Fulica americana by various hunt CTS and alOngshOre people, Up north these ducks may be seen in creeks and marshy, reed grown rivers, but south ill Florida they resort in enormous num- bers to tho lakes where bonnets or vel low lilies abound, associating there with lesser scaup ducks. They arc shy birds, being much persocutcd usually, but in localities where shooting is pro- hibited, near tho Titusvillc (Fla rail road pier, for instance, they arc as tame as sparrOws, understanding that thorc they are safe.
 The nearest anybody ever came to tho drowning eagle story was Frank M Chapman hl his Birds of Eastern North America, "when he says "Whcn alarm ed, they batter over tho water, using their feet as much as their wings. Tho sound produced is Q characteristic one. " He does not say whether the water flies or not, but ono could imagine that a crow duck just as it turned up to dive could give it's scallOpCd Wcbbcd feet a kick up behind, like vicious m,,l", and so saturating the eagle that it wor,ld bo drowned. Eagles often catch living fish out of the water, and, of course, get more or less wet in doing so, but per haps the Potomac river eagles are of a different species than those known to bird books.

A Tame Crow.

A farmer near Patchogue, N. Y., has tame crow, which, while it has per feet freedom, seldom goes far from the dooryard. The crow was captured while quite young, and is thoroughly domes- ticated. It roosts at night with the hens in the henhOuse With the initiative in stincts of its kind, it has learned to re- produce exactly the cackling of the hens, so that strangers passing often stop and look upward with amazement at what seems to be the cackling of a hen flying about in the air.

ORIGIN OF lCEBERGS.
A New South Wales Scientist Advances
 Theory of Their Formation.

Theory of Their Formation.
 In paper read before the Royal sO- cicty of New South Wales Mr. H. c. Russell dealt with the origin and release of iccbergs As is known, the number of iccbergs met with between the cape of Good Hope and Australia differs greatly, being much more numerous ill some years than in others. There has, for example, within tho past few years been very large accession of enormous iceborgs, and it has been suggested as an explanation of this that unusually heavy falls of snow may account for it by accclcrating tho motion of the ice.
 MT. Russell, however, assures us that the circumstances forbid the acceptance of this view, because the motion of the glacier depends mainly on the dcclivity down which it is descending, and that does not alter. The piling up of snow could not in ono year cause such a marked increase in tho rate of flow as would bo necessary to account for the enormous increase ill tho number of icC- bergs which appear from time to time. It is obvious that there must bo a force sufficient to break off tho iccbcrgs which arc slowly forming on the shore and to do it at irregular periods separated by many years, and in MT, Russell's opin ion the true cause is found i'll tho vOlca- noes of the antarctic continent
 When these burst forth i'll eruption, and by that act shake tho forcshorcs, tho icebergs arc broken off from the gla- ciers. This view is to some extent con firmed by the report of the United States Photographic office on the float ing ice seen during 1892 and 1893 in the south Atlantic cast of Cape Horn. In that report it is stated that tho icebcrgs were of such size that they could not have been formed on small, low lying islands, but only on a large continent, where glaciers of great height could form. ..-Pittsburg Dispatch.
