rious musical whistles make one of the
charms of the winter shore; but they show
the curious seetionalism of bird-language.
The ease with which they might adopt
a common tongue is evident from the fact
that many coaSt-men learn some, and a
few of great natural ability as fowlers
learn all of these calls. AS in Heligoland,
where the islanders whistle down" pass

coast there are men who can "call down

partly cut in it goes to lathe similar 10
other irregular FORMS The cutting tool
used with this lathe is circular, like cir
cular saw. 1t has peculiar, knife-like teeth.
1t is revolyed, like circular saw, at hlgn
velocity. The brier block, with the bowl
partly shaped out, is secured upon the
lathe, to which has already been attached
a metal patterns of the shape that 1t Is
desired to cut the block. This metal pat
tern is made to turn against smooth
edged wheel attached to the lathe. The
brier block turns with the pattern, and Is
brought into contact with the smooth
wheel. AS the pattern is turned the CEN

oval or square makes no difference; the
cutting wheel cuts away the wood so that
the wood that is left is shaped in accord
ance with the pattern.
The work of the irregular lathe is done
very quickly, and the pipe comes from II
with the bowl and stem completely shaped
out but there is as yet no hole In the stem.
The stem here spoken of is the brier stem
continuous from the bowl, and not bit,
or mouthpiece
The pipe is then rough finished and fine
finished on wheels covered, one with
coarse and the other with fine sand-paper,
and subsequently is further fine finished
by polishing 1t on wheel with ground
ponnice stone.
After the first finishing the pipes are as
sorted into firsts and seconds. Firsts are
pipes without blemishi seconds are pipes
that have any outside defect.
The hole through the stem is bored with
a steel wire having cutting tip, and turn
ing rapidly in lathe. Fine pipes are CEN
tered, so that the hole through the stem
may be bored exactly in the center; ordi-
nary pipes are held against the wire borer
by hand, but pipes thus bored are almost
without exception bored squarely in the
center.
Then the pipe goes into another machine
stem to hold the bit, or mouthpiece. Then

wood stem where it is joined by the bit, or
mouthpiece, is put on, and the bit is at

THE TALKING OF BIRDS.
There Is No Universal Bird Speech
Habits of Some Specimens.
From the London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
Two features In the talking of birds
will occur 70 every one. There Is no ''uni-
versal bird language" or even a language
common to two species. though certain
sounds Of warning when uttered by one
species are naturally understood by an
other. Secondly, the talking faculty is
very capriciously distributed. The crows,
which easily learn to initiate human
speech, have very few notes or calls. The
Jay has only one, a harsh screech. modi-
fed when 1t Is pleased into a croak; and
a ch1ckle, varied by squeak, is the whole
natural vocabulary of the magpie. Yet
the piping crow and the nut-cracker crow
are sonFsters of rather high order, and
the former has an infinite variety of
words and calls.
The absence of any universal bird
speech Is seen most clearly by any one
such a common language would naturally
be expected. On the shores OF some estuar-
les, or of the North Norfolk coast, 1t Is

THE BRIER PIPE.
where the Material Comes From
and How the BOvl IL Cut.


From the New York Sun
The brier used in the making of brier
pipes comes chiefly from France. and
largely from the region OF the Pyrenees
it is said that the very best brier comes
from Sicily. Only the root. or that part
of the wood that grows underground, is
used. 1t is sawed into oblong blocks which
have no semblance to the form of pipe
but each of sufficient dimensions to per-
NIT the fashioning of pipe from IT, The
dried and seasoned. They are imported
into this country In large bags.
la the pipe factory here the brier blocks
are sorted out in sizes for larger and
smaller pipes, and then, II necessary, they
are trimmed down before going TO the
machines that are actually to shape the
pipe; little slabs or bits may be sawed of
the block to bring Il down close 70 the
size Of the pipe that is to be cut from IL I:
but not much needs to be cut off, for the
blocks are sawed originally SO that there
will be as little waste as possible. Then
the brier block goes TO the borer, the first
OF the machines employed in the actual
fashiOning or the pipe.
The boring machine has three knives
set In the same plane the middle knife
bores out the bowl OF the pipe, the two
outer knives cut away the wood on the
outside and form the shape OF tho pipe.
These knives. set IN a lathe. make more

BURIED SHIPS.
They Were Found Under a Portion
of Dublin by Sewer wOrkmen.
From the Dublin Independent.

From the Dublin Independent
The excavations in connection with the
main drainage works have resulted in
some discoveries of considerable interest,
particularly to the antiquarian. Unfortu-
nately, those who come on the finds are
not enthusiastic seachers into the secrets
of the past, and they did not overexert
themselves in the work of investigation.
Mhen the trench for the main sewer at
Upper Ormond quay was being dug the
dlggers came on an old ship, which was
buried in the ground, some twenty feet
down, nearly opposite the head of East
Arran street. The direction of the ship
was at right angles to the quay wall the
bow protecting toward up river.
Inc vessel was evidently swallowed up
in the sands which formed the bands of
the river long ere the present quays were
built. The width of the ship Is fifteen feet
It's length is an unknown quantity, for
those who found the vessel simply cut
away as much as was necessary to con-
struct the sewer. Even its depth was not
ascertained, because the bottom of the
new sewer is only some two feet UNDER
meath the point where the gunwails of
the boat begin, and the workmen did not
go 70 a greater debth than they were COM
PEELED 1or main drainage purposes. The
material OF which the ship was made is
oak, but owing to Its long stay in the
ground the wood is stained almost black
A peculiar feature Of the construction of
the vessel is that the timbers are almose
all fastened together by means OF OAK
plugs, there being very little iron EN-
ployed. From the charred appearance of
the deck timbers, Il is considered probabie
that an attempt was made to set fire 10 the
snip, but the fire did not spread, as the
side timbers show no traces OF burning :
Near the top of the ship was found n
quantity Of coal, and a fourteen-poilnI
cannon ball was also discovered. Higher
up the quay, almost opposite the citv
sheriff office, another ship was founi
This one, which lay in the direction paral-
lei 70 the quay wall, had also evidently
been swallowed up by the sands which
used TO border the Llffey In its progress
through the Dublin and other BAYS. The
same peculiarities OF construction "a were

seeming to forget all about the boy.
He rushed out of the house, his cloth.
ing and flesh burning, and then thought
of his son. He then attempted to rush
back into the building, but was seized
by the townspeople. When the house
was all aflame he gave up the struggle
and walked away. He was seen latel
making toward the river. He said all
was over and he would kill himself.
He was taken back to town, where he
became raving maniac.
The boy was burned to death. Hit
remains were found in the corner O.
the room. The mother and elder SOL
were in church at the time. Tit
mother is also nearly crazed.

Pendleton, Or, Oct. IA. - Judge
Stephen A. Lowell, addressing the

of Intoxicating drink to Indians, said:
''The white population cannot es-

The native race is among US weaker
and morally inferior people, and we

not exert for themselves. The appe-
tite for intoxicants seems with them
uncomfortable if liquors are obtaina.

of the statutes other wards OF the law;
minors and feeble-minded and common
drunkards; and we have permitted the

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 12.-Merchant

Rosenbloom was subjected to severe
fire of cross questions. He answered
correctly as to the manner of electing

'That does not make any differ

''if the people don't know any more
about the requirements than you do,

THE ARGENTINE WRECK.
The Disaster Was Due to a Dense Fos
Prevailing at the Time.

The Disaster Was Due to Dense Fog
Prevailing at the Time.
Kansas City, Oct. IA curious
com bination of wrecks took place in
the Santa Fe yards at Argentine. A
dense fog caused the trouble. -Four
trains were wrecked, but, strange to say,
only one man was hurt, and he not
fatally.
An eastbound freight train, in trying
to enter the yard, was stopped by a
switch that refused to work. Before
the trouble could be remedied, a spe.
cial freight, which was following close
behind, came along. On account OF
the fog, the danger signals were not
seen until too late. The second train
dashed into the first one, wrecking the
engine and several cars. Hardly had
this collision occurred, when passen-
ger train No 8 crashed into the rear
of the wrecked special, and few min.
uses later passenger train No. 2, the
California limited, plowed through the
rear cars Of No s.
The only person hurt in these wrecks
was switchman named George Slater,
who had his arm broken and his head
badly cut. His injuries, although
painful, are not considered dangerous.
The passengers were somewhat shaken,
but no one else was injured. The
damage to railroad property amounts
to $50, 900.
