4 Naturalist Tells How IL Conducted Its

Peculiar Warfare.
1t is a common saying that birds go
a-fishing, but it is not generally known
that very often the case Is reversed and
the birds supposed to be the enemies
of the fishes are caught in the tolls.
Several years ago, while fishing off
the Maine coast, the writer observed
what the fishermen called the running
of the dog-fish. One day the fishing for
cod, make and haddock was excellent;
the following morning it had stopped as
suddenly as though command to all
the finny tribe had been issued by Nep-
tune.
The explanation was that an army OF
small sharks, swimming in from the
unknown depths of the sea, had driven
away all the edible fish. This horde was
so starved and ravenous that they were
menace to life. II anything was
thrown into the water they rushed to
the spot; bit at the oars and sails that

sparrow. and the nIcvcIe.

A curious thing about the sparrow
has often been noticed by wheelmen.
When bicycle riding first became COM
mon the birds used to hop up in the
air and fly away before the wheel was
within 20 feet of them, plainly being
very much frightened. But now, even
with the increase in the number of bi.
cycles and the speed at which they arc
ridden, the birds show little or no fear.
They wait until the very last moment
before getting out of the way, and then
they hop aside only few inches.

There's a little telltale
In the old oak-tree,
And It's always saying
Dreadful things OF me.
Just as sure as mamma
Says with such sigh:
Who's been In the pantry.
Nibbled at the pie?
Who has dropped these broad
crumbs
All around the floor?
Who ran In so rudely.
Didn't shut the door,"
Or: who threw this bonnet
Down upon the stairs?'
Or: who left these cookies
On the parlor chairs?"
Then the little telltale.
In the tree-top hid,
Answers shrill and saucy:
Katy did! She did,
Say, now, little gossip.
Don't you think it's mean.
Watching me so slyly,
Telling all you've seen?
But I've thought of something.
Such a splendid plan.
Ill be just as careful
AS ] ever can;
Keep my fingers useful
All the livelong day:
Then how s'prised and happy
Mamma dear will say:
What good household fairy.
Or what little sprite,
Washed the cups so neatly,
Rubbed the glasses bright7
Hung up nat and jacket,

Cheerily you'll answer:

CINE. Then there comes the whistle Of
down brakes" Charles is sick and
faint, but he realizes he must keep up.
Slowly, oh! so slowly, it seems to him,
the trains speed diminishes, and at last
it ceases to move.
A brakeman climbs down and runs
towards the bicyclist, for he still waves
that piece of red flag above his head
with one hand while with the other he
clasps firmly the handlebar of his wheel.
The brakeman is close to him now and
grasps his wheel, for it is beginning to
wobble frightfully. He holds it firmly,
for Charles is, for the moment, too weak
to dismount.
mo. has passed V station!"
Charles stammers out between his gasps
for breath.
That is enough; the brakeman knows
only too well what it means. He shouts
out the information to another brake
man who is nearer the train, and the
latter starts on a run for the head of
the train with his red flag. Will he be
in time to stop the express?
A moment, then another, passes. Sure
ly he must now be ahead of the freight.
Charles strength returns, and, leaving
his wheel, he rushes along beside the
track. On reaching place where he
can see some distance ahead of the train,
he notices the brakeman with the red
flag is still running.
Then there comes the whistle of an
approaching train. The brakeman
waves his flag, and Charles hears the
whistle of "down brakes" from the en-
CINE of No. 5, and sees No. IS, the heavy
freight, begin slowly and majestically
to back. Soon No. comes in view,
still moving but very slowly, and at
last stops. No. IS then ceases to back,
and the two trains face each other, the
smoke from their engines intcrmingling
above the length upon length of cars
which might have been piled upon one
another in one wild heap of chaos and
death.

Rumors Of an exchange of players be-
tween the Washington and Philadelphia
clubs have been whispered about for the
past several days.
In the absence OF Mr.. Wagner from the
city no standardization OF the report could
be directly obtained. but The Times came
into possession OF information late last
night that would strongly verify the rumor
that Capt. "Scrappy' Joyce and Catcher
McAuley had been traded to Philadel-
phia for KID Cross and Catcher Mike
Grady.
1t Is known that Mr.. Wagner has a
high opinion OF the hall playing ability OF
Cross and has wanted hi.n for the past
several seasons. To those in the conf
dence of the local magnate an exchange
of any player on the Washington team,
barring Mcclure, Mercer. Setback and
DeMontreviile, would occasion no sur
prise, for TO such an extent does Mr.. Wag-
ner estimate the worth OF the bow-.egged
ohioan, who is a crackerjock either be-
hind the bat, at third base or in short field
: As between Grady and MCAuley, it
would seem that Washington got gieat
deal the better OF tire deal. Grady is
seasoned catcher, knows the game, and
is good batter. He is a scrappy Individual
and will materially strengthen the Sena-
tors In the catching department, as he is
able to alternate with Mcclure without
weakening tie club.
lr IL lie true that the deal has been Con-
summated, the exchange OF .scrappy"
Joyce will be heard with deep regret. II
Cross comes in his place, the club will have
n better fielding third basenian, but it will
not have a letter run-getter nor better
oll-rouDd bah player.
But Washingtnn's loss Will be .Scrappy's''
gain, as 10 doubt lie Will be made captain
of the Philadelphia club with full sway
a privilege has has enjoyed in name only
since he has had the Senators under his
charge. as the public has derstcod.
The Philadelphia club is in need OF
scrappy handler and Joyce will fill the
bill.
II was evident from the commencement
of the season that perfect harmony would
not exist IN the Washington Club with both
Sclinelz and Joyce in Mr.. Wagner's en-
ploy. A strong mutual dislike has existed
between them since their connection with
the team, and IL has always been only a
matter OF time until one or the other had
TO go.
II The Times Information is correct,
and it has every reason to believe that
it is, Scrappy's scalp has been taken.
The change will probably be for the
good OF all concerned. Washington will
get one OF the best all around players
in the profession; a lso good second catcher.
which the club has long needed, and har-
niouy Will prevail between the manage
nentSand the players. AS for Scrappy:
all Washington wishes him the best OF luck
wherever his lines may be cast.
