s harp Sparrows.

The lazy little English sparrows
have discovered a new method Of
obtaining food without hustling for
it, and every morning they noisiIy
put the idea into execution, being
observed by many persons. When
the electric lights are turned off at
daybreak the sparrows chatter around
she globes until they are cooled.
Then the bothersome scavengers slide
down into the globes by way OF the
carbons, and eat the unfortunate
insects attracted by the bright
glare during the night. Usually
the sparrows get a good breakfast of
fat flies and bugs, and often as many
as O. half-dozen birds clamber into
one globe.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

ENGLISH WARsHIPs GET ORDERS
Believed that the Pheasant and Colnus
Are Going to Honolulu

Victoria, B. c., March 1O-Quite
little stir was caused in naval circles to-
day when it was learned that her ma
jesty's ships Pheasant and Comus had
received word to put to sea as soon as
possible, but no later than Saturday,
under sealed orders. At first it was
rumored that the whole fleet was order
ed to sea, but this was denied later.
The officers. of course, do not know
what the orders are but they seem to be
under the impression that there is some
thing in the vicinity of Honolulu to de-
mand their attention. Both vessels
have orders to carry all the ammunition,
provisions and coal that can be stored
