MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle 8 Fire with Them.

But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle a
 Fire with Them.
 No creature but man has ever made use of fire. An African traveller, indeed. has told a story of apes making thiev- ing raid on camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly well. This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by it's middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt tc scratch the unsul- phured end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than smooth one. and his care in looking for the rough places is very diverting4
 But with all these intelligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an 1 other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and if he lights another, does it for the pleas. ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men of science who are experimenting with his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using; but from the moment they succeed in doing soZif they ever do sue ceed-it will be necessary to keer matches out of his reach.

SHOT AWAY HIS ARM.
What Rashness Did for a Former
 PhOenician.

Graham County Bulletin: Word reached here "Wednesday morning that James V. Parks, the appointed con- stable and deputy sheriff at Carlisle, N. M, had shot A. w. Hand, the as- saver for the company at that place.
 The shooting took place in James Nicks' saloon and as near as The Bull letin could ascertain the facts are as follows:
 Hand had a gun and was shooting at bottles, etc., inside of the saloon, when Parks stepped up to him and told him he would have to stop. Hand replied that he would like to see some one make him stop, whereat Jim left the saloon and returning with a shot gun, threw down on Hand and de- manded his surrender. As he did so, Hand, who still carried his pistol, raised his right arm as if to shoot and Parks fired, shooting away his arm
 Hand had to wait twenty hours be- fore the surgeon arrived, but we are glad to state the operation was per formed successfully.
 MT. Hand was well known in Phoe- nix and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was a bright young man and his many friends are sorry to hear of his misfortune.

GET SENTENCE.
Ex-Senators Iden and Abbott Given
 Two Years Each.

COLUMBUS, O., July 1s.-JndRe Pugh wound up the legislative bribery cases with sensational finale, by over ruling the motion of ex-Senator John l. Abbott of McConpellsville, and ex. Sen. ator George Iden of Newark. for new trials, and sentencing both men to the penitentiary for two yeare. Abbot for soliciting and Iden for offering bribe. The courtroom was crowded, and the sentence created great surprise and a sensation. The court held that the weight of evidence was too great to ad- init of new trial.
 Both senators made statements vehe' mently protesting their innocence. lden protested his innocence, and said that Ii granted new trial he could show proof positive that his skirts were clear. Both men evinced feeling, and in aeking ior the clemencv of the court, said their lives were blighted.
 Abbott's plea was dramatic and ere ated breeze of excitement. The sen. tences may never take effect, for the court announced that he would stay ex' ecution until the next term of circuit court, in September, and in the mean while both men can remain at liberty on the same bond, 5000, till August 8 In sentencing the men Judge Pugh said he at first thought of imposing only fines, but concluded that such crime' should be punished to. the full ex tent of the law. Abbott and Ider both say they will fight to the las court.

COLOR OF WoMEN'S EYES.

The Mere Question of Pigment Has Set
 tied Many Mans Fate.
 Did you ever notice that men always instiEcl;vely put confidence in a girl with blue eyes, and have their sus- picions of the girl with brilliant black ones, and will you kindly tell me why? asks writer in the Ladies' Home Jour- nal. Is it that the limpid blue eye, transparent and gentle, suggests all the soft, womanly virtues, and because he thinks he can see through it, clear down into that blue-eyed girls soul, that she is the kind of girl he fancies she is? think it is, but some of the greatest little frauds I know are the purry, kitteny girls with the big inno- cent blue eyes. Blazing black eyes, and the rich, warm colors, which dark skinned women have to wear suggest energy and brilliance and no end of intellect. Men look into such eyes and seem not to be able to see below the surface. They have not the pleasure of long, deep gaze into immeasurable depths. And so they think her design ing and clever, and, perhaps God save the markD, even intellectual, when, perhaps, she has a wealth of love and de- votion and heroism stored up behind that impulsive disposition and those dazzling black eyes, which would do and dare more in a,minute for some man she had set that great heart of hers upon, than your cold blooded, tranquil blond would do in 40 years. A mere 1 question of pigment in the eye has set tied many mans fate in life, and es- tablished him with wife who turned out to be very different from the girl he fondly thought he was getting.

for some time past been camped in Kirkland valley. Sholto with the in born sagacity of a Douglas of old pitched his tent in the center of dry wash, it being such "blawstedly nice private place, ye know"
 And it came to pass that the heavens opened and it did rain and the water came down that wash in a mighty volume. Her ladyship skinned up a tree, and his lordship, remarking that he couldn't make out what was the matter with the bloody elements, flew up the side of a rock with the agility of Gila monster. The tent was washed away and his lordship lost everything except his character.
 A beautiful little poem, in memory of the event, has been handed in and runs as follows:
 There was a bloody lord
 Camped in bloody wash,
 Down came the bloody water
 And washed him out, b'gosh.
 Out came the bloody sun
 And dried up the bloody rain,
 And in the bloody wash
 Camped the bloody lord again.

 The new boat is 404 feet long between perpendiculars; moulded breadth, AS feet; depth, 27 feet; ca pacity of water ballast tanks, 2,500 tons. The vessel is built on the steel angle principle and has twelve center cargo matches, each 14xS feet, and ten matches, on the port side only.
 The boat is expected to make eleven miles an hour, loaded and pulling a loaded consort, with very small coal consumption. She is expected to car " 4,000 tons on fourteen feet of water and 5000 to 1000 on deep draft, and her consort will carry as much more It is quite likely that the Ericsson will break the record as a cargo car rier on the great lakes.

COWARDLY ESCORT.
Young Man Leaves a Girl to Drown
 Without Aid.

SEA ISLE CITY, N. J., July 18- The drowning of Miss Emma K. Hell of Philadelphia, who was cowardly deserted in the water and left to drown by her escort, is the topic of conver- sation here, and, in fact, feeling ran so high that he was threatened with personal violence, and he hurriedly left for Philadelphia.
 The man made no apparent effort to save the life of the drowning woman, and even failed, 1t seems, to make an audible outcry to bring others to her assistance. He gave his name as J. H. Fisher of New York, and said he was employed by Hubert Bros, the Twenty third street sporting goods dealers.
 Fisher was within a few feet of Miss Heil when she was drowned, yet sev- eral persons who witnessed the drown ing from the board walk declare that he hurried from the water went to the bathing establishment, where he pro- cured his suit and dressed before say ing a word to anyone about the incl dent. He went to Krouses restau- rant after he was dressed and asked if there was no one around who could save a life.
 Coroner Robinson said Miss Heil's death was clearly a case of drowning but he was far from satisfied with the action of Fisher. The jury is not yet through with the matter and ad- journed to meet at the call of the cor oner.

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY STARS ?

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
 of Bird Migration.
 In an article on Birds of Passage" the Chautauquan says if one desires an explanation for the great mystery of bird migration, there being nothing else that will answer, he will have to accept the theory of hereditary knowl edge, knowledge of the unfailing stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap- peared at the same time in our region, even when the divisions of land and water were very different than they are to-day. That the stars are the guides for birds agrees with the fact that they fly at remarkable heights, often above the clouds, and that wan derers lose their way when they stray into clouds and mists.
 On starlight nights struggling birds are seldom noticed. When the sky is overcast, when the night is dark, but especially when a fine rain is falling, multitudes of travelling birds are heard. Then they call often, doubtless for the purpose of keeping near each other; and often great numbers of them bound against the windows of light houses. Thus Gatke has observed that on October 2s, 1882, from ten o'clock at night till the next morning golden crested wrens bumped like snowfakes against the lighthouse of Heligoland, and that on the following day golden crested wrens sat on every square foot of Heligoland.
 Toward the end of the summer, along into the fall, it was not rare occur renee on dark nights to see, through the light of street lamps, birds flying over inland cities. The experienced observer recognizes by its call the cur lew and the strand-snipe, sea-swallow and seagull, occasionally hears even the flap of their wings. But no bird is visible in the darkness. On dark nights no stars appear; then it is that the stray ing bird loses his way. The stars are the most plausible guides to birds in their migrations. But only the future can tell us whether they really serve in that capacity.
