THE FIRST HANSON CAB.

Its First Customers Were Brokers, Who
Caused IL to Become Popular.
The first hanson cab in America had
an interesting history. A reminiscent,
voluble, red faced cabby told it late the
other night up by the Thirty third street
stand. 1t was brought over in 1870 or
1871 by John Patent Of the Pacific hotel,
in Greenwich street, just above Cort-
landt, and it COST $40 Its driver was old
John Carter of Liverpool, since de-
ceased, who came to New York in 1861.
The original cab that John Carter drove
was handsome one, made very much
like those now in use, but it had claret
body and red running gear. An interest
ing feature of it was that it was boil
stored with pair of patent axles, which
were so complicated that Carter was the
only man who could grease them.
For some reason the cab was not put
into running Immediately after it was
imported, but was laid up in the stable
for 3 years. Then John Carter ran II
from the Pacific hotel, but there was
not business enough there, and he went
down to the corner of Broad street and
Exchange place, where trade fiourished,
and he used to get fares from the big
brokers. Morosini was said to have been
a good customer of his, and Jay Gould,
if reports are accurate, rode in it once
or twice. 1t was familiar feature
about the Stock Exchange for four years,
and then it broke down, ending the ca

BIRDS LIKE TO TRAVEL.
The Reason They Annually Leave North
ern Chimes and Fly South.

The Reason They Annually Leave North
ern Chimes and Fly South.
Why do the birds fit southwark each
autumn aud return again with every
spring. No one knows, but science, in
the person Of Professor Wang, the emf
nent Austrian ornithologist, has just dis
closed that the usual flippant answer to
this question, Because they like to
travel, " is not far out Of the way, after
all
In lecture that Professor Wang re-
Gently delivered at Vienna he gave some
extremely interesting details regarding
the migrations of BIRDS all Of which
migrations resemble one another in two
respects: They follow the most direct
line southwark, and are made with al
most Incredible rapidity. Numerous OBJ
servations have been made at Helgo-
land, which is the principal hating
place of birds of passage from northern
countries, and of Egypt, which is the
winter home Of many, and these obser
vations have established some facts hith'
erto unknown. The bluebirds traverse
the 400 nautical miles which separate
Egypt from Helgoland in a single night
which is at the rate Of more than AZ
geographical miles per hour. The swal
lows speed is over 2 Il miles per min
ute, or nearly three times that Of thu
fastest railway train. Even the younge
birds, o or weeks old, accompany th'
others in their journey.
Professor Wang asks himself what i
the impulse which causes the birds. aft
er the brooding and melting season
over to quit our nothern climate. II
does not think it is fear of cold-fo
many species quite as delicate as thos
which migrate southwark easily with
stand the rigors of the winter-but tina
they have an irresistible humor fo
travelling. This is his idea of the fact
but he can give no explanation.

G. W. Prescott Of Highland, who took
the medal for the best box Of packed or
anges at the late California State Citrus
fair, has been experimenting with iron
filings in his young orchard. Being
master mechanic of the Santa Fe system
in southern California at San Bernardo
no, he knew more about iron filings than
he did about guano or any other fer
tilizer, and knowing that certain
amount of iron in the soil was essential
to healthy growth of the tree and the
production of fruit he put five pounds
of this material around each tree, and as
result he has highly colored orange,
where before he had a pale colored fruit.
The cost is insignificant. A thousand
trees on ten acres will require 5000
pounds of filings, which costs 81 per ton
81 10 for the ten acre orchard. OF course
this application of iron is not intended
to supersede all other fertilizers, but
simply to supplement them in order to
give good color to the fruit and enable
the grower to put an attractive orange
on the market, and incidentally to assist
him occasionally in winning gold
medal. The railroad shops at San Ber-
nardino can furnish one ton per day Of
this material, and other shops can also
assist in supplying the demand.-Pro-

FIRST SHOT OF THE WAR.
Fired by the Cadets Of the South Caroiin'
Military Academy.

Fired by the Cadets OF the South Caroiins
Military Academy.
The first shot in the late war was fired
by the cadets of tho south Carolina Mil
itary academy, which occupies spacious
and formidable Looking building called
the Citadel, which was originally con-
structed for al arsenal. The organiza-
ton and cur1 culum are similar to those
of the United States academy at West
Point. After the ordinance of secession
was adopted tho cadets were ordered to
report for grmd duty and were manning
a battery on Morris island, when, ON
Jan. 0, 1861, the Star of the West at
tempted to enter the harbor with sup
plies and re-enforcements for Fort Sum-
ter. The impulsive boys took the re-
sponsibility of driving her back, firing
shot across her bows to give warning.
The steamer Immediately ran up the
United States flag and increased her
speed. The shots fell thick and fast
around her, and when one struck her in
the stern the commander thought 1t
prudent to retreat and turned his vessel
seward. The cadets of this institution
believe that act entities them to the
homage of the south, and the prestige
thus acquired has made them the objects
of envy throughout that whole section.

An investigation into the comparative
cost of living at the various European
capitals results in the following interest
ing facts: At Vienna the prices of most
articles of food are lowest. At Madrid
they are dearer than in any other CAPT
tai, and such things as bread, meat, sug-
ar and coal are very expensive. At st.
Petersburg also the price of bread is SC
high that white bread is still considered
a luxury above the means Of the work
ing classes. Next to Vienna, Brussels is
an inexpensive city. Paris is a little
higher in the scale, but London is "ter-
ribly expensive. "-Westminster Ga
