ADJUSTMENTS.
ACADEMY OF vi usic.

One of the best play in the military
drama line is to be presented at the
Academy thi sevening is THE Girl l Left
Behind Me- and its authors are David
Belasco, whose name figured in connee-
ton with 1.-THE Wife, and 1.-THE Charity
Balp' and Franklin Fyles, the dramatic
editor of the New York Sum- Its scenes
are the surroundings of the military posts
in the Northwest. There is an uprising
of the Indians, which brings the hero
and the villain. rival lieutenants, into full
play. The second act represents the post
ennion stockade at daybreak. Tn
post is surrounded by Indians whose tom
toms and weird chant are heard in the
distant, and who will attack the little
garrison at sunrise. Scenes of the most
intense and exciting kin are evolved in
this connection.

Did the Bird HaA- Itself:

A strange eventhappenca at the Edi-
son laboratory in Orange, N. j., re-
Gently, which puzzled the great inven-
tor and lett the question rs much IN
doubt as ever. 1t is thought by some
Orangeites that IN English sparrow
committed suicide on the walls O. the
laboratory; by others that pcrely an
accident occurred. The facts are as
follows: In the end Of tide loft in one
OF the laboratory buildings is o dla'
mond shaped arrangement of holes.
These holes we're lett there for ventlia'
ton purposes and were made by leav'
ing out certain bricks i'll the end wall
OF the house. They proved capital
nesting places Tor the sparrows' anu
several OF the birds were not slow to
make use of them. One dry the work
men around the building noticed q
sparrow which was makinga great to
do over the repairing Of nest. Inc
little fellow flew in and out OF the hole,
collecting all kinds Of shreds and
patches and ioter0cavjny them with
tho old work OF the nest. Finally the
bird secured long piece Of grocer .
cord, such as is used to tie up small
packages, and few with it to the nest.
dlhe vorkmen saw the bird enter tho
hole with the string trailing after It,
Then as the part Of the cord still hang
ing out of the hole was submitted to
several continued jerks they concluded
that the bird was Intervening the
cord with the fabric OF the nest. They
Dismissed the matter for the time be-
ing and went about their work.
Later in the deg the bird was seen
| to be hanging dead outside tho hole.
A slipnoose on the end of the strln9
which it had been using to build the
nest was tightly drawn around its neck
and part OF the wing. A photograph
was taken on the spot and on c1amina'
ton made. 1t was evident that tue
bird had drawn the string into the
hole until nothing but the slipnoose
remained outside. Then for some pur'
pose had flown quickly out and in e
doing had passed its head through
the moose. The force with which the
moose closed around its neck must
have strangled the bird instantly: !
