Sam Maxim. says the Boston Tran
script. a brother of the famous Hiram,
inventor of guns, lives in the little
village OF Wayne, Kennebec county,
Me-, and is himself an inventor. Some
time ago his attention was called to
the fact that both India and Japan
have produced swords that will cut
through gun barrel without losing
their edge. This led him to study old
Hiudoo literature on the subject of
steel manufacture, and then to begin
at Wayne series of experiments which
soon resulted in the production of a
small quantity Of steel possessing u re-
markable temper. From this few ouu-
ces of steel he had one or two drills
forged, and with these he was able to
drill holes through an ordinary file
without damaging the drills at all. He
has not yet made any ste / for sale, nor
does his process, al present, always pro-
duce the desired results.

BIRDS AND KITES.
Feathcred Creatures Cannot Under
stand the Strange Flyers.

Many amusing experiences have been
the lot of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific pur-
poses. Large birds are always inter
eSted in the strange devices floating in
the air and cannot quite make out what
they are. Prompted by sharp curios-
ity they hover around the floating kites
and subject themselves to the danger
of becoming entangled in the silken
string and being dragged down to
earth.
No bird, however, has ever alighted
On kite or attacked one. While one
scientist was flying a train of five kites
a couple of years ago a large silver
tipped eagle came suddenly out of the
higher air and swooped round and
round the first kite, looking against the
sunset sky like a huge silver ball. As
the train of kites was pulled III the
eagle followed, visiting one kite and
then another, seeming uncertain just
what to do. Ii a few minutes, when
he seemed to have decided that they
were not good to eat, and he knew moth
ing about them, anyway, he indignant
Iy flew off and was lost to view.
Another experience was had with a
storll that came from the New Jersey
side of the Hudson and flew straight for
the queer object in the air. He appar-
emily had made up his mind to go
straight through il, but changed and
dove underneath. He went around AMI
above it, and through a glass it could
be seen that he cooked his eye at the
intruder in most comical manner. He
started away few hundred feet,
changed his mind, and came swooping
back. He finally reluctantly went
away, mystified over this queer addi-
ton to the inhabitants of the air.
While kites were high in the air one
March focks of geese flying in the B.
wedge flew over. They invariably
stopped, broke up, lowered above the
queer object, and, at last, slowly re-
formed and flew away. While the larger
birds all come from heights above the
kites, the small birds of the air will
alight on the string holding the kite
and sway to and fro.-Chicago News.

The fragrance blown from waving reeds
And blossOmed apple trees.
From many lily-bordered Drinks
Where summer riVulets stray
The gladness of the earth he drinks,
The freshness of the day;
He drinks, and life grows fair and strong;
Hear we the wineless drunkard's song!
The incense that the meadow yields
Within his brain is wrought,
The business of the tangled fields
Is blooming in his thought;
The inland songs of murmurous brooks
Along their reedy Drinks:
gHe babbling strains from blossomed hooks
or tipsy bobolinks;
The breaths that float from bloom and
brake
The songs from vale and KNOLL
Surge in upon his dreams and make
summer in his soul
And lofty is his JOY and strong;
Hear ye the wineless drunkards song!
And when the fower-bells are curled
Within their dewy rest,
The spirit of the darkling world
Pervades his pensive breast.
His spirit drinks the peace that lies
On lakes beneath the moon
Outspread beneath the midnight skies,
Fringed with the wealth of June;
Deep doth the eternal silence press
Around our eremite,
His soul bathes in the quietness
And mystery of the night:
And deep his spirit broods and long;
Hear We the wineless drunkard's songl

HOW THE LOBSTER FEEDS.
Well Equipped to supply Itself with
Food According to Its Wants.

Food According to Its Wants.
OF the two big claws of the lobster,
| enc is usually slender and more pointed
| than the other, which is thick and
chubby. Ofthe tooth like projections
in the jaws of the Holsters claws, those
in the slender claw are pointed, small
er, and far more numerous than those
in the jaws of the larger claw, which
are rounded and blunt. The slender
claw with its sharp teeth is used for
Selling and holding; the powerful,
chubby jaw, with its blunt teeth, for
crushing. 1t sometimes happens, how
ever, that the Holsters big claws are
alike. There was awhile ago at the
New York aquarium u 13-pound lob
sler, a very big lobster, but not nearly
80 big as the great lobster now there,
whose two big claws were both pinch
ers
The lobster eats crustaceans of va
rious kinds, CLAIMS and crabs and
shrimps, and so on, and it catches and
eats live fish. 1t will eat dead fish, too,
but it prefers live ones. 1t cracks the
shells of crustaceans between the blunt
teeth OF its crushing claws and then
eats the meat, with perhaps some small
fragments of the shell. 1t catches
fish in its slender big claw The lobster
may lie partly under a rock, or con-
cealed under some marine vegetation,
with its big claws extended and half
buried in the sand. The slender claw
with the sharp teeth is open, like
pair of shears. One cutting edge-that
of the lower part of the claw, which is
buried is level with the surface; the
other and simmer part of the claw is
raised at an angle in the water. The
lobster can work its cutting claw much
more quickly than its crushing claw,
and can close it very suddenly.
Along comes a fatfsh swimming
perhaps between the open jaws of the
Holsters sharp claw. when there is
clear water, Then down comes the
upper part of the claw, catching the
flatfsh about midway of its length,
and maybe cutting it half in two. The
tiatfish can squirm and wrggle, but
escape is impossible. Pretty soon the
lobster reaches the fish over to the
crushing claw, and in it's more ponder
GUS jaws the fishs head is crushed.
Then the lobster proceeds to eat it.
OF the long, slender legs on either
side of the Holsters body those to-
ward the rear of rhe body are pointed
at the end, while the two forward legs
on each side have each little pincer
claw. With these claws the lobster
holds the food to its mouth, which is
just below the projecting, pointed ter
Inination of the shell in front. About
The mouth there are number of appen-
dages, operating at different angles,
which serve as cutters. and cut of

F., ters takes off but little at Il time. but
they all keep going, and the result is
an almost continuous supply of food.
The pincer claws hold the food up to
the Holsters mouth, and gradually, as
the lobster feeds, the part remaining
becames smaller and smaller, until
finally it all disappears.-N. Y. Sun.

which would make an annual cost OF

tiers could hardly be considered any
better, comparatively speaking. The
bill is annually about $4,000 100000, not
including the cost of inebriate asylur1S,

Fires Easily started.

The ease with which fire may be
started and the apparently inexplicable
causes which may produce one are both
emphasized by a happening in an up
town house. The mistress of the house
was seated in the extension parlor in
the afternoon alone and perfectly quiet,
when. without warning, hanging book
shelf broke from its fastenings and
slipped to the floor. On its way it
struck a small table standing beneath
it, and knocked over box of matches,
igniting two or three of them. These
flew off, one touching the light gauze
scarf which had hung from the table.
which fell blazing against the curtain
near by. The frightened screams of the
mistress brought a servant, and it took
energetic measures on the part of the
two women to eXtinguish the rapidly
spreading fire. Had the room been I'M
tenanted, as it had been all the morn
ing and would have been again Is min
utes later, it would have been a case of
fire department succor to have saved
