Ku,nnT Kan.an OCTOPUS"

From the Kansas City Journal: Once
In a while one of the slaves and serfs
gets his knife into the railroad octopus
and churns IL up and down at fright
full rate. A Union Pacific locomotive
set fire to field of wheat In Russell
county recently. and $50 acres OF 1t
were burned, while ten acres remained
standing. The claim agent for the rail-
road agreed with the farmer that the
ten acres should be cut and threshed,
and that the railroad would pay for the
burned grain Just in proportion to the
WELD from the unburned portion. 1t
happened that the ten acres left stand
ing contained the cream of the crop.
and It threshed out thirty-three bush
els to the acre, while 1t is estimated
that the whole field would not have
averaged more than fifteen bushels.
The railroad stood by its agreement.
and the farmer realized more than
twice the value of his crop. The claim
agent says that until the settlement
had been made all the farmers in the
neighborhood swore that the ten-acre
patch was not as good as the $50 acres
burned, and then they went to growing
over the manner in which the railroad
had been cinched.

bleeding Revived.

1t seems that the old system of bleed
ing patients may be revived in certain
cases to advantage. A man who had
been poisoned with laudanum, and who
was practically dead, had life and
strength brought back to him by re-
moving the poisoned blood and replac-
ing it with the constituent parts of
blood, letting nature do the rest. This
was successfully accomplished in
Philadelphia hospital recently.

In regard to the food of the noble
falcons the department of agriculture
Mt Washington, through the labors OF
observers attached to the division of
ornithoIogy and mammalogy. has made
some interesting reports.
Among the contents of falcons stom-
sehs have been found the remains of

rare instances and swifts,
with now and then king birds and
purple martins.
That these two last mentioned
known as exceptionally swift flyers and
Inyeterate hawk fighters. should fall
the victims OF hawks may be accounted
for only in one of two ways-they were
either surprised while at rest by the
sudden dash of the falcon or they were
taken when young, before they had
attained full power of flight. No hawk
or eagle. however swift OF wing. could
overtake in full flight such darters as
the swallow, the chimney swift or the
king bird.
The hawks proper, forming differ
ent group from the falcons, are for the
most part shorter winged. and therefore
slower and more clumsy. These in
clude the red tail, the broad-winged,
the red-shouldered Swainson's hawk
and others. They are seldom quick
enough to capture birds, or even mice.
and must content themselves mainly
with snakes. toads and the less active
OF the lizards. together with the larger
insects and spiders. Two of this group
may be named as exceptions to this re-
mark-the goshawk and the marsh
hawk. The last is an especially active
bird. as 1t must be to capture its prey,
which consists chiefly of field mice.
plovers. snipes and even at times wild
ducks.

These comprised the long-wlnged
hawks, which take their quarry while
1t is in motion. never approaching II
stealthily, but always making their
presence known by flying aloft, while
watching for chance to sweep down

To the naturalist there are few sights
OF more absorbing interest than to

pursuing a chosen victim. Yet 1t Is
anything but an easy task to keep an
eye upon It. in case 1t extends Its search
for a meal over a large extent of coun-

thus be seen to advantage. except per-

Its quarry is discovered.

The pigeon hawk, a size larger than
the sparrow hawk, is equally swift,
ferocious and death dealing. Still more
dreaded perhaps by the smaller birds
is the sharp Skinned hawk. Its larger
cousin, the cooper's hawk, is an active
hunter OF more sizable prey. such as
the wild and tame pigeons, half grown
barnyard fowls. doves, quRils and
grouse.
There Is really little chance to escape
from the onset Of these two formidable
hunters. Like n swift winged fate. they
seldom come but to kill. and the anx-

As the undisputed leader of the noble
falcons. the very prince Of these robber
barons of the air. we may name the
peregrine falcon. better known in our
country as the duck hawk. This dread
ed hunter sights a flock, or a single
bird, flying so high as to preclude its
possible return to the ground before
he can reach It. He then actually flies
downward, adding the tremendous i'm
petus OF his wings to the force of grav-
ity. and thus attaining a speed that the
eye can barely follow.
As he nears the earth he sets his
wing and, without checking his speed,
alters by a short curve the direction
OF his flight from the vertical to the
horizontal. Thus sweeping along paral-
lei to the earth, with a speed that the
observer compares with that of can

Prank A. Cois's Death
Prom Tuesday s Daily.

The many friends of Frank 4. Colo were both surprised and shock cd last evening to learn of his death at Cherry creek yesterday morning. Mir. Cole had been a sufferer from stomach and liver trouble, 1t is stated, for long time, but the fact was known only to a few of his more intimate friends, as he seldom com plsined. About three weeks ago he came tO town for medical ass. stance. While, as stated, some of his friends knew of his ailment, none seemed to think lt was of q serious nature, and the announcement of his death was q surprise to them also.
 Deceased came here several years ago m the employ of the Commer- clsl Mining Company, and was an excellent accountant. After the | above company went out of business, he filled various positions of trust, among them being for time mana ger Ot the Prescott Electric Com pany. He was only 43 years old, and was universally esteemed. He leaves a wife and child to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and alice tionate father.
 A team was sent out last night to bring the body to Prescott, and it Is expected to reach here some time during the early part of tonight.
 Whether the funeral will take place here, or whether the body will be shipped east, is not yet known. Deceased was member of the Woodmen's Lodge, and his widow will receive S2,50O from that order.

Makes Morphine HarmIss..

Dr. William Ovid Moore read a paper before the Academy of Medi cine lately upon "The Permanganate Treatment of Opium Poisoning" and he declared that he could say with a great deal of confidence that he had found in the permanganate of potash an absolute antidote 10 opium narcosis. The oxydization of morphine by the permanganats ren- dered 1t absolutely free from toxic properties, he said.
 Most of his experiments have been upon himself, as he was so extremely sensitive to even the smallest dose of morphine, that he could early deter mine the efficacy of the antidote. Permanganate would select nor phine among albuminous matter and would not affect other alkaloids, such as atropine. He had begun with one-si1th grain sulphate of morphine, and had on one occasion taken two grains of morphine four hours after dinner, and followed it with three grains of antidote; at another time he had taken, two hours after breakfast, five grains of morphine, and, in a few minutes, eight grains of the antidote, in water. That was in January last. There was no effect from the nor phine whatsoever, he said, while, had even one-eighth of . grain been by his system, he would have felt it immediately.
