The loon is found in all the north.
ern states. 1t is very awkward
bird on land, but a graceful and
rapid swimmer. 1t is a rema rkable
diver, and it is thought that no other
feathered creature can dive so far
beneath the surface or remain so
long time under water. A speci-
men was once found attached to the
hook of a fisherman's IS set line in
Seneca lake, it having dived nearly
100 feet to reach the bait. 1t feeds
on lizards, fish, frogs, all kinds of
aquatic insects and theroots of fresh
water plants, usually swallowing its
food under water 1t is a very large
bird, about 3 feet in length, and
spreads its wings fully 5 feet. 1t
builds its nest in marshes, near wa
ter, of rushes and grass, which it
twists together in huge heap ON
the ground, usually among tall
reeds. The eggs, usually three in
number, are little over inches
long and in color of dull greenish
ocher, with indistinct spots of dark
ber, most numerous toward the
broad end. During the winter this
bird lives near the seashore, espe-
cially in the salt marshes on the
Long Island coast and along the
shores of the Chesapeake, but in the
summer it goes as far north as
Maine and breeds there in great
quantities.--Detroit Free Press.

CONSUMPTION.
Medical Expert on the Dangers of Con-
tagion From the Disease.

meuicai Expert on the Dangers of Con-
tagion From the Disease.
Knowing that there are more
cases of almonary consumption at
Colorado Springs in proportion to
its population than in any other city
Or town in the United States. and
perhaps in the world, l wrote some
time ago for information to DIR. S.
E. Solly of that city, we'll known as
writer on consumption and china
fology, and whose experience in the
treatment of that disease has been
large and extends over a period of
many years. In reply l received the
following:
"The dangers of contagion from
a consumptive are so easily control
led that it is by no means necessary
to separate consumptives from
healthy persons. You ask me con-
corning my experience here. At
least third of our population are
consumptives. The town, which con-
tains some Is, 900 people, has been
established 90 years. An inquiry
made by disinterested physicians in
to the number of cases of consump-
ton that were known to have origi-
mated in the town resulted in a re-
port of 90 in all. Although it is
probable that our brilliant sunshine
and dry air more quickly destroy
the vitality of the bacilli than your
eastern atmosphere, yet in the poor
er lodging houses of the town there
are many i'll ventilated rooms, in
side or on the north side of the
building, inhabited by consumptives
and their families, where reckless
ness of eXpectoration and careless
ness of ordinary cleanliness are
marked features of their domestic
menage, yet cases of contagion do
not average more than one a year"
At Colorado Springs the consump-
tives mingle with the other resi-
dents of the city on all occasions
at church service, theater, concerts
and in the overheated and crowded
rooms of private residences during
social functions. They reside in the
same hotels, boarding houses and
private dwellings with those not af-
! fiicted with the disease, and no at
tempt at isolation has been made.
Notwithstanding this apparent in
difference on the part of the local
authorities to the contagiousness of
the disease only 90 cases have origi-
mated in Colorado Springs in 90
years.
At Davos Platz, in Switzerland,
where I spent winter a few years
ago, a very large number of con-
sumptives were staying. The hotels
were crowded, and of the 500
strangers in the village about 1, 600
were consumptives. AT the hotel at
which | staid there were about 12O
guests, about so of whom were con-
sumptives. AT Davos, during the
winter, the invalid's day for outing
is limited to 4 a hours. The remain
der of the "a hours is spent within
doors. No one stood in dread of con-
tracing the disease, and no cases
occurred in which it was conveyed
from person to person. No special
precautions were taken by the ply
sicians and local authorities to pre-
vent contagion other than good ven
tilation of the living and bedrooms.
AS in Colorado Springs, no cases of
the disease originated at Davos.-

MODEST ooN PAUL
BILL OF NEARLY NINE MILLIONS
PRESENTED TO THE ENGLISH
GOVERNMENT.

LONDON, Feb. 18.-The secretary Of
state for the colonies, Joseph Chamber
lain, announced in the house of COM
mons today that an official telegram
that had been received from the Brit
ish agent at Pretoria, capital Of the
Transvaal, on Tuesday, conveying a
bill Of indemnity presented by the
Transvaal as a result Of the Jamison
raid. The bill, he added, is divided into
two heads. The first asks for the pay
ment of f677,938 IS Sd as a material
charge, and under the second head the
Transvaal asks for f1,000,00O for moral
and intellectual damage"
Mr.. Chamberlain further said that
the foregoing demands do not include
the legitimate private claims which
may be advanced.
The telegram from the British agent
also says that the indemnity is to be
paid by the British government, cor
caused to be paid by Them" apparently
suggesting that the government compel
the British Chartered South Africa
company to pay It, or, IN default, that
the government must foot the bill.
