4 flying squirrel had hidden himself In a nest of young catbirds in tree near the courthouse at Milford, Pa He had eaten two of tho young when the mother discovered him. Her cries at~ tracted . dozen robins, cloud of spar rows, and pair of pugnacious wrens, who made common cause against the foe. They chased the squirrel in and about trees and surrounded him. The repeated strikes of their beaks brought him to the ground, and they fought one another to do vengeance. Even after life was extinct the birds turned the body over and over. A large crowd was attracted by the unusua; sight.--N. r. Recorder.

GIANT LOCOMOTIVES.
Heaviest Railway Engine in tho World In
 Old Mexico.

Heaviest Railway Engine In tho World In
 Oid Mexico.
 The heaviest locomotive in the world was made at Providence, R. l., and is in daily operation on the most difficult and mountainous section of the Mexi- can Central railroad It weighs 26o,00O pounds, or 13o tons, and is especially designed for mountain climbing.
 The railroad men call it Siamese, because 1t is, in fact, two locomotives permanently united. It Is used for the purpose of freight trains. and is unique in the mechanical world
 The locomotive was designed by r. W. Johnston, and his professional rivals said that it was impracticable. The same was said of the first railroad loco- motive and of the pioneer steamboat. The locomotive Is double in all its parts, in fact, two locomotives end to end, with a single cab in the center. One single stiff frame carries the two boil CTS and driving mechanisms, each ma chine resting on three rollers which arc placed close together The difficulty of running this colossal engine on com. paratiyely short curves is met by so arranging the fore and rear parts that they accommodate themselves to the curves. The engine, therefore, despite It. great length, can go around much shorter curves in safety than the ordi- nary single locomotive.
 The mechanical arrangement of the driving wheels was the chief difficulty met with by the builder. The crank shafts of the driving wheels are provid- ed with immense ball joints near the cylinder heads, so that when the driving wheel assumes an angle other than 90 degrees in reference to the frame the crank shafts connecting with the cylin- der heads and the driving wheels follow the movement of the wheels without injury 10 the engine.-N. Y. Journal.

LEXINGTON, Mo, Aug. 1s.-Capt Cooper, commanding the Midland Scouts division of the Salvation army at this place, was arrested yesterday on the charge of disturbing the peace by giving an unseemly parade on the streets the previous night. The Saliva tionists had advertised coffin meet ing at their tent, and with muf1ied drums and solemn tread the coffin was carried at the head of the parade and attracted a large crowd of people.

MUSIC PLAYED AT A CIRCUS.
Different Animals Require Airs Suitable
 to Their Motions.


 Consumptive musicians have no place in circus brass band. The player of an instrument who would travel around the country in the uniform of the great est show on earth must have leather lungs and good constitution, as we'll as musical ability, for it Is music that makes the circus go, and, as the circus Is going pretty much all the time, so must it bc with the music.
 There is all the difference in the world between circuis music and a symphony concert, but the leader of cicrus band has to be just as much of an artist in his way IS the leader of a symphony or chestra. Carl Clair, a composer of many songs that have met with popular favor, has for long time had charge of the military band that travels with the Barnum & Bailey show.
 "The music has to be arranged with special care to each act" said Mir. Clair, speaking of his work. "All the trained animals are particularly sensitive to music, and so accustomed have they be- come to the correct pauses and drum signals that If there should be any de- lay in giving them the animals would simply wait for them Take, for in- stance, the entrance of the great herd of elephants. It is preceded by blare of music from the band. If the music was omitted the keepers would have to drive the beasts in with their prods.
 We have to change the musical pro- gTamme in the main several times a sea- son, for tho reason that performers be- come tired of the same old tunes and get listleSs. I make 1t my business to pick up all the popular airs of the sea- son and arrange them for the band be- fore they start out. Lively dance music, particularly pollas, are needed all through the show
 "We have to do more than double the work of an ordinary band. We have, when on the road, 10 play for the parade in the morning; then we play continu- ouely during both afternoon and even- ing performances. I select young men for the band, as they do not feel the strain so much as old men, and are quicker in making the many changes in uniform required of them
 Aerial performers are very captious about the music we furnish them. They nearly all want slow. dreamy waltz while flying through the air. They want the pauses made clear and distinct, na it Is largely from them that they take their cues while making their midair leaps. l know many of them who will stop in tho middle of their act if there is any hitch in the music.
 Heavy grand marches. played as slow as dirges, are whst the elephants want while they are performing, ns such music suits their slow movements. There are no animals 70 susceptible to music, however, as horses. Marches and dance music, played slowly znd with an exaggerated sta1eato, are essential to their acts, particularly In that thrilling act when 51 horses perform in con- centric circles. Tn this act the animals seem to know just the precise moment when to move, start or stop by the strains from the band. So it is with the ringg horses which the equestrians ride. When the music stops they in- stantly come to halt."-Boston Jour nal.
