Wednesdays happenings at Madrid
The main point of interest here at
present is the composition OF the new
cabinet. and it is expected .hat Mr..
Woodford will not neglect To obtain
and cable to his government the
earliest information possible ON that
point.
In administration circles opinions
are fairly divided as to the outcome,
whether the new cabinet will be hb-
eral or conservatives, and rs that is the
matter of gravest Importance to our
government rs influencing the line OF
policy to be followed as to Cuba, there
is a ST ong desire to obtain informa-
ton as To the prospects.
Diplomats familiar with Spanish
affairs say the conditions point to one
of two results. namely: the complete
collapse of the conservative regime.

Barnum engaged DR.. Lille to build

it was the great drawing card at his

Lille himself saw that he had cor
rectly solved the problem Of the ap-
plication of electricity to mechanics,
and his lectures attracted the attention
of Prof. Henry curator Of the Smith
sonian institute, who induced him to
apply for a patent. In 1850 the first
patent ever issued by the government
for an electrical motor was given to DR..
Lille, who built a model for the Smith
sonian institution, which was a great
improvement over the first, and which
carried further his idea Of a motor.

staying all winter in the place they are

"Of course it is little early to state
how this will work, but the presumption
is that these birds will be better than the

ID. L. FULTON, Supt."
The importation of bird to drive
away the sparrows when it is within the
memory of the present generation that
sparroWs We're imported themselves to
abate a nuisance, recalls very forcibly
the fact that
Big fleas have lesser f1eas
Upon their backs TO bite EN-;
And these same tieas have lesser feaS.
And so ON infinitum."
When the English sparrow first came
to New York years ago, it was in answer
to a plea for the destruction of an army
of worms that suddenly beset everything
and everyone. Worms rolled off avn
ings, buildings, trees and dozen other
things upon unfortunate passers by

infested everything. No person knew

The herald., 1897-11-14

1t really seems as if at last the little
sparrow would have to go. The plan
first suggested at Pittsburg, Pa, to i'm
port StarlingS from Germany and let
them make their Anglo American
cousins emigrate seems likely to prove a
complete success. Next spring the forty
pairs of starlingS that Superintendent
David Fulton has in his aviary at River
view park, Pittsburg, will begin the
campaign against the sparrows and fight
a duel such as never has been known in
pathological history.
The starlings are of the German va
riety. Like their own beloved kaiser,
they are very warlike, and this is the
reason why they were preferred to dem
liens of Great Britain. The German
startling is a most aggressive bird and
sees no reason why he should not assert
his supremacy at any and all times.
This is what Superintendent Fulton says
about the experiments:
Several years since our city pur
chased a plot of ground in the suburbs
Of two hundred and fifty acres, COM
posed of hills and hollcws, densely COW
cred with woods. We have made sew
eral miles of drives through this park
and are beautifying it for park purposes.
The English sparrows have not invaded
that locality very much, and as we have
thousands of song birds there in sum-
mer, we propose to keep the sparrows
away if possible.
German starlings have been bred by
one of our employees with success, and
it is well known that they are great
fighters, especially where the sparrows
interfere with them. Now we are making

if it was his habit to dine at a restau-
rant.
Finally some one bethought himself
of the sparrow and thus it came to pass
that the first little Englishman was
brought to these shores. And how he
did devour the worms. We had to en-
dure the pest the rest of the summer to
be sure to give the sparrow a chance
to breed, for sparroWS never multiply
during the winter, but the following
summer when the worm dragon sought
to engulf us, the sparrow literally ate
him out of house and home and every
place else.
Then it was only few years before a
cry went up from the farms and market
gardens that the sparrows were destroy
ing grain and vegetables; that while the
worms had been bad, the sparrows We're
worse. 1t became apparent that some
thing had to be done that would free us
from this tiny Frankenstein we had Gre
ated, so far as this country is concerned,
and many We're the schemes devised. 1t
was suggested that a bounty be paid on
sparroWs' heads just as it is in some
states on the heads of Objectionable ami
mails, and the small boy considered the
bird legitimate prey which he might
stone or otherwise do to death without
prospect of reproof.
1t was this state of affairs that led
Director McAffe of the Allegheny de-
partment of public works to consult with
superintendent Fulton of Riverview
park as to the best way in which to rid
themselves of the sparrows, which had
not only become a nuisance in the usual
way but was actually driving the dear
little songbrds out of Riverview woods.
The herald., 1897-11-14

So it came to pass that the starting,
which, by the way, is first cousin to
our own meadow lark, the beauty of
whose voice, the poet tells us, is so great
that it sings at heavens gate, was fixed
upon as the best of all remedies, and the
German starting in particular, because
he would fight at the drop of a straw.
The starting is about eight and a half
inches long and about the size of song
thrush. He is a beautiful bird, whose
plumage is finely CLOSED with black,
each feather having a pale tip. If you
should see him the coming winter you
would notice that he was very speckled,
particularly on the breast and shoul-
ders.
Unlike human beings, the male is
much more charming in appearance
than the female. Both are more attract
inve in summer than in winter. The
starting is a gregarious creature and
while now and then a grumbling orni-
thologist is found who declares his COM
bative qualities are such as to make
him an Ishmaelite among other birds.
as rule he is a sociable little fellow and
not inclined to be particularly vicious.
We have no love for the English SPAR
row, any of us, because he is not what
you could call an intelligent creature
But the starting we are much inclined
to like, because it has great initiative
powers. 1t can easily be taught to whis-
tie tunes, and in point of learning the
speech of man it is far superior to the
crow and next to the parrot. Then,
again, the poet has immortalized the
starting, but the sparrow has never sue
ceeded in rising above the common
place.

THE FIRST ELECTRIC MOTOR
rhe inventions in the field of electric

The inventions in the field Of electric
ity have multiplied so rapidly Of late
years that we are sometimes prone to
forget that the telegraph, telephone,
electric motor, electric light and num-
berleSs other necessities and cOnve-
niences supplied by the "formless fluid"
are strictly modern and that there are
people now living in this country who
saw the birth of electrical science, and
have watched every phase of it's growth.
America can boast of being the home
of electrical discovery and invention,
and although a few Europeans have the
orized in electricity, it is upon the west
ern continent that its development has
taken place, and the ''pathflnders" in
this greatest field of science ever opened
up to the world were all Americans.
Electricity has widened the horizon Of
the individual man more than any sin
gle force. 1t has annihilated time and
space and brought all civilized lands so
near together that the members of every
household virtually touch hands and
gossip over the events of the world ev-
cry morning at the breakfast table, for
electricity has made the winged Mercury
the type of the press, and from the ut
termost ends of the earth news and
knowledge are transmitted to mankind
every day.
Scarcely less important than this Won
derful widening and enlightening of men
by the practical application of electric
ity to transit and communication are
the mechanical aids to labor which it
affords, and when we remember that the
allotted three score and ten of mans
life has witnessed all this scientific de-
velopment, we wonder what this lusty
infant will be when it is full grown.
SiXty-five years ago, when there was
no Chicago and the Mississippi river was
"the far west" boundary of civilization,
Morse was making his brave struggle
against poverty and experimenting with
electricity. At the same time there was
in the medical college in the city of Gin
cinnati young student who, a year
later, began to experiment in electricity
and to lecture on the results of those ex-
periments. In 1887, when Morse was be-
fore the American congress striving to
win sympathy for the electric telegraph
and secure an appropriation for an ex-
permental line, this medical student,
then a practicing physician, DR.. John
