Animals In Laibacn's Earthquake.

An observer of animal l;fs has col
hcted (our Vienna correspondent says)
a number Of notes upon the behavior Of
animals during the earthquake at Lai-
bach A railway guard observed that
seine minutes before the first shock was
felt his owl, chained to a Toulouse,
cried as if for help, and he was with 1t
when the earthquake began. Some for
: est guards observed hares running, as If
for their lives, up hill before the first
shock. Partridges flew long distance.
A gentleman who spent tho night Of
Easter Sunday in carriage saw the
pigeons and hawks on tower flying
round it every time that shock was
near. Sparrows and redbreasts also flut,
tered about and seemed to overcome
their fear of men The most excited Of
al were the horses. They trembled long
before a shock occurred, and some fell
an their knees and sides. The dogs
6pwled the whole night. When shock
was near, their cries were SO strange that
they struck the ear as something not
beard before. London News.

DO FISHES rALkf
Here Il Testimony From y Man VIZ
Thinks They Do

Thinks They DO
We have heard of the language Of
monkeys, and of the language of hens,
and of the language of crows, and even
Of ants, but it will be new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes hava
a language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr.. Basil Field, has been
making some Investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way of communicating notion Of their
experiences to other fishes
Mr.. Field carried on his experiments
in the fishponds of Mr.. Andrew, at
Guilford, England. Those ponds are full.
Of trout, which, at the time when Mr..
Field first visited them, were so httls
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight-a great number
rushed eagerly upon it. He caught
one, and removing it from the hook.
<hrew it back into the pond.
Then he put in a freshly baited hook.
and only two or three trout came after
it. One of these he caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with a newly baited hook,
and this time, although TIE pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after o
long time that he lured another trout tc
his bait And after a little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
q trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth-
CIR pond equally we'll stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as h<
chose The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one Of tlaeir
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
If. Mr. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes bacl.
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger Is learned, aud then is learned
Instantly, it must follow that the re-
leased fish has some means Of making

BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY WINS.
United States Supreme Court Sus-
tains the Last Berliner Patent.

Washington, May 1.-THE Bel! 1ele
phone Company has Won he case brought
against it by the United States to alnul
the last Berliner patent. This decision
has the effect of continuing the control
of the telephone by the Bell company for
seventeen years from the date of the last
patent granted, 1891. The government
asked to have the patent set aside on the
ground that the delay of Il years in the
patent office was fraudulent through a
fault Of the telephone company. and that
the patent issued in 1850 covered the same
ground on which the new patent was APP
piled for in 1891. The supreme court, in
an opinion delivered today by Justice
Brewer held that there was no evidence
of corruption or undue influence exercised
over the patent office by the telephone
company and no evidence of delay in
granting the patent had been brought
about by the company. The delay was
through the fault of the patent office.
The court held that in order 10 set aside
the patent the government must establish
grounds of belief as clear and satisfactory
as is necessary to set aside Il land patent.

VIII ShooC Sixteen Miles.

The Watervleit arsenal, near Troy,
has begun work preliminary to the
casting Of the largest gun in the Uni
ted States. 1t Is to be Of siXteen-inch
bore. The United States has built
two of the larger caliber for coast de-
lenses, but they were old-fashioned
smooth bores, and not to be compared
to the new gun in size, weight or any
thing except caliber. There are two
twenty-inch guns, one of which Is
mounted at Fort Hamilton, and one Of
which lies on the ordnance dock at
Governors island. These guns were
not startling successes. The one at
Fort Hamilton has been fired few
times. and each time its recoil has
raised the very dickens with its car
riage.
The new gun will be nearly fifty feet
long Ito be accurate, 49.G7 feet will
have a range of sixteen miles and be
able to penetrate twentyseven and one
half inches of the best steel armor at
a distance of two miles. The gun will
weigh 120 tons and it will throw a
solid armor-piercing projectile weigh
ing 2,370 pounds. When the projectile
leaves the muzzle Of the gun it will be
travelling at the rate of 1000 feet a
second, and If a plate of harveIZed
steel thirty-three inches in thickness
were placed near the muzzle Of the gun
it would be penetrated by the flying
mass of the projectile.
This gun, mounted at Fort Wads-
worth, would be able to hurl 1910
pound projectile upon a hostile man-of-
war before she got within seven miles
Of Sandy Hook. England has in her
coast defenses and her navy sixteen
guns of 16-inch caliber and France has
eight. Italy has twenty-five guns of
1I-inch caliber. The new gun. work
upon which has now begun at Water
vliet, will be superior in effectiveness,
however, to the Italian guns, although
they do have one inch more caliber
The maximum diameter of the breech
of the new gun will be siXty-two inch
es. The diameter of the breech open
ing is twenty inches. To fire this guh
will require a charge Of 1,0GG pounds
of powder, if the usual brown prismat-
ic kind is used.-BOstOn Glade.

WESTERN FEDERATION OF MINERS.
President BOyce Urges the Members
to Arm Themselves with Rifles.

convention of the Western Federation or
Miners was called to order YESTERDAY pE
President Edward Boyce of Wardner'
Idaho, with about 10 delegates present
representing Arizona, Colorado, Caliior-
ria, Idaho. Montana, Nevada and Utah
The address of the president was sCme-
what sensational. He announced that
the best thing which the members OF the
federation can do is to arm, and he urged
that all members see that ways ana
means are provided so that every mem
Der can be furnished with she latest rifles
that can be obtained from the factory at
a nominal price" He added;
Il entreat you to take action on this
important question so that in two years
we can hear the inspiring music OF the
martial tread of $4,000 armed men in the
ranks of labor"
On the subject of National Guard
President Boyce says: The constitution
should be so amended as 10 declare all
of the members, ineligible to member
ship, and withhold our patron
age from all companies and individuals
or organizations where any member OF
the national guard is employed or admit
ted to membership"
He further said: Corporations are con-
stantly reducing the wages of their en-
ployes fastening upon them bondage
from which there is no escape. IF the lat
ter object they are easily suppressed by
the courts of the cOuntry-these august
tribunals that stand ever ready to exc
cute the will of their corporate masters,
before whom labor has no rights that
capital is bound to respect, or be shot
down by those $13-a-month murderers that
compose the National Guard
Eugene v Debs was present during the
proceedings Of the convention.
