Let us Protect our Birds.

Editors InteUigencer: Ole pair Of birds,
taking those Of average reproduction, will
il FIVE years have produced very near four
thousand. Our game birds are more proli-
fc than this. for n pair Of pattridges
will, within that time. II unmolested, pro-
duce four times as many as any Of our
other feathered friends.
Every one has noticed the decrease in
numbers of birds within the past few
years, and almost every one is ignorant of
the cause. There is one thing that Ger.
tainly helps their destruction, and that is
tho Wholesale Collecting Of eggs. Very
few know low manv boys have a collec
ton Of bird eggs. To have q lot of eggs
does not satisfy them, but their chief
delight seems 10 be in robbing and de.
%stroying The nest and often trying to kill
the parent birds, who try to protect their
property
This should be stopped some way. 1t is
Illegal. The State prohibits the destruc.
ton of nests and the killing of birds out
of q specified season. This law Is violated
oftener than any, and still we rarely if
ever hear Of an offender being punished
The decrease in our birds must to a very
great extent be due to the countless eggs
destroyed by thoughtlessl law breakers-the
bird egg tends. Z.

Chief Joseph took n Drink.

New YORK, April 29.-Chief Joseph, of
the Nez Perces tribe, came on here to par
ticipate in the ceremonies in honor of
Grant, and, like many other distinguish
ed persons, was neglected.
Last night the big chief strutted through
the corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
he looked lonely. There was not a friend
in sight. Just then Colonel Il. S. Yerga-
son, of Hartford, Conn.,, came up. He
decided that every courtesy should be
shown to Joseph, and, walking up to the
Indian Chief, he said:
"Talk English?"
"No talk English, nc talk" replied the
Chief.
'Take a drink ?" inquired Mr.. Yerga-
son.
Without a murmur, without a seconds
hesitation, with a face that was as calm as
4 cobblestone, Chief J Joseph arose from his
seat. The Connecticut Yankee moved to-
ward the barroom and the Chief was at his
heels. Sundrv winks were exchanged
with Colonel Jim Grey, the barkeeper, as
a result of which a large glass of tirewater
was produced and placed before the no.
be red man. With the same impertur-
bable calmness Chief Joseph raised the
glass and drained it at a gulp.
All efforts to engage him in converse
ton failed.
"No talk English, no tall" was all he
would say, and after waiting in vain for
a second invitation to irrigate the innor
man, Chief Joseph withdrew.
The fact that he had violated the law
and was liable TO two years. imprison-
ment and a fine Of $500 for serving liquor
to an Indian did not occur to the head
barkeeper of the Fifth Avenue Hotel I'M
til this evening. lie is, however, still at
large.

Ali the People were Astonislled.

NASHVILLE, May Gan airship. on
which Prof. Barnard, professor of physi-
cal training of the Y. NJ. C. A. of this city,
has been at work tor a long time, made
its initial journey to-day. The ship which
was in process of com pletion for weeks at
a secluded place near the exposition
grounds, was brought off this morning TO
the great establishment Of ever most of
the officials of the exposition, as the Sc
cret had been carefully guarded.
At Ills o'clock the professor announced
to the several officials present: "Well,
Pm off" and mounted a bicycle contriv-
ance attached to a tremendous balloon at
the top with sails or propellers al the
front and sides. The curious craft arose
as gracefully as an eagle. In mute Won
derment the assemblage stood gazing at
the ship as it rose to a great height and
then Just as Prof. Barnard had declared
he made a bee line over the course of the
Northwestern railway at a speed ofabout
10 miles an hour.
"The wind is rather sti1f,'' said Prof.
Barnard, "and would bear me in the Iii.
rection of GAINESVILLE, but I e don't p
that the wind shall dictate my course,
and l shall select my W and 70 toward
Memphis"
Inc laSL trace Vi his derlal UlcyCl6 VlSl-
BILE showed that he was keeping his word,
as we'll as can be judged of the receding
object. The ship attained a height Of
about half a mile and moved westward at
about Is miles an hour. Professor Bar
nard stated thatafter reaching an altitude
of 500 feet he would reverse the ship
as evidence that he had control of it,
and that all was we'll with him. This he
did.
The ship is Of watermelon shape, rs
feet long and 20 feet in diameter and sails
lengthWlse. Instead of the basket at
tachment of a balloon, it has a bicycle
frame, and by means of the pedals and
the handles, the propeller and the side
sails are controlled. The propeller ex-
tends 10 feet in front of the machine and
consists of reversible sails about one
twentieth the size of the balloon part
overhead. At either side of the machine
Is a te-shaped sail about three feet long
by two feet wide. These also are reversi-
bic and are controlled by revolving lie.
vers. The balloon is filled with hydro
gen gas, and is made of silk and cotton.
Professor Barnard returned to the city
tonight. He had gone about II miles
when n of the propellers broke, and he
was obliged to descend, which was easily
done. He will make another trip in q
few days. lie is greatly pleased with the
success of the trip.

Many, many moons ago, waen young
