Tl,o Vooilerous ui,,o Jay,

New York Tribune: The blue jay Is

When the deepest SHOWS cover the
ground he may he seen fitting about
IN the sunny tops OF the pine and
hemlock trees. his winter coat is
hardly as brilliant as the plumage lie
wears a few months later, during the
mating season, but the markings are
the ame lie is about one-tifth larger
than a Robin. His general color is
pale blue; the wings and tail, which
are darker blue, are barred with black.
The splendid blue crest of the male is
erected when he is fighting for his
nestlings or in any way excited. The
throat and under parts of the bird are
"a pearly white, and he wears u black
collar. There was never a greater mis-
homer than the name jay applied to
4 foolish, awkward person. Inc jay is
no guy among birds. He is one of the
most beautiful us we'll as one of the
most intelligent of all our native birds.
He possessesaM the wit and love of
mischief which characteristics the com
MOI crow, to whom lie is so nearly re-
lated. Thorcau quotes Il letter to Will
son, the ornithologist, 10 show that the
jay the squirrel and some other birds
and animals, lays up a winter store of
nuts, corn and hard seeds in post holes
and similar places. His thievish habit
and taste for the eggs and young of
smaller birds keep the jay in %contin-
uer discord with his %neighbors. No
sooner are his nestlings fairly tledged
than they are attacked by the robins,
orioles and other birds in the vicinity,
who will blind them with their sharp
beaks, or %overturn their nests, if the
parent birds leave them for an instant.
The young jays in such an emergency
will sometimes seek human protection.
Last summer four young jays, who had
been driven from their nest, cnsconced
themselves in one of the rooms and on
the upper piazza of Il woodland cottage
showing less fear of the inmates than
of their bird enemies, who watched
them from n distance. Here the moth
er bird fed the little ones, while the
magnificent plumaged male bird kept
guard and drove away all aggrcssors.
The jay makes a most interesting pet.
he has a crows love of jewclry and
glittering objects. which he will steal
and secrete with his store of treasures.
Like the magpie. he belongs to that
subfamily of the crow family known
as the garrulinae. These are all noisy
birds, possessed of somewhat remark-
BILE powers of imitation. In captivity,
it is snid, the jay has been taught to
"words,"

"A Candle Set Fire tn the Frelate's
Robes During the Ccle-
bration of Mass.
New York, April 1.-Two priests
were painfully burned while celebrat-
ing mass, and 600 children were thrown
into a panic at St. Malachi's Roman
Catholic church, Brooklyn, Saturday.
Father Thomas Comiskey, one of the
curates, acted as celebrant of the mass
and Father N. Ward, rector Of the
church, ofiiciated as deacon.
On the side altar, which was covered
with flowers, were nearly 300 lighted
candles. At one Of the impressive parts
of the ceremony Father Comiskey
stepped over to the side altar, and as
he did 50 one of the candles toppled
over and fell at his feet. The priests
yestments, which were long and OF
light material, were in u blaze in an in
slant. Father Ward ran to his assist
ance and his robes also caught fire.
Sisters Edtha and Dominica rushed
forward, however, and succeeded in
tearing the robes from the men, but
not until after both priests had been
painfully burned. X
While this was going on there was q
panic in the church. The children
made a wild rush for the door and the
majority of the adults Joined them. In
the rush several of the little ones
were knocked down, but none of them
seriously hurt.

TO CONCENTRATE At ATLANTA

Washington, April 12.--The present
plan Of the war department is to aug
ment the regular service by 10000
men. Secretary Alger is inclined to
believe hat this is insufficient for all
the needs of the campaign likely to
open with the invasion of Cuba, but
for the present this numerical strength
is understood to be the immediate in-
tention of the department.
The national guardsmen will be per-
mitted to volunteer before there is a
general call for other men.
The state soldiery are fairly well
equipped and have had some experi-
ence in military customs and duties.
Naturally the officials have u prefer
ence for them.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the strength of the augmented army,
as has already been related in these
dispatches, but the officials in charge
of supplies have made arrangements
for no larger force than 10000.
General Graham, commanding the
Department of the Gulf, has recon-
mended Atlanta, Ca, as ssaaxstnt of con-
centration. He reports that the mu-
nicipality has appropriated $1,000 to
furnish a water supply and other fa-
%cilities for the army.
The war department people r con
sidering New Orleans and Tampa as
other points of concentration, from
which speedy access to Cuba is af-
forded.
The orders to the Twenty-ffth in
fantry-the regiment intended for Dry
Tortugas-have been changed. The
two companies will proceed at once to
Key West on recommendation of GEN
eral Graham, who is in command of
the Department of the Gulf.
The remainder of the six companies,
ultimately intended for duty at Dry
Tortngas, will be quartcred at Chick
a,naaga pending orders from Washing
ton to move south. 1t has been found
that these companies can be accommo-
dated at Key West, and that the water
supply will be sufficient for their
needs.

Mr.. Barker's consent to publication has

Mr.. Barker for nearly two years has

the Spanish hospital. Mr.. Barker, it
was expected, would refuse to contrib

less, his sympathies with the Gu
