The Bird Of Freedom,

The American Eagle voiced his SEN
timents on the 4th of July, 1776, in the
great and only Declaration Of hide
pendence, but he did not take shape for
several weeks after that day. Immedi-
ately after the declaration had been
read to the Continental Congress,
meeting in Philadelphia at that time, a
resolution was passed creating Benja-
min Franklin, John Adams and Thom-
as Jefferson, all well-known gentle.
men, to be committee to prepare q
seal of the United States. On the 10th
day of August they reported, bringing
in combination consisting principally
of Goddess of Liberty, Goddess OF
Justice, and an Eye of Providence with
very small and insignificant eagle in
one corner of the device. Incidentally
also on the device was the legend, "E
Pluribus Unum." Although the eagle
at this time was not much of a bird, it
still seemed to the Colonial Congress-
men that something was wrong with
the report OF the committee, and the
seal had such bad effect that the re.
port was laid on the table, where it
stayed until 1878. In March Of that
year 1t took fresh start with new
committee, but nothing was done until
1881, when among several designs SUBJ
mitted was one from William Barton
Of Philadelphia, who made the eagle
prominent, and described the bird as
emblematic of sovereignty. Another
design was furnished by Charles Tom
son, secretary of Congress, and the last
design, and the one finally adopted,
was endorsed "Mr. Barton's improve.
ments on the secretary's Device"
which made some changes In Mr..
TOmson's designs, and this was adopt.
ed June 20, 1882, at which time the
great American Eagle made its first
and genuine appearance in the history
of the great republic he is under a per-
petual engagement tc scream for.

Mischief Made by a Muskrat.

A little muskrat caused more trouble
in Buffalo the other night than is ever
known to have been caused by one OF
the animals. This particular muskrat
succeeded In cutting off the electric
light supply of nearly the entire city,
and it was an hour before the cause
of the trouble was located and re-
moved. With the exception OF an iso-
lated district here and there the en-
tire town was wrapped In total dark
ness. Main street was one long avenue
Of gloom, broken only by lights in
windows by private plants. Everything
had been running smoothly at the DOW
er station Of the Buffalo General Elec-
trio company when the startling dis
covery was made that the water in the
boilers and condensers was rapidly
going down. An examination Of the
valve that lets the water in through
the big feed pipe that runs out into
Buffalo river was made, but the valve
was open as it should be. The valves
on the boilers and condensers were OK
amined, and they were found to be all
right, too. The water in the boilers
dropped lower and lower. until finally,
in order to avoid an explosion, it was
found necessary to bank the fires and
shut Off the draughts. This done, the
dynamos no longer supplied current
for the lamps, and the lights went out.
The trouble man was called to the sta
tion. He quickly located the trouble
in the feed pipe. 1t was cut, and after
some fishing around he dragged a
muskrat out of ths pipe and dropped
1t on the floor.

Bright Spars Disappearing.

Bright spars, that is to say, unpaint.

ing from the deep-water ships of the
world, for the reason that such ships
are no longer built of wood, but of
steel, as are also their lower masts,
and often their top mast, and, it may
be, their yards, too, up to and including
their topgallant yards, and these are al
ways painted. There is four-masted

topgallant masts and jigger topmost.

Of iron and all painted. Her royal
