TILE ERIclArE RIRn

The frigate bird is endowed with
magnificent powers OF flight His wings
stretch to an eNpanse OF about ten or
twelve feet; his body is about three
feet in length; his bill is very power
ful, and his feet are webbed, but very
small; but for these he has but little
use, as his home Is in the air hun
dreds of leagues away from the land.
He is seen soaring high above the
ocean; but on its bosom he never rests.
When he seeks repOse. he finds II alOfr
His foot rarely touches land, except
at the time for pairing, making nests
and rearing young.
The expanse of his wing is so great
and his body is so light that he can
soar with little or no exertlon. Still, It
is difficult to see how this would en-
able him actually to sleep on the wing,
as Ii Is believed he does
A closer examination shows, how
ever, that his bones are hollow, and
that there Is large pouch communi-
eating with his lungs and with the
cavities In the bones. This pouch he
can initiate with air, and thus render
himself bu0yant; the sustaining power
thus acquired. added to that of the
wings, is sufficient to keep him up.
If his home be in the air, If he
neither dives into the sea for fish, nor
searches on the land for other food,
whence does he derive his sustenance?
Impelled by hunger, he descends from
the lofty regions where it Is his delight
to dwell. Whether the sea be rough or
calm, he glides along over the water,
and any unwary fish approaching the
/ surface Is pOunced uDOn instantly and
swallowed
But the bird has other resources; (;
though he cannot dive into the sea 10
catch fish. he avalls himself of the la
bors of birds than can. He watches
one OF them; sees It come out of the
water and fly of with its prey. At
once the frlgate bird is down upon him
with swoop of terrific velocity. The
frightened diver drops his fish in mid
air; the frigate bird polses himself
again, darts down with another swoop
and seizes the fish ere 1t reaches the
water.-New York Herald.

HOT FIRE IN BOSTON
Iserge Grain Elevator Totally
Destroyed.
WHEAT RINC LETTER A HEAVY LOSER
Caused by an Explosion of Grain Dust
Loss Over Half AInlion-Largest
Fire That Boston Has Ex-
perienced Since 1893.

BOSTON, April 1s.-The roof of the
grain elevator at Hoosac tunnel docks,
Charlestown, was blown completely Off
by dust explosion at 4 o'clock yester-
day morning, and the fire that followed
1t not only destroyed the remaining
portion of the immense structure, but
consumed nearly the entire contents,
over 1000 bushels Of grain, mostly
wheat. The steamer Cambreman, which
had Just finished loading at the dock,
was towed out without injury. but some
of the small tenants adjoining and
building used as a distillery by Chaplin
& Trull were damaged more or less by
the debris from the roof
The loss Is estimated by the fire un-
uerwriters at nearly 100000 making
fire loss that has not been equaled in
this city since 1898. The explosion not
only shook UP the entire section OF
Charlestown. but was noticeably felt
in the city proper and in many of tho
suburbs. Coming at such an early hour,
the tremendous jar aroused half the
city, and the flames which followed,
shooting 200 feet In the air, were suffi-
client to not only cause great rush of

three-q quarters of the fire department,
Including the two horseless engines and
fireboats, were massed In the immediate
vicinity, but not before the entire struc-
ture was boiling with smoke and lame.
When the first firemen arrived. they
found some of the streets impassable'
for portions OF the roof were in every
direction. Great timbers had been
blown 100 feet in the air by the force Of
the explosion, and many of the upper

the ground floor. He was hurled against
the side Of the building and, although
fearfully battered and torn. managed
to crawl 10 a place of safely before the
fire enveloped the structure.
The entire loss is covered by insur-
ance, which falls alike on fire and ma
rine companies. as much Of the grain
was In process Of shipment from the
west TO Europe. The individual losses
cannot yet be estimated, but the grain
itself was valued at about S400, 900. The

stated that over so per cent OF the

put their plants into the combination
on plan similar to that of the late

There is some earnest opposition to

would endanger this city's prestige as
a furniture center. but the four princi-
pal companies that make case goods.
the Berkey & Gay company, the Widdi-
comb company, the Sligh company and
the Nelson Matter company. have agreed
to go into the combination. 1t is un-
derstood that negotiations with the

WHAT KANSAS PEOPLE READ.

1 had another surprise when i went
into large book store and asked the
proprietor what the people of Kansas,
so far as he could observe, were read
ing. He showed me a stack of the re-
cent novels in vogue, a great many
volumes of historical works of the
highest grade, attractively bound
copies of the poets, and added that
there was probably a larger sale pro
portionately of high grade books in
Kansas than in the East, where there
was a large foreign population. I was
prepared for that, but, in return for his
thrust and as an ardent gold standard
advocte, asked:
"How about Coins Financial
School?'
'Why, we haven't sold a copy Of that
book in more than year. j don't be-
believe that fifty copies of it have been
sold in Kansas in all that time"
Book store proprietors in other places
in Kansas told me the same thing, aud
/ mention it not In disparagement Of
the free silver propaganda admit
that there are two sides to that-but
as illustrating vividly the fact of the
decadence Of feelings Of hostility of the
West toward the East which such
works inspired. The Seven COnspira-
cies" and Great Red Dragon books
the circulation OF which was not con-
duclve to good feeling between the
Eastern and Western commOnwealths
