MATERIALS OF BIRDS NESTS
Strange Composition OF Some Odd
Specimens.


The instinct of birds does not compel
them in building their nests to use only
familiar materials. The Literary Di-
gest translates from French period
zeal the following examples Of birds
facility of adaptation:
\ birds nest was found in the suburbs
of Lille That was composed of white
wool and Of strips of paper from a tele-
graph Office where the Morse system is
used, situated several miles away.
The bird must have made consider
able number Of trips, for the quantity
of paper was large, and it had made
good choice of material, for everyone
knows that paper is bad conductor of
heat; it holds heat well, and one does
not need to have Travelled around the
world to have found out that on jour
ney q good-sized JOURNAL Of stout paper,
like the English newspapers, holds heat
as well as blanket.
Near Besancon another nest was
found, made wholly of watch springs,
evidently taken from the factories in
the neighborhood. Here the selection
was less happy, for metals are good con-
ductors of heat. Finally, near a spot
where large St. Bernard dog is kept
was found a nest built of hair detached
from the dogs coat. In this case the
inspiration was evidently good.

INDIAN ANTIPATHY TO FISH.
Why Some Tribes VIII Not Use Them
as Food.

Why Some Tribes VIII not Use Them
as Food.
At recent meeting in Baltimore by
the American Folklore society, DR..
Washington Matthews, of Washington,
D. c., read paper on "1cthyophobia,"
which he described as an antipathy to
fish. This aversion is especially strong
in the Navajo, Apache and other Indian
tribes of the far southwest, who will
not eat fish nor have anything to do
with articles made in the shape of fish.
This taboo" with the Navajos extends
to all things connected with water. A
probable reason why no more children
of these tribes are sent east to be edu-
Gated, DR.. Matthews thought, was q
fear that they might be required to
overcome this cherished taboo" super
stition, which is as firmly rooted as
any religion, says the Baltimore Sun.
A legend to account for this fish

GERMAN CAPITAL
To be Invested in Big Steel Plant
Near Chicago.


Chicago, July PA company OF
German capitalists and steel manufact-
urers has begun the construction OF an
immense steel plant upon ground pur-
chased from the Pullman Company,
just outside the limits of Pullman and
will undertake the production of steel
upon, large scale. Twenty acres of
ground are to be covered with build
ings. The new plant will be one Of
the largest steel producing works in
America, ard means the active compe-
tition of the German manufacturers
with American producers upon their
own, ground. The company is said to
be operating similar plants in Ger

ENGINEERING WORK.
Great improvements That Have Been
Made Since the War Begun.

Washington, July 22.-Chief En-
only keeping abreast of the constant
requirements of vessels in time Of
war, but also is shaping the engineer
ing work so as to make it of perma-
nent value. The Key West station
was of little account when the war be-
gun, but gradually it has been built
up until now the engineering bureau
has a large establishment there with
100 men in service, and materials to
make speedy repairs without the de-
lay incident to sending ships north. A
step of permanent advantage to the
navy is the providing of distilling
ships. These carry large apparatus
for transforming ordinary sea water
into pa,atable drinking water. Or
dinarily tank steamer carrying fresh
water has comparatively small ca
pacity probably 5000 or 1000 gallons,
but by the process of distilling, one
pound of coal will transform 20 pounds
of sea water into fresh drinking water.
The distilling ships, therefore, carry
ample supplies of coal for their dis
tilling apparatus, as the coal repre-
sents twenty times it's weight in fresh
water. The Iris and the Rainbow are
now being fitted with distilling ma
chinery.
The engineering branch has re-
Gently completed its work on the three
Old single turreted monitors, Man
haitian, Canonicas and Mahopac, lying
at League Island navy yard. This
work was done in a curious fashion
IN order to save time. Ordinarily the
putting in OF new b>ilers. such as were
needed for all three CT these monitors,
would have required the tearing ND Of
the iron decks and some elaborate re-
construction. To obviate this the
boilers and machinery were made M
in small sections and passed down the
smokestacks. The work is now fin
1shed with the decks in as good con-
dition as before
AS another war expedient. Chief En-
gineer Melville has adopted the plan
OF having duplicates made for all i'm
portant parts of steam machinery on
the war vessels. so that when a break
occurs it can be remedied in short or
der. The supply ship Vulcan, which
recently went to Santiago. carried a
large assortment of these extra parts
and is ready to meet any emergency.

BLANC0'S PROCLAMATION.

re Announces the Fall of Santiago, But
Says the Army Will Triumph ut Last.
Havana, July 22.-Capt. Gen. Blanco
has issued the following proclamation
announcing the equalization of San
tiago. 1t is dated Havana, July II:
After three months heroic defense
ind many bloody combats, owing to a
scarcity of ammunition and victuals,
the garrison of Santiago de Cuba has
been forced to capitulate under honor
able conditions and with all the hon
ors of war. This occurred on the day
of July 16, when it was recognized by
the brave Spanish general of the di-
vision who was acting commander OF
the place that resistance was useless
and that he could no longer hold the
place. Notwithstanding that rein
forcements had been possible, and
that although he should have received
such from Manzanillo, and although
he should still cover further losses
and bloody combats, and although he
might put the city in a better condl-
ton of defense, he was still face to
face with the fact that achievements
would only make further inroads upon
the already greatly consumed and
nearly exhausted store of provisions
c. the Spanish garrison. The city was
thus placed in a very lamentable con-
dition. The situation was anticipated,
but it caused great depression to the
Spanish forces.
The occupation of the city of San
tiago by the military forces OF the
Americans is lacking in strategic i'm
portance owing to the fact that the
city had previously been closely block
AIDED for a long time by the American
ships and will have little or no effect
upon the future development of the
Spanish campaign which is to decide
Spain's fate. The Spanish army is in
tact and eager for glory. 1t is willing
to measure arms with the Americans,
and in this army the king of Spain,
the Spanish government, and the whole
country places the trust of defense at
any cost of the integrity of Spanish
territory and the honor of SPANS i'm
maculate flag. This army is sure to be
triumphant and victorious at the last
in spite of so many dangers and i'm
pediments, and that it will show once
more the indomitable Spanish charac-
ter and the well known military tai
ents Of our people, is the hope and
expectation of your general-in-chief.

vile could be completed at a cost OF

The Chamber should take some ac-
ton, said Mr.. Patterson, in extending
the telephone lines to the West, etc,
and to connect this place with the
various points in the vicinity.
Mr.. J. c. Buxton spoke of an inter-

TRUST STOCK DROPS.
The Common Shows a Shrinkage of
100000 In Ten Days.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 27.-The Re
public this morning says: There has
been shrinkage of over So, 600, 900 in
value of the common stock of the
American Tobacco Company within
the last ten days. The bulk of this
loss has been sustained since the ne
gotiatiOns for the purchase of the big
DrummOnd plant in this city became
public. Yesterday the stock went
down 50 share from the high point
of Saturday, the total drop within the
last ten days being Sl4.75 share
This decline on the S2l 900, 900 of COM
mon stock of the company brings the
loss up to the enormous figures given.
In anticipation of a further drop the
bears in the St. Louis market have
which tends TO still further break down
the market.
Yesterday it was said that the
money for the Drummond plant had
not been paid, and that the deal would
not be closed for several days, if,
in fact, it is closed within the next ten
days.
1t is asserted by persons who claim
to be on the inside that the price to be
paid for the Drummond plant. instead
of being based upon $40, 900. 600. was in
reality based upon $4,000, 900 for the
plant and goodwill of the ST. Louis
company. The same persons declared
that the actual purchase price of the
Brown plant was $3.50, 900.
1t was officially given out by the
trust officials that the purchase price
OF the Brown plant was 81. 30, 600.
