EAGLE COATED WITH ICE.
Maine Weather Too Much for the
King of Birds-Easily Captured
In Icy Fetters.

A large bald eagle was captured
at Rockford, Me-, a few days ago
by party of men out sealing
on the ice-pack in the bay. One
of them deserted a black something
standing upon a small hummock. At
first it was supposed to be bit Of
wreckage, but when the boats got near,
er it was seen to be an eagle.
One of the party started out to stalk
it, and the others laid by to watch.
Presently they saw the hunter lift his
gun and take aim. a moment later he
took it down and, arising, walked up
to the eagle, which did not move.
On joining the first man the hunters
found that the eagle was covered with
ice, and that its wings were securely
frozen to its sides. The bird was I'M
able to move, and after being bound
with rope was put into the cabin of one
of the fishing boats.
A few minutes later there was a tre-
mendous ado aboard the boat The
warm air in the cabin had released the
birds icy bands and it was tapping
about the cabin, overturning crOckery
and smashing the glass in the skylight.
One of the men jumped into the cabin
and tried to grab the bird. He was
knocked over. severely clawed and,
thoroughly dazed, was dragged out by
his companions.
When the bird had tired wreckng
things in the cabin some one suggested
that it be smoked into stupefaction. So
a piece of tarpaulin was set on fire and
hurled down upon the cabin stove. In
its fright this was knocked off the
stove by the bird, and the boat was in
a fair way of being burned up when
one of the men ended the excitement
by firing two charges of buckshot into
the birds head.--N. Y. World

REAR ADMIRAL BUNCE
One of the Bravest Officers in the
United States Navy.
During the Civil War He Received
the OfhciaI Thanks of the Navy
Department-WinR Retire from
Service December %.

After a service OF more than As years
in the United States navy, during which
time he made an enviabe war record
and otherwise distinguished himself,
Francis NJ. Bunce has reached the high
est rank in the gift of the navy depart
ment. With the retirement of Rear Ad-
miral Thomas o. Selfridge, Commodore
Bunce has added another star to his
collar decorations and another gold
band to his sleeve. He reached the rank
of rear admiral on February 6, 1898,
Just 46 years and months from the
time he entered the service, in 1851.
Admiral Bunce, says the New York
Times, is sailor of the old school.
During his long career in the navy he
has visited many foreign countries and
seen much active service. He was born
in Connecticut December 25, 1886. His
early life was spent in that section of
the country, where he received such ed
ucation as the schools afforded. He en-
tered the navy in 1851, and was appoint
ed an acting midshipman in May, 1852.
He was sent to the naval academy, from
which he was graduated as a midship-
man five years later, and was attached
to the gunboat Germantown, in the
East India squadron, until 1860, when
he was promoted passed midshipman.
During the same year he was assigned
to the Brooklyn, in the Gulf squadron,
engaged in the Chinqui survey.
1t was not until early in 1861 that
Admiral Bunce, then lieutenant, saw
any active service. From that time I'M
til the close of the war he was in many
of the more important engagements,
and was mentioned in special orders
and received the thanks of the navy
department for brave and heroic serv-
ices rendered.
He was appointed executive officer Of
the Penobscot in 1862, and in that YES
sci took part in engaging the confed-
crate batteries at Yorktown, Va. For

a time Admiral Bunce did duty with
embarkation of the heavy artillery and
mortars for use in the batteries in the
investment of that place by Gen. Nc
Clellan. He took part in the skirmis,hes
with Forts Fisher and Caswell. He
commanded a successful boat expedi-
ton up Little river, between North and
South Carolina, destroying several
schooners and large quantities of cot
ton, turpentine and resin, together with
extensive salt works.
He was on board the Penobscot when
that vessel captured the Pnbert Bruce,
and for services rendered was placed
in charge of the ship as prize master,
and brought her to New York in No
vember, 1862. He served on the ships
of the south blockading squadron, and
in the operations on the Stone river,
South Carolina. In 1863 he was COM
missioned lieutenant commander, and
during the winter of that year sounded
out and buoyed and removed obstruc-
tons from interior channels from Stone
river to Morris island. He operat ted
with Gen. Gilmore, and had charge of
the embarkation and transportation of
Gen. George c. Strong's brigade of five
regiments through these channels to
Morris island. He commanded the
naval part of this attack on July 10,
1863, which resulted in the capture OF
Morris island to Fort Wagner.
He was attached to the monitor Pa
tapsco and took part on that monitor
in all the actions in which she was en-
gagged during the siege of Charleston,
and also in the night attack on Fort
Sumter. He again received honorable
mention in the report of Commander
T. Ii. Stevens. He was wounded by the
explosion of cartridge in action in
November, 1868.
He was appointed on the staff of Ad-
miral Dahlgren and was in charge of
the scouting and picket boats of the
squadron before Charleston. He served
in the South Atlantic blockading squad
ron on several OF the monitors until
he was ordered north in September,
1864, to take command of the monitor
Monadnock. He took that vessel from
Philadelphia to San Francisco. This
was the first extended sea voyage ever
made by a monitor.
AT the close of the war he was placed
in charge of the Boston navy yard, and
remained there until 1869. He was
commissioned commander in 1871. and
a cap,ain in 1888. Between these years
he served on many important commits.

flares open at both ends, like the en-
trance to speaking tube, enabling the
gliding kite to pass over all knots.
In using dynamite it usually would
be necessary to send the kites aloft over
an enemy's encampment or man of war
without lights. When kites are aloft
at night it is often impossible to deter
mine the exact direction of the upper
part of the line, which may drift into
a different air current, but by means of
this messenger kite, with its signal
lanterns, lights can be sent up the line
with astonishing speed.
Mr.. Eddy's plan to use the appara tus
for war purposes on land or sea would
be to first send up strong line of tan
dem kites in the darkness, and when a
mile or more of line is out to sail up
the line a messenger signal kite with
its lantern, and to follow this up with
dynamite dropping kite as soon as the
signal kite lodges in the calculated po-
sition.
Heavy weights can be carried up the
line by the wind, this brings only aques-
ton of the extent of the messenger

night was seven feet in diameter, but
it carried up several pounds, counting
its own weight, and one lantern.

IMPORTANT WORKS
DESIGNED FOR CUBA
4 NEW WHARF AND RAILROAD
Contracts by the Government ior
the Establishment of Important
Enterprises.

Cuba is waking mp under the influence
of American enterprise and capital The
latest development is a United States Gov
ernment wharf and railway, the former to
be located at Triscorino, village of 500
inhabitants on the short of the harbor OF
Havana. and the latter to run to the mill
tary camp at Regali, connecting with the
Matanzas branch of the United Railways
of Cuba The line will be miles long.
These enterprises, while undertaken by
the Government because of the military
advantages TO be gained thereby, will be
of immense advantage to the mercantile
interests of the island. There has hither-
to been no wharf in the neighborhood of
Havana, except in the city itself, where
steamships could discharge or load cargo.
The proposed Government wharf will be
between 800 and 400 feet in length, insur-
ing 50 feet of water, sufficient for large
steamers 1t will be constructed of tim
Der subjected to a treatment with creo-
sote and will thus be enabled to resist
the rayages of the teredo worm. Numer-
Gus sheds and warehouses will also be
erected. but no arrangements looking TO
their construction have yet been entered
upon.
The railroad will be constructed accord
ing to Pennsylvania Railroad specifica-
tions Leaving Triscorinio and turning
eastward toward Matanzas, 1t will keep
close to the shore and later strike into the
country The road near Havana will be
double tracked with a single track toward
the eastern end. 1t is expected ultimately
to carry the doubIe-track system through
out the entire line.
The Government gave publicity to is
plans November 20 and received bids for
the work on December l. The contract
was let the same day to the Anne ican IN
dies Company. of No. 100 Broadway. New

situation.
