PIG ROAST FESTIVITIES.

Bernard Herman Entertained His
Friends Saturday Night.
A fifty-pound porker disappeared sud
denly on Saturday evening last from
Bernard Kiernan's cafe, corner Of
Greene and Franklin streets. 1t all
happened in this way: Some friends of
Mr.. Herman presented to him pig as
joke but not to be outdone Mr.. Herman
ordered his pigship dispatched, made
arrangements with taAEell known bak-
cry to stuff and bake the porker, and
served 1t up with allythe fixlngs which
accompany such occasions; and royal
good time did about seventy-five to
one hundred friends Of Mr.. Herman
have with singing, dancing, Rotations,
etc. William Shay prompted. and he
also later in the evening favored the
party with several solos, Eugene Smiths
orchestra furnished music for the occa-
sion. Jack" Williams representations
brought down the house. Michael KEEL

Very few of Mr.. Kiernans friends up
to Saturday evening knew he could
dance In any more than an ordinary
way, but the way he danced the High

professional and was a revelation to his
many frlendsA 1t is safe to say that he
will be called upon at no distant day to
repeat his effort of Saturday evening.
The efforts of Benjamin Lynhan, Mr..
Eiernan's assistant were great factor

THE BRITISH WAR UNIFORM.

The question which Mr. Brokfeld has
put down to be addressed to the Under
Secretary of War to-day, regarding the
question of uniform In war time, Is OF
the highest interest and Importance.
Mr.. Brookfleld asks whether care has
been taken to provide all the troops sent
on active service in South Africa with
helmets or helmet covers of khaki, or
some similar color, not easily distin-
guishable by an enemy; and whether
there is any foundation for the report
that the officers of the guards are to
wear white haversacks, while their nom
commissioned officers and mems are OF
khaki. There can be little doubt, we
fear, that the serious mortality already
reported among our officers in the en-
suing campaign must be partly attri-
buted to their distinctive dress, and in
the case of certain regiments Is is said
that the uniform for both officers and
men affords telling mark for the enc
my. 1t Is particularly important that
nothing should be worn over the khaki
which spells its comparative invisibilty.
Shoulder straps and small distinctive
marks are of course. necessary and de-
sirable, but the more free the Khaki uni
form Is from the ranks the safer 1t Is
for its wearer. With regard to the OFF,
GERS the position is somewhat difficult,
for whereas there Is very natural de-
sire to render their dress as protective
as possible, on the other hand it is abso-
lutely necessary that their men should
have no difficulty in distinguishing
them from the rank and file. In the
present war when the, enemy are Prov
Ing themselves expert marksmen, the
question Of dress Is one to which the
military authorities may be trusted to
continue to pay the very closest atten-

Non-Freezing wnter Pipes.

The Germans, who are so far ahead

Of the invention is not only to prevent
the water from being frozen, but to
provide an opportunity for its expan-

BIRDS SHY OF WINDsTORMs
r.ctcs They Pursue o Escape Impending

Tactics They Pursue o Escape Impending
Danger.
The power Of the winds is dreaded
nv almost all ordinary birds, and an
distinctive knowledge seems to be pos
sessed by them that if they once sur
ronder to the force of the winds IN
known dangers will have to be faced.
consequently, when a high storm pre-
rails. all birds seek shelter of some
kind. The strong winged sea birds are
lac last to take fright at the approach
ing hurricane, but even they will final
~ try to escape its fury beneath the
Shelter of some cliff or sand dune.
During tremendous windStorms birds
NAV sometimes be seen flying overhead
at great altitude. When this phe-
nomenon is observed it may be taken
for granted that the upper atmosphere
is comparatively quiet and that the dis
urhance is confined chiefly to the
lower regions. Many sea birds seek
the upper air of common quietness dur
ing tropical hurricanes.
When a heavy wind or gale springs
ND the gulls, terms and petrels will
Ay back and forth over the waters
surface, rising and falling. and utter
ing their peculiar cries of warning. If
the storm extends too high up they will
drift gradually with the wind or fly
away to the edge of the hurricane.
Very often they get caught unaXpect-
eddy in the gales of wind and they find
themselves in a dangerous position.
Then they struggle with might and
main against the powers of the air
currents. Knowing that danger and
death face them if they once come
under the dominion Of the wind, they
use all the strength and tactics they
are capable Of to combat the elements.
A young herring gull. n petrol or tern
thus surprised will beat up against
the wind with powerful flight. 1t will
rise high in the air. facing he gale and
making a little progress forward as
well as upward. Then it will suddenly
! descend with rapid fight toward one
side of the storm-swept path, but fall
ing off at the time in the direction of
4 the blowing wind. Once more it will
Il sweep around and face the storm, as
