Prodigy.
There are not many boys Of Is who
can construct electric motors, Undue
ton coils, a pocket telegraph and make
apparatus by which the Marconi sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy can be sep
arated.
Edwin c. Donnell, a little New York
lad, who enjoys the distinction of a
grand-nephewship to Horace Greeley,
has mastered all these electrical mys-
teries, and bids fair to be the twentieth
century Edison.
Young DOnnell is regarded as an cleo
trical wonder by his family and
friends. He has always been a thought
full and studious boy. Three years ago
he picked up a weekly publication for
boys and girls and read an article on
electricity. 1t aroused his keenest in
terest. From that day to this he has
devoted his spare time to the study OF
electrical laws, and after many months
of solid effort, his reward has been the
construction Of a wireless telegraph
system, based on the ideas Of Marconi.
His ambition is now TO telegraph
across the Hudson River. according to
the Marconi system.

Ostrich and Kangaroo.
Chicago Chronicle; Il was eviden
from the opening Of the new ANNA
reservation In Lincoln park tina
there was bad blood between the loni
ostrich and the scarcely less copsolet
kangaroo, bat Keeper De Vry, know
ing their p~eculiarities, thought that tn,
entente cordial might be restored az
ter a few months sojourn in a foreign
land. The l%ong-eared animal with tnt
muzsle Of a rabbit and the legs Of 9
grasshoDper, seemed disposed 70 make
overtures, but the bird was obdurats
and manifested his u~nfeigned dislike
for the antipodean. From the date OF
the Fitzsimmons-Jeffrie contest IN the
east the ostrich treated his neighbor
with disregard, which the kangaroo
f%ruitlessly sought to correct in physi-
cal encounter. Twice up 70 yesterday
the two disagreeable members Of the
colony came to blows. but the meet
ing was indecisive. While the Sunday
crowd was surging around the great
Enclosure near the lake the ostrich
took the ~kangaroo's tail in his bill and
pulled 1t savagely. Now, a kangaroo
is peculiarly tender about that section
Of his anatomy and bob" no matter
how indisposed he might be on or
binary occasions, could not afford from
ordinary self-respect to let such an in
suit pass unnoticed. There was a
clean break-away, another grapple and
fur and feathers went flying. The os-
trich had the right ear Of the beast in
his powerful bill ana-seemed to be
rapidly disengaging It from the rest OF
his body. Bob" on the other hand,
had grasped the bird in bear fashion
about the midships and appeared to
have the better Of the argument. MIR.
De Vry overheard the fuss and, rush
ing into the reservation, disengaged
the principals, with the aid Of half a
dozen assistants. Kangaroo and os-
trich we're winded like genuine prize
fighters and had to be carried away.
Hereafter they will occupy separate
and widely removed quarters.

Any one who has observed a dancing
bear has noticed that he makes only
backward steps. The trainer raises
the cord attached to the nose ring so
high that the bear is forced to stand
on his hind feet. Then the trainer
steps heavily on one Of these hind feet,
which the bear at once lifts up and
draws back. The process is repeated
with the other foot, then again with
the first, and 50 one throughout the
lesson After several lessons the bear
begins TO appreciate the advantage Of
raising his feet before they are stepped
on, and so he begins his dance as soon
as the cord is raised. With young
bears some training and practice are
needed before they can even stand
steadily on their hind legs.
