CLEVER TRICKS OF RAVENS.
Some Think the Bird Must Possess the
Power of Reasoning.
the Philadelphia Times

From the Philadelphia Times.
Many stories are told of the clever
ness of the raven, bird that really
seems to have reasoning powers. One
of these stories tells how a raven by a
skillful stratagem got young hare for
it's dinner. 1t had pounced upon the
little animal. but the mother hare
drove it away.
Then the raven slowly retreated. en-
couraging the mother to follow him.
and even pretending that he was afraid
of her. In this fashion he led her con-
siderable distance from the young one
and then suddenly, before the hare had
time to realize the meaning of the trick,
he rose in the air, flew swiftly back,
caught the young hare in his beak and
bore it away.
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steal food from
a dog. They leased him till he grew so
angry that he chased them from the
spot, but the artful birds turned sharp
ly around easily reached the dish be-
fore him and carried off the choicer
bits in triumph.
AS to the ravens power of speech,
the following story, which is given on
the authority of Captain Brown, who
vouches for its truth, will show how
aptly it can talk:
gentleman while travelling through
a wood in the south of England was
startled by hearing a shout of Fair
play, gentlemen; fair play" uttered in
loud tones. The cry being presently re-
peated, the traveller thought it must
proceed from some one in distress and
at once began to- search for him. He
soon discovered two ravens fiercely at
lacking third. He was struck with
the appeal of the distressed bird and
he promptly rescued him.
II turned out that the victim swas a
tame raven, belonging to a house ir
the neighborhood, and the cry that il
had used so opportunity was one OF
many that it had been taught to utter

Pittsburg the Home of Mormonism.

that Pittsburg is the home of Mormon

through the Divine revelation the

written the basis of Mormon doctrine
and faith, stole a manuscript formu-
lated by Sidney Rigdon from Pitts

proof of his assertions. He lately re-

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Wrecks Will Hereafter Be Promptly Removed
from Rivers and Harbors.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE river ana
harbor committee has begun work in ex-
ecutive session on the forthcoming river
and harbor bill. Good progress was
made. but the tentative decisions from
day to day on various items will not be
announced until the bill Is completed.
The first definite action was to consider
favorably a provision for more prompt
ness in relieving harbs of wrecks and
derelicts. Under the present law the sec
rotary of war must notify the owner of a
wreck by advertisement for 30 days be-
fore any action to sell or remove is pos
sible. In the meantime the wreck may
cause much damage and bring the traffic
of harbor to a halt.
The Marine Exchanges of New York
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore
called attention to the need of a revision
of the law. and as a result the coming
bill will give the secretary of war ample
power to act promptly as to wrecks and
derelicts when an emergency is pre-
sented.
The river and harbor committee was
in extra session. throughout today. on
their bill. The discussion before the
committee had led to general under
standing that the total Of the bill will
be about $12,O0O,00O or $13.0OO.0O0.
