SONG CANaRIEs OF GERMANY.
Their Home IL i'm an Entirely IsoIat-
ed Chain OF Mouataias
From Chambers Journal.

FROM thdinbers Journal.
The home of tn ese birds. the Harz. an en-
tireiy isolated chain of mountains rising
out of the plain between the rivers Leine and
Saale, is the most northern elevation of i'm
portance in Germany and lies partly in
Prussia, partly in Anhalt and Brunswick.
The best song canaries are reared here at
the present time. chiefly in Andreasberg a
town also celebrated for its silver miues.
In every house and cottage of the place you
see canaries, and on fine summers day,
when walking by, their song greets you
from every open door and window. Where
as with the other races of canaries coIcr
markings, shape and size are important
points, with this breed there is but one
their song.
The birds are usually of middle size and
strongly built: the head is large. the legs
shorter and the neck not so long as in the
common canary: the legs slant backward
little and the bird does not stand as up
right as the others. The breast ought to he
broad and strong, the eyes large and lively:
the feathers must lie smooth and the bird
ought to execute all its movements with a
sort of coquetry. The colors vary from
straw to golden yellow. some with green
markings, but deeper shades of yellow are
hot to be found among them. If we say
that these birds have to take the second
place in outward beauty of form and color
we certainly must give them the first of
all in point of song. Their entire value lies
in this.
With the utmost care and science their
voice has been cultivated for years, and
splendid results have been obtained. The
song of a really frst-claSs Harz bird is n
marvel of beauty for those who understand
1t, but Il needs much practice and a mu-
sical ear to note slight differences and faults
and to he able to choose the really best
songster among a crowd of birds.

JOHN WEsLEY's HOUSE.
Itself and It's Contents to Re Prcsery-

From the Congregationalist.


A sum of 5000 having been provided by
an anonymous donor for the purpose OF
maintaining John Wesleys house in the
City Road. London. as a permanent Wes-
ley Museum, the formal opening has taken
place. The rooms are three in number
Hundreds of American and other visitors
annually make a pilgrimage to these rooms
which are today in much the same condi-
ton in which they were in Weseys time.
Deeply interesting and affecting IS the
room in which Wesley died In the front
room is the high-backed, comfortable chair
in which he used to sit and in which the
president sits when presiding over a con-
ference. On the landing stands the Old
"grandfather's clock once Wesley's. and
on the bureau the famous teapot presented
by Wedgwood to Wes'ey. The I'D is gone
and the spout is broken, but an American
offered f2.Uo0 for the teapot. The house
was finished eleven months after the
chapel and Wesley first occupied 1T, as he
says in his journal, on October s. 1T19. The
third room on the floor is the PRAYER
room which Wesley used to enter at 1
O'Clock each morning. All these Interesting
relics are now permanently preserved.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer

rom The ihlladelphia Inquirer
The Wiliiamsport Times says:
1T Is said that one of the prominent Ium-
bernen of this city who has certain inter-
ests In manufacturing has received orders
from the government to manufacture
twenty carloads of boxes to be used in
shipping merchandise and provisions to
Porto Rico. Cuba and the other communf-
nes that have been lately acquired by
the United States. This single order is
said to be sufficient to run the establish
ment In question for the next two or three
months at full time"
Nowhere in Pennsylvania not even ex
cepting Niiiiamsport, will this informa-
ton be more gladly received than here in
the Inquirer Office. There is no prosperity
that can come TO any Pennsylvania town
which will not gladden. the hearts of ali
PennSylvauians
But is there not something in this infor-
nation assuming that It is true, more sig
hllcant than the fact that any town In this
or any other state has already profited bv
the American occupation of the former So
called Spanish provinces?
Does II not mean that once abe people
or THIS country have introduced American N
nethods llto those provinces. peopled them

\ Tribute to the Flag,
From the New York Press.


A very bright little army woman rose to
the occasion few days ago when she was
one of the guests at a smart luncheon
given at one OF the large hotels for some
distinguished New England people. II was
a large affair, and in an impromptu manner
number of toasts We're given. In the
midst of it the little army woman with
horror heard some one say:
We have among us the wife of an officer
In the regular army. and l think il is only
fitting that she should respond to the toast
The Flag The men applauded and the
women smiled encouragement, and, trem-
bling little as she held up the glass of
wine, the officers wife spoke: !
Il belong to a class of women to whom
the flag is especially near and dear All
day 1t waves ever the roofs Of our little
homes in the far frontier. and at sundoWn
the rustic of its folds. mingled with the
notes of The Star Spangled Banner is the
lullaby of our babies. We know that il will

FORESTS OF STONE.
They Exist in Various Part. of the
World.
From the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.
Old forests are apt to set into the most
impossible places and to turn into the most
preposterous shapes. All our coalfelds are
ancient forests far underground, then
crushed and cooked into a hard mineral
substance. They are forests of plants
which once grew as mighty trees, for out
side Of fairyiand who would ever imagine
a majestic woodland of club moss and
reeds. and the little sand weed called the
horsetan?
a buried forest has been found in which
the plants were all palms and tropical
creepers, proving that once the Arctic
regions We're as hot as the Indies.
In the Wash between the counties of
Lincoln and Norfolk. there Is an old for
est under the sea. with stumps of fallen
oaks and elns still visible in places when
the tide is low. This was all dry land In
the days OF the ancient Britons.
Out in the deserts of Arizona there is a
dead forest on the surface of burning rock
and driving sand, where no plant save the
cactus can now find any water When
the place was first discovered a negro cook
thought that 1t would be excellent for
camping. So he took an AK and delivered a
mighty blow upon the fallen trunk of a
bid red pine.
fls aX-head was ruined, the haft smash
ed. and his fingers so badly hurt that he
sat down and hoWled. For that tree was
changed to massive rock. which looked as
fresh as though felled but yesterday. The

been changed into valuable and beautiful

SOME GREAT EXPLOSIONS.
| seven Tons of Powder DisIodxed
100000 Tons of Rock.


From Cassier's Magazine
Among the many incidents which are on
record, one of the most notable is that of
the explosion of fifty-fve tons of blasting
gelatin which was being unloaded from a
railway train at Braamfontefn, 300 wards
west of Johannesburg, in South Africa on
fepruary lo 1896, and which was exploded
py an end-on collision. The result of the
explosion OF this enormous quantity of one
OF the most powerful explosives used was

this there was total destruction of all
pulldtngs within radius of $50 yards, while
from that distance to $50 wards all tba
buildings were shattered and the roofs were
battered IN up to about 900 yards But
az lhese buildings were built chiefly of
corrugated iron and mud and therefore
were Of a most unsubstantial character
On the other hand, we have in the United
states the blowing up of the Hudson river

INA that the dynamite the interior at
Fort Lee was over forty times as efficient

at Santiago during the late war between
The United States and Spain produced no
serious structural damage. and simply h9-
