SWEPT BY FOREST FIRES.

PHILADELPHIA. April 2S.-During the
past three days forest fires Of almost IN
precedented ferceness have been raging
in South Jersey. forty miles from Philadel-
phia Already GO. 900 acres Of timber have
been destroyed, farm houses and barns de-
stroyed. and men and women and children
forced TO fee for their lives from the roar
ing advance Of the flames. The fire is still
burning and hundreds Of weary men who
have been fighting to save property since
the flames spread. are still struggling for
control. So far only one life is reported
to have been lost, but the damage to prop
erty Will reach tens Of thousands Of dol
lars and it will take a quarter Of a CEN
fury TO replace the valuable timber de-
stroyed.
The flames have been confined to farming
and timber regions in Cumberland County,
below Milville and Bridgeton. Several
villages have been threatened and have
only been saved by the hardest kind Of
work other fires have encroached upon
Vineland and Melville and the residents
Of these places have been thrown into

At the request Of the State Department
the gunboat AIachias has been ordered
from San Juan, Porto Rico, whittier she
accompanied the North Atlantic Squadron
to participate in the ceremonies attending
the Inauguration Of Governor Allen, to
Chiriqui Lagoon, on the east coast Of Co.
lombia Chiriqui was selected by the Navy
Department as the Machias' destination
on account Of information which leads the
Government to believe that the armed ex-
petition which landed recently on the
west coast of Colombia and proceeded to
David. an inland town near the Costa Ri
can border, is OF more importance than
was supposed at first.
It was believed at the time that this ex
petition. which came from Nicaragua. was
a mere flibustering party composed Of men
who desired to secure share Of the spoils
which might come from the overthrow Of
the Colombian Government by the strong
insurrectionary force now operating
in that country. Colombia evidently ac-
cepted this view and sent troops to David.
with what result is not known.
Later advices have led the Government
to believe that the expedition was directed
against Costa Rica. The Government Of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica recently with
drew their troops from their common Dor
der and this appeared to end the danger
Of trouble between those two countries. It
is evident however. that the fact that the
expedition which went to David was or
ganized in Nicaragua has made Costa Rica
suspicious of the good faith Of her neigh
Dor. At any rate. the State and Navy De-
partments regarded its information on the
subject sufficient to send the Machas 10
the neighborhood of the place where the
Nicaraguan expedition is supposed to be
instead of to Cartagena. Colombia. which
the Colombian rebels captured a few days
ago and where American capital is heavily
invested.
The Navy Department has no ship to
send to Cartagena. 1t was arranged re-
Gently that when the Detroit was relieved
from the duty Of looking after American
interests in Central America her place
should be taken by the Machias The De-
troit left Port Limon Costa Rica. on
Thursday for Key West. and in view Of
the information received about the Mica
raguan expedition it was deemed wise to
have the Machias 90 TO Chiriqui imme-
diately.
The cruiser Philadelphia arrived yester-
day at Puerta Arenas on the west coast
of Costa Rica. near the place where the
expedition landed. n was said
at the Navy Department that her presence

OF the many incidents Of the civil war

and his pathetic verse under that name

Americans. Lately it appears that con-
siderable proof is brought 10 light dis

ent living in this city, her married name
being Mrs. Virgie Quantrelle Brown. She

the real heroine. Her account OF the
incident, which is remarkably clrcumstan-

A BABY HIPPoPoTAMUs.

NEW YORK, April pa young hippo
potamus was born in the Central Park
Menagerie this morning and the event
gave much satisfaction to Commissioner
Clausen and Superintendent Smith when
the keeper reported that there was every
prospect that the youngster would live.
The last one only lived a few hours. There
have been but four of these animals born
in captivity ana each Of them is Of consid-
cradle money value. The arrival OF the
infant was not expected until early In May.
when Keeper Michael Fearns went on
duty in duty in the lion house at : o'clock
this morning he looked into the tank in
which Miss Murphy is confined and saw
the youngster swimming about on the sur
face of the water. The keeper was sur
prised and quickly spread the news. Miss
Murphy watched the movements Of the
little one with a great deal of maternal
solicitude, while old "Caliph,' the father,
was in an adjoining tank unconscious Of
the fact that there was a new member of
his family. The keeper guessed that the
baby would weight about forty pounds,
but he would only guess at its weight.

DOGS, CATS AND MUSIC.
Strange Elects of Vocal or Instru-
mental Exercises Upon the
Brute Creation.

Neither the cat 0 the dog a
compare in musical susceptibility with
the parrot, who is shaken by storms
of emotion, but we have known a cat
to show very marked pleasure in a
whistled tune, says the London Spec
tator. 1t is common to find dogs who
sing" following, to some rough ex-
tent, high or low notes of music, but
one doubts if such imitation is con-
s%cious, or based at all on enjoyment.
The dog appears depressed with low
cred head and tail, or uncomfortably
excited, and 4 kind of thrill precedes
the sounds. On the other hand, both
cats and dogs appear to be uncon-
scious of the sounds they utter until
experience or definite teaching has
shown them the result. To make n
dog utter sounds voluntarily is often
very difficult, and those who can
'sing" to order seem to exercise 4
painful tension of will. Again. excite
ment will strangulate the voice of q
dog, like that of n shy girl at a sing
ing lesson, so that his strongest i'm
pulse to appeal is mute. So, too, cats
often silently open their mouths when
they demand food.
Such facts seem to point to the cor
clusion that the noise is not purposely
produced, and that though sounds
may give warning or guidance to 9TH
er animals, the u%tterance is depend
ent on physical impulse. When the
impulse is initiative it may depend
ultimately on such sensation a is felt
ty some people in the throat when a
Bourbon stop is on the organ, and by
uos people when they hear. for in
stance, the cheering of a large crowd.
If this is so, We are on the wrong tack
in comparing the sounds of animals,
varied and specified though they are,
to language, and should rather COM
pare them to weeping and laughter,
which provoke an initiative response,
or even to the sounds of a man who
has early become dumb through deaf
ness. For in such cases it is not pur-
pose but efficient cause that must be
the subject of inquiry.
