BIRDS CARRIED BY PkLICANs.
Some Curious Observations Made b. Consul
Plumacher In venezusIa.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-United States Consul
Plumacher at Maracaibo, Venezuela, gives In a
letter to the State Department some personal
obser vatlons regarding the question whether
certain small birds migrating from one country
TO another are carried on the backs OF other
birds. That they DO so travel. he says. Is q
fact that cannot be denied. He has seen 10
upon several occasions, and has lately had
such clear proof of IL that he IL entirely con-
WINGED.
There come TO the shores Of Lake Mara
caibo." he continues. at a certain season Of tho
year an insect-catching bird Of double the
size Of a canary bird and much resembling one.
though Of grcenish plumage. These birds
travel in pairs. and can b. seen during a cer-
tain time of the year around the horses grazing
near my residence. They live on the insects
and flies which bother the horses. They sit
on the back and on the head Of the animals.
I have seen them many a time cleaning the ears
OF the animals from the wood ticks. The horses
know their little friends and allow themselves
with much satisfaction to be relieved from the
insect pest.
Not long ago-it was In the time OF the
Final Revolution-one morning about sunrise

ernor Of the District Of Paez. who during the revo-
luton was my guest on the shore Of the lake
under the cocoa palm trees Of my house watch
ing the gunbontS of the Castro party Greer ing
up under the opposite shore. when We noticed
a flock of pelicans come over our heads, flying
toward the lake. The pelicans were flying
low aud one old big bird landed in the water
not fifty feet from where we stood. lie seemed
very old and tired.
while We watched the bird we heard the
ohirping OF small birds and were astonlshed 70
see two pairs Of the green inseotvorous birds
emerge from between the wings OF the large
bird and fly Justify to the shore. where We found
them later sitting among the horses, catching
insects. The old pelican rose from the water
and followed his flock when they left him.
This class Of insect-eating birds are called
'Garrapateros.' That they cannot fly for any
length OF time is well known. I conversed with
Gen. Bernado ftnedo NelaSco. AZ that time also
my guest. and he AS well as Gov. BaItolome
Gonzales affirmed the truth Of the theory that
these birds take their passage on the back Of a
stronger bird and said that they had often OBJ

I'm THE STOCK MARKET.
Advances Que to Large Outstanding Short
interest.
MANIPULATION AGAINST THE SHORTS
Bidding of stocks Carried Prices
Away from the Bears In the
Crisis of Their Distress.
ANIpulATlON AGAINST THE SHORTS

Now York. September 27.-Todsy's note
worthy advances in prices of stocks were
primarily due to the existence Of large
outstanding short interest Manipulation
against the shorts was also obvious ana ID
the hands of strong and resourceful inter-
ests The bidding UP OF stocks carried prices
swiftly away from the bears in the very
crisis OF their distress and there was not
able recalling of stocks which have been
loaned to the shorts on advantageous terms
for a long time past. This could only De
the result Of powerful manipulation to force
the shorts to buy stocks to cover. but While
these facts were obviously true. the upward
reaction could hardly have been more pre-
cipitated or extended to the length 1t has
without a strong reYusion nj speculative
sentiment from winch the depression mas
Induced liquidation for some time past Al
most the entire credit OF this Revision must
be given to the growing conviction strength
oued By significant admissions from autnor-
itatlVe sources that active negotiations are
going forward between the anthracite coal
opef 3tors and the miners and tnat basis
OF settlement has been formulated with good
hopes OF success. The recovery 10 prices
WAS astonishing considering the small i'm
precision thar has been made on the price OF
coal carrying railways since the strike has
been in force and which has given the i'm
preston that there was little short selling
beng done on account OF the strike. The
strength of the market was continuous after
an opening dip in prices due 10 the chagrin
lot the bears, who were driven to cover last
night on a rumor of the coal strike settle
ment, which was not confirmed this morn
ing.
Bonds opened in sympathy with stocks.
Total GALES, par value $3.50 900.
