The Bird of Death" is the only ven
omous feathered animal known to
ornithologists. 1t is found In New
Guinea. and persons bitten by the
creature are seized by maddening
pains, which rapidly extend to every
part of the body. Loss of sight, con-
vulsions, and lockjaw are symptoms
which follow in rapid succession.

The discovery of a new gutta percha

The discovery Of new gutta percha
Is reported from Zanzibar. 1t is OBJ
tanned from tree. When the bark is
cut white fluid exudes, which when
placed in boiling water coagulates into
a substance resembling gutta percha.
AS the material cools it becomes ex-
ceedingly hard, but while soft can be
nodded into any desired shape. The
fruit of the tree resembles a peach in
shape, but grows to the size of a small
melon. The tree is said to abound in
Zanzibar, and it is expected that the
new product can be produced very
cheaply,

WHERE WILL THE GROWTH END q?
Remarkable Progress of Iowa's Dollar
Daily.

Des Moines, Dec. 1.-THE recent
enlargement of the Des Moines Daily
News to eight pages appears to be
only the beginning of that wonder
full newspapers growth, many of it's
recent issues having been twelve and
even sixteen pages. The astonish-
ment among publishers at this
growth is increased by the fact that
the subscription price of the Daily
News is 81 a year, rs cents for six
months, so cents for three months.

The two-horned white rhinoceros OF
Africa is considered one Of the rarest
of animals. For years needless sports
men slaughtered the species until 1t
was thought to have been exterminat-
ed. Some time ago six specimens were
discovered in a remote corner of Mash
onaland, and hunting expedition was
organized which resulted in four much
desired mountings being secured by
museums. 1t was again concluded that
the white rhinoceros had been exter-
minated, but recently Maj Gibbons of
the British army ran across a stray
specimen in the Nile region and shot
1t. This Andrew Carnegie succeeded
in buying for the Carnegie museum of
Pittsburg and 1t is a most desirable
curio, for besides being exceedingly
rare, it is said to be a fine mounting,
standing six feet high at the shoulders
and measuring thirteen feet from the
tip of the nose to the root Of the tail.

The Dinner Hours.

The London Mail notes a change in the
dining customs of the smart set"
II was the Prince Of Wales, IL says. who
set his face against the long and heavy
dinners that used to be considered neces-
sary in smart society. Little by little the
ceremonious dinner party has been rele-
gated to a platform which it reigrs
alone, and in its place have been substi-
tuted restaurant dinners. and now as the
latest invention of all something that harks
back to the high teas of half century ago
makes its fresh debut.
II was difficult last season TO name the
popular dinner hour of smart society. 1t
ranged from to 10 o'clock in the evening
came so exceedingly much sought after by
opera and theater-goers.
This season is to see new vogue. Very
curtailed but exceedingly recherche repasts
will be eaten at o'clock or between that
hour and s. Afterwards will come the
opera or theater and directly after an elab-
crate supper.
Such a change as this should bring about
a revolution in the kitchen. For long
enough joints. heavy vegetables, even the
laboriously planned entrees of years ago
surely they will depart altogether from
polite society until some one discovers their
merits and brings them back into fashion.
Chefs in high places are inventing deli
ctously made dishes in which every detail
Is perfect-Sauces that would have tempted
Roman emperor, garnishments of pic
torial beauty. The effect on the cook OF
moderate accomplishments has been such
a shock that even in smart middle-class
society dinners at home are dying out of
fashion, and as consequence the restau-
rants are becoming more and more
crowded.
In fact, in London the cafe life of Paris
is growing common and is likely to become
more and more so with the domestic prob
lem SO difficult TO solve ii is.

Noise and Nerves.
Pittshurg Disnatch.

f1tCSDurg DlSpdtcH.
Not only has civilization introduced lot
of new noises, such as gongs and steam
whistles. but ii has produced nerves of a
quality TO be irritated by such and other
noises. 1t does not follow either that civil.-
cation must be abandoned or the noises toll
Grated Progress dictates another solution.
Unnecessary noises must be abolished
Much of the whistling and gong ringing IS
unnecessary. Pretty nearly all OF the
crashing of wheels rough pavements
can be avoided. A number of other dis
agreeable and irritating noises can be done
away with by a little intelligent effort. To
do away with them is the duty of advanc-
ing civilization.
1t is not a rash prediction that If these
unnecessary noises are stopped IL will be
found that the nerves" of society are not
wholly the product of modern habits of liv-
ing. Muscles develop by exercise-nerves
deteriorate by constant irritation. 1t Is the
unnecessary noises, more than the 1uxuries
of modern civilization, that have created
the alarming nervous sensibility Of the peo-
pie. True enlightenment takes the view
that an unnecessary, unpleasant noise is as
much nuisance as disagreeable odor.

slant and horrible death to all forms
of animal life but La Tosca, in her
voluntary fast of % months, has never
once opened her mouth wide enough
to enable these scientists to secure the
venom by any of the ordinary methods
of snake handling. The venom fang is
a long, sharp conical tooth of the upper
Jaw, by means of which the poisonous
fluid is injected into the punctured
wound. This fang is attached to the
maxillary bone, and may be thrown
forward or laid fat by a peculiar
mechanism by which the bones of the
upper jaw change their relative posi-

itself for the conveyance of the venom,
and it is also connected with the duct
of the receptacle which contains the
poisonous fluid. The mechanism OF the
bones is such that the opening of the
snakes mouth widely causes the cree

mouth is closed upon the object bitten
the same movements inject the venom,
and death ensues forthwith

When The Elephant sneezed.

From the baltimore News.
= Jolly, the Zoo elephant, sneezed this
morning, and all the Zoo attendants took
a vacation to laugh. The elephant sneezes
only about once in five years. When he
sneezes it is an omen of prosperity, indi-
eating abundant crops and great CONNER
cial activity. The phenomenon itself
forms an interesting spectacle. This
morning everything was quiet in the Zoo,
when somebody shouted to Lecturer Rol-
Look outi The elephants going to
sneeze!''s
All the attendants deserted their posts
and ran to look. Jolly had drawn up his
sides until his back was bumped. His tail
was stiffly horizontal. His mouth was
open and his eyes were shut, while great
tears the size of peanuts rolled down his
leathery7 face. There was a great draw
ing up of the sides. a long continued con-
Vulsion, a trembling of the floor. and then
an explosion like the report of the Boer
cannon Long Tom at Ladysmith. Half
a bucket of water shot out in a stream
toward the monkeys cage, while the ele-
plants legs trembled as he prepared for
a second sneeze. There was a rumbling
like that of an earthquake and a. volcanic
crack All the animals set up a roar.

shrilly. The quagga prayed and the kan
CARGO barked- The leopards snaried. and
Prince Tiny Mite nearly tumbled off his
platform. jolly had been known to sneeze

eral Bosfock, had owned him.

points OF the Topeka team which their
adNersafleS were unable to overcome:
The wonderfully accurate goal throw

being probably the more accl1rat a
thrower when unguarded and c. Griggs
the harder man TO stop from making
goals. Many of his goals are thrown
While his oppOnenet is almost on ton Of
him. The jumping ability of May at
center and his excellent team work. He
seldom plays against a center with
whom he is unable to place the ball
ABOUT where he wants it. The very
close guarding of both the Topeka
backs, Kitchen being the quicker and
Flemlng the stronger of the two. The
guards usually receive less credit than
the other members of the team but exam
ination Of the scores of the different
games shows how strong Topeka is in
guarding. The fact that only one goal
was made off Of each Topeka guard by
such forwards as the "Tigers" have. is
a wonderfully good showing for Flem-
ing and Kitchen
Basket ball has become very popular
