THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.

'Canaries have been known to live
21 years.
There are 10000 different kinds of
butterflies.
Spiders are a serious plague in ia
pan. They spin their webs on the tel
egraph wires, and are so numerous as
TO cause a serious loss of insulation.
Sweeping the wires does little good,
as the spiders begin all over again.
Birds are great mimics. The song
of the marsh wren bears the resem-
blance to the gurgle of ripping water.
The red-headed woodpecker repro
duces the noise of the wood toad. In
South America one bird initiates ex-
actly the crackle of the limbs of the
forest in which it lives.
The Berlin museum of natural his
tory contains 100000 animal speci-
mems, representing 20O,0 900 species. 1t
is estimated that total of more than
100000 living species has now been de-
scribed, of which the insects number
100000; birds, 10000; fishes, 10000;
reptiles, $500; amphibians, 1900;
arachnoids, 10000; mollusks, $4,000;
worms, 5000.
The possibility of the ostrich being
J used for kind of two-legged saddle
horse, as the natives of Abyssinia are
said to have employed it, was demon
strated at Pasadena, Cal, recently. A
man not only mounted n full-sized
male ostrich and rode 100 yards on it's
back, but also had a photographer
take picture of him on his feathered
stesd.
At the recent scientific conference
at Munich, Prof. Chun exhibited the
results of the German deep-sea expe-
dition. Some of the fsn found at a
depth of about 10000 feet resembled

atmosphere was dense with carbon
These fish in many cases had special
means of collecting light. Some pos
sessed enormous eyes, occupying near.

SOME were supplied with telescope
organs. Others carried their light on
their heads in a manner similar tc
that of the glowworm.

other the words did not come at once.
She kept her eyes fixed on the handle
OF the door, at which she worked. She
seemed greatly interested in the mech

"I-I--lilSe Dick very much, Mr.. Fen

-that-that-well I'll be sorry to
leave Dick"
That's because you have a kind
heart, my dear" he said. A'But if I
were you wouldn't think too much
about Dicks disappointment. Iknow
what these young chaps are; they
fancy, for the time being, that it would
be impossible for them to think of any
other girl than the one on whom they
believe they have set their hearts. but.
bless your soul, my child, they are over
head and ears with another girl be-
fore the one that has treated them (as
they suppose) unkindly has finished
her afternoon tea. Don't worry your
self about Master Dick; he'll find ample
consolation for your absence before
you are gone "a hours, the young ras-
cali"
There was another pause and some
more twitching of the handle of the
door before she said:
Il hope he may be happy"
And Dick was happy, for by the end
of a year he had married the girl who
had failed TO find career in London,

JUDGE GEORGE w. JErFERs.

The particularly sad death of Judge
George w. LETTERS, discovered yesterday
morning, was learned by the public
with the deepest sorrow and most sim
cere regret. His was indeed an un-
timely taking off, and the manner of it.
he being alone, perhaps in the small
hours of the night or under the full
glare of the sun of early
dying, it may be instantly, or it may be
alter suffering hours of helpless agony
brought to the whole community a
sence of horror at this unexpected
and unusual appearance of Death in
the midst of a community quick and
qulvering with Life. The facts con-
nected with his death will probably
never be known, but let us hope, as we
reverence his gentle character, admire
his genial nature, and prepare for the
final tribute to worth and integrity and
all thai goes to make the man, that
he passed from this world to the next
without torment and torture, and sim
ply lay down to pleasant dreams.
AS mems lives go, his was a long
one, for he was approaching seventy
years. OF a retiring nature and dis
position, honors came to him without
effort on his part, and they were worth
lily bestowed. The positions he was
called TO in public life were filled to the
full measure of earnest endeavor and
popular expectation. AS attorney, City
Solicitor, Mayor and Judge, he left a
record to be emulated. In his death
Wheeling has again cause to mourn
the loss of a worthy son.

OF the Crookedness in Cuba Author
lied by the Senate Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The SEN
ate to-day agreed t the resolution
for an investigation by the committee
on Cuban affairs OF the Cuban postal
and other Irregularities, authorizing
the committee to visit Cuba if neces-
sary to pursue the inquiry. Beyond
this the proceedings were of little gen
eral interest, some time being given
to the sundry civil appropriation bill
without completing it and to District
of Columbia business. One of the lat
ter measures provides extensive depot
and terminal improvements in Wash
ington for the Baltimore and Potomac
and Baltimore and Ohio railroads and
for the removal of the historic long
bridge" the highway from the north
to the south, during the war of the
rebellion.
The House to-day practically com
pleted the consideration of the Alaska
civil government bill. A few para
graphs passed over during the reading
of the bill, will be considered Monday.

It is understood a new track will be
laid on this line, which will be a great
Improvement. as this part of the road
is very rough and needs much improy-
ing.
The street railway company have
placed new heavy rails along their
track between the city and the Crys-
tai glass works. There rails win be
laid prior to street paving. and will be
quite an improvement to this part OF
the line.
The building of the retaining wall
still goes on with rapid progress. and
no injunction has yet been secured by
the railroad, as it was postponed again
yesterday in the Circuit Court and
most likely win not be heard before
this court until after the wall has
been built, and then the legal fight
will come.

ECLIPSE.

The total eclipse of the sun, to occur
tomorrow morning, Will afford mil
lions of the people of the United States
a rare opportunity of witnessing one
of the most remarkable and interesting
o. natural phenomena. 1t has been
eleven years since a total eclipse was
visible in any portion of the United
States, and about t~hirty-one years, we
believe, since one was seen in Wheel
ing, 1t will be eighteen years after
this solar eclipse before there is an
other total n visible in the United
States. According to the naval OBJ
servatory, the next one will begin in
the Pacific ocean just off the coast of
China at sunrise on the morning of
June s, 1918, will enter the United
States at the extreme northwest cor
ner, and follow a path through Wash
ington, Idaho, Wyoming, the southern
corner of Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, end
ing soon after it reaches the Atlantic
ocean. Another total solar eclipse will
occur August 80, 1905, but it will not
be visible in the United States, al
though it will commence just north of
the boundary line between Minnesota
and North Dakota.
The eclipse of tomorrow morning
will not be total as seen from this
city, but the surface of the suns disc
will be rather more than nine-tenths
o%bscured, and it will grow dark enough
for the stars to be seen if the sky is
clear. There will be daylight, then
darkness and then daylight again-a
strange and unusual state of affairs.
The line of totality-the entire OBJ
scuration of the SUMS a very long
one, but is not more than fifty miles
wide. This line comes out Of the Pa
cifc ocean with the rising sun to-mor-
o morning. crosses Mexico and the
northern edge of the Gulf, and passes
o4uo40Lg hAOu6 Wv OlAOollSs WnGlS
the middle of the eclipse takes place at
1882 O'Clock a. m. Thence the line of
totally cuts straight across the South
ern States to Norfolk, Va, where the
middle of the eclipse is $3.50 a. m. 1t
then passes out to sea, takes a wide
sweep over the ocean to the Straits of
Gibraltar, passes along the coast OF
Northern Africa, through Morocco, AL
geria, Tunis, Tripoli and Egypt, and
ends at sunset near the northern end
of the Red Sea. The period of the to-
tai observation of the sun in the line
of totality is very short, ranging from
a minute and a quarteg to a minute and
a half, and within that brief time the
astronomical observers will have to dc
all their varied work. Eor this pur.
pose many stations have ben equipped
