THE LOOMS WAYS.
Bird With Demons Voice That
Can Dodge Bullet.

tan Dodge Aukiets
or the feathered inhabitants Of the
northern lakes the most interesting and
impressive beyond question Is the loon
In comparison with him the Wild goose
Is tame and prosaic, and even the Wild
swan il all his graceful beauty makes
an impression on the bcholder less
vivid anu enduring There is a reserve
and mystery, about the loon. q wonder
ia his strange journeys beneath the
wave, his vanishlhGs and reappeaf
pnces. that set him apart from the
other birds OF the air and waters and
invest him with n vierd interest. He
has none of the gregariousness Of the
other vaterfowls. but swims by him
self or with his mate, and often the
only token Of his presence to the camp
ers by the forest lake Is a doleful, UNI
earthly shrek from the darkness. n
sound that has been compared TO the
cry of n soul in hell-fre. Seen afoa (
unon the water the loon is regal
looking bird. with color scarcely
matched BY those OF any other fowl In
the combination Of simplicity with
striking effect. An imperial purplish
sheen crowns the deep bluish-green hue
Of head and neck. with silver band;
The black bill. the splendid bodymark.
Ings in black ana white. the fierce, keen
eve. with iris vivid red, the proud, alert
cnrrlage Of the head. are unique and
fitting features in this lonely haunter
OF the northern lakes.
Whether or not the loon is able to
dodge n rifle bullet, as many sportsmen
affirm. he IS certainly the hardest bird
20 hit IN all the category Of water fowl
From his size and the beauty Of his
plumage he naturally Is sought for by
collectors of bird specimens. who find
70 difficult matter 10 secure. after
long effort. so much as n single bird
One amateur taxidelmist in Maine owed
the stuffed loon In his collection TO the
discovery OF some winter hunters OF
the bird frozen In the ice Of a noun
tain pond The loon had evidently beer
located IN his autumn trip TO the South
and either had paused 10 rest on the ic'
covering the pond or the ice had
formed about him. holding him captive
as he h0ated on the water. A loon cal
rise IN flight only from the water, be
ing unable TO use his wings or spring
aloft from n solid surface; hence from
frozen pond he IS helpless 20 escape
Looms have been captured on LAND
while resting after long flights. a hap
pening that occurs most frequently OF
the arid plains of the West, where
water sheets are few and far apart. A
loon taken this way on the arid plains
east Of Mexico. six years ago. was KEEP

That the intensity Of one sense is in
creased by the action Of the other
senses IS a fact which Is wen illusrat-
ed by the sense of taste. A cold coin
feels heavier than one that has been
slightly warmed by being carried in
the pocket, and what is true here OF
touch Is lust as true Of taste. Warm
vinegar, warm sugar. warm solutions
OF salt, taste less sour, sweet or salty
than when cold. III you put slight
solution Of salt or quinine into a sugar
solution of q certain sweetness. the
sweetness will seem much greater.
Cooks and confectloners are well
aware Of this fact, for they always add
TO sweet CONNECTIONS some bitter sub
stance, Just as the porfumer puts into
perfumes OF all kinds at least a little
musk
The cook tries to s1lft' or "hn" the
taste, as they say, just as the perfumer
tries TO do with the sense Of smell, and
as In Acoustics the base drum o. bass
yiol forms a kind OF background for the
tone o. coloring. On the other hand, IL
a mixture is made too sweet, without
any contrasting elements, the quality
Of sweetness is lost sometimes, like Mil
toms darkness frcm excess of light"
More than one mcu has been struck
blind by Cash OF lightning, ana I'm the
same way the sense OF taste may be
obscured by excess Of sweetness. The
effect OF cold in reducing the intensity
of sweetness is well known to anyone
who has manufactured ice-cream al
home. II you don't make the cream q
little too sweet before freezing, IL viii
be sweet enough after the freezing pro.
cess.

The Russian government has at last
adopted what promises to be an ef-
fectye measure for suppressing the
lawless hands of ROBBERS who have FOR
years past held various districts Of
The Caucasus In a state of terror
Some two years ago the military au-
ihoritios nj Tlhis came TO the snccor
of the people by distributing arms
and ammunition among them; in
uiany instances machine guns were
furnished to the chiefs OF mountain
villages and isolated settlements in
the plains. Tor a time the raidlng BAN
dtti suffered severe losses. but by or
ganizing regular pitched battles
against the villagers and settlers they
again gol the upper hand. A body Of
$500 military and mounted police, all
picked men. has now been organized
for the special purpose Of exterminat-
ing the pest. which Is particularly
prevalent 10 the two governments of
Ilutais aud Kars. No quarter win ot

Hairs on tho Head.

1t has been stated that il the hairs
on the head OF n fair-haired person
could be plated together they would
make a rope strong enough to support
a weight Of something like eighty tons,
or Of 500 people. This sounds rather q
big statement, but the strength even
Of single hair is indeed quite
surprising when its fineness is consid.
cred. as anyone can test for herself by
seeing the force that must be expended

wanted and who they thought would
be able to spot him, and have him arrest
ed without trouble. The sleuth struck
town all right and figuring out that the
suspected darky was the right man, had
him arrested. and notified the detectives
to that effect. But, alas! the best laid
plans of mice and men gang aft aglee,"
and so il proved in this case, for when
the detective reached Fernandina the
prisoner not only denied that he was
White. but proved the fact and was re-
leased. There is an explanation coming
from that trusty colored sleuth. but it
has not put in an appearance yet. Mean
time White who is supposed TO be lurking
somewhere in this vicinity will doubtless
take the hint and make himself scarce.

Capt. Frank Avery, Lieutenant Com
mander in Charge of the Wistarin.
Capt Frank B. Avery has been ap-
pointed to the command of the United
States buoy tender Wistaria. The ap-
pointment is under the navy and carries
with it the rank of lieutenant COM
mander.
Capt Avery held this rank in the aux
iliary navy during the Spanish-American
War, having passed one of the best ex-
aminations on record. His present ap-
pointment is to succeed Capt. Brown, who
has been in command of the Wistaria for
years, and who has just retired. The
place pays $500 a year and is a snug
one, being for life. The Wistaria is a
frequent visitor to Savannah, her head
quarters being Charleston which is the
headquarters of the Sixth Lighthouse dis
trict.
Capt. Avery is now at Camden, N. j..
in charge of the steamer Abram Minis
1t was expected that he would have COM
mand of the new steamer on her arrival
here. Should he accept the appointment
to the Wistaria, however, the Towboat
people viii place another one of their
masters in charge
