The Age of Birds.

Mr.. J. H. Quincy. in an article in
the Ibis, discusses a number of facts,
collected from various books and pa
pers, regarding the age to which birds
live. Mr.. Dresser. in his Birds of
Europe" gives an instance of a raven
having lived siNty-nine years. Mr..
de-Waldo has in captivity pair of
eagle owls. one of which is sixty-eight
and the other fifty-three years old.
Since 1864 these birds have bred regu-
larly, and have now reared ninety
three young ones. A Batelur eagle and
a condor in the Geological gardens at
Amsterdam are still alive at the re-
spective ages of fifty-fve and fifty-two.
An imperial eagle of the age of fifty
six, a golden eagle of forty-six and a
sea eagle of forty-two, and many other
birds of the age Of forty downward
are also recorded.

DANGEROUS TO rREsPAsa.

Many Killed on Railroad Tracks Have
No business There. a
The fearful slaughter OF trespassers
on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks
mas once more awakened the attention
OF tAe railroad, municipal and co1nty
authorities to the fast that something
should be done to prohibit people from
walking on the dangerous iron high
ways, says the Pittsburg Post. The
bloodiest record ever made in one
week has Just been established on the
Plttsburg division of the Pennsylva-
MIA. Wednesday morning the south
western express killed tNl men.
freight train killed another man near
Johnstown and Conductor George
Vance reported that an unknown man
had been ground to pieces in the Ar-
dara tunnel, and that the body of an
other man who had been run down
had been forwarded to Greensburg.
The night before another unknown
man was instantly killed east of
Greensburg by the Pittsburg limited,
and an aged colored man who was
picking up coal was killed near the
same place. Andrew Soricin, a for
eigner. was struck by the day express
near Radebaugh and died before he
could be taken to the hospital. Yes
terday one of the fast morning trains
killed another man who is thought to
have jumped from a freight train IN
front of the rapidly moving passenger
engine. Shortly after one of the fast
trains shot out of the Ardara tunnel
yesterday three men stepped on the
track and came near being ground up;
in fact, nothing could have saved them
had it not been for the fact that the
train was moving on a cautionary
block and was brought under control
by the emergency brake. The engi-
neers of the fast trains are careful
men and it almost unnerves them
when they see a human being hurled
into space. But they are poWerless to
avoid such calamities, as the careless
track trespassers still walk right to
their doom regardless of every warn
ing. A railroad official in talking about
the slaughter that is going on yester-
day said that he could see no way to
prevent it. as people would persist in
walking on the tracks. He related
a conversation between an American
and an English railway official while
both were riding on the rear end of a
limited. The Englishman perceived
some men walking on the tracks and
said: why do you allow that?"
WELL said the American, what do
you do with such trespassers?" 1--WE
arrest Them said the Englishman.
well, we do worse than that" said
the American; I'VE kill them. and yet
We can't keep them off the tracks"

OTHER WAYS OUT.
But This Car Conductor Was Not Bright
Enough to See 1t.

But This Car Conductor Was Not Bright
Enough to See 1t.
When the conductor of a north
bound Lincoln avenue car finished col
leeting fares a few days ago he started
for the rear platform as the train was
emerging from the tunnel, says the
Chicago Chronicle. The door was
closed, but he had opened it hundreds
of times, and thought he would ex-
perience no difficulty in doing so. But
the door did not open After pulling
gently half a dozen times he jerked,
but without success. He looked at the
top, bottom and sides but failed to
find the cause of the doors perverse-
ness. When his patience was exhaust
ed ne went to the front of the car
with the intention of dropping and
jumping on the rear platform and try
ing the door from the outside This
was bit of strategy to his credit. He
walked up to the front door as though
he had urgent business on the other
side. Again he took hold of the han
die with the same innocence as he had
done at the rear of the car minute
before. Again he was disappointed.
The door was shut-shut tight and re-
fused to be opened. In despair he
pulled the bell, and the car came to a
stop on Clark street near Indiana
street The conductor on the car ahead
was signaled, and he came and threw
back the catch with which each car is
provided. He then said; ''Why didn't
you open a window and jump out?"
