Monon Has n Queer Pigeon,

Bijou is pet pigeon belonging to
Miss Minnie Tull, and lately has been
fndulging in a queer freak, says a
Monon Qnd), correspondent Of the
Chicago Inter Ocean. Several months
ago he attracted attention by develop
ing a strange antipathy toward cats,
exhibiting no fear in their presence
and fighting them on every occasion.
He would strut up to them and peck
and flop them viciously until they,
daunted by his audacity, would turn
tail and run. Very seldom would they
strike back. Lately Bijou has con-
ceived an ardent liking for little de-
serted kitten, following it about wher-
ever it goes and staying near when 1t
takes a nap. He seems to consider
himself it's natural protector, and
when milk is placed out for the little
feline Bijou keeps other cats from
drinking it, pecking them when they
come too near. The kitten and pigeon
are fed together and sleep in the same
loft. The greatest difficulty Bijou en-
counters is at his roosting time, for
the kitten is more nocturnal in It's
habits and does not retire at such an
early hour as he, but he refuses to go
to roost until his partner is placed in
the loft,

A Mechanical Stentor.

A contrivance has just been patent
ed which gives to photograph or tele-
phone the voice Of a stentOr. 1t is an
entirely new idea, and depends for Its
efficiency upon metal disk which Is
kept rapidly spinning by the same
motor that runs the machine. The vi.
bration of the diaphragm, caused by
the voice, pulls lever back and
forth. and thus varies the pressure of
q brake upon the edge Of the revolving
disk. This brake is connected by a
wire with large diaphragm.
AS a result, the larger diaphragm is
made to vibrate very powerfully, the
power coming from the revolution Of
shaft-in other words, from the ma
chine. The voice of the speaker mere
ly modifies the vibrations, but In this
way ordinary speaking tones are con-
verified into shouts while preserving
the information faithfully.
The contrivance may be applied
either to telephone or monograph, and
it will magnify the sounds to any de-
sired extent. If desired, four-horse
engine may be used to run it, with
proportionate effects in the way of
ioudness. AS might be supposed, 1t
will reproduce music as we'll as the
volce.-Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post.

loNDoN'S BIRD TRADEi
A Surprising Export of Robins and im'
port Of Canaries.

The birds to which the majority OF
people are devoting their attention at
this festive season Of the year are
those which are hung up or laid out
attractively In the windows OF poui-
terers' shops. There are other KINDS
Of birds, however, that cause a COLI
siderable turnover in money IN the
course of q year. Vast number of rob-
Ins, for instance, are caught and sent
abroad.
The number Of robin redbreasts
Erythaca rubecula) that are exported
from this country to the United STATES
Canada and Australia during the year
reaches q total Of nearly 25,O0O, and
they fetch about f1S,000. A few starl-
ings are included in these figures as
1t has been found impossible to obtain
separate statistics; but the great ma
jority are robins.
Among singing birds, at least 5OO'ooo
canaries find purchasers i'll this coun-
try In the course Of year, represent
ing In cash 100000. Fully a quarter
of these come from Tyrol and certain
parts Of Germany, where In some lit
tie villages canary breeding Is prac-
tcally the only industry. The largest
number of canaries bred In England
Is by q firm in the neighborhood or
Norwich, which disposes Of 10000 per
year, the value of which is about
e5000.
Piping bullfnches are also largely
of German Importation the best dis
tricts for these being Hesse and Full
d.
About 100000 trained bullfnches
come into this country every year
from Germany and Russia, and their
value, taking one with another, Is
over 100000.
The chaffinch Is q very common
| bird In England, so common that II
can be bought In the streets for six
pence, but In Germany there Is a va
riety whose song is very highly es-
teemed. A few have been brought
over here and sold at FL each, but the
climate does not apparently suit them.
| Larks and linnets are actually to
be bought for twopence each from the
men who net them, but dealer usu-
ally charges at last a shilling fol
them. Blackbirds, thrushes and gold
finches usually cost more, about a
couple of shillings, although they may
be got for sixpence first hand.
The largest price obtained for q
British wild bird is f10, for perfect
ly white specimen of O blackblrd.-

limitation Whalebone.

A new kind Of artificial whalebone
has just been patented in this coun-
try by a Hollander, and If the claims
made for it are justified, 1t will prove
most valuable commercially. 1t Is
said to have all the toughness, elas'
ITCHY and durability of the substance
initiated, with less brittleness.
The material is derived from ordin-
airy bones-anY kind of bones will do
which, after being thoroughly cleaned,
are soaked in dilute hydrochloric acid.
By this means all of the limy matter Is
removed from them, leaving only the
cellular structure, and, as a result,
they are soft and flexible. 1t only re-
mains to tougher them by species
Of tanning.
The tanning is done by soaking the
decalcified bones in a solution OF
chrome alum for a period OF from
three to five days, at the end OF winch
they are tough and elastic. They are
then rinsed with water, dried, and cut
into strips corresponding In size and
form to commercial whalebone.-Phila'
