The aeronaut Hergesall of Strass-
burg saw, in one of his ascensions, an
eagle at a height of 1900 meters and
in another, two storks and a buZZard
at 900 meters. Larks have been seen
at 1000 meters, and crows at 1.4OO.
But these are exceptional heights.
Birds are rarely seen above 1000
meters and very few above 400. Birds
have been released from balloons at
heights varying from 900 to 1900
meters. In clear atmosphere they
flew directly downward, remaining
near Tie balloon, however, if the slLv
were cloudy. Pigeons were released
from balloon 80 miles away from
home in cloudy weather. The first
pigeon returned home in three hours.
the second in four and the last tool,
nearly a day. In clear weather they
reached home from that distance in
about 40 minutes.-Science.

MOST people think that catarrh is a
AVA disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. It may be that the nose and
throat are the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is so it is 50 only be-
cause these parts are more exposed to
the vicissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body.
Every organ. every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and summer.
Catarrh causes many cases of chronic
disease, where the victim has not the
slightest suspicion that catarrh has any
thing to do with it.

BuNeLING WORK AT CITY HALL.
Stone Cutters Scar the Fine Old Marble
Stairs.

Visitors al the City Hall these days startled
at some features of the restoring work that is
going on and particularly at the manner in which
the beautiful old marble stairs have been gouged
and SCARED by the stonecutters. IN order to do
away with the old iron treads surmounting the
marble steps William Martin Aiken. the supervis-
ing architect of the borough, made plans for NOR
tising In new marble treads. In order to accom-
plish this tops of the old steps to within short
distances the ends have been chiseled off to the
depth Of about and one-half inches. In doing
this mortising work the contractors stonecutters
have broken off the end of STEP leaving it five
or six inches short. The shoulders against which
the new marble treads to butt have been
souged and SCARED that not more than two
thirds of them present clean corners. When the
attention of the foreman in charge was called to
the bungling work yesterday, he said
I'VE are doing everything according TO speci1ca-
tions The cutting on the marble steps is some
thing that could not be helped. The old iron tops
were laid in cement, and in pryiES them on the

the joints will hardly be noticeable. The ends of
two of the steps broken several years ago.
These are to be restored, and if restore the

somewhat detract from their appearance, and these
