Druid Hill Park, near Superintend-
ent CaSsell'S residence, was the scene
on Sunday of one of the fierceSt bat
ties ever fought between crows on
the one side and a large chicken hawk
on the other, and, perhaps, the only
battle of its kind in which the hawk
suffered defeat, says the Baltimore
Sun.
1t is. a well-known fact that the re-
lations between hawks and crows have
been strained perhaps since creation,
hawks neglecting no opportunity to
destroy young crows before they leave
the nests. Representatives. of the
two species of birds rarely meet with
out a battle. They usually fight in
midair. This is 10 doubt the reason
why the hawk has won so many vic
tories.
Fully twelve or fifteen crows took
part in Sundays battle. The hawk
was attacked in midair while towering
over a crows nest. The onslaught
made him furious and he retaliated
by swooping down on the tree in
which the nest was built. The crows
were determined to drive of the
enemy and made a systematic and
concerted onslaught on the intruder.
First one and then another would

EfIipinn Bows Kites.

Just now as we came in off the
street we saw a Filipino boy, about
years old, flying a feather for a
kite, writes a tourist in the Manila
Justicia. The feather was not more
than two inches long, and an inch
wide at the faring end. He had
thread tied to it in two places. Of
course the feather did not fly much,
but the BOY amused himself with it
for more than FIVE minutes that we
watched PIN. There We're no other
children about, and he never said a
Word, Never complained when it did
not fly, or EXPRESSED any exclamations
of Joy when it did.
These Filipino boys will fly most
anything. a leaf out of book, a
leaf of tree, a piece of newspaper,
beetle or a bee-a locust or bird.
For makirg and flying graceful. arts,
tic and birdlike kites our home boys
are simply not in it with the Filipinos
boys. Their best flying kites reach a
great height, and the way they sail
about in the air, one would have to
observe closely to not mistake them
for large bird. 1t is not unusual
to see several of these kites in the
same LOCALITY, and they resemble soar
Ing, hawks looking for prey.

sank to the ground. There he made
final stand. and the battle was an
interesting one, passen gers on the
Emory Grove cars being among the
spectators. First one crow and then
another would give the hawk a dig
with his bill and then jump back to
escape the savage plunges of the
hawk.
The hawk fought as long as he
could stand on his feet. Even while
lying on his side or back he kept up
the struggle. The crows, however,
were relentless and kept pecling
away until their adversary Iell dead.

tance and patched up their cuts and

Interesting Experiments.

A simple experiment that many
boys have tried is the following: Fill
a tumbler with water, and on it place
a sheet of paper. Place one hand
OF the paper and then invert the
glass. Remove the hand from the
paper and the water will not fall
out.
Another interesting experiment is
thus described: Heat piece of thick
brown paper before the fire. Place
it on the table and rub it with a
clothes brush for half minute. Then
sail the piece of brown paper over
some small, light body, such as 4
little sheet OF blotting paper, and the
light body will jump in the most
excited manner. If the brown paper
is held over somebody's head the
hairs will Immediately stand straight

Dolls Furniture.

I wonder how many of our little
readers have ever made dolls furni-
ture GU. of corks-if not, try it. Col
lect as many corks and bungs as
you can, and get a few ounces of
colored beads, all one size, with two
or three dozen big ones, a packet of
pins, and you have all you want ex-
cept a small skein of wool. Slice up
tho corks, crosswise, to make the
seats of the chairs and table tops;
the bungs will do for the sofa seats.
Slip half dozen of the beads on a
pin, putting a big one first of all,
and dig the points into the slices
of cork to make the chair legs. The
chair and sofa backs are made. with
plain pins, and the wool laced across
them from side to side. If you want
the furniture to be very grand the
cork may be painted with enamel, or
gilded.

wings are too short, and the poor fell

far back that he can hardly walk
How, then, does he get about and find
his food? An old Irish sailor, nine
years ago, explained that all their
walllin' was done by swimmin'. Their
broad webbed feet are good oars, and
their short wings are useful paddles.
They get over the ground by swim

Take it as one will, there is some
thing impressive in the danger or
demise of royalty. We mortals have
builded up and exalted the worldly
fabric of our existence as high as we
can. We have constructed outposts
and redoubts and inner and outer
walls, and keep and sanctuary, and
some of us have placed high up and
over and above all a king.
And now there comes a time for the
glorification of this brave work, when
the king shall take his place upon his
throne. and his lords and vassais and
people throughout half the world shall
rejoice There shall be great pomp
and gorgeousness, and ancient rite
and ceremonial and revelry and feast
ing.
In a magnificent old cathedral the
rich light shall simmer and reflect
on innumerable jewels, and on gar
ments of cloth OF gold and ermine,
and here shall be assembled the pride
and pomp and chivalry OF a great
nation to do honor and homage to
their sovereign lord.
