DEAD ABOUT CATHEDRAL.
| Pathetic Attempt of People to Find
Sanctuary in Structure,

Sanctuary in Structure.
Castries, st. Lucia, May 13.-Relef
| parties have ventured into the streets
of st. Pierre. 1t was not expected that
survivors would be found, and so there
has been no disappointment at the
mournful reports that have been re-
turned.
Piles of dead in the vicinity of the
cathedral tell the story of the attemp:
| to find sanctuary and refuge in the
great structure of worship. Men and
women, panic-s stricken at the cata-
| clysIn, turned in the moment of their
despair to the cathedral, and We're APP
parently overcome before they could
reach its doors.
SO far the search has been hinderet'
by the fires that are still raging and
| the investigators are in great danger.
From the positions of the bodies the
opinion is formed that many We're
overcome almost before they realized
bodies are in lifelike positions, as tho
death had come with breath, as in
deed may have been the case.
Steps have been taken to prevent
disease resulting from the disaster.
Burial parties are working night and
day, but it is impossible that the dead
can be cared for as their friends would
wish.
Military rule is established in the
tow nto prevent vandals from working.
Such property as has not been de-
stroyed will be protected one OF the
great misfortunes arises from the fact
that the storehouses of provisions have
heen swept out of existence.

HON n Hlind Man Can Tell Time.


Perhaps many people have noticed
that the blind man who plays the hand
organ day after day at Grand avenue
bridge has a watch in his pocket. He
has a watch, and can tell time, TOO.
Yesterday a man dropped nickel in
his cup, and, noticing the watch, asked
him for the time 1t was queer Ques-
tion to ask, but he saw the watch and
wanted to know whether the blind man
was simply pretending to be sightless.
81 think / can tell" said the blind
man. He held it up close to his ear
and slowly turned the stem-winder.
zone, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight" he counted, and then he
said: THAT means 70 minutes. I wound
up the watch tightly at o'clock and
so the time ought to be about IL min
utes past A. Here, look and see how
near l came to it,"
His questioner looked and the time
was 4.18. He was only six minutes
off
do you mean to say that you can
tell the time of day by winding up
your watch?"
Not exactly, but can come mighty
near it, usually within ten minutes,
and it's very easy, too All you have
to know is how long one click in wind
ing up will run the watch. I'll explain.
Suppose that at 8 o'clock I wind up my
watch until it is tight, as we say; that
is, until another turn Of the wihder
would apparently break a spring. A
. o'clock l wind the watch again and
find that the winder clicks 10 times
before the watch is wound up to the
place where it sticks. Then / know
that u clicks will run the watch 12O
minutes, and that one click represents

miles above Harrisburg, is rapidly
nearing completion. The masonry
work OF the bridge, consisting of As

When this is completed the work of

be begun and the four tracks put down.
Work upon this, the longest stone

LANGUAGE OF THE TURKEY.
An English Naturalist Thinks He Under
stands the Cobblor's Cries.

An English Naturalist Thinks Tie Under
stands the Cobblor's Cries.
Nelson Wood, an English scientist.
has made a lifelong study Of the Ian
guage of birds and he thinks he can
not only understand what many Of the
feathered creatures are saying, but
also express things to them which
they understand He has many inter
esting things to tell about the birds
he has met.
The creatures of the air, so he says,
talk the least; turkeys. chickens and
such feathered creatures. as they do
not fly very much, talk the most The
explanation of this is natural.
The birds that do not fly are al
ways in more danger and they have
many notes Of warning. Language
among them, of course, as it must
have been with primitive man, is but
an expression of the simple needs
Danger, hunger warning, pleasure
and such sensations are the first emo
tons expressed.
To illustrate the various calls which
a turkey has, Mr.. Wood cites a note
for overhead danger, another for
danger on the ground, third for
hawk in the distance, another of com
plant when being driven, a different
call in open meadow from that in
bushes, a special signal at night, as
well as a special kind of note used in
ordinary conversation.
Chickens have even more modes Of
expression. A hen has three distinct
songs, one when seeking her nest,
another for calling her mate and
third for grooming to herself or in the
search for food.
The rooster has several distinct
notes and Mr.. Wood says that some OF
these the ordinary person never OBJ
! serves. There is one, low fine whis
tie which the rooster uses sometimes
on dark day when going to roost.
but when the rooster really begins TO
carry on an extensive conversation is
when he meets another chanticleer III
battle.
1t ranges all the way from a def
ant chuckle which invites the other
fellow to fight as surely as the pro-
verbal chip on a boys shoulder, to a
feminine Groom which means fear and
a desire to retire.
Perhaps of all birds the parrot is
the most intelligent People have
been accustomed to think of the par
rot as simply mimic, but Mr. Wood
pretends to have known many that
actually understood the words they
were saying. One of his parrot friends
always saluted him with Good morn
ing" early in the day and Good
night" in the evening.
The ability of crows to smell gun
powder long distance off has always
been asserted for them and those VINO
have studied the birds to any extent
easily recognize varying caws, show
ing fear, warning or affection as the
case may be. That birds are able 20
express pleasure every one knows.
The cheerful Tilt of the songsters is
only one way in which they show
their JOY Of living in such a good
world as this.

Statues. In the Paris srree1s.

It IS not the Londoner only who
grumbles at the lack of beauty in the
statues adorning the streets and
squares of his city. The Frenchman
makes q point of grumbling quite as
loudly at the almost unanimous" ug-
liness OF the modern statues '1ncum-
bering'' Paris. These statues, says the
outspoken Journal des Debats, are not
so much erected in honor of one dead
man as for the glorification of several
living ones, who form the commits
sion'' for the erection of statue and
receive decorations for their endeav-
oTs.
"A famous French sculptor is quoted
in this connection who had sent in his
design for a statue of Pasteur. He
had suggested the genius of the great
scientist by symbols. but the commits
sion would have none of them. Your
work." they said, ''is fine, but it is in
complete. What about the diseases Of
silkworms, the manufacture of vinegar
and of beer and vim. about cholera in

And nothing the artist could say as
to the impossibility of reproducing
sick silkworms and cholera ridden
ROSTERS on a monument could move

tions it is small wonder Paris statues
are no better than they should be. -
