H. w. Olds speaking before the BIZ
illogical society of Washington about
his studies Of the songs OF birds, said
recently that the wood thrush, the
Carolina wren, the chickadee and the
chewink use the intervals Of the mod
ern musical scale. The songs Of birds
are often rythmical. and may be d.
vided into regular measures properly
accented. Mr.. Olds added that "sev-
eIal of the formal rules of human mu-
sic may be found governing the music
Of the birds" He gave an example OF
song by wood pewee in which the
rules of construction governing many
Of our ballads were followed.
According to the Berlin correspond
ent OF the London Chronicle the Ger
man feet has been making trials with
different colored paint for the outsides
CT torpedo boats. The authorities are
dissatisfied with the deep black color
which has hitherto been In use, but
they have discovered that no color Is
suitable for all seas. 1t has now been
decided to employ a gray-brown color
as being the least noticeable in the
Baltic and other northern waters. No
change is contemplated in the color Of
the paint used .or German ironclads,
blush gray being found the most SER
viceable. both by day and by night.
According to cable kilograms Prof
Rehring has printed a book in Berlin
proving that the baCilli Of human and
bovine tuberculosis are identical, the
seeming differences between them re.
sulting from the capacity of the bacilli
to accommodate themselves to the or
ganism in which they live. The writer
announces that he has successfully in
fected cattle with virus from human
beings. producing in this way fatal
animal tuberculosis. He also declares
Il at he has rendered cattle immune
to tuberculosis by vaccinating them
when they are young. Further reports
of these experiments will be anxiously
awaited.
Experiments lately made by Prof.
Trcwbridge have convinced him that
lightning never strikes the surface Of
the ocean. He used in his experiments
electric sparks six feet In length and
Of high electromotive force, resembling
lightning as closely as possible. his
object being to volative water for the
purpose of obtaining a water vapo'
spectrum. He found, however. that
the sparks would never strike the sur
face of the water, but passed to the
edge of the vessel containing 1t. He
found it also extremely difficult to
pass a spark from one stream Of water
to another. From all this he draws
the interesting conclusion that light
Ling discharges can haru.y be sup
poFed to pass through regions Of tn"
air where there is, at the time. heavy
fall of rain.

The British Medical Journal says:
Should the kings symptoms pursue the

she WORKED HIM.

An Oklahoma exchange recites
one of the most curious martial
narratives ever seen in Western
print. II is about an affair which
is made public by the fling of a
suit in the supreme court of the ter
ritory. A year ago, in Grant coun.
ty, divorce was given to Myrtle A,
Racey, from Clement L. Racey. Mr.
Racey now aske the supreme court
to set this divorce aside, and, in the
same pleadings, asks the court to
enjoin Mrs. Racey from marrying
one Sam c. Davis while the CAGE Ia
pending. According to Racey.s
story, there was no trouble between
himself and his wife. He consented
to the divorce, he says. in order to
humor a whim which Mrs Racy had
held fos. some time. She had the
romantic idea that if they were di.
vorced they could re-rnarry and be.
gin life all over again in the old
love-like way. So it was agreed that
the divorce should be procured and
a new marriage and new honey.
moon had, but after the divorce had
been entered. Mrs. Racey turned
from him and commenced to re
ceive attentions of Davis, the other
man. In his petition Mr.. Racey ex-
presses no opinion as to whether or
not the woman was sincere at the
time in her promise to re-marry
him. One of the curious features
of the case is found ia the fact that
at the entering of the divorce decree
he paid her $2.200 alimony.
