How Sea- Birds Drink.

The means by which sea-birds
quench their thirst when far out at
sea is described by an old skipper,
who tells how he has seen birds at
sea, far from any land that could fur
nish them water, lowering around
and under storm cloud, Gathering
like ducks on a.hot day at a pond, and
drinking in the drops Of rain as they
fell. They will smell a rain squall a
hundred miles distant, or even far
ther off, and scud for it with almost
inconceivable swiftness.

Sugar for Strength.

Mountain climbers who seldom
eat sugar at home are said to appre-
ciate it highly when on their excur-
eions. Guides are very fond of it, as
it is a great source Of muscular force.
Experiments have recently been
made abroad to demonstrate the
value of sugar to those who perform
hard labor. Muscular work done
when natural sugar (cane or beet
sugar. was used was found to be su-
perior to that when saccharine

The Worlds Rarest Bird,

To find the rarest bird in existence
you must 60 to the mountains be-
tween Anam and Loas, where there is
a certain kind of pheasant. For many
years its existence was known only by
the fact that its longest and most
splendid plume was in much request
by mandarins for their headgcar. A
single skin is worth f10O, and the
bird living would be priceless, for it
sool dies in captivity.

MUMMIFIED BY POISON.
Unique Effect Of Anthony on Bod.

Unique Effect Of Anthony on Body
Revealed In q London Trial.
Expert analysis turned the light Of
science strongly upon the Southwark
poison case at the police COURT Lon
don the other day, when George
Chapman or Severino Klowski, the
borough publican, was placed in the
dock for the fourteenth time on the
triple murder charge; says the Lon
don Mail The ittleblackbookswhich
have figured in 50 many trials were
again produced by Dr.. Stevenson, the
home Office expert, who gave the re-
suits of his searching analysis in con-
nection with the first of the three
women whom the prisoner is accused
OF poisoning. Chapman, with his
hair carefully brushed, a new tic
neatly adjusted, and wearing his
frock coat, was seated for the first
time between a police constable and
a prison warder,the court j%ailer, as
usual, standing blythe dock and CIV
ing him fresh supplies Of foolscap
for his ever-increasing mass of notes.
For the first time, too, Mr. Arthur
Hutton appeared a counsel for the
prisoner and exposed some 6f the
witnesses to a raking fire of cross-ex-
animation. Dr.. Stevenson told how
he superintendent the elimination Of
the body Of Mary Isabella Sphinx, and
took some Of the earth surrounding
the coffin, analysed it for poison, and
found none, and then dwelt upon';the
amazing preservation of the body.
After five years in the grave the head
and features were SO we'll preserved
by the anthony with which the body
had been saturated" before death
that they we're as little altered as
though only buried that day.
1t will be remembered that wit
nesses had sworn that Chapman
told them that this particular ''Mrs.
Chapman was a hard drinker. DR..
Stevenson stated that he could dis
cover no trace Of this. "Antimdny,"
said the expert, "is a metallic irrfant
poison, the effect of which is to
cause great pain and gastro-cnteritis,
of which there were marked traces in
the body"
The fact that he had found 2.42
grains in the liver showed that q
large dose must have been taken
shortly before death. 1t would take
from two to five hours for a dose Of
this poison to become absorbedby the
body, but some of it would be abb
sorbed within an hour.
"Was the immediate cause Of the
death of Mrs. Sphinx gastro-enteri-
tis?" he was asked.
eyes, caused by antimony," he re-
piled.
What is the cause of this remark
able preservation of the body: An
timony preserves a body; it mummi-
6es it. This particular case is unique.
I cannot find one like it on record.
Then the distinguished expert
mentioned a number of interesting
facts about anthony. It could be
easily dissolved in water, but not in
really good brandy. In ordinary pub
lic-house brandy a small quantity of
it in the form of tartar cmetic could
not be seen. If the brandy were 25
degrees under proof an would
absorb two grains and still look quite
clear. An ounce. of water would alb
sorb 20 grains. If tartar emetic were
put into ordinary brandy and water
it would be quite clear. This was the
first charge of antimonial poisoning
since the Bravo case in 1876.

AN EARLY LABOR TRoUs1r.
Emerson's Story of Baltimore Strike
 is Pleasantly Recalled.

is Pleasantly Recalled. Kansas City Journal.
 Naipn waldo Emerson that sublime and transcendental essayist and benign exnon. ent Of brotherly love, once while snaal<ino upon the conditions of his times. fin 1sIi with amusing but elegant inKenuo,snass referred to certain incident in the To,- lowing calm fashion: The contra tore who were building a road out of Baltimore some years ago found the Irish laborers ouarrelsome and refractory to A de1re. that embarrassed the agents and seriovsIy interrupted the work. The corporat tion was advised to call off the police and bujld catholic chapel which they did. The priest presently restored order and the work went on prosperously"
 This was one of the first labor tro,hIas in this country of which we have anv record, and it may be regarded aa tha forerunner of all the subsequent inn,Im- erabie and stormy conflicts between capi- tal and labor which the sage New Eng land philosopher. with all his wisdom and Knowledge, did not understand nor an- ticipate.
 Wrapt In his dreamy studies. Mr. Em- erson thought 1t would be the easiest tning In the world to settle such disputes by an appeal to reason and the sentinento Of brotherly love. It never entered his neao that within a few years after his time laborers would be trying to put finish to their difficulties with employers by bricks knives and dynamite. and that the embarrassment could be relieved only by platoons of police and soldiers armed with -iot guns.
 Nevertheless, 1t is deeply to be regretted that there are now no philosophers like Emerson, and that employers did not al- ways remain as conciliatory and employees as placable as they were shown to he by the Baltimore incident to which he refer req. If nowadays strike or a lockout in a mine or factory. or on a railroad could be ended by simply suggesting that ba- bies were dying for the want of fresh milk, that inoffenslve men and women were freezing to death because they had no coal. and that the work on churches and hospitals was criminally delayed be- cause workmen had thrown down their tools and transportation of building ma terial was interfered with, how grand 1t would be! But this. of course, Is. merely an Emerson dream.

The risk to firemen from throwing
 streams on live wires proves to be less than has been supposed. Experiments by
 F. Heinicke. of Upper SiIesia. have shown
 that with an indirectly grounded poly phase circuit of 5000 volts. and water
 made conductive by the addition of soda
 to counteract its hardness, the stream
 must be meter long to ensure safety. but with ordinary continuous currents and the usual water supply the nozzle could be brought within three inches or less of the wire without harm. n- ET- A model mine is the novel piece of scientific apparatus with which a school of mines at Birmingham. Eng. is to be provided. This will be suitably located and will be about ten feet below the sur face. extending over about three-quarters of an acre. The passage will be of brick arching. They will be lined. paved and constructed to resemble an actual mine. and the best ways of working coal and the best methods of timbering will be H. frustrated. with the various systems of underground haulage.

 A specific for the mysterious malady known as mountain sickness is claimed by M Passtoukhof a Russian topogra- pher. In several years spent in the Cau- cactus he climbed such mountains as the Grand Ararat. Mount Kasbek and Mount Elbruz. and suffered much from noun tain sickness On one occasion he and his companions drank hot tea. Relief was almost instantaneous, and in later trials the remedy has been invariably successful.
 The curious fact has ben noticed in Hungary that thunderstorms occur earlier in the day in mountainous districts than in lowlands. M. Hegyfoky confirms the work of an earlier observer by showing that in mountains the thunderstorms reach their maximum between II a. m. | and p. m.. while over the lowlands the | period of maximum Is from ? to p. m.

soHe Things the Society D. A. R ,g Has Accumulated.

Nany very valuable papers and .docu- n3snts relating, to the Revolution. have been rescued from ruin and oblivion and 1ut in permanent shape. Graves of thousands of Revolutionary soldiers have been marked with handsome and endur- ing monuments, as have also many sites
 of historic interest. An active sentiment against the dissertation of the United States flag has been created and in many States special legislation on this subject has been enacted, and it is unlawful to use the flag for advertising purposes. y During the Spanish-American war a corps of splendid nurses was sent out and received special notice and praise from Surgeon-General Sternberg-the husband of our very able and efficient chairman of Ways and Means Committee of Continental Hall.
 The D. A. R. Society has established the custom of having the flag float over pub lie school houses. observing Flag Day, and has aroused great interest among the school children in the study of American history, and has promoted a greater love of patriotism. Mrs. Fairbanks said in her address to the last Congress: Our Daughters have seen and feared (and well they night that through the constant into our country of a dan gerous class of foreigners, who know nothing nor care for our customs. our principles or valued or respected our laws, the grave danger we were in from such class of citizenship. and they have given special attention to the education of these foreigners. In Boston, New York. Chicago, Buffalo, Minneapolis. St. Paul and many other cities. this is being done" These are some of the good works being done and the worth and influence of the Society is being seen and felt ali over the country.

When her application is approved. which will probably be at the October meeting of the National Board, she will become a member of the John Wade Reyes Chapter, Athens. Ala. Mrs. Mcclellan has been greatly interested in Mrs Christopher's case, and has been very diligent in securing proof of her claim to membership. A sketch and d photograph of Mrs. christopher will shortly appear in The American Monthly
 The Real Daughters in the various States are objects of special interest and are greatly esteemed and venerated; in some cases they are supported by the Chapters. That Alabama D. A.
