Hunting Ducks.

Sounds easy, doesn't it? Ever try it?
Walk anywhere from five to fifteen
miles and get lots of game; oh, yes, and
hungry, wet feet, tired and almost
dead? We've been there. Hereafter
ducks may light or fly where they
please; we won't bother them; and there
were others iu our party who voiced
the same sentiments. What's the use
of shooting the poor innocent duck-or
mud hen; they are harmless. Who can
blame them for flying high. The
one who comes within sight of the
"eagle eye" of some hunter is sure to
have charge of shot sent towards him.
And still we hear the hunter say there
is no hunting, ducks are flying too
high. They will fly on, unmolested so
far as we are concerned --Ackley

Bibs Wanted.

The joke is certainly on someone.
The REVIEW editor wrote headlines
for an article concerning the library
as follows:
Q Library Plans are Accepted"
Advertisement for Bids Soon to be
Made"
The intelligent compositor and the
proof reader got in their deadly work
changed "d'' to ID" with the result
that the head line read.
Advertisement for Bibs Soon to be
Made"
Admitting that the library is still in
its infancy we hardly think the bibs
will be necessary

New Kinds of Nickel-Steel.

Prof r. II. Thurston, of Cornell
university, calls attention to a curl
GUS variety of nickel-steel alloys, re-
Gently invented in France, which he
thinks may have more importance
for TIC roliG than the form of
nickel-steel that has given us the
modern battleship. The new alloys
are practically nondilatable, that is,
their dimensions do not alter with
ordinary changes Of temperature
Thus, pendulum of constant length
can be made, and already the new
material is employed in making
clocks and watches to run true in
both winter and summer. For meas
uring instruments of precision, like
those employed in geodetic surveys,
these alloys are particularly suited.
The inventor, Monsieur Guillaume,
is also experimenting with nickel
steel as a substitute for the carbon
filament of the ordinary incandescent
lamp.

Drunken Chicken Arrested.

The strangest prisoner ever Ia
ken TO the Seventh street police
station, Jersey City, was a drunk
en- chicken, says the New York
Times.
The festive bird was arrested on
Friday afternool at Sixth anu
Henderson streets. 1t had escaped
from a crate that was being trans
ferred FROM the Pennsylvania
freight yard to New York. Inc
driver did not attempt to recover Tue
bird, audit wandered along Henuer
son street until some joker conclu-
ded TO have some fun by feeding 1T
with corn soaked in whisky III
swallowed the grains greedily' ana
when Policeman George Stratford
saw the bird there could be no
question, he said, that the fowl
was drunk. He took it to the po-
lice station, and Sergt O'Brien,
who was at the desk, formally com
mitted it to a cell to "sieep oil its
drunk"
There was 70 porch in the cell
on which it could roost, and even II
there had been, Stratford says, the
bird was too intoxicated to occupy
an upper birth. 1t looked around
drowsily, toppled over on the floor
and went to sleep.
A question arose as to what
would he done with the bird, but
Mrs. Murphy, the janitress, settled
that difficulty by killing the chick
en- and eating it for dinner.
1t is one of the traditions of the
department that a policeman nam
ed Brady once arrested an elephant
but the story is not true. The ele-
phant. which had escaped from a
circus. was found wandering in the
street. and Brady merely drove il
to the police station in order that
it might be restored to its owner

How a Story Grows on Its Way
from Person to Person.

from HtI Sun " 4 OA sun
Examples Of the way in which
stories grow by repetition until the
real fact in the case is lost in vague
and uncertain statements are illus
tratted by this story from the Wash
ington Post, told by woman who
had been spending some time In a
winter resort.
"Of course | made many acquain-
tances at the hotel" she said, "and
one day Mrs. Jones was rather rude.
| didn't care particularly for Mrs.
Jones, but | was curious to know why
she had acted as she did, for she had
been especially cordial to me; SO l
asked Mrs. Smith.
"Mrs. Smith said that Mrs. Jones
said she had been told that | had
spoken of her as a smart Aleck.'
Mrs Smith further stated that it was
all over the place that had used the
expression. She said Mrs. Brown had
told Mrs. Jones.
81 went to Mrs. Brown and asked
her about it. She said that Mrs.
Green had told her l said it. went
to Mrs. Green, and she admitted tell
ING Mrs. Brown that had said Mrs.
Jones was entirely too smart; not a
smart Aleck,' but entirely too smart.
Mrs Green had not heard me say it,
but Miss Grey, who told her, had.
81 went to Miss Grey. Miss Grey
declared that she had it from Mrs.
White that had said Mrs. Jones was
too smart, not entirely too smart,
lust too smart SO | went to Mrs.
White.
"Mrs. White stood firm. She said
