Bird VENGEANCE.

A naturalist recently witnessed an
encounter between a large swan and
little brown duck. The duck had
apparently insulted the swan by trying
to cross its path, for it was suddenly
seized by the swan and held under the
water until he was sure it would be
{ drowned. But at last the swan let 1t
&c and sailed majestically away. The
duck, after taking breath, looked
a.ound to see where its enemy was,
and seeing it rose into the air and
deliberately came down, Tapping its
wings, ON the astonished swans back.
The swan fed in terror, and the duck,
apparently satisfied. quietly swan
away.-Pearson's Weekly.

Warming the North Pole.

A novel scheme for rendering the
Arctic regions inhabitable has been
advanced by a scientist, who proposes
to widen Behring Strait and remove
all obstacles to the entrance. Of the
ryarm Japanese current, which he con-
siders then would pour down in sufti-
cient quantities to melt the ice OF the
Polar seas, thus retaining a vast en-
wire. Behring Strait is thirty-six miles
wide at the narrowest part, with a
depth Of from thirty to forty fathoms,
but the channel is INSTRUCTED by three
small islands. These he would re.
move, and would also get rid OF those
rocks and reefs along the coast which

THE PACIFIC OCEANS FLOOR
What Would Be Reverted If Water
Were Drained off.

Were Drained on.
Leslie's Weekly says: If the waters
Of the Pacific could be drained there
would be revealed vast stretch OF
territory, comprising enormous pla-
teaus, great valleys for which no par
allels exist on the land surface, lofty
mountains beside which the Himalaya
and the Andes wouldlook like hillocks
and tremendous hollows or basins only
to be compared with those on the face
OF the moon.
While there are great mountains and
huge basins or deeps, the plateau areas
are by far the most extensive. Rela.
lively speaking, the floor of the Pa
cific is now at last revealed on the
plateau areas in level. There are I'm.
dulations and depressions, but the gen.
eral area is about the same depth be.
low the surface.
Soundings develop a mean depth OF
from $500 to 2,7OO fathoms. In shoaler
spots there is mean depth of from
1900 to 2,400 fathoms. Deeper spots
show from $500 to 1900 fathoms.

Queen Victoria was a great flower

child she made daisy chains on the

she ever did her jewels. When she
paid her one and only visit to Spain,

flowers in lavish profusion decorated

Losses by Drought in Australia.

The wheat harvest Of 1902 in New
South Wales is only one-tenth Of the
harvest of 1901, and this represents a
osseto the wheat growers of over So
100000. The losses in grain, hay and
vegetables are at least as great in the
aggregate, while the disasters of the
pastoral industry are on yet more
tragical scale. In the focks and herds
of the state there is decrease Of
7,4O1 horses, 319,461 cattle and 49,
$50, 632 sheep! Taken at low rates,
this represents an immediate cash loss
OF something like 98,000,000.

STATEHOOD OF NOTHING.

The subsequent proceedings today would indicate that the friends Of the bill are well organized. The republican leaders who oppose lstatehood appreai- ate the extent of the embarrassment that confrOnts them. The democrats say that from their standpoint the sen atoriai status could not be improved. r. the republican opposition to the state hood bill results in 8 long debate it will render the republican organiza- ticn poWerless to enact any trust legis- lation in this session and will defeat the Cuban treaty.
 The bitterness between Quay and Hanna has been accentuated as has the i'll feeling between Hanna and Foraker. The republican leaders like Aldrich and Lodge and Platt of Connecticut who have been so potent in shaping legis- lation now understand that the repub- Hcan revolt against their methods has both leadership and direction and that the national platform is to be employed as club to administer the knockout.
 The policy Of the leaders has been so unfair with respect to the omnibus bill that there will be no particular sym pathy with them.

HATED TYRANNY
 WHEREVER FOUND
Chairman Gray's Comment Regarding
 Strike Leader.

Philadelphia, January 21.-The ses- sicn of the coal strike commission to- day was enliveded by some interesting testimony. The feature of the session was Chairman Gray's rather strong remarks in commenting on an incident where District President Fahey Of the Miners union would not grant peImis- sion during the strike to a contra ctor to erect a boiler house at a colliery, the work being necessary to preserve the mine from damage.
 The president of the commission said he hated tyranny, no matter whether it was practiced by an operator, a miner or anyone else.
 During the morning session the Le- high Valley Coal company which open cd it's case after the Temple Iron com pany closed placed union miner on the stand to testify about what seem- ed a trivial matter and on cross exam ination he proved a good witness for the miners. He said there would be trouble in the anthracite region so long as the coal companies insisted upon paying the contract miners by the car. instead of by weight. This openeda dis cussion between the counsel for both sides and the commissioners. The re- suit was that the committee decided to devote an entire day to hearing the arguments on both sides of the ques- tion.

NO CONIPROMTSr.

A committee of democratic senators waited upon MT. Quay just before the senate convened today and had a. thorough understanding with him. Sen ator El--ins was present in the commit tee room when the delegation called.
 The following statement and question were put directly to Quay: "Rumors have reached the democratic side that the republican senators who are sup porting the statehood bill have been considering various compromise bills. |; such compromises are agreed to they "ill expose the democrats to ridicule before the country. Our organization is complete and ready to stand by you tn the finish. Can we say that no coal- promise will be agreed to?'
 Senator Quay stated in reply that he could not now yield to any compromise without disgracing himself that he was in the fight to the finish and that the defeat of the measure depended upon the action of the democratic ssa- ators.
 Senator Elkins said. We have the written pledges Of republican senators who will stand with us until the last 1T you can secure similar pledges from the democrats there can be no oues. Ion about the result"

THE BATTLE OF CORD.
It Took Ten Hours to Kill Forty
 Men.

Caracas. January 21.-The revolu- tionary force under Colonel Hiera, which attacked Coro Monday, was obliged to retreat. leaving thirty men killed. 115 wounded behind as we'll as many prisoners and considerable amount of arms and baggage in the hands of the government forces.
 At l o'clock Monday morning the revolutionists under Hiera unexpected ly assumed the offensive. The govern ment supposed Coloned Hiera was at Sabineta. Instead he appeared outside Coro with 1000 men. his entire com mand, and attacked the town from two different directions at the same time One rebel column succeeded in pushing nearly to the center of the town. At first the government soldiers were thrown into confusion. but as soon as they recovered from their surprise they stood up against the rebel forces. The government troops were commanded by Geenrals Hermosillo and Teleria. After an engagement which lasted for ten hours. the fighting going on in the streets and flom the houses of Coro, the revolutionists were obliged to re- tire.
 Colonel Hiera, who showed great per sonal bravery during the fight, is re- ported to have been wounded in the leg. He is now fleeing in the direction of PaTaguayana and will probably en- bark for Curacao.
 The government lost ten men killed.

Washington, January 21.-(SepciaD.- - With ten votes in his favor as the re- suit of the first test vote in the senate in connection with the omnibus state hood bill, Senator Matthew Stanley Quay is feeling very comfortable to- night, thank you, and his supporters declare that the statehood fight is as good as won. While the BeveriGge con- tingent deny that they have lost any advantage it is only too plain from their actions that they have seen the hand writing cn the wall.
 The showing of hands came late this afternoon when Burnham of New Hampshire who had been reading very commonplace essay in opposition to the bill. asked to be permitted to continue his remarks tomorrow. MT. Quay. who had served notice yester- day that he intended to resist further delay. insisted that the debate pro ceed or that a vote be taken. MT Cullom, who sides against the terri tories asked for an executive session for the discussion of the reciprocity treaty. Mir. Quay declined to be side tracked.
 Then" said Mr. Cullom, with a oock-sure air, "I shall move that the senate proceed to the consideration c: executive business
