 Last April a friend of mine was walk ing along the edge of wood in Penn sylvania. when he saw pair of broad winged hawks sailing gracefully above the tree tops. Sometimes, as they wheeled, he caught glimpses of their dark. greyish-brow backs, but most Of tine time, all he could see, even with his field glass, were the whitish breasts, barred with brown, and the half trans parent tails, with two white bars. Af- ter wheeling in circles for a time, they presently dropped down into the wood. and from different trees they called to each other, back and forth, ''Che-we-e- e-e," said one, and then, after pause came the pIaintiye answer, "Che-we-e- e-e,'' and they kept up this sad conver- sation until my friend became tired of listening to it and walked away. 4 few days later he was in the same wood, and discovered, in a rather small tree. a nest of sticks, about twenty-five feet from the ground. He ascended to the nest, which had been built close to the main stem of the tree. and found, upon a lining of moss, two whitish eggs, spotted and blotched with brown. They were nearly two inches in length, and were evidently the property of pair of broad-winged hawks; probably the very pair he had seen in that vicinity less than week before. So he came down, leaving the nest wood about once a week, and usually found one of the old birds on the nest. Sometimes it was the male, and sometimes the female, for both birds seemed to have equal respon- abilities. They paid no attention to their visitor, who walked about under the tree. gazing at the barred breast and tail of which ever bird happened to be sitting at the time. One day he came, and found both birds away, and ascending the tree, saw three doWny young hawks. For weeks the parent bird fed these helpless nestlings, catch ing large insects, frogs, mice and many other small creatures to stay their hun ger. By and by the fledglings were ready to leave the nest, and my friend quietly took them away and shipped them to me that I might study their habits for a while. 4*
 For about a month I kept them in a Continued on Fifth Page.)

 THE BKOAD-wINGED HAWK

We do not, as rule, look for gentle ness in hawk; every one who has had
 much experience with birds of prey knows that, as rule, they are savage and uncompromising. With bills and talons sharp and strong for the very purpose of dealing death to the weaker creatures which serve them as food, and with wild, fierce cries which reflect their savage, almost untamable natures, they seem, of all birds, to be the very last from which to expect kindness or a response to kindness. However, I know of at least one exception--the broad winged hawk, whose gentle nature, long known to ornithologists, I have lately had personal proof of. If I belonged
 to the imaginative school, I should be apt to believe that the broad-winged hawk loathed his trade, and that he hunted and killed from sheer necessity. His mild little face and his pathetic, al-

NOT YRE.

Yesterday a runlor was circulated in the Paris Bourse that King Peter of servia had been assassinated. It was afterward made plain that the King who got his throne by assassination has not yet lost it in the same way. But there is excitement in Belgrade. Ofh- ciaI advices srom there indicate that King Peters recent retirement of CoI- onel Niehtich from the important po- sition of Departmental Chief in the Ministry for War is the beginning of movement looking to the separation of the King from tine conspirators who took part in the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga. Nichtich, the leader of the conspiracy, was con- spicuously honored, and is now degrad- ed as the result of widespread indigna- tion at the favor shown by the King towards the participants in the assas- sination. And the Paris Temps Bel grade correspondent says the elections for members of the skupshtina next Monday promise to result in a majority favorable to the separation of the King from the regicides.
 Of course the new King will have to separate himself from the assassins if he can. But perhaps they wont let him.

SURMARlNE EIGHTING.

The experiments with submarine boats which have just been made off
 Newport and Block Island seem to have been much more successful than most people thought they would be. One
 ot the trials was particularly impress sive. The naval officers who were en-
 gagged in it state that the sea was chop
 py,, and the Providence Journals wire
 less station on Block Island reported that the wind was so unfavorable to the | work on the government tug Leyden | that the wreckers left it. Under these conditions destroyer warned of con- templated attack was sent out to Bren- l tons Reef Lightship. The submarine l went from the outer harbor of New
 port submerged, the crew eating dinner en route. When near the lightship the \ hidden craft rose to the surface for ob- servation purposes. Making out the de- stroyer. it sank and steered for the l target, which is much smaller than any battIeship The destroyer's crew were
 ready at their rapid-firers and torpedo tubes to meet the mystifying assailant,
 but they were surprised and in an in- stant torpedo from the submarine had done it's work.
 If submarine boats can do this kind of
 things their usefulness would seem to 
 be unquestionable.

THE G0I1' BUsfNEss.

It appears that in attending to United
 States Steel, Ana1gan1ated Copper, and
 the other good things that have engaged attention and money the smart people of the United States have neglected the
 goat business. Goat skins to the value
 of $25, 100000 were imported into this
 country during the last fiscal year. Of
 this large sum of money sent out of the country to buy goat skins, $7,06G, ,80G went to India, nearly s2, 100000 to China, $2, ,500,000 to France, $1,500,000 to Russia,
 $1,5oo,00o to Brazil, $1,0o0,O00 to Argen- tina, and another $1,00o,0Oo to Arabia.
 Russia, the United Kingdom, Turkey in
 Europe, Turkey in Asia, Arabia, South ern Africa. and Mexico also con- tribute literally to the supply of goat skins to. make up the $25,000, ,0o0
 worth of this product brought into the United States annually. The farmers of the United States are apparently
 making no effort to reap any part of this golden harvest for themselves. The last census showed the total number of
 goats in the United States to be less l than 100000 in number, and when it is
 understood that the skins of probably 20,0o0,o00 goats are required to make the s25,000,000 worth imported last year, 1t will be seen that the supply from the
 United States could have formed but a small share of the total.
 l There are large areas in the United States which might produce goats suc- eessfully and in sufficiently large num-
 bers to supply the entire home demand. Why not have some heavily capitalized
 goat companies as soon as "the market" will stand them.
