a shadow as bone, while the OBJ.

strnnre SONGS of Birds.

Scott, of Princeton, continuing
his experiments on the songs OF
various species of birds, during the
past year obtained some nestlings
of bobOlinks and red. winged
blackbirds, and reared them
where they could hear the songs Of
many other kinds of birds, but not
the songs of their own species,
After his birds had grown he
placed competent judges of birds
songs within hearing, but not
within sight of them, and asked
what the birds were to whose sing.
ing they were listening. In no in.
stance was the song recognized.

in particular, an expert was Who'll

ABYssINIAN DRESS
Get Themselves Up in Apparel That
Is Picturesque and Some

''For downright gorgeousness
there is little that can surpass a

other in festival time, notably
about Easter. for the Abyssin-

tiers of the Nile.
"a brilliant. bangle-adorned

SOME GREAT SEA DISASTERS
Many Big Naval Vessels Have Gone
Down with Their Hundreds
Of Men on Board.

Loss Of the Russian flagship
PetropaylOvsk at Port Arthur,

timated strength of nearly 500 Of
fecrs and men, while a severe
blow to Russian prestige in the
far east, is one Of those ~catastrO.
plies in naval warfare, says the
Chicago News, to which an &C.
tual |combatant is always liable,
though happily their occurrence is
not common. In 1883, when
Hawke did bang Monsieur Con-
fans" at Quiberon bay, Sir Ed
ward Hawke ordered his pilot to
lay the Royal George, of 100 guns,
alongside the Soleil Royal, the
French admiraTs flagship. Before

ship, La Superbe, of 20 guns, gal.
lantly interposed, and, receiving
her opponents brOadside, went
down into the deep with her col
ors flying and $50 souls on board.
Her revenge, however, came on
August IS, 1882, when the Royal
George sunk at harbOr off Spit
head in a squat.
During a great storm in hob II
men-Of.war went down off the Brit
ish coast with 1900 men. Many
lives were lost when the British
warship Ajax took fire in 1907.

PAPERS MADE BY THE JAPs.
They Can Be Used for Wall Coverings,
Meal Sacks and Tobacco
Pouches.

From the bark of trees and
shrubs the japanese make scores
of papers, which are far ahead Of
ours, says the National GeOgraph
ic Magazine.
The walls of the Japanese
houses are wooden frames covered
with thin paper, which keeps out
the wind but let's in the light, and
when one compares these paper
walled doll houses" with the
gloomy bamboo cabins of the in
habitants of the island of Java or
the small Widowed huts of our
fOrefathers, one realizes that,
without glass and in a rainy eli
mate, these ingenious people have
solved in a remarkable way the
problem of lighting their dwell
ings and, at least in a measure, Of
keeping out the cold.
Their oil papers are astonish-
ingly cheap and durable. AS a Gov
er for his load of tea when a rain
storm Oyertakes him, the Japan
csc farmer spreads Oyerit a tough,
pliable cover of oiled paper which
is almost as imperyious as tarpau-
lin and as light as a gOssamer. He
has doubtless carried this cover
for years, neatly packed away
somewhere about his cart. The
"rickshaw" coolies in the large
cities wear rain nantes of this
oiled paper, which cost less thar
18 cents and last for a year or more
with constant use.
An oiled tissue paper which is al
tough as writing paper can be hal
at the st%atiOners' for wrapping u
delicate articles.
Grain and meal sacks are n
most always made of bark pape
in Japan, for it is not easily pei
etrated by weeyils and other il
q sects.
But perhaps the most remarl
a able of all the papers which find
common use in the Japanes
n household are the leather paper
of which the tobacco pouches an
pipe cases are made. They are a
7 most as tough as French kid,
y translucent that one can near
a, see through them, and as pliab
is and soft as calfskin. The materi
of which they are made is as thi,
az ascardbOard, but as flexible as Xxi

Distinguished Dog.

A dog in England has lately
been hOnored by the receipt of an
Illuminated address, in which he
is informed that he is the most
successful collector for the Vic
tOria inirmary at Norwich, and is
thanked by the board of mana
gers. The dog is a fve-year.old
fox-terrier, named Prince. He
docs not wear a cup or basket or
carry one in his mouth, as do
most mendicant dogs, but simply
sits up on his hind legs and begs.
When he receives a coin he goes
unbidden and deposits it in a box
kept for the purpose. During 1908
he collected more than 1000 coins.
One hopes that if illness or acct
dent ever oyertake Prince there
may be a warm bed for him at the
infrmary, with plenty of good sir
loin steak and dog.biscuit.-

THIRTY-THREE KILLED.
Accident TO wOrkmen Near Spanish
Town, Jamaica.

Town, Jhmnica.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 2S.-
Thlrty-three persons have been killed
by an accident which took place near
Spanish Town, ten miles west Of King
stOn, in the main conduit OF the West
India Electric company, which oper-
ates the street cars from Kingston and
the shareholders of which are princi-
pally Canadians.
Nearly a hundred laborers had been
detailed to remove the sand from the
enormous pipe, which is 4 mile long and
which conveys water from the intake
on the Rio Cobre TO the turbines OF the
power house. The work had practical
ly been completed when orders were
given to allow n small quantity of wa
ter to enter the conduit Through mis-
apprehension, accident or carelessness
the full force Of water was turned on,
and a mad struggle to escape by means
of the mauholes ensued with the re-
suit that thirty-three persons were
killed.
The tragedy has cast a gloom over
the colony, and At rigid Investigation
into the cause is now iu progress.
