1.-THE BIRDS OF NIGHT"
Various Species Of Owl That Dwell In
the Ground and DevouT
Rodents.

Among the largest of the owl
tribe are the snowy and eagle
owls. both of which are occasion
ally met with in Great iritaia.
The larger species of eagle owl,
SAYS Nature, arc the most Zero
cious, and prey uron rabbits and
large game birds. while the snowy
owl. though indulging in similar
prey, does mnch good by devouring
those destructive little rodents
known as the jennings.
In North.and South merira are
found. in greatpImbers. the Amer
lean burrowing owl. 1t dwells in
holes in the earth, sharing the
habitation with the original ex-
cavators, such as prairie dogs.
ground squirrels and badgers.
Nor is il an uncommon thing to
!. find housed with this strangely
mixed family a rattlesnnke and a
lizard or Two.
/. Then we. have the species known
ms the pigmy owls and the little
J, owls, members of the former
group being no larger than wood
lark. These harmless little birds
stand out in marked contrast with
the giant eagle and snowy owl.

On last Friday Leakesville s Ball
Team played its first match Game.
the Lucedale Nine being the opnos-
ing players The game was played
upon the Leakcsvil.e- Diamond, and
while both sides played a good gam )
it was easy apparent from the start
that I4eakesville had line up cut
uratehing LlHedale in knowledge and
skill. When the agreed number of
ennings had been played the Score
stood II to 3 in favor of Leakesville,
WHICH we must say was 4 splendid
victory for the Home Nine, quite a
leather in its cap, the first game pla-
y,Ted considered. The Luced;lle boys,
accepted their defeat very gracefully
and gamely expressed their ability
to turn the tables at the l.eyt play
between the same teams, which was
arranged to occur Saturday next.

BONE LOST IN '64 RECOVERED.
Veteran OF the Civil War Has Missing
Part Of His Anatomy Re-
turned to Him,

After nearly 40 years, Jacob S. Miller,
an old soldier Of Uniontown. Pa. lately
received piece of bone taken from his
left shoulder by the late Dr. Norman S.
Teal, of kendallville Ind, on July 21,
1864, at the battle of Peach Tree creek,
Atlanta, Ca, when Mr. Miller was
wounded. The piece of bone, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, is about three
inches long.
Although a terrific windstorm was
raging at the time, the surgeon operated
in the open air at night by torchlight.
DR.. Teal was much gratified by his sue
cess, and after the war, when he lectured
on surgery, he frequently exhibited the
piece of bone before students.
Nearly 80 years ago Mr.. Miller asked
DR.. Teal for the piece Of bone. but the
doctor would not part with it, DR.. Teal
died about five years ago. and recently
his son. Dr. George A. Teal. consented to
return the bone to Mr.. Miller
Mr. Miller was corporal in company

BULLET-PROOF CLOTH
wonderful Things Related of an
Italian Invention Which May
RevOlutiOnize Warfare

The world is at present intensely in
; terested in new Italian buletproof
cloth. and since the Italian govern
ment is negotiating for its use it is
OF Importance that we see just what
! the results are, although it is neces-
sary to state that the invention re-
| mains secret, ana this notwithstand-
ing attempts to- discover it's details.
Thus we shall have TO deal with a gen
eral description and with the results
| OF experiments
The armOr is sort OF felt. the stuff
being capable Of adaptation to any
form Whatever, for example, breast
plate with collar or sort of coat
! which completely envelopes the wear
er and absolutely guarantees him from
gunshot wounds. The thickness; of the
/ protector varies from one-sixteenth TO
| seven-sixte enths of an inch, according
to the arm the effects OF which it is
designed to destroy. Against the
arn2or Of seven-sixteenths OF an inch
the regular ordnance revolver with
steel covered ball is powerless, and
also the gun of the 1891 model charged
with smokeless powder. In the numer-
Gus experiments which have been
made-in firing at a distance of sew
!. eral yards-the ball, whether it be Of
| lead or steel, when it strikes the pro-
tectOr is arrested and deformed, in
some cases rebounding and in others
being almost reduced to a pulp. Thus
there is not only an arrest OF the ball,
but reformation as we'll, and in this
reformation the force OF the ball is
converted. While there should be a
high degree of temperature at the
point touched by the ball. it seems
that the ball alone feels the effects, for
the protector does not seem to be
! burnt in the slightest
These results are not limited TO
ballistic effects, for in the recent ex-
periments it was sought to pierce the
armor with dagger driven with all
possible force. The point of the arm,
however! could not penetrate the felt
and was bent into shapeless mass.
1t IS natural to suppose that the
force of the ball would be communi-
Gated to the armor and that this
would be driven violently backward
resulting in a disagreeable shock and
one which at times would be danger
Gus to the wearer. To demonstrate
the incorrectness Of this view Signor
Benedict attached his protector to d
horse and fired upon the animal only
six feet away with an ordnance re-
volver. the ball falling at the feet Of
the horse while, he. freed from his
halter. walked away as ii nothing had
happened. 1t is to be noted that with
the same revolver a piece of steel had
been previously pierced. The same ex-
pertinent was made with a chicken
covered with breast piece Of the felt

shell. quietly pursuing the even tenor

turn out taffetas that, in a considera bile
measure, bow to the dictum of Dame
Fashion, the best houses are making a
number of fine models in taffeta.
For the new idea in trimming the
bodice of any costume is as though a
lace fichu were tied around the form
just below the shoulders, so that the
sleeve itself really commences severa,
inches below the shoulder.
Trimmed the skirt must he In to
simplest form this skirt trimming con-
s1sts of these wide horizontal tucks
from the knee down, which has been
known during the last winter season
as the jupe religieuse or nuns skirt
Then there are the double skirts the
upper one reaching to the knee and
railing in quite severe lines over the
underskirt, which partakes of the same
character as the upper one both as tn
trimming and cut
In the soft satin liberty and creme de
chine are noted some interesting in
novations with regard to skirt trim-
ming. These have the narrow. eradu.
ated panel front, edged with a Quill
ing or ruching of the same material or
lace. The rest of the skirt is laid in
the nuns folds, or trimmed with 1aca
medallions surrounded by interlacine
of ruchings.
Still another method Of trimming in
vogue, especially in the light cloth
skirts, is the skirt top, giving a yoke
effect that is very pleasing and attrac~
tive.
The predominating idea as regard,
sleeves is ruffles. The top of the sleeve
continues to be fiat. The sleeve NAV
be composed of series of rufles or II
may be only the ruffle from Just below
the elbow and reaching to the wrist
And this ruffled style for the sleeve IA
not confined alone to tile costume made
of soft fabrics, but is well expressed
in simple gown.
The poke hat with strings is thu
natural and artistic accompaniment Of
tho 1880 fashions. It is extreme stvle
and trife too eccentric unless sub
jected to decided modification for any
considerable acceptance in this coun-
try. 1t is very bewitching to see a
woman with a big white hat trimmed
with pink roses and tied with pink rib
bons, but the American woman. a. 4
rule, prefers to see the other woman
wearing such q conspicuous article.
