Goggles for Chickens.
From Science Strings.

From ScIence SIttihgs
Among the recent inventions which have
been brought out in the name Of humanity
to our dumb animal or bird friends Is a pair
of goggles to be placed on chickens to pre-
vent them from picking out the eyes Of one
another. A couple of pugnaciously inclined
birds on a farm can do a lot Of harm to the
others. and as a protection against damage
being sustained to the eyes. It is proposed
to equip the members of the flock with the
goggles
The shape Of these protectors is such that
by sprfnging them apart and placing them
over the head of the bird they will stay
there of their own accord. The frames are
fitted with disks OF glass or mica
These spectacles are designed for very
high-bred fowls and are meant to protect
from hurt.

filling of orders for canned meats in the
Philippines. The department. however. has
enough of this food for the next shipment
to the Philippines. and there are large sup

TO STAY AT PORT ARTHUR.
Lieut.. McCully Declines to Accept

The Navy Department has been informed
that Lieut.. Newton A. McCuily. the United

reaching Port Arthur from Mukden on the
last train entering that city. the ammun-
ton train 1t was called. has declined the
OFFER OF the japanese admiral to give him
a safe conduct from the besieged city and
has decided to stand by until the city falls
or Is relieved. 1t is understood that with
the exception of the French attache and
Lieut.. McCully the other foreign attaches
have left. OF course in staying at Port
Arthur Lieut.. McCully takes his life in his
own hands. for while the Japanese will
protect him from any intentional injury. he
must take his chances against the falling
shells or against the fighting which may
rrecede the final attack on the Russian
fortress. 1t is with some qualification that
the Navy Department has learned of Lieut..
McCully's decision not only because of the
spirit displayed. but also because Of the
valuable information which may eventually
accrue to the navy from his presence on
the spot.
1t is thought not unlikely that Lieut.. Nc
Gully has been with the Russian squadron
In some of its recent sortes though on this
