BIRDS IN "CAkE WALK"

Naturalist Tells of Peculiar Antics OF
the AIbatross.
In the LaySan islands of the Pa
ciic the albatroSS is very tame and
very abundant. A naturalist thus de-
scribes the so-called dance or cake
walk" as the sailors call it, of these
interesting birds: 1.-TWO albatrosses
approach each other bowling profound
ly and stepping rather heavily They
circle around each other nodding sol
emily all the time. Next they fence
little, crossing bills and whetting
them together, pecking meanwhile,
and dropping stiff little bows Sudden
ly one lifts it's closed wing and
nibbles at the feathers underneath,
or rarely if in a hurry merely turns
its head and tucks it's bill under it's
wing. The other bird during this
short performance assumes a statu-
esQue pose and either looks mechan-
ically from side to side or snaps it's
bill loudly few times. Then the first
bird bows once and, pointing it's head
and beak straight upward, rises on its
toes, puffs out it's breast and utters
a prolonged nasal groan, the other
bird swapping it's bill loudly and rap
idly at the same time. When they
have finished they begin bowling at
each other again, almost always rap
idly and alternately, and presently re-
peat the performance"

Battles of AIphabets.

Decipherment of the cuneiform sylla-
barry by George Smith of the Cypriote
alphabet by the same scholar and of
the Hittite alphabet by Prof. Sayce
sheds light on conflict among alpha
bets. The battlefield was Asia Minor
and the competing alphabets were the
three named. All three, however, were
vanQuished by the Phoenician alpha
bet. The Assyrian syllabary was
backed by physical force. The victor
les of Sargon and Assurbanipal' had
made the influence of Assyrian civili-
cation felt in the islands and PENN
sulas washed by the Mediterranean.
Yet it seems never to have been in
the running at all.

readily agreed. and one evening
called to talk the matter over with

White Black Bird Is Shot.


A genuine albino black bird has Just
been shot near Catterick Bridge, York
shire, England. Scientific ornithologists
have clearly enough explained the ply
siologfcal nature of a1binism in birds,
but it is still a mystery what originates
these physiological conditions, and
also why it is that very -plumaged
birds, such as blackbirds, rocks, etc.
are more liable to albinism, pure or
partial, than any others. 1t is strange,
for instance, that white robins are
rare and it is notable that the last
found in this country was obtained in
Yorkshire (Sedbergh district). Last
summer a perfectly white sand martin
was seen by hundreds in the Bentham
Yorkshire) district, and three or four
in other parts of the north OF England.
House martins, also barn swallows,
are liable to assume albinism, and
many records are preserved in York
shire. AS for pied" blackbirds, rocks
and such like, they are as common as
the proverbial blackberries, whereas
in the whole of England there are prob
ably not more than two records of al
bino wOodcockS.

An Unknown ANGEL.

She walks unnoticed in the street;
The casual eye
Sees nothing in her fair or sweet
The world goes by
Unconscious that an angels feet
Are passing nigh
She little has of beauty's wealth;
Truth will allow
Only her priceless youth and health
Her broad, white brow;
Yet grows she on the heart by stealth
1 scarce know how.
She does a thousand kindly things
That no one knows;
A loving woman's heart she brings
To human woes;
And to her face the sunlight clings
Where'er she goes.
And so she walks her quiet ways
With that content
That only comes to sinless days
And innocent:
A life devoid of fame or praise
Yet nobly spent

AWFUL DEED OF MANIAC.
Nailed a Mans Head to the Floor to
Shave Him.

Nailed a Mans Head to the Floor to
Shave Him.
AmbrOsio Samano Campo, a Mexi-
can mailman, killed a fellow inmate
of the San Hippolita insane asylum,
in the City of Mexico, the other day
while protesting to shave him.
Campo induced the other man to
remove his straitjacket- When this
was accomplished he asked his COM
panion to don the garment, which he
did without protest. Then, laying his
victim on the floor, Campo proceeded
to drive a large spike through his
head into the floor. With shoemak-
er's knife, which by some means he
had contrived to secure, he tried to
shave his victim, but finding the lat
ter's position inconvenient, removed
the spike and nailed the mans head
to the floor in a different manner.
This operation he repeated four times.
The dead man was a brother of
Manuel Marion, prosecuting attorney
in the Belem Criminal court, and
well-known litterateur. When news
of the tragedy was conveyed to the
lawyer he was summing up the case
in the trial of Jorge Lezama, who
was finally sentenced to death for
murder. AS the attorney asked the
terrible penalty for Lezama tears
were streaming down his cheeks.
Samano Campo, who has been in the
asylum for nine years, was a power
full man. He believed himself to be
God on earth. Once he. grasped a
man who refused to worship him by
the throat and struck his victims
head against the wall, fracturing the
skull. Two years ago in a fight with
another inmate, who also claimed to
be God in heaven, Campo secured a
club and killed his opponent
