Bird
Language

The Oriental stories of the wise men
who understood the language of birds
are type or prefguring of certain in
vestigations which are now being car
ried on by men of science in the United
States and elsewhere. Prof. Nelson r.
Wood, of the National Museum at
Washington, has made an informal re-
port on this subject which is inter
esting. He declares that researches are
in progress which, in the near future.

the language of birds. and viii pre-

ton and detail Of some of these bird
languages" These are not Ian

sounds the birds express a considerable
number of different feelings, and their
calls and cries are always understood,

other BIRDS These feelings include
alarm, love, jealousy, contentment,
pain and pleasure. Prof. Wood asserts
that the common crow has a vocabu-
larry more expressive and of wider
range than that of many of the finest
song birds And the American wild
turkey affords one of the best illustra-
tions Of the versatility of bird Ian

Relies Of Explorer and HIS Comrades
Round IN the Grand chnco.


Round IN the Grand chaco.
1t was reported early in September,
1899, that Senior Enrique Ibarreta and
his men had mysteriously disappeared
while exploring the Pilcomayo River,
in north Argentina, one Of the longest
Of the second-class streams of South
America. There was little doubt that
they have been massacred BY the In
dians, who for no years past have
defeated the attempts made by con-
siderable number Of explorers to ex-
plore this stream. A little later the
bare fact was published that there
was no longer any doubt Of the mas
sacre Of the party, but no details OF
the tragedy had been obtained. Then
a report reached Buenos Ayres that
lbarreta and part Of his expedition
We're probably still alive. This report
led to the sending Of an expedition
under the command of Senior Uriarte
to rescue the explorers If they could be
found. The relief expedition has re-
Gently returned to Buenos Ayres with
evidence that leaves no doubt that the
entire party was killed by the hostile
Indians Of the northern part OF Ar
gentina In the depths Of the Chaco
forests, near a place called Esteros de
Patino, Uriarte found the camp of
lbarreta. Strewn all around were the
camp utensils and equipment. most Of
1t rendered useless by the weapons of
the Indians, who had destroyed prac-
tically everything which they could
net utilize. Even the voluminous
notes which Ibarreta had made upon
the work he was doing from day to
day were torn to pieces and scattered
to the winds. A considerable number
Of these fragments were recovered and
they supplied undoubted proof of hav-
ing been written by the ill-fated ex-
plorer. Many Photographic negatives
he had made were also found. Not a
trace, however, of any of the party
could be discovered. 1t Is believed the
entire party was surprised and over
whelmed by a superior force of In
dians and that after the whites were
killed their bodies were dragged away
and concealed in order, if possible, to
destroy any direct evidence OF their
having met violent death. 1t is nat
ural that these Indians should en-
deavor to conceal evidences of their
crime that might bring 1t home to
them, for on one or two occasions they
have been made to suffer severely for
numbering white men.-New York Sun.

The Catholic fathers have a flourish
ing mission station on the west shore
Of Lake Tanganyika, at place where
the forest comes nearly down to the
waters edge. This place has been
known for fifteen years on the maps as
Mpala and much has been written
about it as a station where the Cath
olic missionaries have been trying to
introduce civilization in a most prac-
teal manner. Here in the depths OF
Central Africa they have been teach
ing tie natives how to make brick and
lumber, how to improve the quality
Of the iron they dig from their hills.
how to make better implements from
this useful metal and the best methods
of tilling their crops A great many
natives have come from far around to
enter the schools at Mpala. A year
ago this month the natives who had
been taught to set type in the printing
office made their first book. A few
copies of it have reached Europe and
attracted considerable attention. The
little book is a geography. 1t tells. in
the native language and in the simplest
manner, something about the world.
1t gives the most interesting facts
about the geography and peoples of
some of the great nations. There are
only ffty-six pages in 1t, but they
contain a great deal of information
without being crowded with so much
detail as to make the story hard to
read. Father G. Van Acker wrote the
little volume, superintended the type
setting and printing, and made the
map which adorns the work. The ma
tives under his tuition attended to ev-
cry mechanical detail, from type-set-
ting to binding. The book Is an ex-
cellent specimen Of typography con

there were many other young men Of

the fact that Newkirk and never

graceful carriage had the distressing

the air was perfumed as we slowly
paced along. We forgot the dinner
hour and didn't care. for we were
happy.
1t was late in the afternoon when
we returned to the hotel We were
sitting in the cooling shade of the
great veranda. Another boatload Of
visitors hauled up from the wharf
were being discharged from the hacks
and we were studying them as they
passed into the hotel.
MY eye fell on one OF them and it
made my love-laden heart stop beat

tion.
What is the matter, John, dear?"
she exclaimed in alright.
l could not find words at that mo-
ment. but she followed my fixed stare
with her terrified glances until she,
too, saw the cause Of my attack Of
momentary paralysis.
She gave q scream and threw her
self fainting, in my arms.
There, among the new arrivals, stood
Charles Newkirk, back from the grave
in which / had so recently placed
him.
What does this mean, Newkirk?"
! demanded as savagely as l could
when | recovered part Of my senses.
Whatever answer he made was lost
to me, for at that moment Madelaine's
mother came shrieking to her daugh-
ter's aid. A score OF other women
rushed in upon me. l surrendered my
fainting loved one to their more skill
ful attentions, and extricating myself
from the hysterical concourse, | went
to meet Newkirk face to face. Made
