sirous of picking up any more Bank Of

mer says that he overheard the bride
groom giving his bride information re-
garding the difficulties that had been
overcome in constructing some of the
Rocky Mountain railroads.
DO you know, dear" he said, that
the grade of this road we are riding over
is more than $4,000 feet to the mileT"
How wonderful she said languidly
Yes, and there is a line Of road III
this state where there is what they call
tne loop. and they say that when II long
train Of cars is going over it they have
to run very slow to keep the cowcatcher
from showing the last car Of the train off
the track for it is right in front Of the
engine
Isn't it. though? And there is che
place here where if you drop stone
from the car window it will fall in a
straight line 10000 feet before it strikes
anything.
How Nconderful.'
Yes, and they say that the velocity
Of the wind on Pixies Peak sometimes
reaches 10000 miles an hour.

these Rocky Mountain railroads had 10
be brought away up here on the tops of

such wonderful things have happened.

oh. yes. there's no danger. They say
they never had but one accident on this

They had a big mountain landslide once
and a section of track quarter of a

there was q reduction in the manufac-

They reported that their search for the
copper fountains of perpetual death was

The Crab in the Mail Box.

When Postmaster Robinson opened tie
mail box located outside the postoftice
one morning lie found large live crab
in the box, which had evidently been
placed there by some one during the
night, with the opinion, likely, that they
were playing q smart trick. But as
there is law against placing any live
animals in mail box. and a fine of from
$50 to 500 if the person who committed
this deed is found, he will yet find there
is no Joke in it. There was a large
number of letters in box and while the
addresses could all be made out. the APP
pearance of the letters was not i'm
proved, by long ways, by the presence
of the crab.--Port Clinton Herald.

Nesting Box for Birds.
From the London Mail


Nesting boxes should be put I'D as early
now as possible, and certainly not later
than January If plenty of visitors are
wanted. They should be placed to face
northeast or east, or. failing those posi-
lions, to the west but not to the south,
sunny and tempting though that position
may seem to be-
In Germany there is a regular trade in
nesting boxes, and in Scandinavia, too, the
birds are protected as far as possible from
the ravages of the winter by the boxes
provided for them in the nesting season.
l who write have seen in the station at
Salzburg a collecting box for money to be
spent on bird food during the winter.
The fashion of building and setting up
nesting boxes for birds is rather q local
one in all countries. 1 know of one valley
in Austria called Bregenzerwald, in which
every village has its complement of star.
ling houses, as they are called. They are
erected on enormously high poles. very
much taller than any house, and set
in groups, for starlings are very sociable
birds and are fond of living quite close to
one another. In some cases the houses
are Of a truly decorative character, the
outcome Of the artistic perceptions of the
people who make them; they take the form
of chaletS, and even of churches, and are
very pretty to look upon.
Birds of a feather flock together-re.
member that old axiom, and turn II to
practical account when you are founding
your bird colony. Do not attempt to make
tits and starlings fraternize in the same
part of your garden; they like to be apart,
and prefer totally different conditions OF
existence.

ADVERSE REPORT ON BILL.
Commissioners Disapprove Claim for
Damages Filed by E. F. Best.

me commissioners today forwarded to
congress an adverse report relative to the
claim of Mr.. E. F. Best of this city for al
legged damages to his property on account
OF street improvements. In the report of
the Commissioners 1t is stated that the
property Of Mr.. Best is located on the
west side Of Wisconsin avenue between
Its junction with 9th and Frankfort streets
In connection with the Improvement of
Wisconsin avenue under an appropriation
the grade of the avenue was lowered two
or three feet in front of this property. The
sidewalk was graded from public funds
and practicable slope given to the drive
way entrance leading into the property
Subsequently, it is stated, Mr.. Best ex-
pended certain funds for sloping and ter
racing in the parking space and in further
grading of the driveway entrance
With reference to the question of dam
ages occasioned by improvement OF streets
the Commissioners report as follows:
THE District of Columbia is not respon-
sible for damages done to private property
by reason of change in the grade of streets
In this jurisdiction the common law ap-
plies. and this does not recognize such
damages. In other jurisdictions there are
statutory provisions allowing damages.
The only statutory law in this jurisdiction
regarding damages is that providing for
the payment OF damages by reason Of
changes in grade in connection with the
new union station, where the changes In
introduced in Congress for the payment Of
claims for damages on account of changes
in grades of streets but such bills have
always received an adverse report from
the Commissioners and have never become
law. The Commissioners would RECON-
mend such adverse action in the present
case. Property situated as Mr.. Bests
property is, on the slope and near the crest
Of step ascent in an important thorough
fare like Wisconsin avenue, must fairly
expect to be subject to a change of grade
in an Improvement of the avenue, and 1t
might have been the case that his property
would have been more seriously affected
than 1t really was. The property of a Mr..
Brook which adjoins Mr.. Bests, was af-
fected in a greater degree.
IF the Commissioners were compelled
to pay damages to AUDITING property for
each time that they changed the grade of
street 1t would require a considerable in
crease in the appropriations for improve
ments of streets and roads. The Com
missioners. in changing a grade, always
endeavor to arrange so as to damage pri-
vate property as little as possible, but, as
you can well see, there are instances where
some damage must be done. This dam
age, however, is usually such small
amount that the property which is dam
aged is more benefited by the resultant i'm
provement in the street than 1t is damaged
by the change in grade
