CATHEDRAL BUILT OF JUNK.

on King street, there stands a ramshackle
building which might be taken for a
tramp's refuge. Instead, 1t is dignlf1ed by
the name of a. cathedral and 1t was built
by an archbishop unaided, after his own
designs and with his own hands.
This archbishop. Serafim by name. shep-
herd of 10000 souls In western Canada, it
Is said, was at one time priest of the
Russian Church. For some reason he was
communicated. Then he joined the Greek
Orthodox Independent Church, of which he
ultimately became archbishop. 1t was while
he was in Jerusalem that he was sent for
by certain of his faith in Canada, and he
came, expecting to find and lead a united
church. He has had his own troubles since
with some of his priests. but If strenuous
ness counts for anything the archbishop
should go far. Last winter he blessed the
waters Of the Red river with much pomp
and circumstance, and incidentally was
nearly drowned in so doing

THE danger of pauperizing people by CIV

OWLS KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
Mining Company's Trouble With Birds
That Alight on Their Wires.

Philipsburg Cor Anaconda Standard.
The temporary suspension Of work at
the mine and mill Of the Granite Bimetallic
Mining Company, caused by an owl be-
coming entangled in the wires. recalls the
fac that since the transmission line was
put in commission. nearly four years ago.
twenty-five owls have been electrocuted by
coming in contact with the wires and since
November of last year twelve fine speci-
mems of the owl family have gone to owl
land over this route.
The transmission line is eleven miles in
length and furnishes current of 10000
volts to the mine and mill, No. copper
wire being used. The line traverses a wild
and unsettled country, the abiding place of
all Kinds of wild beasts and birds Shortly
after the line was opened there was sud-
den break in the current one night. The
line crew began an investigation at once.
A few miles from the power station
monster owl was discovered dead Just be-
low the pole line. The bird bore every evil
derce of having been electrocuted. The oc-
currence was then considered novelty
and the bird was stuffed by some of the
company employees and placed exhibit
ton. Since then, however, the act has
been repeated often and with such
rious loss of time to the company's opera
lions that the freaks of the owls have be-
come a serious nuisance.
AS might be supposed the breaks always
occur at night, just at the time they are
most difficult to find. In nearly every in
stance the wires burned outright, but
in few cases where the owl fails to land
with both feet on both wires no serious
damage Is done to the wires. but the bird is
always a victim. George T. MacGuire, the
electrician al the power house, has a me-
mento of one Of these night tragedies in
the shape of a rabbits foot, which was
found In the talons of an electrocuted owl.
A big owl became entangled in the wires
one night. causing the customary suspen-
sion OF work at the mine and mill. Mid
way between the station and the mill next
day Mr.. MacGuire found the owl suspended
from the wires, the claws of one foot
clutching the wire and the other holding
fast rabbits foot. The rabbit had evil
IDENTIFY been killed by the owl and partly
eaten. After making a meal of bunny the
owl had carried away the foot for fu-
ture repast or perhaps for good luck and
later struck the high voltage wires with
disastrous results. The owl had such a
death grip on the foot that Mr.. MacGuire
was compelled to cut away the claws to Sc
cure 1t, and he has carried the amulet ever
since.

TO WELCOME vEsPERs.
Cordial Greeting Awaiting the Defeat
ed Oarsmen.

PHILADELPHIA. July 15.-Although
they did not succeed In lifting the Grand
Challenge cup at the English Henley regat-
ia. the Vesper Boat Club eight OF this city
will receive royal welcome today when
they arrive at New York. In recognition
of their splendid work q committee Of the
Vesper Boat Club will go to New York to
receive the Quaker oarsmen who are re-
turning on the steamship Philadelphia.
The committee has obtained permission
Of the government to board one OF its veg
sells and go down the bay to meet their Eel
low club members. They will be permitted
to board the ocean liner with the revenue
officials at Sandy Hook and will, therefore.
be the first to extend the ''glai hand to
the plucky oarsmen.
The welcome to the Vespers will be none
the less cordial because they were beaten.
The Vespers made splendid showing at the
regatta, better, in fact, than many other
American crews which have essajed to lit
the cup in the past. The entire party Will
return to the city some time during the
day, the time depending upon the hour o.
the steamships arrival.

Instinct in Insects.
translation in the Literary Digest

According to the theory that instinct ID
inherited experience, 1t is difficult to see
why insects that live only few weeks
or months should have any instincts at
all, since the time in which they may ac-
cumulate experience Is SO limited. But
NJ. Edmond PeTrier, an advocate of this
theory, shows US that we may reconcile
It with these facts by supposing that the
original experiences, Of which the instinct
of insects is the successor by hereditary
transmission, was acquired by their an
cfstors ages ago when they lived longer
and had time to learn. OF this ingenious
theory M. A. Latour says I'm La Nature:
The progress made recently in the study
OF the nervous system has led M Edmond
Perier to a new theory of instinct, regard
ing which philosophers will probably be
somewhat skeptical, but of which a geo.
logical consequence deserves to be known
Tor Its ingenuity. The author Is endeayor-
Ing to explain, by means OF experience and
heredity alone. how insects, whose adult life
lasts only few weeks. even a few DAYS
and who know nothing of their parentage.

their wonderful instincts. Evidently there
Is no possibility here of education nor

quite spontaneous. But NJ. Perier notes
that the existL-ce OF the seasons, as we
know them. appears to be Of very recent

out the whole year. This is explained by
the fact that the sun was then much
larger, the inequalities of the seasons hay-

insects existed at time when this con-
densation had not yet taken place. Insects
were remarkably abundant on the banks
OF the carboniferous lakes or lagoons and

and Charles Brongniart, at Commentry
have shown how great was their variety
and how huge their size at that time Now,

American Pair Win Easily.

The New York HeraId's London CORE
spondent says of the victory OF the Ameri-
can tennis players in the match for the
Davis International trophy yesterday:
Messrs Ward and Wright were altogether
too much for NM. Decugis and Germot and
IedAy the match was not very good prac-
uce for them. The American nair u,ara
hardly called upon to rise to an emerpen,v
They went about the task in a matter Of
Idct way playing good American doubles
and making their win quickly.
The American service was quite as much
OF puzzle as II was in the singles vet the
French players could do even less with Mr.
Nrlghts straight serve than they could
with Mr.. Wards difficult break stroke
INey We're frequently out Of position and
change or pace and change from volley to
lob was evidently puzzling for the men.
Mr.. Wrights play was considerably the
pest his mistakes being few. He, like Mr.
ward, played with speed and dash and took
many chances. Mr.. Wright's service was
particularly good. It's low rise making 1t
very difficult 10 return. and he got not a
iew ciean aces on his first and second serve
TOO. Overhead he was deadly sure. His
shots across off the ground were keenly ex-
ecuted.
Mr.. Ward played his game well from his
Service on, but. as in the singles he was
too low on his volleys and ground strokes
ana Melted quite number of misplays
The French team showed little 10 give
them nigh rank, and there was a manifest
lack OF concerted effort on the par; of both
men. 1t was true they met with an IN
familiar attack. yet, as The play progressed
they made no better work OF It than in the
beginning They were not partial to hand
ing lobs' Few though they were, and either
Voley or ground stroke made more diff
culties for them.
An analysis Of the match Is very much In
the Americans favor. The French pair
practically beat themselves. The three sets
were somewhat similar, the games being
short and the rallies brief In all there
were but three vantage games in the whole
match.
