THE HORNBlLL.
A Bird That Imprisons HIS Mate Dur
ing the BroOdIng Season.

Ing the BroOdIng Season.
A remarkable mode of incarceration
is practiced by the hornbills, birds
with immense bills and horny crests,
which lnhabit southern Asia, the Ma
layRn islands and central and southern
Africa. In most If not all species the
brooding female Is walled up In a hol-
low tree and fed by her mate.
She remains confined in her prison
until the eggs are Matched, and In some
species until the young birds are able to
fly. Meanwhile the mother has become
temporarily incapable of flight, as she
has molted. or at least shed all her wing
feathers, during her captivity. But the
male Is interchangeable IN providing for
his family and is said to work SO hard
that he Is reduced almost to a skeleton
at the end of the brooding season.
According to the theory Of many ma
tives, the female is imprisoned to pre-
vent her Deglecting her duty of brood
ing. and II she has been unfaithful or
negligent her mate closes the little
window OF her cell and abandons Ter
10 painful death by suffocation. The
true story, perhaps, is this: The female
walls herself In so that she cannot fall
from the nest after losing her feathers
and also to protect herself from enc
niles. The building material is her own
exCrement. This version Is less poet
zeal than the other, but 1t is probably
nearer the truth. II is supported by
the statement that the female llberates
herself as soon as the young birds are
well grown, so that her prison is less
formidable than 1t appears-Scientiic

Origin of Italics.

Italic letters were first used about the
year 1900 by Aldus Nautilus, n Vene-
tan printer. He observed the many
Inconvenience resulting from the vast
number OF authorizations which were
then SO frequent among the printers
that a book was difficult to understand.
A treatise was actually written on the
art OF reading a printed book and thus
addressed to the learned. BY introduc-
Ing the italic letter he contrived an ex-
pedient by which these abbreyiations
might be entirely got rid of and yet
books suffer little increase IN bulk. He
dedicated his invention to the Italian
states; hence the name. 1t has also
been distinguished by the name of the
inventor and called the Aldlne. The
first book printed IN italics was an edi-
ton Of Virgil printed at Venice by
Aldus In 1901.

Tragedy Near Monroe.

Monroe, N. c., July "A. NJ.
Burgess was shot and instantly
killed this morning in New Sa-
lem township, this county, by
J. w. Hill, following the accusa-
tion by Mrs. Hill that Burgess
had crimlnally assaulted her.
Hill drove Immediately to Mon
roe with his wife and two small
children, and in the absence of
the sheriff surrendered to police
man Laney, who swore out a war;
rant before Esq, NJ. l.. Flowe,
the latter committing him to jail
without bail, for trial.
The tragedy occurred about 9
o'clock in New Salem, where both
men have resided for some time.
According to Hills story Bur-
CESS and his wife drove by bis
(Hill's) house in d buggy. Not a
word passed. Burgess reached
for his pistol, but Hill was quick
er with his shot gun and fired
first, killing Burgess instantly.
Hill brought the gun with which
the deed was done to Monroe with
him when he came to surrender,
and also a number of loaded shells.
Mrs. Hill told her husband this
morning that Burgess had assault
ed her and threatened to kill both
her and Hill if she told Hill of it.
She states further that it is not
the first time Burgess had at
tenn pied the crime, but she was
afraid to tell her husband for fear
that Burgess would carry out his
threat. When Burgess attacked
her again she resolved to defy the
threat and inform her husband,
and did so. Hill had started in
quest Of Burgess when he drove
by the house, Hill is 30 years
old and the couple have two small
children. Burgess is 40 and leaves
q wife and six children. Both
are farmers.

and does not seem III the least I'M
easy as to the outcome. He will
be given a preliminary herring
