STEINERTONE PIANO SALE
Great Manufacturers Sale Now On-A
 Superior PianOforte.

The advertisement of the Steinertone Piano company, on another page of this paper, of a great manufacturers sale of Steinertone pianos is of more than passing importance to the general pub lie, and especially to those who are thinking of purchasing a piano. By taking advantage of this offer one can get the very best piano on the market at the lowest price. The company can sell at manufacturers prices because it sells direct from it's warerooms at the factory, 106 Park street, this city, and therefore saves the. expense to the pur- chaser of costly warerooms on big busi- ness thoroughfares, which piano buyers at any other place must stand.
 The superiority of the Steinertone pianos in tonal power and strength and in exquisiteness and rapidity of action and durability of construction is un- questioned. The public is cordially in- vited to visit the warerooms at any timd.

COLD CANDLEMAS DAY.
MAT BE COMMENCEMENT OF
 REAL WINTER.

Prediction by New Havener That We
 Are In for Couple of Months Cold
 Thermometer Retracts Precipitately
 lice Men Are Happy-SIightIy RIs-
 ing Temperature for Tomorrow.
 A bright, sunshiny Candlemas day, in popular lore, means a six-weeks' con- tinuation of winter The sample of weather presented New Haven yester- day was such as to give strong sus- picions that it means the commence ment of real winter this year. With the bright sunshine came frosty at mosphere and genuine cold wave. From the balmy, springlike days of January we have emerged into typical winter, with the mercury tobogganning down the thermometer tube at about q thirty-degree clip. Last night the liquid had contracted close to the zero mark.
 The cold wave has come out of the northwest and has brought winter to the northern half of the country. The sudden change has emphasized the po- tency of the cold, and New Haveners are realizing that New England Is still able to obtain some of winters best att fractions
 The frosty weather and prediction of similar weather for at least few days makes the outlook for the ice dealers brighter,
 They are now all anxiety, 9nd if the weather holds out Wftnin two or three days the ice will be about ten inches thick and harvesting will be com menced.
 There is coating of five-inch ice on Dickerman's pond in Westville, and the New Haven Ice company is cutting it for the daily supply. The ice could not be kept but it fills the daily demand. The cutting is being done by hand, as the ice is not thick enough to allow horses upon 1t.
 Slowly-rising temperature Is predict ed for tomorrow.
 A well-known New Haven citizen, who has predicted the weather of this winter so far with remarkable accura- cy, says that we will now have cold, wintry weather for the next two months, with cold April to compen- sate for our mild winter.

THE GRAND CANYON OF ARIZONA

This terrific gash is more than two hundred miles long and more than mile deep and it's area exceeds two thousand square miles. From the Ei Tovar rim, on which I stand, to the gleaming, snow-veined crags on the op- posite side of this stupendous cleft the distance is thirteen miles. Human vision cannot take in the full extent of this wide pageant of terror and glory, nor is it within the capacity of words to set forth it's overwhelming splendor. The plain on which 1 stand is nearly eight thousand feet above sea level, and here, in prodigious fissure-gaunt abrupt, frightful and wonderful-are assembled mountains, valleys, enormou rocks, precipitious crags, ravines of mystery and forests of gloom through which the black waters of the Colora- do rush onward, in their resistless flow, and over which the dauntless eagle wings his upward flight to meet the sun. All the forms are here that ima- gination could construct, and all the colors are here that glow in sunset skies. Far down in the subterraean vista the forests show like green lawns. Not less than seven geologic periods in the physical history of the planet are displayed in the layers of tinted rock black, green, gray, red, brown, blue, pink, orange and alabaster, with many other mingled hues-that constitute the walls of this colossal gorge; walls that seem continuous and unbroken are rifted with lateral Assures, the beds, of mountain streams that swell the flood fthe great Colorado River. The Am erican continent has nowhere else a spectacle to show commensurate with this in beauty, grandeur and ave- William Winter, in The Pacific Month ly.

HAWK AND LACK RABBTT

TWO weeks ago correspondent asked for the reports on action of small game In lodging the assault of hawks and other birds of prey.
 Some years ago we were hunting ing quail and rabbits in the northern part of Kansas and were walking the railroad track when we came to a section gang, and inquiring of the fore man if he could direct us where the other party could get jack rabbit to take to his home in Chicago he pointed to an adjoining field and stated there was a large one that lived in the field if hawk, that had been after him for two weeks, had not got him. I" While talking he pointed to large hawk in the distance and said:."I he comes this way we can soon tell If he has yet caught the jack" The hawk came sailing on, and when over the field made a swoop down upon the ground, and as he rose in the air a jack rabbit darted out of the stubbe and ran in our direction and the hawk made two darts at the jack in plain sight of us. As it would near the jack he would fatten himself out upon the ground and as the hawk passed over him he would spring up and run to- ward us. Thus eluding the hawk, he came quite near us, trying to get into some very tall rank grass and weeds by the side of the railroad. As the hawk was making his fourth dive a load of No 4 shot from my 12-gauge Parker ended the destruction of game by that field robber, and before I could object my friend had killed the jack.
 We noticed that the jack would squeal whenever the hawk darted at him. but a close examination of the back and ears of the jack showed that he had not been touched by the talons of the hawk,
 This being the only time that I was ever close enough to carefully note the action of the hunted I look forward with anticipation to the reports of other brothers of the field who have had more and better opportunities to note the acts of self-defense on the part of the hunted.-Forest and Stream.

WORK ALONG THE CUT.
SPECTATORS ADMIRE PONDER
 .OUS STEAM SHOTELS.

Work of Demolition of Buildings and
 Excavation Going Rapidly On--Frost
 Will Not Interfere Much--Bridges
 Will Soon be Ready.
 Excavation along the railroad cut goes steadily on, and the work of de- molishing buildings progresses rapidly. The ponderous steam shovels at Ham, ilton and Wallace streets are interest ing specimens of mechanical power, and furnish an interesting sight to the school boys, who congregate about them in large numbers after school hours. and interest also many mechan- ics in the downtown manufacturing district, who stop to gaze in admiration on their way to and from work.
 The cold wave of yesterday, it is be- Heyed, will not materially retard the work of excavation, as the frost form ed makes only a thin crust on the sur face, and the big steam shovels do their work from the bottom, easily breaking through the crust.
 The solid cement abutments for the bridges at Franklin and Osborn streets are completed, and it will be only short time before tho bridges Oh these two streets will be in place A section of the retaining wall between Railroad avenue and East street is completed. and presents the appearance of a huge block of greystone though it is simply solid cement
 These cement walls and abutments are proving economical and substan- tial affairs, as well as great labor- saving projects.
 At Union and Fair streets and along the upper end of Olive street, at the Junction of William street, the work of demolishing the buildings goes merrily on, while the eastern section of sum- mer street is impossible, being blocked with stationary engines, derricks and other excavating apparatus.
 AS soon as the buildings are refnov- ed from along the route of the cut the work of broadening it and laying the tracks will be pushed forward with an energy that will be a marvel to the energetic citizens of this town.
