Yonkers citizens last night the extension Of

FAST SHIPS KILL PARROTS

Changes.

According to the accounts Of the
dealers in wild animals, the domestic
gray parrot is likely in course Of time
to become a rare bird in this country.
The effect will not be felt Immediately.
because the parrot, as Is well known.
is a bird Of very long life. Those
that we have now, therefore, will be
with US for a long while still: but very
few fresh ones are being imported.
The reason is singular and para
doxical one. namely. that the time
spent on the voyagei so short in com.
parison with what it used to occupy
in the old sailing days, that the par
rots do not become acclimatized by de-
grees, as they once did, and the NOR
tally among them is SO great In con-
sequence, that it is not worth while
importing them.
A possible expedient might be to
give them a halfway house at the

FEUDISTS inherit FORTUNE
Over Ten Million Dollars Will Go to
the McCoys Of Kentucky
Through Will.

Owingsville, Ky.-Members Of the
Mccoy family in Pike county have re-
ceived notice that they are among the
heirs to an immense fortune left them
by Walter, William and Ezekiel Nc
Coy, who went to California during the
gold excitement in 1S49. The fortune
is estimated at between $4,000, 900 and
$2o,0o0,OO0. ...: F.
The McCoys are well known as hav-
ing engaged in feudal warfare for
many years with the Hatfield faction.
They are among the settlers Of tho
eastern Kentucky mountains.
The McCaysl who went to California
were not participants in the Hatfield
Mccoy war. The feud started over a
mountain hog which both families
claimed.
The feud was long and bitter. One
of the McCoys was tied to tree and
shot to death. One of the, Mccoy
girls was killed during battle one
night and burned in her home. After
long years of strife a truce was de-
clared. ,...,.,.. -. s. ...4.. .

ABOUT CLIFF JEWELLERS.
Theory Advanced by Investigator
Accounting for Quaint
Dwellings,.

A new explanation as to why the
cliff dwellings, are situated at such an
immense height was advanced by the
commissioner of Indian affairs, Fran
els E. Leupp. at the recent meeting OF
the New York state chapter of the Col
orado Cliff Dwellings association.
The theory was states the New York
Times, that at the time the cliff dwell
ers built their quaint homes, (probab!y
as far back as the age of mammoths,)
an immense stream flowed by almost
on level with the houses. This fiow
Of water gradually wore down the bed
Of the river until it became so sunk
en- as to leave the houses at an al
most inaccessible elevation.
Another interesting point brought
out by the commissioner related to the
fact that the doorways of the dwell
ings average only three or four, feet
in height. The builders had construct
ed these openings on the principle that
as animals had small openings in the
ground, human beings needed door
ways only sufficiently large to allow
the body to pass through.
Mr.. Leupp described these dwellings
when viewed as a whole as sight Of
impressive grandeur with the un-
broken silence brooding over all.

PENS OF GREAT HARDNESS
They Are Made Of Tantalite, a Metal
- Newly Discovered in
Germany.

A German correspondent writes a.
follows concerning "tantalite pens" a
recent invention: DR.. Werner Won
Bolton has succeeded in producing tina
metal tantalite in pure state and de-
clared that it possessed very extra
ordinary hardness.
Sheets made Of tantalite were %
hard that with diamond drill, which
worked 5000 revolutions a minute.
hardly noticeable impression was
made and the drill itself was dulled.
At that time 1t was stated that thu
firm intended to manufacture tools
and other articles of tantalite.
This latest patent is the result OF
experiments to make use OF the prop
critics of tantalite. The tantalite pen
resists chemicals to very high de-
gree; it is much harder and more
elastic than the steel pen and on tina:
account 1ndestructible. It is even
more elastic than a gold pen, and il
II predicted that if it will be placed
upon the market at a moderate price
It will supersede both steel and gold

EAR cHENEp orr 1Y HORSE
Vicious Animal Of Topeka Depart.
mont Has Attached Saw
> eral Men.

Topeka, Kan.--L e. Berger. Q To-
peka fireman, Is minus an ear. "Old
Bull" one of the horses on the fire
department, caught Berger by the ear
and shook him like dog would shake
. rat, severing the entire ear from his
head.
Another fireman saw the horse grab
Berger's ear and ran to his rescue,
but "Old BulP' would not release his
hold until Berger fell to the floor of
the fire station, minus one ear.
The team, attached to one of the de-
partment wagons, had just returned
from a IRE Ii the county jail. Berger
stepped In front Of the horses to un-
snap the names and lift them up to-
the hooks above the horses sbacks.
Without warning the vicious animal
seized the fireman and shook him un-
til Berger tainted. Then sold Bull"
stood there with the mans ear be-
tween his teeth, refusing to release it
until whip was used upon him.
"Old Bull" has a reputation for Vi
ciousness. A few months ago, while
being curried, he. caught Fireman Ba-
ker by the top Of the head and shook
him, pulling out large bunch of hair
from Bakers head. At another, time
he caught his trainer by the coat and
shook him for several minutes.
Despite this habit he is well liked
by all the flremen, who say he is the
best horse in the department. He will
rush right into a fire, and seems to
know that 1t is his duty to get to a
burning building as soon as possible.
One peculiar thing about "Old Bull"
is that he never bites at the dremen
except when he has returned from b
fire and is being unhitched.
