Kite Fooled Kingflsher.

From the Rochester Herald
Seven boys entered their miniature air
ships for the annual kite-aying contest,
open to children Of the public and paro-
chial schools, which took place yesterday
afternoon in Genessee Valley Park.
Interest was lent to the contest by an
odd Incident, showing that the birds OF
the air may be fooled by the cleverness
of man. Aling Brown had a kite made
in imitation of an American eagle, and
when 1t spread its wings to the breeze
and rode away into the tir 1t looked like
real king of the air"
Indeed, so perfect was the imitation
that as the beautiful kite scared over
one Of the trees in the park in rising, two
large kingishers saw the strange fowl
and, uttering their shrill cry OF battle.
left the tree and followed the kite high
into the air. They wheeled and circled
around their new enemy, but such was
their awe of the majestic bird they did
not venture TO push hostilities to the
actual point Of contact. This eagle kite
took the first prize.

Beginnings of Life.

The beginnings of life have been lately
studied by Miss Rina Monti in some of
the newer lakes of the Alps, says the Bal
timore American. In the Lake of the
seracs, which has been formed within the
memory OF the present inhabitants. only
five species of life are ell plants. four be-
Ing datoms. In Ong and Tignaga, two
Older lakes, animal forms-feeding upon
the diatoms-have begun to appear The
observations make it evident that life in a
lake begins with diatoms that absorb
the carbonic acid dissolved in the water.
and that the next stage is the develop
ment Of simple animal organisms, Ike
rhizopods, that subsist on vegetable forms
already existing. Biologists have IN
ferred that the first life on earth begins
in the ocean in this same way.

the next older or bigger brother Of aniline
So Perkin purified his aniline, with the
surprising result that the purer he got his
aniline the less Of the new dye he OBJ

planned, practically. He found that Il was

dine is still more ambiguous than aniiine;
it is thTee-sided. Like aniline, toluidine is
benzine-like hydrocarbon and an am
monia-like substance az the same time:
but in addition. toluidine is also me
thane, or marsh gas, like hydrocarbon
The reason why this property of tOluidine
allowed 1t 70 be influential in making the
new dye was not understood in theory at
that time, though It was fully utilized in
practice; the mixture Of the aniline and
toluidine oils was oxidized to the trade,
