eELL1IRo BROUGHT TO LONDON.
Rare Specimen That Has Been Sc.
cured for the Zoo.

A specimen of the naked-throated
bellbird (Chasmorhynchus nud1collis)
has just been received at the Zoolog-
ical gardens, London. The most re-
markable thing in connection with the
bellb1rd is its powerful voice; it ut
ters clear, metallic note which can
be heard at distance of three miles.
Its noise is like that produced by a
blacksmith striking his anvil. Some
times 1t repeats it's notes in quick
succession, sometimes at fairly long
intervals. There is no mistake about
the voice CT this bird; it~isi1oud and
piercing, and would be heard above
the din produced by every inmate of
the ZOO raising its voice at once. Ex-
cept for space CT naked skin on the
throat and around the eyes, which,
during the breeding season, is of a
green color, this bird is pure white
The contrast between the sexes in the
beilbirds, of which two species have
been exhibited in the menagerie, is
extreme. For while the male is pure
white, the female is brownish green.
Darwin refers to the beIlbild when he
points out that white is a very rare
color in terrestrial species of mod
crate size and ipoffensive habits"

Mr.. Carnesie's Joke,

Andrew Carnegie" said a Pittsburg
millionaire, enjoys a joke hugely.
One Of his jokes made me laugh on my
last visit to Skibo Castle.
"Mr. Carnegie was entertaining at
the time Montenegran prince. The
morning after the princes arrival we
set out in huge motor.car for long
run, and as we whized past an inn q
great crowd Of Highlanders rose from
the benches before the inn and saluted
us.
"The prince seemed amazed at the
Highland dress.
why he asked, do these men go
bare.legged"
1T is a local CUSTOM said Mr.. Car
negie; a mark of respect for you, sir.
In some places people take off their
hats to show honor to distinguished
visitors; here they take off their trou
sers.'"

AUTOGRAPHS CAME IN USEFUL
Stranded EneIishman Raised Money
on Famous Names,

R Is sometimes mighty useful to
have distinguished relatives. Here Is
an instance in point. \ young New
Yorker, brother-in-law Of Sir Philip
Burne-Jones, the artist, found himself
stranded while In Albany a few DAYS
ago. Being unacquainted in the state
capital, the problem of how to raise
enough money to get back to Broad
way was serious one. Suddenly II
dawned upon him that a couple of let
ters which he had in his possession.
and which he only recently had re-
ce1Ved from Burne-Jones and Rudyard
klpllng, the author, might be made to
realize, If not train fare, ut least the
price Of ham sandwich. Acting on
the inspiration, he took the letters to
nearby bookstore, which made a
specially of the buying and selling Of
original autograph letters of famous
persons
Fortunately there happened to be
aotnlng OF particularly private OF
confidential nature in the missives in
question, and after examining them
carefully and asking some questions
relating thereto the proprietor of the
store finally offered their owner S4.75
for both letters-$4 for the Kipling
epistle and Is cents for the Rurne-
Jones one. Needless to say, the offer
was promptly accepted.

Emperor Nicholas of Russia has
many thrones. The three chief ones
are those at the imperial palace and
the winter palace at st. Petersburg.
and in the Kremlin at Moscow. This
last was a present to Car Alexis in
1860 from the shah of Persia. 1t is

Of the presentation are recorded in
an inscription on the back of the

double-headed eagles Of Russia, with
angels on either side supporting the
Imperial crown. In the imperial pal

PLEADS ANNUITY FUND
FOR RETIRED MINISTERS
Rev. J. 3. Green Suggests Methods
Whereby Superannuated Clergy
men May Receive Benefit in
Their Last Days

"a superannuated minister has q
right to have a manly support When
q minister has worn himself out in his
life work he should not be obliged to
plead for help but be cheerfully sup
ported on the annuity, basis"
The foregoing was the substance of
expressions by Rev. j. B. Green, who
was the leading speaker at the meeting
of the Methodist ministers yesterday.
Rev. Mr.. Green spoke on the present
method carried out regarding the sup
port of the superannuated ministers.
He made the point that if ministers
withdrew from actual work they should
be supported from an annuity fund and
feel their independence as the presid-
ing elders and active ministers.
He suggested that the annuity plan
be augmented by the action of the local
conference in preparing a memorial to
be presented before the general confer
ence to meet in Baltimore next May.
Favorable discussion followed and a
committee was appointed consisting of
Revs. J. B. Green, j. c. Elliott and T.
S. Urenn to form resolutions to be acted
upon at the meeting next Monday.
Rev. A. w. Nell, missionary at Bonn
bay. India, said that there were 5000, 900
English speaking people in India and
that much better results arise from
preaching in the English language. He
said that there were many English edu-
Gated natives in India who support the
churches; that there are two English
speaking churches in Bombay and
thirty nine in India, reaching about
225,000 natives.
Rev. G. b. Smyth, secretary of the
foreign mission board, made a short
talk on the great advancement of the
missionary and church work in Korea.
