eELLeiRD BROUGHT TO LONDON.
Rare Specimen That Has Been So
cured for the Zoo

A specimen of the naked-throated
bellbird (Chasmorhynchus nudIcollis)
has just been received at the Zoolog-
ical gardens, London. The most re.
markahle thing in connection with the
bellbird 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
blacksmith striking his anvil. Some
times it repeats it's notes in quick
succession, sometimes at fairly long
intervals. There is no mistake about
the voice Of this bird; it Is loud and
piercing, and would be heard above
the din produced by every inmate Of
The ZOO raising its voice at once. Elk
cept for space Of naked skin on the
throat and around the eyes, which,
during the; breeding season, is of
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 bellbi1d when he
points out that white is very rare

USED POISON OF RATTLEsNAKE.
Preparation That Made War Arrows Of
Cherokee Indians Deadly.

An old Cherokee Indian recently
gave away the secret how the Indians
OF olden times used to poison their ar.
row heads for war purposes or for
Killing bears, according to the Denver
E1eld and Farm. They took a fresh
deer liver, fastened 1t 10 q long pole,
and then went to certain places where
they knew they would find rattle
snakes in abundance. About midday
the rattlers are all out of their dens,
cotled UP in the cooking sun. The
DUCKS would poke the first RATHER
they found with the liver on the long
pole. A rattler, unlike common snakes
always shows fight in preference to
escaping. The snake would thus re-
peatedly strike at the livel With it's
tangs until It's poison was all used up
whereupon 1t would quit striking and
Try SLOWLY TO move on. The bucks
would then hunt up another RATHER
and repeat the performance, keeping
up the work until the liver was we'll
soaked with snake poison. Then the
pole was carried home and fastened
somewhere in All upward position until
Inc liver became as dry as bone.
Inc liver was then pounded to a fine
powder and PLACED in a buckskin bag
70 De used as needed for their arrows
Ih1s powder would stick like glue to
any mo1steneH surface and was death
to any creature which it entered on
arrows.

A Vegetable Freak.

A freak in vegetable growth has
been added to the collection in the
museum Of the geological division Of
the Pennsylvania state department Of
agriculture. This freak was radish
which grew in the garden Of Mart
Herzog, Tyrone cigarmaker, and wcs
sent to Harrisburg by Representative
Thompson OF Blair county. The radish
Is six inches long and 30 closely re.
sembles the human form that at q
glance 1t would be taken for a newly.
born babe. It is marked 30 as to re-
semble the eyes, nose, mouth, neck.

which accompanied the radish Mr.
Thompson says that in looking over
an English record in which were
shown illustrations of peculiarities in
vegetable growth he found nothing

Old SERVICE At BUNKER Hill.
Maine Man Owns Musket That Was
Used in Historic Conflict.

Alonzo Smith % Skowhegan, Me-.
has an old gun, which was used in the
battle of Bunker Hill, 131 years ago
Many who fought on the American
side on the 18th of June afterward
went to Maine to settle, among them
Billy Smith, private in the Second
New Hampshire regiment. Mr.. Smith,
the great-grandfather of Alonzo Smith
OF Skowhegan, settled in Cornville il
1880, and his grave is in the orchard
on farm near where his grandson.
Clark E. Smith, now lives. The mus.
ket which Billy Smith carried at Bun
ker Hill was among his effects brought
TO Cornville, and on his death passed
Into the hands of his son, David, and
was by him bequeathed to his grand
son, Sylvester Smith. A few years
ago, when Sylvester left for the west,
he gave the famous old n.usket to
Sylvester Smith of Skodhegan, who
now treasures it as family heirloom.
One remark made by Billy Smith in
relating Ills experiences at Bunker
Hill has been handed down to his de-
scendants, to the effect that he felt
some repugnance at first in shooting
at the redcoats as they came up the
slope, but after the first few shots he
could as easily take aim at a British
officer as he could at a partridge. The
gun itself Is in working order, barring
the loss Of the flint, and could be
easily re-eqTipred for actual use.
