MAN FIGHTS EAGLES.
Birds Catch Him At Disadvantage and
Attacks VicjoUSty,

PORTSMOUTH. VA. April II. l..
Durnell. lumberman living at 53S
Twenty-seyenth street. Park Place,
underwent an unusual and painful ex.
periencc Saturday. when he was at
tackled by six eagles on L. w. Taze-
wells Sand Hills plantation, in
Princess Anne county
Durnell was looking over some lum-
Der land, and injured himself by fall
in a hole concealed By brush. Be-
fore he could rise the eagles swooped
down on him. and he fought them with
a clul' for 10 minutes before they
stopped the attack. That he did not
lose his eyesight or sustain more SER
ious injuries is considered remark.
able.
He said that he had reached one
OF the most remote spots on the plan
tation. when he noticed a huge eagle
circling above him. He watched the
bird, and decided that there must be
/ nest near him. A. few. uonaents
later he broke through a, cluster OF
hnderbrush 'or; the brink OF q natural
cavity. into which he plunged.
When he tried to rise he round that
he had twisted his ankle. and sat
resting and nursing the injured mem.
Der. Suddenly there was a whirr OF
giant wings beating the air and the
hole was darkened. He lokej up just
in time TO dodge the beek of the first
Of the birds. and before he could
reach the level ground above him five
more eagles had joined the first.
-
he retreated a quarter Of a mile from
the spot where the attacks began.
Those who heard of the incident ad-
vanced the theory that one OF tho
birds was a mother eagle, and that
the others were Gliding her in resist
ing an apparent attack on her nest.

when it is matter of the twitching
threads or nerves that carry messages
from our own brains to the tips of our
fingers and the bottoms of our feet, we
find that the doctors can prescribe rest
and glass of milk with a raw egg In
it, but they can tell us very little about
these astonishing telegraph and tele-
phone systems that monopolize our own
bodies and make our lives either zone
grand, sweet song" or a long drawn
torment
We look at a locomotive furiously
running, and we say again, What hath
man wrought" as we think of the me-
| chanical development since a man in
England watched the steam lift the
lid of a kettle. Gladstone said that to
him the locomotive and the violin were
the standing marvels. Even the de-
signer of a 'Mallet compound" must
wonder at the finished product as it
charges past him with string of lad
en- freight cars in its wake as long as
a comets tail. But when we have
stood and gazed in wonderment at the
locomotive, and have patted each other
on the head for the very fine fellows
we are to have thought of such a
thing without any help from the Crea-
tor, we do not know what makes a man
get up in the morning or cause baby
to crawl about the carpet and finally
to stand and to walk We read the
riddle of steam; we cannot solve the
enigma Of human life.
Or perhaps we thrust i'm our heads
impertinently at the window of the
ships cabin, where the wireless opera
tor with his vibrant earmuffs parties
and thrusts with the demons Of the
upper air for the sunlight or the
screaming gale. And we say, Surely
nothing can be more wonderful than
that" and then some know-it-all at
our elbow turns and superciliously ex-
plains to the girl beside him just how
it is done, and how forty -nine or six
| ty-seven other men were the real In
ventors, but Marconi was lucky enough
to get the credit and the patent for
an idea which was floating about in
the air subject to anybody's capture.
And so, thanks to the supercilious
young man, we know just how words
can be thrown 5000 miles and caught
