J A IN UIN I lIYltLY UtAIM.
nrnlottt br Man Who Kiw Roma
Strange Thinpi Even Though lie Had m
Gnu The Crow lUslikrd Certain Kindt
of Auiiual He Was m (.rent Hunter.
"When this reirion was nearly all
woods sixty years aso," said an old
resident of Bell Meadow, "I pickod a
young crow out of the luml in Tamarack
swamp, where he had tumbled out of
the nebt before he was old enough to fly.
I named him Abe and turned him, and
he developed into the brightest bird 1
ever saw. Like all tame crows, Aba
i was mischievous and inquisitive. There
wasa knothole in the floor of our cistern.
under it, although he tried very "hard.
"Several times a day Abe flow down
to the creek, hunted up a pebble and
carried it in his bill to the floor of the
cistern, where ho dropped it through the
- Itootholo. The instant he let the pebble
drop he would put his ear close to the
hole and listen. Ho could hear the lab
ile strike the water, and tho noise out
lt his sight excited his curiosity so much
'that he dropped a half bushel of pebbles
into the cistern before lie gave up.
"Abe accompanied me on all my hunt
ing trips in the fall and winter, and he
saw me kill five or six wolve3, half a
dozen wildcats and several deer. The
woods were full of deer, and there were
so many wolves that we couldn't keep
any sheep. Abe took a great liking to
deer and rabbits, but he hated wolves
and wildcats, seeming ti understand
that they were destructive and danger
ous. One afternoon, the summer that
he was a year old, Abe flew into our
little clearing and cawed and fluttered
about as if he wanted me to leave my
work.
t "I knew the crow had seen something
thatd;.pleased him, and so I picked up
two rifles and told him to go uhead, j ust to.
see what he would do. lie went squall
ing through tho air toward Bell Meadow
brook, and when ho alighted on a tree
he kept yelling and looking down in tho
ravine. I looked, too, little expecting to
see what I did. A pair of wolves were
tearing at a doe they had pounced on
and pulled down. 1 killed them both
before they got three leaps from the doe,
and when Abe saw that they couldn't
move ho cawed and croaked as though
lie was glad.
"The next winter there were three feet
and a half of snow on the level, and we
had to wear snow-shoes to get around.
While 1 was splitting wood near the
house one cold inoruing the crow came
sailing and squalling to the settlement
from the direction of Lake Henry. He
was excited about something, and he
perched on the log and went to flapping
his wings and dancing up and down. 1
understood him well enough to know
that he had seen something that he
didn't like the looks of up in the woods
toward tie lake, so I and my brother
and cousin put on our snowshoes, shoul
iered five loaded rifles and started into
tne' woods, Abe leading the way and
yelling.
"He led us to the lake, where we saw
, a sight that 1 shall never forget. In a
I ; space where the wind had blown the
if snow from the ice a flock of seven deer
had been cornered by a pack of five
wolves. The deer couldn't get out on
account of the deep snow, and the wolves
had killed three of them when we got
there. While we were blazing away at
I tne oruies we crow new overneatl and
shouted his approval. We killed the
, wnoie pacK, anu ado leit so good that
y he rolled over on the crust several time9.
"One day in the spring the crow saw
a fisher catch a rabbit and carry it to a
.?H hole in a bass wood tree, thirty feet from
' the ground. My brother and I were
. chopping near by, and Abe squalled
around till he attracted our ntten-
A tion, when he flew up to the hole
r 'where the fisher was concealed. We
cnopped the basswood down, and the
fisher skipped out and ran up a hemlock
tree to where the leaves were so thick
we couldn't see it. Abe flew up, alighted
above the fisher and began to squall, and
squinting through the foliage below him
I could see enough of the fisher to fire at.
I banged away, and down came Mr.
Fisher with a bullet in his head. Abe
fairly laughed when the fisher tumbled,
"One morning I found six pullets on
the floor of the lien shanty. A mink had
killed them, and that night I set two
' steel traps and put one of the pullets be
tween. In tho morning a mink had its
forefeet in. one of the traps and one of
its hind feet in the other. Abe tagged
me in, and when he saw the mink strug
gling to get out he ran up in front of ' it
and began to yell in its face. I let the
crow torment it, and while my back was
turned the mink caught Abe by the neck
and bit him so hard that he died in a
few minutes." Cor. New York Tribune.

The Sky In January.
The planets which figure on the
roles of evening stars in January
nre Mars and Jupiter, Mars sever
al months ngo lost the glories in
which he presentedhimself to us in
the early days of last August when
he was at his opposition. He is
near the southerly point now when
he comes fairly into view at the
close of the evening twilight, and
is in the constellation of the fishes.
Jupiter, like Mars, is also losing
splendor, but he is still the bright
est orb in the evening sky at the
time when he comes into view after
the sun goes down, lie too, is in
the constellation of the fishes, but
is farther east than Mars, It will
be noticed that the distance be
tween tht giant planet and the sun
is steadily narrowing. Karlier and
earlier he sets every evening, and
about three and three-quarter
months hence, or on April 27, he
will sink out of view with the sun
and be a morning star until No
vember IS,
About three weeks from the pres
ent time, or on January 13, Jupiter
and Mars will be in conjunction.
On that evening they will be appar
ently so close together that they
will be seen near the same spot in
the heavens. The larger of the
two orbs will be Jupiter.
'ercury, Venus and Satarn are
morning stars. In the latter part
of January Mercury may be seen in
the east raising about an hour and
a quarter before the sun. Then he
will be about as far away from the
great central orb as he ever gets,
and will consequently be favorably
situated for the observation of early
risers. About the middle of March
he will be an evening star and be in
his best position for view about an
hour after sunset.
Venus is still the most beautiful
object in the eastern sky in the ear
ly morning. She will swing over
to the east side of the sun on May
- and become an evening star, iu
which role she will remain the rest
of the year.
Saturn is rapidly coining into a
good position for observation, and
will soon be an object of interest in
the eveniug sky. On March 'J.Mie
will appear above the horizon in
the ejst just as the sun disappears
in the west, and will be visible all
night. He will then hold the place
of honor among the planets, so
Jupiter will be too neiirthe sun to
be visible more than an hour after
sunset, and Mars, which will also
set early, is steadily waning in
luster. Six or seven weeks later,
however, Venus will appear for a
few minutes after sunset, and two
or three weeks afterwards she will
reign supreme among the evening
luminaries. '
The moon which reached its full
stage on Januury 2 wil make a not
ably close approach to Saturu' just
before midnight on the Hthfcnd on

The freaks of the electric current are si
rrost as iiicninpri'liunsilile mid mysterious
to t lie unscientific mind, ninl jt might be
added totliehiii ntilicaNo, as tlie suhstnn
tinl clmriicterUtics of t'.ie current itself.
Could a current lie directed in a line with
out the medium of conductors the com
motion, horror, dodging mid dread that it
would cause would Ik- Mifllcieiit. to paralyze
bu man .eneri;y and drive humanity off l lie
faro of (lie earth. It is, however, carriec
with comparative safety liy the niultiilic
ity of wires that are used in its transmis
sion over a Iii-kh portion of the earth's sur
face. Iu larue cities like Haltimore, It
ramifies and intersects almost every thor
oughfare. Invisible and noiselessly it docs it work
the commotion it creates not lielnir as
great as the arc lights ihat it brings Into
existence', the machinery it propels or t lie
telegraph instruments that it operates. A
curious substance, that can permeate the
densest piece of steel, stone or wood, it can
yet be deflected with the frailest piece of
glass or other so called uiiiifoiiductiiitf ma
terials. For some material it has an af
finity, and will 'jump" a considerable dis
tance to reach It, while for others it has
such a repulsive hatred that it wiil not
touch it under nlnnmt any circumstances.
Klectricians, however, say that there Is
no material that is absolutely a noncon
ductor, although in some tho amount of
the force taken up is so small as to be al
most imperceptible and does not iu any
perceivable degree interfere with the regu
lar current, ,'1'hnt tiio electric current
generated from the dynamo or undiluted
from the clouds is dangerous to human
life is unquestioned. The currents used by
the electric railways, despite the theories
of Professor Francis Nipher, of the Wash
ington university, according: to the state
incut of electricians, is fatal if come In con
tact with under ordinary conditions, and
the minie can he Kiid of the arc light sys
tem. ,
The abiding place of the current appears
to be the ground, lm jt takes the most
direct route to got there whenever an op
portunity presents Itself, and goes through
a human body as quickly as an iron rod if
occasion demands. This applies to all high
tension wires used upon tliestreets. Where
they enter buildings for the purpose of in
candescent lighting appliances are at
tached to them to modify the force of the
current and render it comparatively harm
less. An expert on the subject, in discussing
the mutter, stated that an individual on a
dry day with silk socks and good Ikjo.do
might escape death when coming iu con
tact with a high tension wire, but on a wet
day he would not. be liable to escape. The
preventives and precautions used by the
electric companies to protect the linemen
and other employees verify the statement.
Under the regulation of theelectric light
and power companies no employee is al
lowed to asceud a telegraph pole unless h
wears rubber boots rubber being a non
conductor and carries with him a safetj
belt. This belt Is hooked around his body,
and he fastens it to the pole and begins op
erations. Should he come in contact with
an exposed wire and receive a shock the
belt will keep him from falling. A num
ber of lineuieu In this city owe their live
to this safeguard, as it enables their com
panions to remove them to the ground with
comparative safety. This precautionary
system is also used by t he telegraph aud
telephone companies.
The wires used by theelectric light com
panies are generally placed on the lower
arms of the poles and are required by law
to be heavily insulated. The operating
wires of electric railways, while being
placed in the middle of tliestreets, are pro
tected by "guard wires." These wires are
intended to prevent such telephone and
telegraph wires as may chance to fall from
coming iu contact with the electric wire
itself an occurrence very much dreaded
by the telephone and telegraph companies.
As the strongest current will make a
break for the earth byway of the telegraph
or telephone wire to reach its destination, it
would, if not arrested, go through the in
struments in the operating offices of those
companies and burn them out. The com
panies, to guard against such accidents,
use what is called "lightning arresters,?'
which are intended to avoid lightning as
well as stray currents. Attached to each
wire in the central oflice of the Chesapeake
Telephone company Is a No. 3U insulated
wire that runs across a small piece of tin
foil, held iu its place by two small brass
supporters at either end, one end of which
connects with a ground wire.
While this litt le wire is large enough to
pass a current sufficient for telephone pur
poses, a current of a higher power will in
stantly burn it In two, and the intruding
current, instead of getting into the build
ing will take the ground wire for the
earth. There is also a device of similar
construction used by telephone companies
that will "open the current" and expose
the breakage the first time an attempt, in
made to use the telephone with which it is
connected afterward. This places the pos
sibility of an accident at the minimum.
Telephones iu buildings are not so pro
tected, and hence an occasional stray cur
rent will reach them. They are so con
structed, however, that no serious danger
can result to the operator. It is said, how
ever, that an instance is on record where a
man was killed by lightning when respond
ing to a telephone call.
The telephone box conies out of such or
deals without comparative Injury, the ball
coils, which are easily repaired, being
about the only things damaged. Tele
graph conipauies use as lightning arresters
an appliance similar to that used to pro
tect telephone offices. It is based on the

Why don't more people die of pneumo

That is what I think every night in

stand in unprotected full tires around
the cold mid diaf'.y lobbies or out oil

You'll see them at the Madison Squars

If you were to tell one of theso that

of ignorance, ho plunges into the danger
without a thought on his part or a qualm

On Sept. 27, 18112. General Karl Fried
rich Wuller, of the Hanoverian army,
died at Hanover in his ninety-seventh
year. The deceased general was present
on the lGth, 17th and 18th of October,
1813, ut the famous "Battle of the Na

Danger in Furmice Ite gluten.
"1 can tell you of one danger that is
generally overlooked,' said a friend,
"and that is in letting inflammatory sub
stances fall through the register. The
other day I had a case of china unpacked
in the dining room. The box was filled
with 'excelsior' packing, and after the
dishes had been taken out I told the
maid to clear up the litter ou the floor,
A little later I came into the room and
smelled a strong odor of burning. It was
a very cold day, and there was a hot fire
in the furnace, and as the smell seenn '
to como from the register I lifted it en
tirely out and stuck a bent poker us far
down the pipe us I could reach. With
a lot of dust and rubbish I brought up a
quantity of excelsior shavings which
were distinctly scorched by the heat. It
was the first time that Iliad ever thought
of the danger of 'sweepings' connected

In tho summer holidays of 1858 the
floor of Long chamber iu Eton school
was removed, and two largo cartloads of
bones, chiefly of necks of mutton, were
taken from between the floor and the
ceiling of tho rooms lielow. How they
came there was explained by Mr. Car

ent writer that when the sixth form
boys took their supper in "chamber" the
rats were wont to come out of holes in
tho floor uud wainscot to feed on the
boneB which were flung to them. WJien
these animals from time to time became
a nuisance by their numbers, a fag was
sent round while tho rats were feeding
to insert long stockings in their holes,
with the apertures carefully opened.
The modern sock was then unknown.
When this was done an alarm was
given. Tho rats ou rushing to their holes
were trapped in the stockings, which
were theu drawn out, and the rats were
banged to death against the beds. "And
you went into school next morning in
the same Blockings, sir?" "Of course, of
course," was the reply; "we could not
get clean Htuckings when we pleased."
