Among the passengers on board the steamer Eliynland recently were two little children, a boy and a girl, who were traveling alone to different points in Ohio, says the PhiladelphiaIjiquirer. The boy was George Gongh, nine years old, a bright, sturdy, little fellow, who, , owing to the serious illness oi hig mother had. been sent from Harrington, England, to be cared for by his "Undo' Jack" atHammondville, Jeff exson coun­ ty, O., until the mother again leaves the hospital. The boy- was well clothed' and very sedate. He was the proud pos­ sessor of $2.50 pocket money and ap- peared to feel rich. The girl,, in. marked contrast to .the boy, was as wild as she is pretty, a curly, fair-haired eight-year-old, Mabel Blanev, of Walsell, - England, who was going to join her mother at 272 West- Sixth street, Cincinnati. Both children had become great friends while crossing and were familiar with almost all the passengers. The bof tttoli his place by Chief Inspector Hughes' desk, and as the immigrants filed in front he would correctly give the name of almost every one. Each and everyone of the passen­ gers had a kindly farewell for the little lad. On the pier the children feasted oa such delicacies as were to be purchased, at the lunch counter and drank copious draughts of soda water with evident relish. They rushed hither and thither, the girl always in the lead, and varied their delight by occasional quarrels. As soon as the majority of passengers had left the pier the two children were provided with railroad tickets, pro­ visions for the fourney, and, after be­ ing duly tagged with the full directions as to destination, they were turned over to the railroad company's representa­ tive, their friends being duly notified by telegraph of their coming.

During the past quarter of a century the Rocky mountains of Colorado have produced millions upon millions of dol­ lars in gold and silver (and precious jewels) thousands of persons acquiring wealth and ease as a result. Some of tht richest gold minep in the world have been discovered during the past year and there is noend to the"lucky strikes" being made at Cripple Creek gold camp and elsewhere. The scenery of the ever snow-capped Rockies is unequaled in either Europe or America for grandeur. For several years there has been publish­ ed in Denver a big fifty-six column week­ ly family newspaper which gives all the most important minhi^: news and illus­ trates each week the very choicest of this marvelous scenery, contains original westerrfstories of love and adventure, pure in tone; yearly subscribers are given gold rings set witlv Rocky mountain gems free as premiums. To introduce this great illustrated weekly family pa­ per into hew homes the publishers will send it on trial three months for 25 cents (stamps or silver). Club of five §1. Men­ tion the PLAINDEALER and address Illus­ trated Weekly, Denver. Col. One Kind Carries it Cannon Loaded with a Fluid--The Dytiscus. Of all the insects the beetles are tho most interesting. There is one that car­ ries a cannon, which anaval man would call a stern chaser, and is loaded with a fluid. When pursued the beetle fires it, and the other insect, usually a car- niverous beetle, is blinded by the dis- .charge, of line, acid spray, Ilenceits- narne of bombardier. The latest thing that has been learned about beetles is that Dytiscus marginalis cuts its way through the shells of snails and mol- lusks and eats the inhabitants. W. B. Tegetmeier writes to the Lon­ don Field and tells about the curiosity of naturalists at finding shells mani­ festly gnawed by some insect or other, and the final discovery of Dytiscus mar­ ginalis at work on the shell. Then he tells some things about the Dytiscu3 family. Says lie: "I know of no more interesting animal in an aquarium than a Dytiscus, who soon acquires the habit of following the fingers for food, and amuses himself at night, if the aquarium is open, by fly­ ing round and round the room, and oc­ casionally misses the way, and being unable to return is found on the floor in the morning. There is one draw­ back to the habits of this creature. He is a bloodthirsty tyrant of the aquarium, requiring the whole place to himself, for if kept with tadpoles, frogs, fish, or any cither animals he quickly destroys them, even if many score times his own size." What hawks are to the other birds, cats are to other mammals, sharks are to other fish, the Dytiscus is to other in­ sects. BIRDS SHOW AFFECTION. Largest and Strongest of the Flock Help the Little Ones. ° Numerous incidents have been recited showing how the larger and stronger animals have assisted and protected smaller and weaker ones, says the New York World. Among the birds, however, there is a practice which is just as interesting as any of the acts *of consideration per­ formed by animals. A striking instance of that is shown on the continent of Europe. For smaller birds to attempt to fly across the broad Mediterranean would, because of the inadaptability of their wings and powers of endurance, be im­ possible. To reach a warmer climato through Asia Minor, Syria and Pales­ tine would be quite as certain to result in their death. Through the kindliness of the ^ane, however, the small birds are enabled to reach the warmer climate with little effort. When the crane is about to migrate it flies in wide circles close to the ground, uttering a loud and peculiar ery, as of alarm, and can be heard at a great dis­ tance. The small birds recognize it as a call for them, and they immediately fly to the crane and take up a position on the crane's bach. When he has all the passengers he can carry .comfort­ ably the crane starts on his long jour­ ney. Arrived in the warm south lands, the small birds fly from the back of their friend and are safe for the winter. Where the Timber Goes. One of perhaps many little considered' ways in which the forests of the coun­ try are being eaten up is in supplying timber for railway timber work. There are 2,000 miles of trestle structure in the United States, according to an esti­ mate by the Forestry Division. This trestle work has to be replaced entirely every nine years, on an average, andf everj- year timber amounting to 2^0,-i 000,000 feet, board measure, is used fori this purpose. Nearly all the timber is| cut from the largest and finest trees.) The annual expenditure on this estimated at about $7,000,000. Used to Be an Oath.
