The Bell Bird.
The most remarkable thing in con
nection with the bell bird Is its power
ful voice. It utters a clear metallic
note that can l>e beard at a distance of
three miles. Its noise is like that pro
duced by a blacksmith striking his an
vil. Sometimes it repeats its 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 in
mate of the zoo raising its voice at
once Except for a space of naked
9kin on the throat and around the
which during the breeding sea
son is of green color, this bird Is pure
white. The contrast between the sex
es in the bell birds is extreme, for.
while the male is pure white, the fe
male is brownish green. Darwin re
fers to the bell bird when he points
out that “white is a very rare color in
terrestrial species of moderate size
and inoffensive habits.’*—Pall Mall Ga
sette.
Kept the Opposition Busy.
The only instance known wherein an
employee was paid by his employer tor
gambling occurred in New Orleans.
Walter Lamana. a child of wealthy
Italians, was kidnaped, and the inter
est was infense throughout the gulf
coast country.
The staffs of the two leading morn
ing dailies were engaged in “draw”
after hours when the city editor of
one of them was called out He sum
moned a reporter.
“(Jet back in there and play at the
paper’s expense!’ he hissed “Make
It lively!*
The reporter raised ’em and hoisted
'em and lifted 'em for an hour
Then the game was broken up by
cries of “Extra’ Extra!” and the staff
of the other paper read with emotiou
that the body of the child had been
fouud.
There was a ten dollar check from
the editor in the reporter’s envelope
next pay day.-New York Tribune.
