A BIRO WAR IN DENVER.
Straggle Going On Between the Rons#
Finch and the English Sparrow.
That saucy pest of Eastern oities,
and all Europe, Canada and Australia,
the English sparrow, has been migrat
ing westward. Denver lias been rest-
fully consoling herself, thinking that
the journey across the sago brutih waste
was too long and food and towns too
senroe for the greedy bird to risk the
trip, even for -the riohnoss of Buch a
desirable aite for an English sparrow
colony, but these aro fonnd foolish
» notions—there’s more than one wny in
\this oentury of eleotrioity and Bteam,
And even the birds know it. Two
yenw “8° two or three English spar
rows^arrived at the Denver Union
Depot, tip a box-car, behind a West
bound enfetiue, and established a set
tlement netas^ the station. Strangely
enough, the bfod has not appeared up
town, nor spreakl to any considerable
degree, but has hujuilned itself near
the original settlemeint. Last year it
was seen no furthervnp town than
Wazeo street, and this yWr no further
than Onrtis street, wbiohNphcws that
something is impeding the progress of
this prollfio bird and standing'.in de
fence of the oity.
Professor George L. Cannon has
been looking oarefully into the mal .ter,
aud says that a contest for snpreniaoy
in Denver is waging between the I lug
lish sparrow and tho little house fl rob,
or burion, the bnokyard chirper w Inch
is mistaken by so many people foi the
English sparrow. The house flnoh has
not the stiff lighting qualities of tho
English sparrow, but it has the ad
vantage of having possession of the
oity bofore the sparrow arrived.
The house flnoh is n Western 1 >ird,
and is found almost exoluBivel y in
Colorado and States farther west; the
sparrow is an Eastern bird. It ren nine
to be seen whether the Western bird
oau' hold firm against the attac king
Eastern peet.
“The struggle iB likely to continue
but a few years," said Professor 3an
non, “but it may last for a hundred
years, and as the English sparri iw is
more persistent and quarrelson ,e it
will probably oorne out viotorioui i uu
less Denver’s citizens join sides with
the flnoh.”
Revived on the Dissecting Tablt
The diBseoting-room of the Mil itary
Hospital of Algiers has just witnt ssed
the resuaoitation of a soldier whe had
been supposed to be dead for t hree
days. It was at the very mo uent
when the professor of surgery was
about to dissect the supposed oorpse
that the soldier suddenly awoke from
a prolonged lethargy. The threp per
sons who witnessed the soene were
struck with such amazemeut that they
were at first nnable to do anything.
It was not till after they had seem the
eupposed oorpse quietly slip on the
marble slab on which he was td have
been dissected, and go into an adjoin
lng room to write a few words yon t
sheet of paper to assure himself that
]ie was really alive and awake,'that
the doctor and his assistant camo'to
his aid. It is stated that the reooveiW
of the soldier is absolutely completed
—PariB correspondence of the London
Standard.
What Protocol Meant.
The piotoool that bas been arranged
between the Administration and the
French Minister representing Spain
is an informal Statement or interpre
tation of tbe preliminary agreement
for peace. Originally a protocol was
a small sheet pasted on at the begin
ning of a dooument giving a synopsis
of it. It is derived from the Greek,
protos, first, and kolla, glue.
ANCIENT NAMES OF CUBA.
Tho ultimate survival of the original
Indian name is of Bomewhat rare
occurrence in tho history of Spanish
conqnest. When Columbus first saw
Cuba, about sixteen days after his
difficulties had been laid at rest by
tho Bight of Quanabani, he was con
fident that at last he had oome to the
shor? of Asia. Further to ingratiate
himself and his designs with Queen
Isabella, he named the plaoe Juana, in
honor of her son, PrinoeJuan, When,
few years later, the Prinoe died,
Columbus promptly transferred tbe
honor o( the name to Ferdinand, the
bereaved father, and for a time Cuba
was known as Fernandina.
This act of flattery oould not have
had the desired effect, for the island
was next put under the pntronage of
the greatest of Spanish saints by being
called Sant lago.
The next name suggests probable
perils of the deep from which colon
ists esoaped by pious recognition of
the ever watohful eare with whioh the
Virgin proteots mariners. They named
tho haven of refnge Ave Maria. Other
colonists, noting the irregnlar, jagged
ooast lines, called their home La
Lengua de Pajaro (sparrow’s tongue).
Finally the use of the old Indian
name became established, and to-day
we speak of the island as it has been
spoken of by generations that passed
away in happy ignoranoe of the op
pressions that were to crush thejr race
to the ground and blot it from the
faoo of tho earth. The original
Havana was on the southern shoro of
Cuba—Han Cristobal de la Habana,
so called in honor of the discoverer,
Huracoa first enjoyed tho honor of
being the capital, then Santiago de
Cuba beoatne the chief city, but about
the year 1619 the name Havana and
the soat of government wore trans-
ferroda to the city on the northern
ooast, where they still remain.
Philip II. gave the city a coat of
arms aud a liberal local government,
and siuoo that time it has easily main
tained its supremacy among Cuban
towns.
Eccentricities of Temperature.
We have ground for expeoting that
in England, about three times in the
oentury, the Thames will be frozen
over at Loudon Bridge; but that oon-
■ummation is synonymous with an in
tense degree of continnous frost which
will not be confined to Britain; for of
late years it has beoome patent that
these areas of extreme temperatnre
are very extensive, and that when
there is an exoessively oold winter in
England and Franoe, even Italy is
often included. I can reoollect in the
winter of 1881 seeing the Arno at
Florence skated npon, and ioioles like
a prodigious portcullis hanging from
the Ponte Veoohio, some of which
were seven and eight feet in length.
I have known Cannae and Pompeii
smothered in enow, and the entire
lemon orop of Amplfi and Palermo de
stroyed by frost. Nevertheless, I
have never experienced anything ap
proaching to the following, whioh is
related by Bembo in his “Storia
Veneta,” 1., i.:
1 “In 1849, through the severity of
the season, the [salt] water of tbe
Grand Canal was frozen, and the
Btradiots [Greek mercenaries‘of the
ltepublio] held their tournament on
tbe ioe, horse against horse, with their
lauoes."—Notes and Queries.
•DD SEWING MACHINES.
Sam. of the Mare Curious of the Dm to
Whioh They Aro Put.
The buttonhole sewing maohine iB
familiar, but it is probable that the
button-sewing maohine is less so.
Such maohines, however, have been
used for years. The same button-
sewing maohine might serve to sew on
buttons of a dozen styles and sizeB,
bnt they .wonld all be buttons with
the eyes at tho same distances apart.
There are many buttons of various
sizes as to diameter whose eyes are
punohed alike. Button-sewing ma
chines are most commonly used to sew
on bnttonB that are placed close down
to the fabrio, as on underwear, and
many other things. They are not
used to sew on buttons as they are
often sewed on clothing, where, after
sowing on the button, the thread is
drawn with a few tight turns around
between' the button and the cloth,
thus raising the button upon a little
column.
Ordinarily in the use of Bowing
maohines the material is fed to the
maohine. In sewing carpets the ma
ohine travels along the carpot. The
carpet with the edgeB to be sewed to
gether is stretobed and held between
the supports of a frame. Tbe oarpet-
sewing maohine is plaood on the
double edge of tbe carpet, along whioh
it travels, as it is operated, sewing as
it goes. There are carpet-sewing
maohines that nre operated by hand,
and also machines that are operated
by power.
Sewing machines have long been
used for a great variety of leather
work. Some of tbe machines used
for suoh purposes, as, for example,
sewing maohines used for etitohiug
leather or rubber belting, are power
ful machines that stitch through suoh
materials half or three-quarters of an
inch or more in thickness. Besides
machines used for stitching leather
there are also made sewing machines
that are used for stitohing paper in
blank booke and others.—New York
Sun.
A Mathematical Mule.
A writer in Lippincott’s Magazine
tells a rather remarkable mule story.
The animal in question was used to
reinforce the regular teams, being
hitched beside them on a oertain steep
iuoliyo on one of tbe Cincinnati street
railroads:
Tbe mule made a certain number of
tripB in the forenoon (I have forgotten
the number, but will Bay fifty for the
sake of convenience), and a like num
ber in the afternoon, resting for an
hour at noon. As soon as it complet
ed its fiftieth trip it marched away to
tbe stable without orders from its
driver.
To show that it was not guided hy
the sound of the faotory whistles and
bells, the following remarkable aotion
on the part of this animal is vouched
for by the superintendent of the line:
On a oertain occasion, during a
musical festival, the mule was trans
ferred to the night shift, and the very
instant it completed its usual number
of trips it started for the stables. The
oombiued efforts of several men were
necessary to make it return to its duty.
At night there were no bells or
whistles to inform the mule that “quit
ting time" had come; it had counted
the trips, and having finished its
quota, it thought that the time for rest
and food had arrived.
that face or person from all othor facet
or persons, and associate the name
with that feature or peculiarity. Nc
two countenances or figures are alike,
and it is by noting how they differ one
from another that you will remember
them.
In explaining his remarkable memory
for faoes, Speaker Heed once said to a
reporter that he never looked a man
in the face that some striking pecu
liarity, a line, a wrinkle, an expression
about the eye, the set of the lips, the
shape of the nose, something set that
man’s faoe down in his mind in eradi-
cably and distinguished from the rest
of mankind—so that when a man ap
proaohed him he would think: “Here
comes that Robinson whose right
pupil is bigger than his left,” or “This
is Thompson, whose nose is so orooked."

The Esquimau >■ Artist.,
With all his artistic ability the
Esquimau is not skilled in his por
trayal of the human form, and he is
well aware of this deficiency. While
he attempts elaborate representations
of all other created forms whioh have
come within his ken he attempts
nothing but the orndest suggestion of
the human figure, usually indieating
the lord of oreation meroly by means
of a oironlar spot, from which a line
is suspended, terminating in two other
lines to represent legs, while a couple
of lateral lines emanating from either
side of the oirclo suggest arms. A1
most any schoolboy can discount his
art in this respeot. Yet he is by no
meanB lacking in imagination, and is
capable of portraying tho most mag
nificent and impossible sea serpents
that ever the inventive mind of mar
iner conoeived. — 8au Francisco
Chronicle.
A Patriotic Rooster.
The marines at League Island take
great pride in two bantam chiokens, a
hen and a rooster, owned by a man
who runs a refreshment stand near
the entrance to the Navy Yard. The
ohiokens are snow-white, with bright
red cornbB, and, taking his cue from
these advantages, the owner deoided
to make them the most patriotic birds
at the Navy Yard. In a bucket of
blue dye be dipped their white tails,
and after letting them dry he turned
them loose as red, white and bine as
nature and a bucket of dye eonld
make them. The rooster bas sinoe
fought and vanquished every cock in
the neighborhood, and the marines
deolare that he is the least chioken
hearted of any patriotic warrior wear
ing the national colors.—Philadelphia
Record.
ll.d Head., Not Ilald Head.*
A writer in an English weekly jour
nal says that it is a curious fact that
red-haired people are far less apt to
go bald than those with other colored
hair. The average orop on the head
of a red-haired person is only 29,200
hairs. Ordinary dark hair is far finer,
and over three dark hairs take up tha
space of one red one; 105,000 ara
about the average. But fair-haired
people are still better off; 140,000 to
160,000 are quite a common number
of hairs on the scalp of a fair-haired
man or woman.
A curious calculation has been
made, to the effeet that the hairs on
the head of a fair-haired person, if
they oould be plaited together, wonld
sustain a weight of something lika
eighty tons, equaling that of 500 peo
ple.
It costs over eight hundred dollars
to fully equip an ordinary cavalry
soldier.
