The best time to see tho eagles of Htorm King Mountain is in tho early morning. At tho first break of day they are astir, ami can he Been on the tongues of rock which jut out into t!v river at many points on the high¬ lands, splashing and playing in tho water. This can he seen every morn¬ ing, except when the ice covers tho river, and then tho great birds seek. Home air hole, wlirro they perform their ablutions. The water is never too cold for them to wash in. It. is n strange trait of this bird that when at liberty it is clean to a nicety, hut when kept in captivity in a cage or rack it becomes careless and filthy. The first rays of the morning sun are greeted by the birds with scnuiriH and demonstrations of joy. Gathering their powerful pinions underneath them, they mount thousands of feet into tho air, nerenming with delight and heading straight into the rays of the blaring sun. There is ono old eagle, in tho Htorm King flock which the fishermen have named Harvey Hindi, after Ihe hero of J. Feniniore Cooper’s talc, “The Spy” It is claimed that this old eaglo, a male, has been known in tho highlands for nearly, if not quite, a century. He is known from a peon liar droop in one of his wings und his hahit of flying sideways, and Iho fur¬ ther fact that ho is hoary with age. The bird is supposed to hnvo been shot hy woodchopperH many years ago and escaped. Ho won named Harvey Birch booauso of his having been seen on the particular mountain near Gar- risons, whom Knoc.h Croshv, alias Revolution, Hsrvey Birch, tho patriot spy of tho had the ouvo where he used to meet und confer with Wash ington.

Professor H. If. AA oodhridge, of Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, says that although carbonic acid gas, or carbon dioxide, is by no means the only impurity in tho air we breathe, it is the one which cun he easily measur¬ ed and furnishes a fair test of tho others. The best normal air contains three and a half parts to every ten thousand of car In in dioxide. The air in the streets ,,f an ordinary city contains four and a | vn lf fl V e parts. The streets of l.oli- ,| ,,u are on occasions charged ns heuvi- |y as twelve parts per 10,(100, and tho air above an old graveyard is said to he sometimes as high ns sixteen parts. This is all outside air. AVithin a public hall or a church tho nir will got much worse. Air. AVoodln idgo found in the Bos¬ ton Theatre ono evening nir in tho galleries which contained 4!> parts enr- lion dioxide per 10,000, with other im¬ purities in a ratio to correspond. The method of making these measurements ls exhaust the drv air from n drv • , bottle of known size, ana , , let it till up \, ith the ordinary nir of tho room, of ’ OOUTHO continuing . tUO , cxlmustion , .. long , enough to secure a fair sample, and then subject that sample to chemical tests. Another interesting fact is that it is the combustion, particularly of coal, w hich loads the air of our eitv streets «i l h carbon dioxide, rather than the breathing of living animals. Compared with a huge chimney over a steam boiler, a room full of people is very harmless. il FIVE MIN KILLED IN A GEORGIA CONVICT ( AMI*.

The part of the scaffold upon which they stood was swept aw ay and the men were thrown into space. Headlong down the entire distance fell the two negroes. Brown, by the wildest freak of luck, grasped one of the derrick ropes as he shot through the air. As the boom of the hoisting engine fell the ropes on the tackle were set in motion, one going up and the other down. It was Brown’s good fortune to catch the rope being drawn upward and lie was hauled safely to the roof. To another boom of the derrick pro- jecting out on the other side of the building was attached a car, in which t four men were standing. ,1 , r 11ns , boom , likewise fell, hut was held up by * the roof, f mi ihe car was dashed iij over < lie side of the building and swung lltere in safety. The men were rescued through a window,none of them being injured. The two negroes struck the ground in tho basement. The scaffold from which they fell was on the court side, and a clear fall to the very bottom was opened to them. The bodies were crushed and mangled horribly. Scarce ly a bone in the body of either remain- ed unbroken. CYCLONE HITS COR DELE. T«mn SuflVra iireat Oanmfji' From Wind nn«l Hail.

The Chicago Post of Thursday says: “Acording to a story which has reached Chicago from Paris via A\ ash- ington, the terrible holocaust , , which , . , wiped out over one hundred lives at the French capital May 4th was the work of anarchists thirsting for re-. venge on the upper classes of France, “It is claimed that while the official inquiry into the circumstances sur- rounding tho catastrophe threw little light on the cause of the tiro, the secret service department is working on a clew that points to an anarchistic con- spiracy of stupendous magnitude. “it is said the Paris detectives have not only satisfied themselves that an- archists were at the bottom of the awful crime, hut that the leaders fled to America as soon as they had seen with what frightful success it 'had been executed. “it is also asserted that several per- under , arrest 1 • t, Pans • under , sons are 111 suspicion 1 of knowing more about it than ,, they care to tell. | “A member of the French legation at AVashingtoi is said to be authority for the story.” the offl- A AVashington special says I c j a i s 0 f the French embassy there re¬ f, lse to impart information concern- i n g an y connection that the anarchists may have had with the holocaust in the early part of May. j Mr. Lofevre, tho first secretary of j 1 the communication embassy, said that received there had from been his no | government looking to the apprehen- j sion of the leaders of the outrage who it is said have fled to America.

HAVOC WROUGHT ISA IIAIL. Untold Damage Bone at Topeka—Animals Killed and People Injured. The worst hailstorm known in the history of Kansas struck Topeka short¬ ly after fi o’clock Thursday night. Hailstones weighing twelve and pix- i t een ounces stripped the trees of their foliage, smashed window panes on ev- ery band, including the finest plate gi nS8 store fronts, cut down telegraph | au q telephone wires, riddled awnings aiu | inflicted unprecedented damage i throughout the city, ]) ogs were struck in tho streets and instantly killed. Horses were knocked to their knees. Runaways occurred throughout the city. AVhen the fury of t ] 10 storm b, u i , iasset i fl ea( l birds were found everywhere, A heavy wind and terrible lightning accompanied the storm, Topeka looked like a city that had withstood a siege of war guns. There aro not a fl ozen buildings in the town that are not almost windowless and manv roofs are caved in. T fl e ( ] amage wrought can better he imagined when it is known that tho hailstones ranged in size from that of a hen’s egg to au ostrich’s egg and that thirty u u.uutes after the storm one hailstone was picked up which meas- ured fourteen inches in circumference, Surgeons were kept busy dressing the wounds of persons injured in the storm aud reports of injuries cantinuo to he received. The damage cannot he estimated, but it will amount to thousands. AVindow glass rose to a premium and three carloads were at once ordered from Kansas City. A QUESTION OF BOUNDARY May Result in the Finding of Gold In Oak Point Island.

According to maps of the geological survey, the island is in Canadian ter¬ ritory, but according to the wording of the treaty of Ghent, the island is a part of the state of Minnesota. Canada has issued patents to several valuable mining locations on the isl¬ and, and vigorous protests are being sent to AVashington hy prospectors. CAN SHIP CUBAN TOBACCO.
