The drgt locomotives in the United States were brought over from Eng land by Bratlo Allen of New York in the faill of 12!) or the spring of 18*0. and one of them was set up on I the Delaware and Hudson railroad at : Carboodale. Pa.. but, being found tce-: heavy for the track, Its use was aban- I doned. The frst locomotive construct ed in this country was built by the 1 West Point foundry at New York In I 1830 for the South Carolina railroad and named the Phoenix. A second en glne was built the same year by the same establishment and for the same road and named the West Point. In the spring of 1431 a third engine was' built by the same establishment for, the Mohawk & Hudson railroad from Albany to Schenectady and called the De Witt Clinton. This was the Arst locomotive run in the state of New York. The first Stephenson locomotive ever Imported into this country was the Robert Fulton. This engine was I brought out in the summer of 1S31 for the Mohawk & Hudson railroad. It was subsequently rebuilt and named the John Bull. The Eaglet's First Flight. H. B. Meepherson gives a dramatic account of the frst fight of an eaglet whose life from babyhood he had watched. One day be ventured to the edge of the clif contining his cradle and looked about. Suddenly his moth er swung past on silent wvings and -tried to tempt him from his fast sess." But he was unwilling or afraid. Again the moother hovered round, and a wild, weird cry rang through the glen. -For the first time I had heard the yelp of the adult eagle, the voice a of the queen of birds callinr to her li young. The eaglet cheeped continuous a ly until he flapped to the very edge of the abyss, listening to her call. And now he. too, changed his cry, his voice seemed to break. and the adult yell b burst from his throat. The eagles called to each other, yelp answering yelp. The young eagle gazed round him, spread out his giant wings and vanished forever from my sight amongc the ledges below. The eaglet had left I the nest and had flown." Baboons and Water. In Captain D~rayson's "Sporting Scenes Among the Kafrs" we find the following: "Wel." said Kemp. "when I I go into a country where there is not t mueh water I always take my ha boon." "You don't drink him, do you?' 1 "No, but I make him show we water." "How do you do that? "In this way: When water gets scarce I give the Bavian none. If he does not seem thirsty!I rub a little salt on his tongue. I then take him out with a long string i or chain. At first it was dif~eult to lo make him understand what was want- Ifa ed. for he always wished to go back n to the wagons. Now, however, he is a well trained. When I get him out some distance I let him go. He runs along a bit, scratches himself~, shows a his teeth at me, takes a smell up wind. a looks all round, picks up a bit of grass. ~d sme or eats it. stands up for anotherh sniff. canters on. and so on. Wherever the nearest water is there he is sure to go." _ _ _ The Tyrant In the Field There have been few commanders so tyrannous as Lopez. the dictator of Paraguay, when, in the war of 1S63-70b. it fought single handed the neighbor ing countries of Argentina. Brazil and Uruguay. Lopez. says Mr. W. U. Koe-3 bel in his "Argentina." was wont to carry the theory of victory or death to ,' an uncomfortable point. "dcers 'were executed for mere remarks whose tone fell beneath the standard of confidence that Lopez had set uz' for sibf. One, for instance. was shthaving announced in the V cour; of his duty that the enemy was strongly lz.enched! Another met his end on account of an unguarded speech to the effect that the Para guayan army was accustomed to count the enemy's losses and forget its own."

What the compass is to the mariner the barograph is to the avintor. The arograph is an instrument for meas aring altitudes. The l'ressure of the ir as it increases or decreases causes i delicate needle to trace a wavy line apon a cylinder which revolves by ,lockwork. This line indicates not =nly the exact height that is reached by the aviator, but also the speed at which he is traveling. The barograph Is kept in a weather proof box with a glass front, which is ittached to a bar of the aeroplane or to a rope on the balloon. It is oicial y sealed before the aviator embarks. io there is no possibility of tampering with It. and the seal is taken off in I the presence of witnesses at the end 1. >f the digbL In this wa:y It is possi le to --stablish absolutely and graph lally the altitude which an :viator ttains in his aeroplatie .r balloon. [t is necessary for the aviator to watch the baroraph coustantly. as it Indicates a change 1, th.- elevation al most to the foot. Tbe sk1y ;ilot has to teep his eye on the Indicator much as he man at the wheel of the seazoing ship watches his comp:ssa.

One of the penalties attendant na firing n'ff blg guins k deaIfnvs. S sure is this penalty to be exacted T:. it Is asserted. no man can ;o through a long series of gunnery practice with out having his hearing affected. A stranger on deck who heazs a big gun speak for the first time wi: nut soon forget the stunn!ng report. One gun is cnough to startle a stran ger, but the shattering efect of the wbole aru.-nwont wbcn in acntion to I gether can hardly be co:iceived. The strain upon nerves and senses when the rending concussion takes place is ter rible. There k not a great difference be tween the efect of the big guns and that of the smaller iieces. strange as it may seem. If the visitor places himself beside one of the smaller guns and then listens to the roar of the big one, the sound will not appear much louder than that of the gun by his side. The extra distance to the muzzle of the big piece discounts the sound. The only apparent difference between the two will be that the smaller piece has a sharper. higher pitched tone. and that the big guns speak with a more bellowing roar. If one watches the firing of the gun the crash has not such a startling ef feet as when it comes unexpectedly.

The horse that lowered the French colors was the property of an eccen tric 1rishman narqed Conolly and was z big. bony roan, aot much to look at in the way of horsedesh. so it was a J surprise to everybody but his owner when he came in first. His previous record at the English Derby the preceding year had not been bril liant enough for anybody to lay any large bets on him, with the sole excep tion of Conolly himself, whose faith In his entry was so great that he mort gaged his lands and put every cent on the horse. Up to the very end of the race everybody looked on Conolly as a ruined man. but when the roan shot first under the wire he not only carried the British colors to victory, but won a great fortune for his master. This happened in the time of Napoleon III.. and Conolly was so proud of his tri umph that he insisted on walking ahead of the emperor and empress, cheering and waving his hat.-New York Press.

Carpets and rugs were originally em ployed by oriental nations for sitting. reclining and kneeling purposes during devotioni. When Introduced among the western peoples they were for a long time used for purely ornamental purposes, covers for tables or couches and for laying before altars or chairs of state upon great occasions. Carpets were brought to E--rope by the Movrs, but It was well into the eighteenth century before they camne into any thing like general use. Every Little Movement.
