An Atlantic City resident recently burled a pet canary, in a style seldom accorded either bird or beast The little body was placed in a silk lined metallic coffin. Then a burial service was read over the bird, setting forth how the songster had brought happiness1 and good cheer into the home of the owner through the influence of his silvery notes. There wereears shed at the funeral and at the JJttle grave. A complacent sort of "an attendant at the obsequies was the family cat, who listened to the solemn words and watched the little bundle of feathers as he ruminatively stroked his whiskers. He had been the death of the canary and would have had it eaten after his first spring brought it down to the floor had not the owner 5 A Cincinnati woman not long ago buried her pet poll parrot with unique honors.

She had had the bird, who was a great- talker, speak into a graphophone, and although to visitors the result was nothing but a lot of squawkings the owner insisted that it was a faithful reproduction of the affectionate words uttered now and then by the parrot. At the funeral of the bird the woman had this record put in the graphophone and turned out to several listeners called in to take part in the dbsequiesi Then the record was placed alongside 'tha bird's body and buried with it, 'for the owner declared she could never bear to hear her pet's voice again if. she could not see the bird in the flesh. In Philadelphia some time ago a boy who had a pet squirrel prevailed upon his father to hnrv thf cntlro nf the squirrel, running wheel and all, I when the little animal was put in the ground. Aeroplane Shaped Like An atriflcial' bird built by a French Inventor, which has recently been subjected to' practical tests, apparently solves what has been one of the hardest problems in connection with heavi-er-than-air flying machines, that of inherent stability.

7 This device is a small model of an aeroplane, with body and wings shaped exactly like those of a bird, and, from reports of the tests, it represents the biggest step forward since the Wright brothers first invented the aeroplane. This model is the result of years of inveetigation of the mechanics of bird flight, and, in particular, of the shape of the body and wings of soaring birds, the object being to develop typ: of aeroplane that would automatically right itself and maintain its balance in varying air currents without the use of stabilizing devices of any kind and without the necessity of any 'attention from the airman. If the full-sized machines work out a successfully as this model, it means' that fone 1 the greatest 'dangers "in aviatfdn has been practically eliminated-: With an aeroplane of this type the -airman would be free to devote all his attention to steering and running his as there would be no necessity, for warping the wings or changing the jwsltion of the ailerons to maintain his balance, as at present. Popular Mechanics Magazine. Darwin on Marriage.

A newspaper correspondent recalls the following early advocacy of eugenic marriages from Darwin's "Descent of "Man scans with scrupulous care the character and pedigree of his horses, cattle and dogs before he matches them; but when it comes to his own marriage he rarely or never takes any such care. He is impelled by "nearly the same motives as the lower animals when they are left to their own free choice, though he is in so far superior. to them that he highly values mental charms and virtues. On fhe other hand, he is strongly attracted by mere wealth or rank. Yet he might by selection do something not only for the bodily constitution and frame of his offspring, but for their intellectual and moral qualities.

Both sexes ought to refrain from marriage if they are in ny marked degree inferior in body or mind but such hopes are Utopian and will never be even partially realized until the laws of inheritance are thoroughly known. Everyone does good service who aids toward this end." New York Evening Post. New Tribe In New Guinea. Having returned to England after an expedition- into the heart of New Guinea, Rev. Cecil Hall, formerly of Jamaica, described to a reporter some of his discoveries in a hitherto unexplored country.

"After several days journey," he said, "I came into the region of the cannibal tribes, who seemed very fierce. -Particularly was this the case with the Ki-ki tribe, who make a practice of preserving their enemies heads. After this we came to mountain slopes, and after climbing some dis-tance--we estimated it at about three thousand feet-we came upon a tribe, the men- of which were more fully clad than, the ordinary native of the while the women were completely clothed, in a texture woven from cocoanut fiber." Mr. Hall added that the completely clad tribe was found about three hundred miles inland from Monorki. No one in the lowlands knew of their existence.

Miser's Unsuspected Hoard. A dead miser's hoard was found secreted in a wall in an old cottage at Pembroke. Dock, South Wales, recently. When workmen were repairing the cottage they discovered bank notes and gold amounting in actual value to about $5,000. The cottage was last occupied by David Nicholas, a retired farmer and teamsman, who died some time ago.

He lived alone, and was ia receipt of parochial relief. About That Gordion Knot. The Gordion knot is said to have been made of thongs used as harness to the wagon of Gordion, a husband-, man, afterwards King of Phrygla. Whosoever locked the knot, the ends of which were hidden, the oracle said, should be ruler of Persia. Alexander the Great cut away the knot with his sword until he found the ends of.lt, and thus, in a military sense, interpreted the oracle.

H4s Biblical Knowledge Slight. Whatever qualifications the newly-elected judge possessed, Biblical knowledge was not his most conspicuous. An attorney went to his court to plead for a girl who was to be sent to the juvenile court for a misdeed. "This is the litle girl's first ofTense," pleaded the attorney, "and I don't think she ought to be punished. Even Mary Magdalen was pardoned." 1 "Mary Magdalen," said the judge, "I don't remember that case.
