Every spring and fall large number? of birds are killed by the Washington monument. The city of Washington seems to be directly in the route taken by many of the migratory birds In the flight between the north and the south, and twice a year thousands of feath ered songsters meet their death by fly ing against the tall marble shaft in the night Just now the fall slaughter is at its height and every morning many birds are to be seen about the base of the monument. The dogs and cats of that part of the city have learned that the base of the monument is a good place to get an early meal in the morn ing without trouble, and many of them are regularly on hand. Most of the birds killed are yellow and black throated warblers and small thrushes. ( Stone Agre picture Gallery. A picture gallery that dates from th stone age has been unearthed in a cav. ern near Eyzies, France. The pictures, which are all of prehistoric animals, were not only cut in the rock, as is usually the ease with such representa tions, but were painted In several co!-i ors and give some evidences of artistic skill. There are eighty pictures,, of which forty-nine represent bisons of various kinds. The pigments used, which are shades of red and brown, have been found on analysis by Mois san, the eminent French chemist, to be ocliers mixed with tuitmto fragments of transparent siiicu.

A Faris detective recently, concealed himself in an empty wine barrel at night to find some explanation of the frequent thefts of wine from the stores at Bercy. As lie. expected, the thieves took him off in his barrel with others holding their proper contents to their headquarters, a disused factory, and so enabled him to get all the information he wanted arid to secure the arrest of the four thieves. ohemia Hiimng (District What an Honest Investiga tion of the Land Shows: t o This season has witnessed great activity in the shape of substantial developments. In all sections of the district work is going ahead with a rush, and the freight and stock trains are kept hustling getting in the supplies and machin ery. New strikes are constantly being made, and rich finds being uncovered. Every section visited is a revela tion, and happy surprises are the ruje. The unparalelled prosperity of the district has caused widespread public attention. Fortunes are realized by fol lowing mining and investments in legitimate mining stocks, and the business men of to-day are realizing this and profiting thereby. Mining is being done on business principles. Im proved machinery, scientific knowledge and business methods place mining on as safe a plane of operation as that of any other business. Many of our citizens have invested in stock in the dis trict this season, and will without doubt reap rich rewards in the future, as stocks, in the solid companies of that district are rapidly advancing. Zbt Biawatba Mining i Willing Co. of Cottage Grove, Ore., Bohemia district, have recently, dur ing development work, struck very rich ore in large quantities and the company has decided to place a stamp mill on the property at a very early date and have placed a block of stock on the market to raise money for that purpose and are selling stock at ten cents per share, which no doubt will be worth at least $1 per share, as soon as dividends are paid, which will be in the near future. Don't wait until this block is sold and then kick yourself because you can't get stock for less than and more per share.
