FiTIDAY MORNING, JUNE 15. 188:? BIRDS OF BYGONE AGES. Pigeons as Large cut Ostriches Eggs That Would Bold Several Gallons. From the New York Sun. Prof. Marsh says: "It is now gen erally admitted by biologists who have made a Btndy of vertebrates that the birds have come down to us through the dinosaurs, and the close affinity of the latter with recent struthloua birds will scarcely be questioned." Such are some of these bird-like creatures- that, perhaps twenty feet high, wandered over the shoals of our neigh boring State of Connecticut. Kansas, not a whit behind, produces birds with cluiracterLstics so remarkable that they would hardly be believed iu were not the evidences before us. When first discovered they were thought to be fish js ; .others considered them reptiles, but itr remained for scientific men to prove them actually birds. The backbone is like that in fishes, wliile the jaws are armed with teeth, and their powerful wings and formidable teeth would clear ly seem to indicate a creature capable ot prolonged flight and of a carnivorous nature. The most interesting specimen discovered is the hesperomis. It is a gigantic diver, and the jaw is set with a deep inferior groove, thickly lined with sharp-pointed teeth. The teeth have acute crowns, covered with enamel and supported on stout fanrrs. The ex ternal appearance of the po?maxillanes seems to indicate that these bones were covered with a horny bill, as in modern birds. The wings are rudimentary. Other birds have been found similar to these that were six feet high. But it remains for New Zealand to thoroughly rival Connecticut in its bird production. The gigantic moa comes from there. Descriptions of it seem now like tales of the Arabian Nights, in which the roc figures. They grew to a height of eighteen feet, were wingless, and their bones -were larger than those of an ox. Their strength must have been remarkaWe. Strange to say, the remains of these monsters were found in a cave, which has been called the "cave of birds." Not only these creat ures, but the remains of the Maoris, or ancient inhabitants, were found with them, showing conclusively that the moa is orn! of the few animals that has become extinct within the memory of man. One of the most interesting birds that has become extinct within the memory of man is a monster pigeon, the Didus ineptuSi It was an inhabitant of the Mauritius island, and at th'e time of its discovery, in 1598, it was extremely com mon ; but so effectually has it been eradicated that it is now only represent ed by a few pictures of the seventeenth century, and two heads, a foot, a few feathers, and some of its bones that are scattered about among the museums of continental Europe. From the pictures above mentioned and the descriptions of the early voyagers, it appears that this giant among pigeons was a large, bulky bird, weighing seventy-five pounds. Its bill was long and strong, and the upper part of the mandible was so horny, arched, hooked and ferocious in appear, ance that its discoverers for a long time considered it a ground vulture. Its body terminated in a rounded extremity, be ing destitute of true tail f athers, having E.tuf t of plumes to take the place. Those birds were so frequent that the Dutch seamen destroyed them to obtain the rounded pebbles that were found in their pouches. Ttke extinction of animals is supposed by many writers to have been caused by natural catastrophes, and the ease with which these animals were wiped out of' existence may explain the disap pearance of other forms in the early ter tiary period, in which man, though not proved to have existed, in all likelihood did.' Fifty years ago a large bird, forty inches in length, called the area auk, was occasionally found as far south as Boston, and was quite common in the Arctic - regions. To-day not a single specimen is known to exist in the world, having become totally extinct, but ty what means will always remain an en igma.. From Madagascar we have the re mains of eggs that were found among human implements that were a good lift for two men, and that, after being cut in two, were probably used as ves sels for holding water, their capacity be ing several gallons. The hen. that laid these monster eggs is unknown to -science, but must have been a wonderful spectacle. Two other birds, the soli taire and nazarene. have also become extinct within the traditions of man. The former attained a weight of forty Sve pounds, had feet and beak like a turkey, but in other respects resembled the didus above mentioned. . The naza rene had only three toes, and from its bones we judge that it was thrice as large as the dkras. Imagine a pigeon, or a flock of them, as large as an ostrichi with huge hooked bills, waddling along on short, stumpy legs covered with scales, their bodies ornamented with flaunting plumes, and perhaps an idea of these strange creatures may be realized. SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. Written expressly for the Gazette by a. celebrated Eastern Scientist. It has been ascertained by Mft 6. O. Boutelle that the magnesium light, as used by the U. S. Coast Survey, is an- effective night-signal for distancas as fpeat as- forty -five to seventy miles. Even the ordinary student lamp with a parabolic reflection may be seen as much as forty miles away. Sir Charles W. Dilke, Mr. W. Mattieu Williams and other observers think that a tendency exists among Caucasian races to acquire in America the red Indian type of physiognomy. The change is belived to be due to the dryness of our climate and evi dence is given to show that even a tem porary sojourn in this country may cause Europeans to become thin, lank-jawed ar.d sallow a state which Mr. Williams' son terms "acute Americauites," and which soon disappears after recrossing the At lantic. A comparison of the family por traits at the house of the late George Combe, in Edinburgh, proved to the-satisfaction of all present that the descendants of mem' hers who had emigrated to America a gen eration before displayed a deviation of fea ture from the family type toward that of the best examples of "the noble red man.'' Mr. Combe seems to have shared Mr. Will-ia-ns' opinion that such deviation is general among the descendants of early English settlers. By experimenting upon dogs, rabbits and Guinea pigs, Mods. Poincare has sought to determine whether petroleum vapor is liable to injure persons inhailing much of it. In an atmosphere resembling that breathed by most petroleum-users Guinea pigs lived only from one to two years, but the other ani mals appeared unaffected. He recommends, however, that the vapor be breathed as little as possible, attention being given to ventilation, keeping stock in closed vessels etc. "Do not understand me at'all," said Prof. C. A. Young in a late astronomical lecture, "as saying that there is no mystery about the planets' motion. There is just the one sini.de mystery gravitation and it is a very profound one. How it is that an atom of matter can attract another atom, no mat ter how great the disturbance, no matter what intervening substance there may be; how it will act upon it, or at least behave as if it acteil upon: it, I do not know, I can not tell. Whether they are pushed together by means of an intervening ether, or what is the action, 1 cannot understand. It stands with me along with the fact that when I will that my arm shall rise, it rises It i? iucrutable. All the explanations that have been given of it seem to me merely to darken co ansel with words and no under standing. They do not remove the diffi culty at all. It I were to say what 1 really believe, it would, be that the motions of the I spheres of the material universe stand in some such relation to Him in whom all I things exist, the eyer-present and omnipo- Wlien yon come to town to do business, never patronize a person who does not ad vertise in your county paper; because the adveitiser gains the largest patronage, by the use- of printers ink" and by so doing, he can always sell to you cheaper, than the party can who waits for the customers to happen along and stumble over his place of business before he learns that the dealer has anything for sale. AHvays patronize the raaiv whoadvertises, in your besfrfriend; the county paper. tent Clod, as the motions of my body do to my will I d-i not know how, and never expect to know." Tt has been estimated that at least 5,000 meteoric stones reach the earth annually. These stones are usually of inconsiderable size, but as they have been falling since a very remote pjriod in geological history, the aggregate mas whic'a has thus been added to our planet must be very great. The largest meteoric stone ever found is in the Royal Academy of Stockholm, and weighs twenty-five tons. The museum at Copenhagen contains one of ten tons; the British Museum, one of more than five torn; the museum at St. Petersburg, one of 1380 ponnds; Yole College, one of l('?5 pounds; and the Smithsonian Institution, one of 1400 pounds. Under date of November 7, 1618, the diary of Richard Cocks contains the follow ing entry concerning- the earthquakes of Japan more than two centuries and a half ago: "And, as we returned, about 10 o'clock, hapened a greater earthquake, which caused many people- to run out of their houses. And about the lyke houer the night following hapened an other, this enntrey being much subject to them. And that which is comunely marked, they all- wais hapen at a hie- water (or full sea.) so it is thought it chanseth per reason is much wind blowen into hollow caves underground at a loe water, and the sea flowing in after, and stoping the passage out, canseth these earthquakes, to fynd passage or vent for the wind shut up.." A remarkable mirage is reported to have been seen recently at Sala, Sweden. If it has been correctly described, it showed clearly a sea-shore town in Eastern style with temples and minarets. To the left appeared a forest of cypress trees, while in front was a moving train, and a body of sol diers marched along a. road with their bay onets gleaming in the sun. The apparition lasted nearly an hour, the time being be tween eight and nine o'clock A. M. Mons. de Sesseps states that the evapo rating power of the sun is less on the site of the proposed inland sea of the Sahara than on the Red sea, and he dees not an ticipate that the waters will dry up.
