A curious story about a falcon is told in "Game Binds and Wild Fowls." A colonel in the English army on a visit to Canada took with him two peregrines. During the voyage across the Atlantic ono was missed, and the owner made up his mind that it was irretrievably lost. • While in Halifax some weeks lat- er, he happened to see in a news- paper a paragraph to the effect that an American schooner, just arrived in port, ha•d on board a, fine hawk that had come on board during the passage from Liverpool. It at once occurred to the colonel that it might be his falcon, and he lost no time in visiting the schooner. The oaptain of the craft was in- clined to doubt his story, but the colonel suggested that his claim to the ownership of the bird be put to is stest. He was to be brought into the presence of the hawk, and if the bird was his he felt sure that it would show signs of recognition that would oonvinw the bystanders that he was its owner. The trial wan agreed upon, and the hawk was brought into the room. The door was hardly opened be- fore it darted for the shoulder of the oolenel, and evinced by every means in its power its delight and. affection. It rubbed its head softly against his cheek, and taking hold of the buttons of his coat, champed them playfully between its mandi- bles. The proof was sufficient, and the bird was promptly given over to the rightful owner. —_r Know More About Electricity. During ten years the output of the electric generating plants has nearly trebled, but the number of accidents has remained the same. An increase would be naturally looked for, but this seems to ineli- eath that many of the accidents of the earlier yews were due W ignor- ance or carelessness, which is now avoided by a greater knowledge of the use of electricity and eleotrical machinery.
