The blood record ever made in one week has just been established on the | Pittsburg division of the Pennsylva- | nia. Wednesday morning the south- western express killed two men, a ! freight train killed another man near Johnstown and Conductor George Vance reported that an unknown man | had been ground to pieces in the Ar- | dara tunnel, and that the body of an- | other man who had been run down ad been forwarded to Greensburg. The night before another unknown man was instantly killed east of Greensburg by the Pittsburg limited, and an aged colored man who was picking up coal was killed near the | same place. Andrew Soricin, a for- | eigner, was struck by the day express near Radebaugh and died before he could be taken to the hospital. Yes- terday one of the fast morning trains killed another man who is thought to have jumped from a freight train in | front of the rapidly moving passenger | engine. Shortly after one of the fast trains shot out of the Ardara tunnel | yesterday three men stepped on the | track and came near being ground up; | in fact, nothing could have saved them had it not been for the fact that tha train was moving on a cautionary block and was brought under control by the emergency brake. The engi- | neers of the fast trains are careful men and it almost unnerves them | when they see a human being hurled into space. But they are powerless to avoid such calamities, as the careless track trespassers still walk right to | their doom regardless of every warn- ing. A railroad official in talking about | | the slaughter that is going on yester- | day said that he could see no way to | prevent it, as people weculd persist in | walking on the tracks. He related a conversation between an American and an English railway official while | both were riding on the rear end of a | limited. The Englishman perceived | | some men walking on the tracks and | said: “Why do you allow that?’ “Well,” said the American, “what do | you do with such trespassers?’ “We st them,” sald the Englishman. | “Well, we do worse than that,” said [ the American; “we kill them, and yct we can’t keep them off the tracks.” & Sheep in Spain. In Spain there are some ten million | of migratory sheeep, which every year travel as much as two hundred mile from the ‘delectable mountains where the shepherds feed them till the snows descend. These sheep are known as transhumantes, and their mareh, resting places and behavior are regulated by ancient and special laws and tribunals, dating from the four-\ teenth century. At certain times no | one is allowed to travel on the same | route as the sheep, which have a right! to graze on all open and common land on the way, and for which a road nine- ty yards wide must be left on all in-| | closed and private property. The shep- herds lead the flocks, the sheep follow and the flocks are accompanied by mules carrying provisi and large dogs which act as guards against the wolves. The merino sheep travel four hundred miles to the mountains, and the total time spent on migration there and back is fourteen weeks.— "| The Spectator. a The Age of Birds. Mr. J. H. Gurney, in an article in the Ibis, discusses a number of facts, collected from various books and pa- pers, regarding the age to which birds | live. Mr. r, in his “Birds of Europe,” an instance of a raven having lived sixty-nine years. Mr. Meade-Waldo has in captivity a pair of eagle owls, one of which is sixty-eight and the other fifty-three years old. Since 1864 these birds have bred regu- larly, and have now reared ninety- three young ones. A Batelur eagle and | a condor in the Zoological gardens at | Amsterdam are still alive at the re-| spective ages of fifty-five and fifty-two. An imperial eagle of the age of fifty- | six, a golden eagle of forty-si sea eagle of forty-two, and many other birds of the age of forty downward are also recorded. caen. In cold and cheerless weather a | great concourse of working people gathered on a hill in the outskirts of | Stockholm and listened to their a tors, adopted resolutions and finally adjourned in the midst of a blinding snowstorm.
