The St. Mary's and the Saratoga are two of the three American schoolships on the Atlantic coast intended exclu sively for nautical schools to train boys for the merchant marine. The Saratoga is controlled by the state of Pennsyl vania and the state of Massachusetts controls the Enterprise; but the St. Mary's is maintained by the board of education of the city of New York. The nautical school on the St. Mary's is un der the supervision of the United States -that is to say, the captain is a detailed officer of the United States navy. The school is intended for boys who in SCHOOL SHIP ST. MARY'S. tend to learn navigation and seaman ship, combined with a high school course of studies, so that they may be fitted to engage as officers in the merchant marine service. After a student has completed two cruises and passed his examination he receives a certificate of graduation, which qualifies him to fill the position of quartermaster or Junior officer on the great transatlantic steamship lines.--St. Nicholas. Rooster Killed by LAlhtalra. The popular idea that feathers are a nonconductor of electricity, laboring under which delusion many people scary about lightning climb under feath er beds, even in summer, was exploded in a very remarkable manner during a heavy thunderstorm at Chambers burg, Pa. While the storm was at its worst a bolt of lightning struck the cen ter of the public square and landed on a rooster, which was running across the opening. It hit him square on the head, and, of course, killed him instant ly, and also burned all the feathers off his back and sides. Jealous.

A Beautiful ]grd Which Usamllt stands on One Leg and Tucks the Other Up Oat of Sight. Flamingoes in full plumage are most gorgeous birds, for their top feathers are almost scarlet, some of those on the wing are jet black and underneath some are white. A full-grown bird is often from five to six feet in height. When they are flying they stretch out their long necks and legs as far as possible, which makes them look very funny. This particular kind that you see here comes from the south of RUDDY FLAMINGOES. e France and Spain. They make a noise - very like geese. And they build themselves curious nests of mud and earth scraped together so as to form a small hillock with a hole on the top. Sometimes the hillock is as much as 23 or 24 inches high. In the countries where they are found they go about in flocks of 300 or 400 to gether. When they are feeding senti nel flamingoes stand at each end of the flock to give notice of any approach ing danger. These sentinels don't at tempt to eat till the others have fin ished, but stand with necks erect and heads constantly turning, always keep ing a sharp lookout. When flying they form themselves into bands, each band evidently being under the command of a leader, and in spite of their long necks and legs they are wonderfully graceful. Like lots of other long-legged birds, I- flamingoes love to stand on one leg and ie tuck the other up out of sight.-Phila d delphia Globe.
