COCKATOO IS 112 YEARS OLD
Ancient Bird It Somewhat of a t!lar
Though on Verge of the
Grave.
Cockatoos
are
to
well known to lire
patriarchal age, and probably
the
oldest bird in the world whose age
can be traced with eeftainty flour
ished in a well-known hostelry at
Tom Ugly's point, near Sydney,
New South Wales.
When he had feathers enough
He was owned for 80 years by a
well-known master mariner of Syd
ney, who died at the Solomon
islands in 1887, aged eighty-nine.
The bird was presented to the cap
tain when the latter was nine years
of age, and he was then informed
that Cocky was just the 6ame age.
The bird was left as a legacy to a
Mrs. Bennett of Sydney, but she
did not get him until 1891. Since
that period the bird has lived at
George's river, within sight of where
Captain Cook landed and where
"the first fleet" anchored about the
year of his birth.
None of his faculties arc weak
ened, and he is as loquacious as
youngsters of his tribe, who may be
a hundred years younger. In hila
rious moments he will flap his
stumps—you could not call them
wings—and yell, "I'll fly—I'll fly!
By gee, I'll fly!" a palpably menda
cious statement.

ACTIVE WOMAN YOUNO.
The longest-lived men are those
engaged in healthy outdoor occupa
tions, such as farming, simply be
cause they lead an active, muscular
life in the open air.
Bodily activity keeps at bay the
diseases of sedentary middle life.
Gout and rheumatism lie in wait for
the man who does not walk five
miles in a week, who hates games
and believes that golf is a "waste of
time."
It is the active, busy woman who
keeps her complexion when she is
past forty years of age, and girls
twenty years her junior grow sallow
and anr.emic for lack of outdoor ex
ercise.
You must live a sedentary life,
you say? I don't bolieve it. Even
if your day is spent in an office or a
shop, you have the early morning
for a "tub" and 20 minutes with
dumbbells. You have your evenings,
and you have your week-ends*
OLDEST TOWN IN STATES.
Arizona prides herself on having
the oldest town in the United States,
Tucson. Ancient parchments dis
covered in the old mission of San
Xavier, near this town, are claimed
to establish the fact that Tucson
was settled in 1555, and that Mar
cos de Niza, after exploring Arizona
in 1539, made such a glowing report
on the country to Charles I.—suc
cessor to Ferdinand and Isabella—
that that monarch sent out the col
ony whose descendants were found
at Tucson by missionaries more than
a ccntury Inter. This find enlisted
Tucson in a controversy with New
Mexico's capital, Santa Pe, whose
claim to being the oldest town on
this continent lias long been diapuU
ed by St. Augustine, Fla.

FROGS IN SUPREME COURT
Tribunal at Leiptic Rules That Their

An
who comes
from
North Dakota, is visiting on
his
uncommon case was lately
fought before the German tribunals
right up to the supreme court in
Leipsic.
Two neighbors lived for a long
time in close friendship until one
of them had an artificial pond con
structed in his garden. After a
time a number of frogs appeared in
the pond, and their croaking was so
loud and continuous as to deprive
the neighboring family of its night
ly rest.
The disturbed family objected
and relying on a law which forbids
anyone from diminishing the value
of another's property, requested the
pond owner to make arrangements
for keeping the frogs within bounds.
The pond owner replied that he
was not to blame for the musical
activity of the frogs, which he had
not placed in the pond.
The first tribunal upheld the
pond owner on the ground that the
frogs were a dispensation of nature
which must be put up with like the
sun and rain. The judgment was
upset by the next higher tribunal
and the decision of the latter was
affirmed by the supreme court.
The supreme court reasoned that
whoever made a pond had to reckon
with the subsequent appearance of
frogs, and that the noise emitted by
them constituted injury to neighbor
ing property.
NEW TYPE OF WAR BALLOON
Zorn Veseel le Made in Three Parte,
Separated and United at
Pleasure.
Count Frederick *on Moltke,
nephew of the great field marshal,
has formed a company to construct
a fleet of airships especially de
signed for military purposes. The
government has promised to assist
the enterprise as soon as a trial diri
gible has been finished and tested.
The vessels will be capable of
carrying light guns and a quantity
of explosives. The type chosen is a
peculiar triple Zorn balloon, which
within a single framework of Cana
dian fir contains really three motor
balloons, each with its own motor,
and each detachable in two minutes,
together with its own share of the
framework.
Thus, on arrival over the enemy,
the front balloon can be quickly de
tached to take back to headquarters
any dispatches, photographs, etc.
the rear balloon can follow with
Jafcr news, while the middle part re
mains to take part in the light and
drop bombs over the enemy. All
three parts can be put together
again rapidly.
The whole construction is 360
feet long. The effective lifting pow
er after deduction of the airship's
own weight and the weight of the
cars and machinery is 11,000
pounds. The entire framework can
be quickly dismounted in sections.
Each part of the triple balloon can
also be anchored separately.
LOVE THAT FAILED.
For ten long but blissful years
ihey had walked along the path of
love but as yet the lovesick youth
had never mentioned about their
getting married. Courtship is very
charming, but when there does not
seem to be altar-rails at the end of
it girls naturally begin to lose inter
est in the game. Anyhow, Jane
thought it time that the marriage
day was fixed, so she threw out
gentle hint to her lover by way of
encouraging him. That, she thought,
was all the dear fellow wanted.
•"Nathaniel," she whispered, coy
ly, "they're saying we're going to be
married soon."
"Are they, though" answered the
stolid swain. "What a jolly sell it'll
be for them when they learn we
ain't."
