A card shuffling machine has been
Invented by It. P. Bellows of Cleve-
land. It should make business poor
for crooked card players. The de-
vice is complicated, yet simple its
action.
The shuffling machine is a metal
box about IS inches high,
wide and C inches from front to
back. All the mechanism is inside.
The cards are dropped in at the top
and rest on a tiny shelf. Below
this there are five small fingers, ore
en each of five, thin steel blades ex-
tending across the full width of the
machine. When a shatter on the
front is dropped, the shelf falls
the cards drop upon the blades and
arc separated into live little
bunches by Hie . . The
blades separate, and one by one
cards drop from the various hunches
into a receptacle at the bottom, the
drop being regulated by a clock-
work mechanism.
There is now way of telling where
any particular card will he found
in the pack after they are shuffled.
The same card, placed on the top
of the pack, will rarely be found
twice in the same place after the
Inter Ocean.

Bird.
The kiwi is the sole remnant of
the wonderful race of wingless birds
once roamed all over New Zea-
land, the gigantic skeletons of some
of which have been found in
numbers that almost every museum
in the world possesses one or more
of them.
The kiwi is about the size of a
partridge, has a rather long neck
and a curious bill about four inches
in length. Its wings arc quite
and its feathers have a sort
of unfinished character, which
be supposed to represent natures
in that direction, be-
the dose, rich plumage of the
modern bird was
Wanting the means of flight, the
kiwi has been almost exterminated,
with it also have gone or nearly
gone all the other feathered
of the woods. The invasion of
their haunts by the white man ha
been their destruction.
