Liberty Statue Upju.tly nrnlrgned.

At the recent congress of the American
ornithOlOgist's Union, Jonathan Dwight,
Jr., did public service in reading a paper
on "Birds That Have Struck heStatue of
Liberty, Bedloe's Island, New York Har-
bor." Considerable 'uneasiness has been felt
for some time on the subject of the sacrifice
of migratory birds to the Turing brilliancy
of the Liberty and other lights, and many ex-
sggerated statements have been made in the
papers. An alarm, however, is now dissi-
pated BY the fact, which Mr.. Dwight places
on record, that the whole number of birds
killed this year at the Statue of Liberty is
$50, which is considerably less than last
year. OF the dead birds picked up this
year, 60 per cent belonged to one species, the
Maryland yellow-throats

Supplying Cod Air.

A company has just started in New York
City for supplying cold air to the butchers
of Washington market. The supply is
regulated by cock. The air is cooled by
the ammonia system, and its temperature
enables the butchers to dispense with the
ice, into which they formerly put their
meat The innovation is an excellent one
on all accounts; it is more cleanly. more
convenient, and less injurious to the flavor
of the meat than ice. Probably, however,
its principal recommendation is that it will
not SOW the seeds of decomposition and dis
ease, as ice does invariably. more or less.
II is probable that restaurants and saloons,
and possibly summer resorts, in the city will
be supplied with the refrigerated air as soon
Rs the necessary pipes are laid.

Steel super.ediur Wood.

In view of the wholesale deforesting OF
many parts of the country, it is satisfactory
to know that steel is superseding wood in
many industries. OF this one of the latest
illustrations is a steel wheel for a carriage,
and many of the leading carriage manu-
facturers say that it is a matter of oniy
short time when wooden wheels will be
curiosity, as good lumber for wheels is be-
coming SO scarce that its use will, per force,
be abandoned.

The Bufalo i'm Au,rrnIIn.

After the lamentable experience OF this
country, it is interesting to know that there
is part of the world where the buffalo is
not only not dying out but increasing In
numbers. Vast herds OF these animals are
now running wild over certain districts OF
Northern Australia. The animals are said
to be massive and we'll grown, with splendid
horns. The first bufaloes were landed at
Port Essington, North Australia, about the
year 1929,

No Change in the Financial Situation
Heavy Gains Over Last Year.
There was no change in the local financial
situation yesterday. There was good demand
for loans, which were made at SGT per cent,
but checking and depositing were slightly be-
low the average Of the previous days Of the
week. Funds were in sufficient supply. for busi-
ness purposes.
Manager Chaplin issued another very salts
factory Clearing House statement. 1t shows
gam of upward of 81, 100000 over the corre-
spending week of last year. The gain over
November, 1888, is $9,o26.635 g. This shows
that all branches of trade are in a condition Of
prear ACTIVITY. The report in detail follows:

Rlec,rIc shor Hoist.

The electrical ammunition hoist Of Lieu
tenant Fiske, now in operation on board
the Atlanta, is giving great satisfaction:
The apparatus is called into play on all
general quarters calls, and hOists prolec-
tiles weighing $50 pounds from the bottom
of the hatch to the gun deck in ten seconds.
In no instance has the hoist been taken
down or given the slightest trouble. The
introduction of the apparatus was strongly
opposed by several naval officers, but ITS
efficiency has now secured for it unqualiheo
commendation. The hoist is now used on
the Chicago, and is to be put on board all
the new ships.

Luminous Print.

The use Of luminous paint is rapidly
growing in this country. England has
heretofore had the monopoly of luminous
paint, which it has sold at So per pound.
Other countries, however, have entered into
the competition, and Austria is now produc-
ing paint which is placed on the market at
30 cents per pound. 1t is said to be made
from roasted oyster shells and sulphur.

The Hearing of school Children.

The result of the examination of 5000
school children in various cities of America
and Europe is that the average of pupils
who have defective hearing is 26 per cent
There were twice as many with defective
hearing among backward children as among
forward children. Teachers are strongly
urged to keep in mind the liability of exist
ing impairment of hearing in backward
children, and either give them nearer seats,
with their best ear toward the desk, or teach
them in separate classes All boxing of the
ears of children should be stringently pro-
hibited.

The value OF hand-grenades for the ex-

however, no necessity for paying fancy
prices for this useful and indispensable ar

To Prevent Steam on Glass.

A fact which is well worth knowing, es-
pecially in the winter, is that the formation
OF steam on glass is prevented by thin coat
of glycerine on both sides of the glass. This
is very useful knowledge for sailors, and
also for surveyors who have to use their in
struments in foggy weather.

The Freezing PrOceus IN TuuueIIur.

The freezing process is being effectively
used in the cutting of the St. Clair tunnel,
under the Detroit river. Whenever water
is met with, the freezing mixture IS pro-
jected by pipes, and the water and friable
debris become solidifed and, the work
can be proceeded with. The tunneling is
progressing at the rate Of seven feet per day
at each end. The shields are being used, in
the hard blue clay, by digging out the CEN
ter with picks, then pushing them forward
1e inches at time byhydraulic rams.

\ Xenthernrnnf Mortar.

A mortar which, it is claimed, will stand
in all sorts of weather, is made of one bushel
of unslaked lime and three bushels Of sharp
sand, to which is added one pound of alum
mixed with one pint of linseed .oil. The
alum will counteract the action of frost on

1t has been pointed out that although ag-
riculturists the world over have excelled in
numbers and physical strength, they have
generally held subordinate position, often
that of serfs and slaves. To this fact the
American farmer has hitherto been regarded
as an exception. This exception, however,
no longer exists. The farmer has not held
his place in the estimation of the commu-
nifty; his social, financial and political
power is gone, or materially lessened. His
children leave the homestead and crowd the
factory towns and cities. The farmer is
growing poorer. In 1860 the agriculturists
had one-half of the wealth of the country.
They constituted one-half of the population.
Between 1860 and 1880, as the records show,
they added S4, 122, ,5SS 4S1 to their possessions:
But during the same period the other half
OF the population added S2S, ,959, 791 ,S5l, or
five to one to theirs Among the reasons
for this, given by an Eastern agricultural
authority, may be quoted the following:
"In the first place, the farmer here cannot
compete with the farmer in the West. There
is very little grain raised within our borders
now; potatoes don't bring any price; butter
is selling in the dairy districts for IA cents
pound, and other products are equally low.
A few years ago Western butter was not
wanted to-day it has the cream of the trade
in New York City. In few years you will
see the present owners of farms in many in
stances tenants on them"

Portland Cement From Lime Mud.

Portland cement from lime mud, or the
lime waste of alkali works, is the object of
q newly started company in England. The
company owns special patents for the max
ing of Portland cement from caustic-lIme
mud, sugar-lime mud, etc. The process Iu-
wolves the treatment of the mud in such .
manner as to extract the carbonate of lime,
and the use of this product, instead of chalk,
to mix with clay in the manufacture of hy-
draulic cement. According to tests made,
three parts of the lime-mud to one part of
clay, by weight dry, makes an excellent
quality of Portland cement; after % days
test briquettes broke at 440 and 495 pounds
per square inch.

The following is displayed above the desk of
a prominent business man on Grant street:
''Grit makes the most successful men.
The want Of grit the chump;
The men who win are those who can
Lay hold, hang on, and hump"
''Do you carry out this sentiment in your
businessf' he was asked.
81 try to-" was the reply. II think it is the
keynote to success. Energy rules the world.
It is indeed, more valuable than ability alone.
but when both are combined in the same per
son failure is impossible. Lazy men sometimes
succeed, but more by accident than anything
else. Young men in starting out are too much
disposed to trust to what they call luck. This
puts them in q false position and bandicaps
them for life. They should remember thar
there is no excellence without labor. He who
waits for fortune to come to him is almost GER
tain to die poor man. and he ought to. The
greatest difficulties ultimately yield to perse-
vering energy.
"The motto over my des6 embodies prin-
ciplewhich should be deeply impressed,upon the
mind of every young man at the outset of his
business career. 1t points out the only road to
success"
