This may be a fitting place to
glance at the instinct OF fear in birds.
Mr.. Hudson does not accept without
more than the proverbiaI grain Of
salt the Darwinian theory that birds
instinctiyely fear man, and that the
instinct is hereditary. We note in
this matter, as in many others, Mr..
Hudson's capacity for looking at
things as they exist, and his unwiil-
ingness to square unusual or eXcep-
tional phenomena with preconceived
ideas and ready-made theories. even
when widely accepted by eminent
scientists. He boldly faces the in
eXplicable, and has no fear of being
declared unorthodoX He objects
to Darwin's theory on the ground
that the growth of an hereditary in
stinct of fear would require more
time than the theory provides for.
"Instincts practically endure forever,
and are not presumably acquired with
such extraordinary facility" Shy
ness in birds, he thinks, is the result
q persecution, and young birds learn
the habit from their parents. This
persecution is not necessarily perSe-
cution by man: it may be by other
birds. Mr.. Hudson often found birds
in the desert, to whom the human
form was almost unknown. shyer than
in the vicinity of human dwellings.
Young domestic birds are tanner than
old ones, evincing little if any in
its root in the strangeness of an OBJ
ject, or in experience of mans de-
structive power; confidence springs
out of familiarity, and experience OF
mans kindness. Fear Of man is an
associated feeling. London Quar-

Paper Bicycle Tires.

Paper tires for bicycles are pro-

of drawing out paper tube, whether

a bicycle wheel or something smaller,
is an old one. In this new applica-
ton, however, the uniting of the two
en6s is effected by new and simple
method, one end being enlarged and
shaved off on the interior for several
inches, while the other end is shaved
off on its exterior and put into the
other half, and n special adhering

instrument being used so that the
packing is uniform. While the life
of rubber tire is two seasons, as
many as five are claimed for those
made of paper. 1t is argued, too,
that thousands of bicycles which are
now supplied with hard or cushioned
tires because of the expense of pneu-
matte, and which would be fitted
with pneumatics if q cheap and du-
rable one were available, will find the

That ARMOR PLATE
Who Was Responsible for
Its Imperfection?

PITTsBURG March 7. - Theories are
abundant but facts are scarce con-
cerning the mysterious points in the sup
posed conspiracy by which the Carnegie
SieeI company, limited, was compelled to
pay over Sl4O, ,4S4. 81 to the government.
III Is quietly intimated to-day that the
real sensation in connection with the con-
spiracy Is yet to come and may develop
very soon. A suggestion of its import
ance can be deducted from a statement
made by man whose business takes him
into the armor plate department at
IL mestead from 8 o'clock in the morning
until o'clocll in the evening. He states
that 1t would be impossible for employees
OIL the company to cause defective armor
plate to be shipped without the aid of
higher officials either of the company or
the government, He said that the gov
ernment inspectors saw the armor plates
every day and made record of them.
These records are filed. When plate is
finished its complete record through
every process is forwarded to the govern
ment at the time it is shipped. He
claimed tn 1t there would be no way to
deceive the government unless such de-
ception was courted. The informant also
states that it is equally impossible for an
unauthorized person to secure or use the
government seal with which each ap-
proved plate is stamped.
About the works at Homestead, the
idea of conspiracy is secuted by those
who know the amount of red tape each
plate must go through during its manu-
facture.
One of the men supposed to have been
in the conspiracy is said to be still at
work in the armor plate department. Tne
friends OF the men who furnished inior-
nation to the government are exceedingly
wroth yer the imputations of co, spiracy
laid upon them in the recent publications.
1t is not denied that f. B. Perry, Il iward
Sill, Dennis Riley and T. h James, until
recently employees of the Carnegie Steel
company, have received mon " from the
United States government for their SER
vices in furnishing the information re ~
tive to the quality of the armcr plate
delivered to the naval department. Tne
assertion that the persons mentioned were
in any way responsible for the shipment
OF elective plate is. however, emphati-
cally denied, and it is pointed out that it
would have been impossible for them to
have entered into such "a conspiracy or
exercised any control over the manufac-
ture or shipment of armor plate. As to
the division of the $35, 600 reward, James
has told some friends that he received
a 400 as his share and that Perry. Sill
and Riley received similar sums H. b.
Williams, an engineer, and man named
Gregg, employed in the heating depart
ment, received 1900 and 5000 respec-
lively. Five others, whose names are
unknown, were also given sums ranging
from $50 to $3.50.

RECOVERED HER NURSING BABE
The Father Forced by the Courts to
Temporarily Surrender 1t.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March There

John E. Buckley, an Ansonia letter car

months-old baby on writ of habeas cor
pus to show why the child, which is still
nursing, should not be given to its
mother. Mrs. Buckley, who is a hand.
some refined young woman, was in court
also. She had been compelled to leave
her husband because of his alleged brutal
treatment. He took the baby and re-
fused to allow the mother to see it until
compelled to by the court, Buckley is
said to be of Incorporate habits AS soon
as the child saw its mother it stretched
out its arms and began wailing. This
brought tears to the eyes of several of the
court attaches and Judge Hotchkiss inn
mediately ordered Buckley to deliver the
baby to its mother pending the hearing
The judge continued the hearing unit
Monday, the mother being given the Gus
tody of the child till that time.

TARIFFS HARD ROAD
Hill Brings the Subject Up
in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March IA preliminary
but highly instru ctive discussion on the
subject of the tariff bill, and the decays
in reporting it, was precipIlated IN the
senate by "A question Of privilege, thaI
first. in order of time came resolution
offered by Mr. Hill dem, n. " with
preamble asserting that by treasury
statement there was a deficit of SIS, OOO,-
900 for the current fiscal year, and that
in addition to such deficit the Wilson
tariff bill discarded 5000, 600 of revenue,
and instructing the finance committee to
frame amendments to the bill that would
omit the internal and direct taxes ana
provide a sufficient revenue by placing
tariff on other foreign imports and other
wise revising the tariff without creating
a deficiency. The resolution was, at ME-
Mills request, laid on the table Tor the
present, to be called up by him probably
very soon. Senator Berry, of Arkansas,
com planned Of an article in New York
newspaper which mentioned him and
other dem mocratic senators as interposing
delays to the reporting of the tariff bill.

that he had urged the finance committee

defy the men who had been delaying it,

son, Of Iowa, protested against that com
mite being 'gibbetted on the cross roads
of public opinion for it's delay, and de-
cared his intention to have the bill con-
sidered in committee in every paragraph
and every item, adding that it was not to
be railroaded either through the commit
tee or through the senate. The seignior-
age bill, which was nominally before the
senate during the whole of this discus
sion, went over till to-day, when it will
again be presented for its second reading
