logical controversy is being fought over

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The United

preventing hostile coll. sion between
Mexico aud Guatemala and the two
countries must settle their dispute with
out further restraint exercised by the

telegram to the Mexican government

viii Not Admit of Arbitration.
The inference is that Guatemala must
either promptly submit to Mexico's
terms of a surrender Of her claims to
lands in dispute on the boundary or
fight. In this state of the case nothing
can be done by our government at pres
ent to avert clash. In case Of actual
hostilities it is recogn ed here that
there can be but one outcome in view OF
the vast numerical superiority and
equipment of the Mexican army, and
if Guatemala should b. joined by other
Central American countries i'll OPPOSE

end would still be the same.

Steam Attachment to Telephone.

Manager Fowler of the Telephone ex.
change, Ashland, Ky, has devised an
ingenious attachment for telephones, to
be used in factories and shops where the
amount of noise makes it almost impos-
sible to hear the call bell of the instru-
ment. 1t consists of steam whistle,
which is turned on by means of lever
operated by magnetism. When the in
strument is called from the exchange
the bell rings as usual, and, by the cleo
trical current passing through a mag
net, weight is released which pulls
the lever to the whistle. Once started,
the whistle keeps up its sirill note I'M
til some one answers the call and turns
off the steam. which is done by simply
replacing the weight. One of these at
tachments is being placed at the local
steel plant, another at the tannery and
several more will probably be installed
in sawmills and similar establishments

Tho Missing Birds.

The bluebirds, yellow birds and black
birds seem to have disappeared from
western New York this year. Reports
from careful ornithologists in many
counties show that these birds have not
appeared this spring as usual. Walter
Burke of Batavia writes: "Whcre are
the blackbirds? These birds in past
years congregatcd in large numbers in q
little grove near my residence and filled
the air with their melodious singing,
but now it is al hushed and still"
The Livingston Republican says
1.-The absence Of bluebirds has been
commented on by several papers, and,
come TO think of it, VIC haven't noticed
any blucbirds or yellow birds either,
but the orioles are flashing through the
foliage i'll considerable numbers and oc-
