Grand totals ........... 227 53,40O 17s. 600

In the foregoing we find that no fewer
than 227 of the more important idle in
dustrial establishments throughout the
country have lighted their fires within
the past eight weeks and furnished
work to more than So. 600 employees.
But entirely aside from this is the show
ing that the wages of fully 49, 900 indus
trial EN- ployees have been advanced since
April 1st. but the full significance OF the
statement is only rendered possible W hen
it is shown that within the last two
months only $4,000 operatives have been
involved by new strikes and that of them
only $1,000 struck for higher wages.
The strength and extent of the voluntary
increase of wages of industrial mployees
is indeed a most encouraging exhibition
of the force OF the underlying conditions
of Improvement of general trade through
out the country.
And yet we are living under the Wilson,
German tariff act. Why do not the or
gans of the Mckinley idea take up these
figures and tell waiting and expectant
not to say long suffering, people the why
OF this return to prosperity?

lALL STREET SPECULATION
There Was Some Realizing and Most OF the
Leading Stocks Show Gains
on the Day

NEW YORK, June 12.--Tradng was
quite active on the stock market today,
but the upward movement was not quite
so general in character as on yesterday.
There was some realizing and the bear
element was more aggressive, but still
most of the leading stocks show gains on
the day. London operated on both sides
of the market, but chiefly as a seller. The
grangers were bought by commission
houses, and good orders for these shares
west. The market opened strong and
moved up a fraction in the early deal
ings. Before long. however, realizing
movement set in and reaction took
place, but before noon values had again
taken an upward turn. During the last
hour the market was irregular but III the
main heavy.
The bond market was strong and AMI
mated, with wide range OF dealings.
The aggregate sales were s., 70s, 600.

The Sight Of Birds.

Birds are commonly credited with all
extraordinary range Of vision. Circum-
stances lend aid to the development Of
the mental factors in their case. The
usual distance at which terrestrial
species use their eyes is limited by the
ground horizon But in the case of the
soaring birds, such as vultures and
eagles, the horizon, the natural limit Of
sight, is enormously extended.
= Macgillivray early noted that though
birds of prey have orbits of great size
the eyeball of tbs common buzzard be-
ing q inches in diameter-they do
not, as a rule, soar when seeking their
p1ey.
The eagle when hunting flies low,
just as do the sparrow hawk and the
henharrier. Yet the vultures and con-
doris, birds which admittedly do soar
when seeking food, have been proved to
find carr ion by sight. A carcass was
covered with canvas and some offal
placed upon it. The vultures saw this,
descended and ate it and then sat on the
covered portion within few inches of
putrld> carcass. When hole was made
in the covering, they saw and attacked
the food below But the rapid congre-
cation Of vultures from distance to a
carcass is probably due to their watch
ing their neighbors, each of which is
surveying limited area. Charles OAR
win pointed out that in a level country
the height of sky commonly noticed by
mounted man is not more than Is
degrees above the horizon, and vulture
on the wing at the height of between
5000 and 1000 feet would probably be
two miles distant and invisible Those
which descend rapidly and appear to
have come from beyond the 1ange Of
human sight were perhaps lowering
vertically over the hunter when he
killed his game. -London Spectator.
Poultry and Eggs.
The poultry and egg crop of the Unit
ed States is estimated to be worth $780,
000, 900 annually. Startling as these
figures may appear, it seems still more
remarkable that, besides the above, we
import between 6O.OO0,O 900 and 100,-
coo, 900 dozen eggs each year.
