Organization is a most important
factor in the campaign. All depends
on the enlightenment of the people and
the best results can only be secured
by thorough organization. In this con-
nection especial attention is called to
the request of Commander Van Der
WORT for Legion scouts. There should
be an unselfish devotion to the work,
and true patriots should volunteer to
push organization. Write to head
quarters, secure instructions and then
take scout among the people.

destination being Acapulco or some point
on the coast below that port. the line
will cost for the first section $4,000 per
kilometer and will tap coal fields and gold
mining regions.
News from Guatemala today announces
that it is seriously proposed to build a
line from some point on the Guatemaian
Northern road 10 the Mexicon frontier,
where according TO plans forming mere,
the line will be built south from Tehaun-

thus forming standard guage connection

The people of Servia are forever fast

Lent, which lasts seven whole weeks
Then. on the 3Oth of June, is the fast
of ST. Peter. which lasts two weeks,
and is observed by some persons for
four weeks. From the 1st TO the 18th
of August, the fast of St Mary. and
Christmas is preceded by forty days
fast Apart from these lengthy fasts
every Friday and every Wednesday
throughout the year is held 70 be fast
day. Fasting in Servia is no mere
change OF diet; it means real abstinence
and privation. At Prot this fasting
has assumed such serious proportions
as to constitute grave medical prob
lem and a national danger, for it al
fects seriously the health of the popu-
lation, the strength and fighting capa-
bilities of the soldiers. The medical
men reckoned that, on the whole. half
the days in the year were fast days

The discoveries made during the last
few years in the older tertiary deposits
of Patagonia have, however, gradually
brought to light the remains of q
group of most extraordinary gigantic
hightless birds which formerly inhab-
tied that country. and which are SO to-
tally unlike all the modern ratite
, that there can be no reasonable doubt
as to their having originated indie
pendently from flying forms. When
we have once admitted the independent
origin of one group of fightless birds
there appear at first sight no great
reasons why the modern types should
not have had diverging ancestry, al
though there are certain grounds for
regarding them as derived from a
single stock. For knowledge of the
giant fightless birds of Patagonia we
are mainly indebted to the labors of
Senior Florentino Ameghino, of Buenos
Ayres. The first example Of their re-
mains brought to light was a portion
OF lower jaw, and so massive and I'M
bird-like was this bone that it was at
first described as belonging TO gi-
gantic edentate mammal And no
wonder either, for we have not hither-
to been accustomed to deal with birds
whose lower jaw measures about TWEEN
ty-one inches in total length Indeed,
it is even now difficult to convince
English naturalists that the fossilized
extremities of the beaks Of the extraor-
binary birds are avian at all Mr.. Ly-

BIRDS OF GIGANTIC SIZE.

Feathered Monsters That Inhablt MoaA.
tain Regions Of South America
For many years the minds of philo
sophical ornithologists have been much
exercised by the origin and phylogeny
of the existing Eighties ostrich-like
birds and their fossil relatives Not
very long ago, we believe. it was not
an uncommon opinion that all these
rattle birds, as ostriches, rheas, casso-
varies and emus, are collectively
called, were the immediate descend
ants of a certain group Of extinct rep.
tile, and that they themselves gave
origin to the flying birds One circum-
stance is, however. fatal to this hy-
pothesis. Flying birds have the bones
of the fore limb. or wing, constructed
on very peculiar plan, and quite IN
like those of either mammals or rep
tiles. But precisely the same type Of
structure is presented by the rudi-
mentarv wings of such of the ostrich
like birds as possess these appendages
at all; and it is quite clear that If
these birds had been evolved from rep
tiles in the condition we now find
them-that is to say, without the
power of flight-they would have re-
tanned the reptile type of forelimb, aud
would not have an aborted birds
wing. Hence, it is clear that we must
regard the ostriches and their allies as
the descendants of birds endowed with
the power of flight, but whose wings
have become gradually atrophied by
disuse till, as in the emus, they are
extremely minute, or. as in the extinct
moas of New Zealand, have even COM
pletely disappeared So far as the ex-
isting and later tertiary representa-
tives of these giant flightless birds are
concerned, it does not appear that we
have at present any means Of deciding

the world would enter upon a period of
universal peace, happiness and prosper
ity. Philanthropy, he said, was over
done and justice UNDERGONE. America
was not as far advanced as England, Bel

cooperation would take deeper root in
the United States than ever in the old
