The Sea Gun i. q p.nef.c.or.

The sea gull is doubly the benefsc-
tor of man. 1t not only follows the
plow ION farms near the sea coast), in
order to eat the freshly-turned grubs,
but it scours the surface of the sea
near the shore and frequents har bors
to seize on floating garbage, dead fish,
or other putrefying norsels. The serv-
ice of these birds have saved many a
seaport town and village, round which
they hover, from plague and pesti-
lence- Yet every year they are massa-
cred by the thousands for idle and
cowardly sport or for the sake of their
wings to be used in millinery. Their
eggs are plundered wholesale for mu-
seums and to fill the shop windows of
naturalists. One man boasted a year
ago that he had killed 1000 kittiwake
gulls in a single season with his own
gun, and an order was given and exc
cuted from one London house for TO-
coo pairs of wings. At this rate gulls
must soon disappear altogether. The
carrion crow, the raven and others
which follow their example, more or
less. confer an immense boon on man
kind. Sparrows clear the cutters and
places which they inhabit from a vast
quantity of scattered fragments.
Though too small TO be seen, these un-
savory morsels would soon become
dangerous to human life and health

evening near Logan, Ia, 2S people
were killed and 81 injured. Many of
the latter will die. Omaha was a city

There are broken homes and bleeding

titled, and the remains of the others
are so badly mutilated that identifica-
tion is hardly possible, all semblance
of humanity being crushed out of the
corpses.
1t took much time to prepare the in
jured for their journey to this city. 1t
was necessary to transport them a con-
siderable distance after their wounds
were dressed. Owing to the umber,
it took still more time for the physi-
clans, even though they worked as
hard and fast as they could, to adjust
the bandages and to tenderly dress the
gaping wounds that caused men, wom-
en- and children to scream in the loud
est tones in their supreme agony.
OF the more seriously injured some
will die, some will hold their beds for
weeks and months, some are in COM
parison but slightly injured. The
wounds range from surface cuts to in
ternal injuries. which must result in
death.
The responsibility for the accident
rests on Engineer Montgomery of the
Inflated excursion train. His orders
were to wait at Logan for the fast mail
and fast freight. He started his train
out Immediately after the mail passed,
forgetting about the freight The
head end collision occurred 20 minutes
later on n curve. The heavy freight
passed partially over the passenger.
All the people killed were in the front
coach of the excursion train.

Good service has at times been rem
dered in cases of riot or mob rule, by
the use of water from a hose pipe.
The very latest and most novel disor-
der queller, however, is the electric
searchlight. A manufacturer in Lam
cashire, England, whose men have
struck, was determined to keep his
mill running and he promptly secured
new hands and set them to work. At
the same time he fixed a searchlight
on the factory buildings, to prevent
the strikers from setting fire to the
sheds erected for the new hands. Dur
ing the continuance of the strike this
light was used nightly, in conjunction
with the police established in the
works, to scour the country and to il
illuminate the part where picl1ets were
placed 1t was found so effective that
a large number of temporary police
were dispensed with.-Argosy.

difficulty is to get that money in cir

terprises which furnish employment TO Amer
