Philadelphia Press: After all that has
been said and done to stop the destruc-
tlon OF birds for millinery purposes, the
slaughter goes on unchecked, except by
the growing scarcity OF some species
whose feathers are particularly desired
by the hat and bonnet makers. Fash
ion has not been influenced by the Cruz
SADIE against this perniclous custom,
The fall and winter hat designs are gay
with the n0dding plumes which have
cost the lives OF valuable birds. The
anti high-hat agltators have caused the
hats to be removed TO some extent In
the theatres but the offending plumage
has increased rather than diminished
Massachusetts, the pioneer in so
many reforms, undertook to legislate
against the wearing OF feathers. But
the law received judicial construction
which made II ineffective for good, and
It IL now dead letter. Naturalists
everywhere preached and protested
against the feather wearing fashion,
Societies are formed for the express pur-
pose of dlscouraglng the practice.
Many pamphlets have been issued
against It. Many good women have
pledged themselves to wear no feathers
and TO persuade others to do likewise.
The newspaper press OF the country has
supported the efforts of those who want
to save the birds, But, In spite of all
this, the slaughter OF the birds goes on
without dimlnution. Fashion controls.
1t DEGREES that feathers shall be worn
and the protests Of te blrd-lovers are
unavaillng.
The latter do not give up their cause,
however A meeting was held In New
York city yesterday, under the auspices
of the Audubon Society, to klndle II
stronger public sentiment against this
harmful fashion of feather wearing.
Song birds, insect-eatlng birds and
scavenger birds are becoming scarce,
and in some localities have been eXter-
minated by the hunters in the quest of
feathers for the millinery market. The
song birds are sadly missed, and as
nearly all of them are insect-eatlng
birds the insidlous enemies of fruit ana
foliage and tree life are getting dam
gcrous advantage. Vermin have null
tiplled about New orleans because OF
the shooting of the heron, which feeds
upon them. Along the Gulf of Mexico,
in sub-tropical America, there is an IN
crease In human mortality due TO the
destruction OF birds which formerly kept
the beaches and shadows free from de-
caylnE animal matter.
These truths and many more are told
al the meetings and in the publications
of the associations formed to protect the
birds. But the number of women that
heed these admontions are small COM
pared with the mighty host of women
who, IN the contemplation of "a perfect
love of n bonnet" are unmoved by the
information that to create 1t an Eden
was made songless desert. The Audit
hon societies hope to create more
rational sentiment among women on
this point and make the wearing OF
feathers unpopular and unfashlonable
May they succeed. At present the bird
exterminators have nothing to discour,
age them except tho imminencc of bird
determination. Feather-wcarinE Will
surely cease to be fashionable among
women when the hunters can no longer
End any birds TO kill.

Novel Invention by Belgian to Prevent
Railroad Accidents.


A novel automatic train checker, In
vented by a Belgian, has just under
gone a successful test in France, The
trial and the invention are described
BY Henry p, Morris, United States con-
sui at Client, Belgium. In an official
report 10 the department, OF state.
Some little time ago" he says, "the
French state railway gave public
trial of new invention designed to er-
feet automatically the stoppage Of
trains with View 70 preventing coils
ions, grade crossing accidents, etc. The
experiments took place under the dlrec-
ton of the inventor at Beaulleu lie Cen
dray, near Chatres, before many rail-
way engineers and numerous gather
Ing of scientists Those present were
convinced that the apparatus fully sat
istied all claimed for II,
The point chosen for the official eX-
pertinent offers the greatest possible
danger and difficulties, It was on the
single track line between Chatres and
Orleans, at the point OF divergence OF
the branch running to Anneau and i'm
mediately over grade crossing,
There, at a distance Of two hundred
and fifty yards from the station, the
mechanism was placed in position, The
invention consists Of an immense hook,
or catch, made of heat iron, TO which,
while rigid, a certain elasticity is CIV
en-, 1t is fastened to the rails and reg
ulated by wire and lever from the
station. When lying fiat trains pass 1t
readily, but when raised II catches a
lever hanging from the passing loco
motive. The latter lever then auto
matically causes an air valve on the
engine to open and the brakes are i'm
medlately In action. During the trial
the train came to standstill before
reaching the station
Careful calculation has been made
that the hook or catch ON the roadbed
should have at the same time sufficient
suppleness to insure Its action.
another ingenious arrangement con-
meets the grade crossing gate with the
apparatus in such manner that the
former cannot be opened without the
latter being In position, so that an APP
preaching train must necessarily stop
before reaching the crossing, thus avoid
ing all risk OF lniurlng persons passinV
at the time, Further appliances are said
to render the invention equally useful

Paul,s Last Words.

This last letter of st. Paul drops from
his triumphal chariot like EliJahs man
tie, As Timothy received Il, he might
well have cried with admiring regret in
the very words OF Elisha, MY father
my father! Thou chariot Of Israel! Thou
horseman thereof" No doubt Timothy
priced as highly and made as effective
use of the sheepsllln eplstle as Elisha did
of the sheepsllln mantle, Here
is an ideal installation charge to Chris
tan minister. The honor, scope, and
solemn Issues of the passionate are out
lined by IL master hand. Nor was 1t
mere theory of preaching. 1t was the
fruit Of a long experience, unrivaled TO
this day In width and variety. In there
eleven verses whole library OF pastoral
theology Is condensed. 1t Is the preach
er's wade mecum. II any one
imaElnes that the minister's commission
Is a narrow one, let him dwell upon these
comprehensive terms: preach, reprove,
rebuke, eXhprt, watch endure, evanse-
lie. The transition from general
exhortation to his own experience IS nat
ural. He has consciously reached "the
finish" and nstnctvely looks back over
the course, and then turns his eye to the
crown which awaits MIN, 81. He
laments the inhdelity Of his companions,
manifest in their absence at his recent
arrangement. How completely he had
caught the spirit of one to whose death
he consented as an official witness, Is
manifest In his use OF Stephens very
words that It be not laid to their charge.
He rejolces in the stay In his
trial as affording him additional oppor-
tunities of preaching under conspicuous
and impressive auspices, He is
confident also of dellverance from the
evil work of the lapsl Chose who denied
the faith under the pains Of torturc.) As
he fairly hears the gates Of the heavenly
kingdom swing open to receive him, he
reaches true clImactic point in doxol
