rhe poet Laurente's" Plea for tho Birds
From The Independent
Iheard the skylark's heav,nward note,
The thrpstle greet tire day.
And watched the white gulls wheel and float
Abort tho hri- hit blue bay;
The kinglct flicker round the rose.
THE wuodp.cker alight
moment where the woodbine blows,
Then ripple out of sight.
And then another sight saw
Tossed pumage. crimson streak,
The shattered wing, the crippled claw.
Mute breast and dropping heak;
And roun this havoc creatures fair,
Not sad but eager now
With the dead spoil to deck their hair
And ornament their brow.
o, tender maiden. trustful wife,
Nurtured in bl IS and Ease,
The selfsame heaven that lent you life
Gave life no less to these.
And when. mid wint"y frcst and rime
To Yule-log hearth you cling,
Remember, in the sweet springtime,
The birds again will sing.
They with their lays your love will thank.
II you will only spare,
And once again to willowy bank
TIL" kinghsher repair.
o, let the tern com lete the nest
Its tenderness begun;
And oriole plume and egret crest

Tho fact is noted in the railroad journals that in
many Of the cities OF Europe tho street railways
now being operated with acomb: of the trolley
and some form of conduit or surface contact system.
Notably, in the city OF Tours. IN France line has
lately been put In operation whore the Diatto stem
of surface contact lie employed within the city limits
achanGs to the trolleys being made on reaching the
suburbs. An improvement in the contact device in
this case is recorded the current being brought into
the by means Of a series of metallic bios KS
arranged at intervals between the rails sliding rail
underneath the car axes contact witt one of these
blocks at a time. the blocks being provided with
electro ghetto contact device b. which each block
IL charged upon the passage OF the contact rail.
This is ELECTED by means OF a conducting piece on
the lower surface Of the block under whic h ia
movable piece OF soft iron, connected with the main
cable by mercury cup. The rail is magnetized by
series Of soenoids, and as it passes the block
tho movable piece Is lifted by the magnetic action,
thus making convict. When the rail passes the
block the movable piece is lifted. making contact
with the contact piece. the current thus passing into
the car-ths side rails and tho wings of soft iron
strengthening the magnetic action.
