ELECTROCUTED BIRDS.
Copper Conductors Make Attractive
Looking Perches. But Prove
Deadly When Utilized.

If birds only knew better they
wouldn't do their love-making on cleo
trio transmission wires. The impru-
dence Of that procedure has been fire.
quently proved. notably last year in the
case of two owls and the two eagles
which were cremated on the lines of
a long-distance transmission circuit in
California. 1t will be remembered that
by strange element of effectiveness
in the action Of the current the owls
were unusually favored, being killed
without the slightest Disagreement
and falling to the ground with hardly
a feather ruflled, while the greater part
OF the two eagles went up in blue
smoke, says the St. Louis Globe~Demc-
crat.
similar fate has befallen pair of
fowls which sought the shelter of a
power house in Canada for their even
ing roost. The power company which
supplies the city of Three Rivers gener-
ates its current 16 miles away and
transmits il 10 the city at pressure of
1900 volts. \ few evenings ago the
city lights suddenly went out. The
lights soon started up again, and there
was no further trouble. The following
day the electrician went on a tour of
inspection. Entering. the substation a
Three Rivers, he noticed in a pro-
nounced form the smell of a badly con-
Quoted restaurant. Looking around, he
found the cause of the previous nights
interruption. a window had been
broken in the station, and through this
two chickens had slipped inside and
roasted on the bare copper conductors.
As Chanticleer kissed Birdie good
night" he completed the circuit, the
lovers were electrocuted, and the lights
were put out.
