THAT NEW SURVEY.
Berlin Paper Thinks 1t Was Made by the
Wisconsin Central Railway.

Berlin Faper lninKS II was MaQe by the
Wisconsin Central Railway.
From Stevens Point Journal.
The four Berlin men who were hired
by the surveyors who came to Berlin a
few weeks ago arrived home Thursday
night. says the Berlin Journal, and
one of them was interviewed by a
Journal reporter. The survey termi-
mated at Centralia, on tue Wisconsin
river opposite Grand Rapids, and was
tackled onto the MarShtield & South
eastern, sometimes called the "Sc0tt
road" This man says he is almost
sure the Wisconsin Central is behind
the survey. The head surveyor seemed
to know all the Central men and rode
on a Central pass. The idea appears
to be that the Central want to shorten
their main line and can do it by a
cross cut from Fond du Lac through
Berlin to Grand Rapids, utilizing the
Scott road to MarShtield, thence via
the short line partly in operation
already to Greenwood and On to Chip
pewa Falls. 1t makes almost an air
line from Fond dU Lac to Chippewa.
The fact that the survey just com
pleted struck the Scott road at Cen
tralia is Indicative that the extension
of that road in this direction is con
temTiated and that the St. Paul
company has nothing to do with it.
In fact 4 gentleman in Berlin claims
TO have letter from the ST. Paul
company denying any connection with
this survey just made.

THE CHINESE CHOPSTICk
Useful Device " hich Serves Its Pur
pose with Great Efficiency.

pose WIN Sroht Eftciency.
With the evidence of Asiatic con,
tact supposed to be SO strong In Cen
trail America, one might have imagin-
ed that so useful device as the
simple chopsticks would have secured
footing, These two sticks, held in
one hand, and known In China as
"hasteners or nimble lads" are certain
ly the most useful, the most econom-
ical and the most efficient device for
their purpose ever invented by man.
throughout that vast Asia region, EN-
bracing population of 100000, 900,
the chopstick Is used as u substitute
for fork, tongs and certain forms of
tweezers. Even fish, omelet and cake
are separated with the chopsticks, and
the cook, the street scavenger and the
watch repairer use this device In the
form of iron, long bamboo and deli
cate ivory.
The bamboo chopstick was known
In CHINA 1000 Il. g., and shortly after
this date the ivory form was devised.
Their use Is one Of great antiquity In
Janan, MS attested by references to II
In the ancient records of that country.
One may search in vain for the trace
OF any object In the nature of a chop
stick In Central of South America.
Knitting needles of wood are found In
the work baskets associated with
ancient Peruvian mummies, but the
chOpstick has not been found. Cur
ious pottery rests for the chopsticks
are eXhumed in Japan, but even this
enduring testimony of Its early use
Is yet to be revealed In this country.

WAYS OF CANTON PIRATES.
In China Their business Il Neither Hard
Nor Dangerous.


Probably never since Canton was
open to foreign trade, says Mr.. Consul
Brenan in his report ON the trade of
the city, has piracy been so rife as
during last year. The boldness of the
pirate Is, however. surpassed by the
apathy OF the provincial Government.
Perhaps the word piracy is scarcely
applicable to the acts of these adven-
turous robbers. They have no armed
craft OF their own with which to give
chase and run down thir victims. The
usual plan Is for a band of half a
dozen men to go on board n passenger
launch disguised as honest men. When
suitable spot Is reached they throw
on all disguise. overawe the crew
and passengers by flourishing revol-
vers, and then half the party stand
by ready to shoot while the rest pro-
coed to search the passengers and their
luggage; and when they have taken
all they want they transfer themselves
to another boat or land near a friendly
village, where division OF the spoil
takes place They are not devoid of
certain chivalrOus feeling. Cases
have been known where, after having
robbed some rich passengers and made
n good haul they have restored to the
poorer passengers what had already
been taken from them. On other oc-
casions they have overpowered the
master and crew of n launch and Dor
rowed" the use of the vessel for few

BIRDS SHY OF WINDsToRMs
Tactics They Pursue to Escape Impending
Danger.

The power of the winds ia dreaded
by almost nll ordinary birds, and IN
instructive knowledge seems to be pos
sessed by them that II they once sur
render to the force of the winds un
known dangers will have to be faced
Consequently, when u high storm pre-
walls, all birds seek shelter of some
kind. The strong winged sea birds are
the last to take fright at the approach
Ing hurricane, but even they will final
ly try to escape its fury beneath the
shelter OF some cliff or sand dune
During tremendous windstOrms birds
may sometimes be seen flying overhead
ut II great altitude. When this phc
nOmslOn Is observed II may be taken
for granted that the upper atmosphere
IL comparatively quiet aud that the dis.
turbance IL confined chiefly to the
lower regions. Many sea birds seek
the upper air OF common quietncss dur
ing tropical hurricanes.
When heavy wind or gale springs
up the gulls, terms and pctrels will
fly bnck and forth over the waters

drift gradually with the wind or fly
away to the edge of the hurricane
Very often they get caught uncXpcct-
edly In the gales of wind and they find
themselves In n dangerous position.
Then they struggle with might and
main against the powers of the mir
currents. Knowing that danger and
death face them If they once come
under the dominion of the wind, they
use NIL the strength and tactics they
are capable of to combat the elements.
