A French naturalist is quoted in the
Popular Science News" as asserting that
if the world should become birdless it
would be uninhabitable in nine years
time, because all the sprays and poisons
that could be manufactured could not de-
| stroy the bugs and insects which would
attack orchards and crops.
This may seem rather extreme. but it is
! probably approximately true. OF course.
there is no possibility of the absolute de-
| struction of all birds, because the unciy-
| iiized area of the earth, where the bird
hunters have not yet penetrated, is large
enough to be a breeding place Tor in
Vulnerable feathered creatures; but this
calculation shows that the destruction of
practically all the native songsters through
large section of this country will unques-
tionably !njure the crops and destroy the
farmers chance of making a living. 1t

To the wholly unprecedented eye it is lar
barous. and causes the wearer to appear
as civilized as an Iroquois with a neck

Ting Fang expressed himself rather
strongly not long ago on this subject OF
trimming hats with dead birds, and he evil

FOR RAILROAD MEN.
Successful Work Under the Aus

Christian Association.
VIEWS OF SECRETARY A. N. BRUNER.

Tells of Necessity for Accommodations for
Employees of the Roads Who Are Obliged
to Spend q Portion of Their Time Away
From Home-Remarkable Growth of the
Movement.
A. NJ. Bruner, the genial secretary
of the railroad branch of the Y. NJ. G.
A. for Illinois, the other day talked
to an ARGUS reporter about the
development and prospects of his
branch of the work in this and in
other states. Every railroad man,
and every one else who has given
matters pertaining to railroads and
their management any thought, -"
said MIR. Bruner. recognizes the ne
cessity for accommooations for rail-
road employees who are compelled to
spend a portion of their time off the
road away from home. The Peoria
road here in Rock Island has, within
the past few weeks. provided such
accommodations for the men who re-
side in Peoria, but stop here for a
period during their runs. These
men had formerly slept in cabooses,
in corners of the round house. or
wherever else they could find place.
The company has fitted up comfort
able cottage with beds and a reading
room, and the men repay the outlay
with better service.
There is a rule on most roads for
bidding employees entering saloons on
pain OF dismissal, thus often barring
them out of the only place where
they can find any real comfort. The
plan adopted by the Peoria road here
has been tried by many large roads
on an extensive scale, but all such at
tempts have ultimately failed either
through lack of foresight on the part
of the officials, or want of co operation
on the part of the men. 1t was
only when the work was taken
up by the Y. NJ. Z. A, in whose hands
it properly belongs, that a way out of
the difficulty was found. The reasons
for the success of the latter are two:
The association has had more eXper-
fence along the necessary lines, and
can devote more time to the develop
ment of plans than would be possible
for any set of railroad officials. Then,
the religious element, while seem
ingly so foreign to the makeup of
the average railroad man, is in reality
d SUSTAINING iOt &C.
Not a New Work.
The railroad department is not a
new one. 1t has been in existence
over twenty years, but it is only re-
Gently that its real Importance has
been felt, particularly in the western
and southern states. Such roads as
the New York Central, Grand Trunk,
Wabash, Big Four, and many others,
indorse the system and encourage the
efforts of the association in this direc-
ton. The sum of $50, 900 was ap-
propriated last year out of corpora
ton funds for this purpose. and $780,
600 of it was put into new buildings.
There are nine railroad associations in
this state, and last year witnessed the
erection of large building at Decatur
and the organization of a mem bership
there of $50 men,"
There is an international secretary

in Chicago who works with State Sec
rotary Bruner in the establishment of
new associations. These gentlemen
are kept busy Investigating conditions
and preparing plans for different
points as requested by the officials of
the roads Interested Last year. in
addition to the work done at Decatur.
investigations were conducted at Peo-
ria, Roodhouse and Danville..
At Peoria the work was taken up at
the instance of the Peoria & Pekin
Union company. and plans were SUBJ
mitted for the erection of a building
at Bridge Junction to cost, with
equipment, SIS, 200. At this point
600 men would be benefited, and the
association proposed to raise IS. 900,
asking SO. 900 from the company for
the erection of the building and 81 800
yearly for it's maintenance. At a re-
cent meeting, the stockholders grant
ed all that was asked of them, and
work will commence as soon as posi-
BILE.
At Roodhouse, after looking into
the conditions, at the request of the
Chicago & Alton road, a building
costing IS, 600 was recommended, and
is regarded with great favor by the
officials.
At Danville, where there are l, 200
railroad men, the G. Il Z. l. road
has taken up the matter and &c.
900 building will be recommended.
Raising the Funds.
In cases similar to the above, the
association usually asks the corpora
tion to furnish three-fourths of the
cost of construction, the remainder to
be contribute by the men or raised
by subscription. The cost of main
tenance is largely betrayed by men,
bership fees and moderate room rent,
the balance to be paid from the rail-
road funds. Such institutions are not
as has been shown by
but it has also been proved
that a contribution to their support is
a profitable investment on the part of
the roads, and in no case has such
contribution been discontinued after
having been once begun.
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
road has on its pay rolls in this city
l 200 men, all centrally located with
reference to the yards, and Mr.. Bruner
believes there is probably no place in
the state where branch railroad de-
partment of the Y. NJ. G. A. is more
needed or would be more successful
than here in our own Rock Island.
