BECOMING A sCoURGE.

What might seem strange yet facts
have it that many residences i'll the sub
urbs Of Paris have been abandoned by
the dwellers therein, from all unusual
plague Of flies whose presence in great
swarms have become unbearable. This,
coupled with the insects destroying the
grain crops and vineyards Of France has
awakened the people Of that country to
the danger besettlng them from the de-
structivn OF bird life in that. country at
the behest, of and pay of the miliiners
that the plumage Of the birds might be
in frlvil0us fancy in the decoration OF
wonlans,. hats. Massachusetts and other
eastern States are suffering from like
cause and the. people there are beginning
to realize what the wantOn slaughter of
the birds is meaning-and pests more
direful and far reaching than the dread
ed locust plaques Of bible days are CON-
ing upon us. Here.along the Missouri we
are having our times with pestiferous
tiles yet we are clinging to our houses
but the stock is passing through an or
deal with the muItitudes of sand flies
that are fast becoming scOurge.

VALUE OF LIGN1TE.

Bismarck Tribune: One Of the
benefits of the construction Of the
Washburn road is the develop
ment of the coal industry in the
state. Along the Missouri river,
in northern Burleigh and Nc
Lean counties, there is the finest
quality of Ignite coal in the state.
The supply is inexaustible, and
the tests completed at Faago show
that it is equal, ton for ton, to 81
per cent of the best Youghiogh-
ney coal. This value established,
with railroad operating through
the coal fields, they assume an
Importance to the material intssT-
ests Of the slope that is hardly
realized.
There has always been preju-
dice against Ignite coal, presullln- "
ably for the reason that it wassso
plentiful. But with the eastern
coal supply always lessening, and
prices advancing, it is no insigni-
tcant thing that the northwest
has an inexhaustible supply OF
fuel, answering all the purposes OF
the eastern coal and that can be
used through the state at dollar
ton less, capacity for capacity
The development Of the min
ing industry OF the state has just
begun. with the next depade
remarkable adv ances will havs
been made and a wide market
opened for Ignite coal. Tkes re-

FEW PEOPLE LIVE IN LONDON,
The Night Population of the City
Proper Is Decreasing Very
Rapidly.

London city proper is losing the little
popularity it once enjoyed as place of
residence. In 1861 it had population
of 10000; to-day it has but quarter
of that number. These figures. of
course, represent the night population
OF the city-those who sleep within the
limits of the old city. During the same
time the day population-those who
do business or perform labor in the
city. has increased. In 1866 it was 170,-
1873; in 1891, 301,3S4. Those who have
walked across London bridge about
nine o'clock in the morning do not
need to be told about the vast stream
of humanity which flows cityward at
that hour. But it is almost incredible
that no fewer than 100000 persons
enter the city during single period of
"a hours. The ascertained number for
1891 was 1,1S6,G94, and the succeeding
ten years must have brought the figure
up to 100000. One canont help re-
GREETING that the permanent popula-
ton should have sunk so low. No won
der the numerous and beautiful
churches are so empty. The city is now
little more than congestion of ware
houses and shops. The change is par
ticularly noticeable in such streets as
Bread street, where John Milton was
born and the Mermaid tavern once
fourished. But those were in the days
when the green fields were near and
lsllngton was country suburb.

JUDGE AND HIS DOG.
An English Jurist's Love for AMI
mails Brings Him Into
Ridicule.

II is learned from the English papers
that Baron Brampton, longer and more
familiarly known as Sir Henry Hawk
ms, or as "Old AIRY 'Awkins"-as the
good people of London called him at
times-has just celebrated his eighty
third birthday. There is probably
none of Queen Nictoria's judges, either
on the active or on the retired list, who
knows SO much of the seamy side of
life as does Baron Brampton. He is
the hero of more stories than have
been told of any other occupant of the
judicial bench, living or dead. His con-
slant companion, and most devoted
friend a singularly restless and clever
little terrier, figures in many of these.
For instance, once when the nervous
little animal was dragging his vener-
able master violently along by its
leash, a member of the criminal classes.
who knew both master and dog very
well, indeed, called out loudly: ''Why,
Bill, don't go it so ard, the old 'un ism t
blind!" Lord Brampton's excessive
love for animals on another occasion
| prompted him to interpose when a
| learned counsel had been talking about
"evidence to hang dog" and to ask
what would be sufficient evidence for
that purpose. THAT, M lud," replied
the lawyer, with significance, "would
depend very much on whom the dog
belonged to-"

EVERY METAL NEEDS REST.
Lessen the Durability of
Iron and Steel,

It may sound strangely to hear per-
sons talk about a tired steel AK" or a
"fatigued iron rail-" but that sort of
talk is heard along railways and in ma
chine shops and is considered correct
says the New York Herald. 1.-THE idea
of inanimate metal becoming weary!"
may be your thought, but experts IA
miliar with the ways of machinery say
that work makes it tired and that it
needs rest, as you do.
What caused the axle to break?"
asks the railway superintendent.
Fatigue of the metal" answers the
inspector.
That answer is frequent and often
In accordance with the facts. At times
an axle breaks or rail parts or wheel
separates under much less than the
usual strain and the most careful exam
ination possible will show no defect or
weakness. This leads engineers to
charge fatigue of the metal with the re-
suit.
Sinews of steel can tire as we'll as
muscles of Drawn, and metal that does
not have its rest will cease to do it's
work and may cause great damage. At
least SO the engineers say; and assert
that without rest the affinity of the
molecules of the metal for each other
becomes weakened until the breaking
point Is reached, Than aafnhe e6p opinion, and
say that razors must have a rest or else
you cannot keep an edge on them, and
many men who shave themselves keen
two or more razors so as to make a va
cation for recuperation possible.

ARE EASILY UPSET.
Some People Lose Their Nerve and
Sense When Confronted
by Danger. !.

Il remember once hearing of fell
low who. coming uninjured out Of
railway wreck, worked like demon
to assist his less fortunate fellow-ras-
sengers," said railway official to a
Cincinnati Enquirer reporter. "All ,he
time he was at work, however, he held
one hand to his collar, and, when it Was
over, one of his companions discovered
that he was holding tight 20 his neck
tie, which he had been in the act Of
tying when the collision occurred.
people act very queerly when they
are, or think they are, In Danger.
