POISONING BIRDS

It is a practice among certain fruit growers in Southern California to poi son the linnets, tanagers and orioles which visit the orchards by giving them fruit or water impregnated with arsenic or strychnine. One man ad- mits having thus poisoned a thousand tanagers in single season, and wo- man who recently visited an orchard where similar slaughter was going on writes that for several minutes it lite rally trained linnets." It has also come to my notice that certain zealous members of the Audubon societies in New England have during the last and other winters been in the habit of kill ine English sperrows with poisoned grain.
 Admitting that it is necessary at times to wage war against any species of animal, we should, I think, adhere to civilized methods of warfare. Folsom ing is uncivilized and degrading; un- worthy of the finer qualities we look for bird and then, when it is driven by hunger to take advantage of our seem ing hospitality, to deliberately kill it by the most despicable method known to man, is not only false and treacherous, but when such methods are employed by members of the Audubon society highly injurious to the cause of bird protecton.-E.

He appeal ed to the police, but again could do nothing, for the extradition laws com tain nothing to cover the kidnapping of the Mexican army.
 While the officer ragged, Robinson, Elkins and l were taken in charge by the railroad men. They took us to the city and kept us safe until the train for the north pulled out.

A Questionable Experiment.

1t is stated that Brooklyn
physician has inoculated a young
woman with tuberculour tissue
from a diseased COW to test the
question whether human beings
can contract consumption from
animals. Board of Health Off
cials say that if he has done this
he is liable to criminal prosecu-
ton.
Physicians are as a rule hostile
to such experiments. In an in
stance reported by the American
Human Association a surgeon in
the Paris Academy of Medicine
operated upon woman for can
Ger. While she was still uncon-
scious he grated a bit of the can
cerous tissue npon another part
OF her body. The experiment
"succeeded;" the woman did de-
velop q new cancer. But when
the doctor described his triumph
to an audience of physicians he
was overwhelmed by storm of
Mortified disapproval. To the
credit of American medical prac-
tice it may be added that only two
such instances have hitherto been
charged against the profession in
America, and these apparently
without convincing proof.
There is no parallel between
this alleged inoculation with con-
sumption and the case of the two
young doctors in Havana who lost
their lives by experimenting with
yellow fever germs upon them
selves. Whether a physician has
the right to take such risks him
self may be doubted; he certainly
has no right to subject a patient
to them, even with the patients
consent.

Railway Ties.

The supply of railway ties is
becoming a matter of increasing
cost to the railways as the forests
are cleared. About $50, ,000,0 900
is now spent annually by the rail
roads of the country for renew.
ing worn out ties, it being es
timated that 112, 100000 new ties
are needed each year. The total
number of ties now in use on the
railroads of the country is cal
culated at 78O,0O0,OO0. This de-
mand is so great and the hereto
fore sources of supply are so
nearly exhausted that the inter
national society of Aboriculture
has undertaken to encourage the
growing of catalpa trees, with
special reference to the need of
crossties for American railways.
White oak, canerack, white cedar,
che ,tnut, pine and redwood,
which have up to this time been
used for ties, are becoming too
costly, if not too scarce, to supply
the demand from this source.
The society suggests that the
catalpa be planted along the right
of way of railroad lines, not only
as a future source of supply, but
as a means of adding to the pleas
ure and comfort of travellers.
Ties from this wood, it is claimed,
will last thirty five years.
The Pennsylvania railway is
making an experiment by ship
ping ties from South America.
These ties are made of Mora
wood, and come from British
Guiana. 1t is claimed for them
that they will last so years, the
timber being exceeding hard and
possessing the quality of durabil-
ity. The present ties last from
three to ten years. The purchas-
ing price alone for each tie of the
Mora wood is 81, and the delivery
price about S1.50. The cost of
the white oak ties, which the
road has been using, is about rs
cents. each. 1t is expected that
the work of laying these ties will
begin about the first of January.

The Mysterious Voice.

1t was warm summer night
and the hour was midnight. The
scene was Madison Square Park,
New York. The policemen on
the four sides of the rectangle
were getting dull with sleepiness.
So one of them said afterward-
the one who tells the story.
Suddenly into the stiffness OF
the night shrill cry projected
itself
"Help! Help! Murder! Muir
der!"
The cry appeared to come from
within the square. And stimuli
taneously the two policemen near
est at hand rushed into the park,
the leather thongs on their night
sticks in place for striking.
"rhey'er killing me! Help.
Help" spurred them on.
The policemen made syste-
attic search of the green area,
ending finally in the centre.
swell, where is it?" asked one.
'"Give it up. I thought twas
here" was the reply.
Keep away! Keep away! Don It
come near mel" cried the shrill
voice.
Slowly and warily the police
men made their way to a bench
a little to the south of the centre,
which seemed to be the spot
whence the voice came. And
there they stood for a moment,
wondering what it meant. Then
from the branches of the maple
overhead awheedling voice said:
"Polly wants a cracker" "
The mystery was solved. 1t
was somebody's parrot, escaped
from its cage, which had played
this joke on two of New York's
cleverest policemen. The bird
remained in the park for day
or so, resisting all efforts to be
captured, and then disappear, d,
having perhaps found it's way
back to it's cage,

A PeaCe-PrOmOting Gun.

A new dynamite gun mounted
at Fishers Island has just with
stood series of exhaustive tests.
1t developed satisfactory accur-
acy at all ranges. 1t threw
shells, each carrying 500 pounds
of nitro gelatin-enough to de-
stroy any ship afoat - 5000
yards. 1t threw six-inch shells,
each carrying 80 pounds of the
dynamite, nearly 5000 yards.
1t proved itself an excellent rapid.
fire gun for smaller projectiles at
the practial fighting range-2,000
yards. Within twelve minutes it
accurately delivered four dyna.
mite shells, each weighing more
than half a ton.
This is probably the most for
midable gun in the world. II
seems to make a naval attack of
any kind upon land Notifications
an impossibility.
Defensive warfare has been
growing steadily,easier and often
sive warfare steadily more diff
cult. This last contribution to
the gratifying tendency of latter
day military development may
prove powerful promoter of the

The chair which President
Mckinley occupied at the ses-
sions Of the cabinet has become
the property of Secretary Cortel-
you. 1t has been the custom for
the retiring president to present
to some friend the chair used by
him while presiding over the
meeting Of the cabinet. Presi
dent Harrison gave his chair to
Executive Clerk Crook, and the
latter regards it as one of his
most valued possessions. Pres
ident Cleveland presented his
chqirsto his private seceratary,
Daniel S. Lamont. There is a
law which requires that govern
ment property shall not be given
away, but that it must be formally
condemned and disposed of at
auction. No one has ever ques-
toned the right of the president
to give away his chair, however.
Secretary Cortelyou was very
anxious to get the chair which his
chief had occupied for so long,
and it was accordingly condem-
ned, put up for sale, and bought
in by the devoted secretary.
