uais However, we are all entitled to our
opinions. but the subsistence of these
schemes so suddenly with the advent of
good times and resumption of power by
the republicans ought to be a matter OF
national notice and a cause for general re-
joicing. 1t would appear to me to indi-
cate that the people Of this country are
homes to lend their attention to matters
and theories which in dull times seem to
turn over and take a firmer bulldog bite
on the public's leg.
these theories is a matter of Individual yo-
lition. Their supporters. however like to
point out the success of the British pos

when it is digested with the cold fact that
our system Is operated at a loss approx

mum, with no signs Of decrease. but evil
dences of increase. and that the govern
ment has lost over e.. SOC, CO., or about $37,-
100000. in the operation of the system.
IF the British government can lose this
large maximum sum in small, compact
territory, thickly populated, what the
United States government would lose
would be a matter of interesting conjec-
ture. Personally, / think Capitalization of
power in the government by the control
of everything Is bad and would appear to
be against what Americans define as their
institutions l suppose, however, that
these doctrines are used mainly at the time
of elections and in the nature of political
clubs to control votes"
Charles Hill was today charged in the
Police Court with assaulting Peter Cooper

proceedings.

and board was called, which ordered the

BIGGEST OF ALL BIRDS.
The Great South American Condor
Weighs Forty Pounds.

"chBub TOuhuss
From the New York World.
The subject of big birds has recently been
discussed by many ornithologists. with a
view to ascertaining which flying bird is
| the largest in the world.
In the New York Geological Gardens is a
specimea of the condor. This huge feath-
cred freak belongs to the family which
produces the largest known bird. Not only
| Is the condor the largest bird that flies. but
in it's fight it goes higher than any other
living creature.
South America produces the largest con-
DORIS Some Of them weigh more than
forty pounds and measure from tip to tip
/ from fifteen to eighteen feet. Their strength
has been noted on more than one occasion
to be more than that of a man.
When Won Humboldt was making obser-
vations In South America near Mount CHM
| borazo he saw condors flying high over the
top of the mountain. Their altitude must
have been not less than 1900 feet.
A remarkable feature in connection with
the flight of the condor consists in its abil-
ity to fly upward without Tapping its wings.
This it does in series Of circles which en-
large the bird wheels upward in a spe-
cies of opening spiral.
The condor has also the power of poising
itself absolutely still in the air. Darwin
observed a condor at great altitude re-
main perfectly still for half an hour. No
movement was observed during this period
though doubtless there must have been
some imperceptible movement.
The next largest bird to the condor is the
harry eagle. found both in South America
and the Philippines. These birds do not
weigh so much as condors and the spread
of wing Is not SO large.
They are far more fierce in their manner
of attack. however, and are more dreaded
by natives.
The South American harry eagles were so
named by Jesuit traveller. who first took
note of thei- predatory character. He re-
called the ancient NEUROLOGICAL tales about
the Greek harpies. which were wont to fly
erything within reach and even carrying or
persons.
The harpy eagle is larger than an other
bird of the eagle class. Its weight and
stretch of wing from tip to tip make 1t
rank the second largest bird that flies.
1t has a spread of wing from eight to
twelve feet.
The harpy eagle is very swift, being cas-
lily able to outstrip the birds upon which st
preys. 1t has also very keen vision. 1t Is
able to see. so those say who have closely
observed it, a white patch no larger than
hens egg on green tree or field two
miles distant.
Next to the harpy eagle In weight, but
not so great in spread of wing, comes the
bustard. <Bustards have been known to
weigh thirty pounds. but their wing spread
Is never more than nine feet. In early days
bustards inhabited the central and north
ern parts of Europe, but they were much
sought after for their delicate flesh.
In Canada the bustard corresponds In .

Our Wonderful SILK Industry.


From Lesle's Weekly.
1t was the current belief only few years
ago that the silk industry could never be
a success In the United States. 1t was
thought that in this line of trade we could
never hope to compete with France and
other European countries. Climatic condi-
lions and other natural causes were SUD-
posed to be against the development of The
silk business here. But facts and figures
now tell a different story. Even the French
trade papers, according to one of our con-
suls in France. concede that the United
States is likely to take the lead among the
silk producers of the world, During the
last three years the consumption of raw
silk in the United States has exceeded that
of France One trade paper says the pro-
dncing power of the United States. has
equaled that of France since 1897. And
American manufacture has a power of ex
pansion that ours does not possess" it
adds. These statements. taken together
with the fact that the use of silk goods and
silk comhina tons is rapidly increasing ev-
erywhere. indicate that the silk industry
has highly promising future in America.
