A THRIFTY HISTORIAN.

Every newspaper receives countless
requests for free advertising in one
form or another. Very often they are
presented In the guise of news, ana
very many such requests are granted
cheerfully, for there is often news val
ue in announcements which, on Their
face, are advertising. pure and simple.
This applies especially to home af-
fairs. But Notwithstanding, the line
between news and advertising Is very
sharply drawn ms it should and must
be, however much some people hay
ing no interest in the home newspaper,
whatever, and the paper being, there
fore, under not the least oDngation to
them. may suppose to the contrary.
Now there Is a gentleman In East
Orange, n. j., who Is writing fam
fly history and undoubtedly Is anxious
to interest as many people as possible
and sell as many books as possible. 50
ing that many of the descendants Of
John Brockett are residing in your
vicinity and 1t would doubtless he of
interest to quite n number of your
readers If the following should find n
place among your news items"
Mr.. Brockett then appends type
written announcements with prominent
words undcrscorcd as though he ex-
pected a display advertisement and 1t
IS that which he wishes published as II
Nnews item" Minus the display fea-
lures the statement follows:
"Thc descendants of John Brockett,
one of the founders of New Haven
Colony, viii he pleased to learn that
a genealogical record of the Brocketts

tion. Any persons having biographical
sketches, obituaries, marriage notices,
or copies of family records, hi regard
to any of the descendants, may have
the same included by forwarding them

III Il were II well known fact that
many of the descendants of John
Brockctt are residing In this vicinity,
the request of Mr. ~. j. Brockctt, of
East Orange, n. j., would appear more
modest. Az u matter of fact. the name
Brockett does not occur In the city
directory, and II is by no means a
familiar name In Summit county or vi
cinity. If there are descendants OF
John Brockett hcreabout, they are
probably n long way removed from the
trunk OF the family tree Still thu
Democrat hopes that Mr.. 10. j. Brock
ett, OF East Orange N. j., will per
suade great many newspapers tho

BIRD TALK.
Our feathered Friends Have . language Of
Their Own.

Our Feathered Friends Have . Language Of
Their Own.
Experts in bird talk are compare
lively rare, but the Smithsonian insti-
tuition in Washington contains one.
DR.. Nelson R. Wood has made study
OF the conversation OF many kinds
OF feathered creatures. DIR. Wood
believes that the best conversational
lists among birds are found in chickens
and turkeys, these bipeds exceeding
in this accomplishment even the par.
rot and the crow. In an article in the
Chicago Tribune. DR.. Wood says: AS
takers, parrots have q much. higher
reputation than chickens simply be.
cause they are imitators. Barnyard
fowls, though such close companions
of man, do not mimic his speech; but
this does not imply that they have
not a language of their own. On the
contrary, their language is rich, az
any observant person may perceive
for himself in the course OF a brief
visit to quarters occupied by poultry.
Turkeys possess range of speech
hardly less wide than chickens, but
ducks are inferior as takers. Parrots
are born conversationalists, and even
in a wild state they do an immense
deal OF talking. These monkeys of
of the feathered world are mimics
above all else, and in their native for.
ests. where they fly about in great
fiooks, they are constantly initiating
the noises Of the woods and the voices
OF other creatures. But, oddly enough,
the best talking parrot, in confine.
ment, is not necessarily the best imi-
tator. The so-called "double yellow
head" parrot Of tropical America is un.
rivaled for conversation, but as a
mimic it is excelled by the gray Afri-
can bird with the red tail. DR.. Wood
says that q good talking crow is q
much better speaker than parrot. It
is not 90 versatile, the sounds it utters
being less widely differentiated, but
its speech 10 more humanlike. A par
rot's voice has been compared to that
of . crazy person, whereas the re-
marks made by crow in the next
room are readily mistaken for those OF
. human being. As imitators, how.
ever. parrots are unsurpassed, and
their mimicry Of laughing, whistling,
chuckling, and other sounds is often
marvellous"

SAYS EARTH is FLAT,
An Apparently Sensible Man Disputes That the
World Is a Globe.


Rod A. Robertson, who is visiting
the Puget Sound country in the in
terest of Scotch investors, maintains
that the world is not round, but that
1T is circular plane. OF his theory
of the shape of the earth he said re.
recently in Tacoma:
College professors and scientis
have been duping the people long
enough. Every law of nature leads
us to doubt the undetermined
globe theory which has obtained
credence for many years past. They
have forced down our throats the old
theory that the earth is round, when
as a matter of fact it is q circular
plane. The center is the north. Me.
ridians of longitude are the radii from
this center to the circumference,
which is the southern boundary. This
boundary is described by navigators as
the great ice barrier wall of ice
round and round-beyond that outer
darkness.
"The compass and magnetism are
standing proofs of the shape OF the
world. Water is level. The earth has
its foundations in the deep. The
world is established 90 that it cannot
be moved. Parallels of latitude are
the circles round the central north.
Looking to the north to the right is
east, to the left west. All practical
navigation is done by plane triangular
on which can only apply to a level
surface. Sailing due east or west de-
scribes a circle. The sun, moon and
stars are lights to the earth, and given

seasons and make their circuits in the

bears evidence on every high noun.
tain. Fire will finally destroy the
world.
Experiments on the surface OF
standing water have found it every.
where throughout the world horizon
tally level. If it were q globe the sur
face of all standing water would be
convex. II is commonly asserted that
the earth must be q globe because
ships have sailed around it. Ships
taken down one side, then underneath,
and brought up on the other side to
get home again, except in a dream, is
one OF the impossibilies. The earth is
sailed aronnd just as an island is sailed
round"
When the old facts OF q ships top
masts appearing first to view was men,
toned Mr.. Robertson took issue at
once.
"The laws Of vision and perspec.
tive" he said, "are not yet under
stood. Because . ship sailing away
from US becomes apparently hull
down is explained by the fact that it
is lost to our unaided vision. Given o
calm sea and clear atmosphere a
good telescope will restore it to view.
Telescopes do not enable rs to see
through hills OF wator. The laws of
vision or perspective account for the
appearance and disappearance OF ships
at sea. The manner in which objects
appear and disappear is only possible

but expected the man would recover.
Friday afternoon Yoder died. and the

poison. DIR. Heffner believes arsenic
was used, although no bottle or pack
age from which it could have been tax
enswas found. The testimony at the
inquest leaves no doubt as to suicide.
Yoder had offered q brother-in-law

was 80 years of age and was married to
a daughter of Benjamin Roth several
years ago, and moved TO . farm in
Iowa, which they sold q few months
