The great singers Of any age are

In attempting 70 view music from

singers, the best and the poorest. For

one determining factor, intelligent

MEAN MAINE TRAPPERS.
They cntch PRrtridgen In Way That
In Anything hut Credit to
spOrtsmcn.

During the recent heavy fall of soft
snow, the men in the lumber camps
have been feasting on partridge stew,
roasted partridge and partridge cook
ed in many ways. The birds are no
more plentiful in the woods than they
have been for the last ten years. but
the deep snow coming at a time when
food was scarce has enabled the game
butchers to capture a large number
by a disreputable method known as
the bottle trap, says report from
Prentiss, Me.
As soon as the ground becomes
coated with snow, cartridges take to
the evergreen woods from which
they do not emerge except at morn
ing and nightfall, when they spend
an hour gathering buds from birch
trees, and hunting among the dead
limbs for alternating insects.
The pot hunters wait until the
cartridges are very hungry. and then
go out along the warm sides OF south
ern slopes with long-necked bottle,
which they stick into the soft snow,
neck down, and, having turned it
about a few times 10 remove the loose
snow, take il away again, leaving a
hole from ~ To Is inches deep, and
taperng like IA funnel.
Waiting one night for the snow to
freeze and glaze the inside OF the
hole, they strew cracked corn along
the snowy surface, and mako sure that
a number of grains find Judgment in
the very bottom of every hole.
The. next morning when the part
ridges come out TO pick buds aud take
their exercise they find the cracked
corn. and eat IL greedily. As soon
as the grain on the surface snow is
eaten. they begin to explore the holes
and crevices for more. Herein is
wrought their undoing. A hole made
in the snow by a quart bottle is deep
err than "A partridge can reach. The
birds seeing the grain at the bottom,
stretch their necks for a few min
utes, and then fall in head-first. BY
standing on their heads with their
feet in the air they can peck at the
grain, but when they attempt TO climb
out they find nothing uron which to
take hold with their f6et, and they
remain prisoners until they freeze or
die OF starvation.
The traps are visited by hunters
every morning. The game is taken out
and killed and new grain Is placed In
the holes TO catch more partridges.
Old woodsmen say that this method
OF trapping partridge is driving the
cartridges out Of the Maine woods
md that there will be none left in
few years unless the wardcns inter-
fere.

NEW STORAGE BATTERY.
A French Invention Which IL Report
ed 10 surpaSs Edison's In GEN
eraI Efficiency.


A storage battery which Was invent
Cd by Paul Schmitt Is described by
French newspapers. If the current
accounts are correct, the device marks
distinct advance upon all other
lead batteries Ito which class this one
belongs and also upon the Edison
nickel-and-iron accumulators.
The size of the electric charge
which secondary battery is capable
.: holding depends upon the amount
of surface which is exposed 10 chem
zeal action. "A spongy plate is superior
- solid one in this respect Much in
genuity has been devoted to invent
imp methods of preparing lead plates
so as TO secure maximum OF surface
for minimum of weight. Even when
fairly satisfactory way of attaining
that result is found il is possible TO
form the coating Of the oxide i'm such
manner that the fluid in the cell
does not have free access to all of the
microscopic particles constituting the
layer. Mr.. Schmitt declares that the
active mater al may be so compact
that some of the grains or particles of
oxide are practically inaccessible, and
that the compacity of the accumula-
tor is rec uced accordingly That is
10 say i, will not give back as large a
proporttn OF the electric energy put
into il as il should. Perhaps one-third
Of the active material" Is useless.
One of the claims made for the Schmitt
battery is hat each particle of oxide
minimum ON the positive plate, and
litharge on the negative is complete
~ bathed in the fluid and consequently
performs its fun duty.
Another way in which better ratio
between weight and surface has been
sought by the Frenchman is by modi-
tying the architectural pattern OF the
plate. Although the published de-
.tcriptions are little obscure when
hey touch this feature. it appears that
each plate is made Of two rigid, per-
fogated walls between which the OK
idt is confined. II Is alleged that little
metal is here used simply for pur-
poses of support, most OF il serving the
purpose OF conductor.
That system Of construction secures
another important advantage. 1t pre-
vents the particles of active material
from be coming dislodged, settling
down in he cell, establishing short cir
cults between plates Of opposite polar
ity. and lesscning the capacity of the
battery. The fault here mentioned
was formerly common one with lead
batteries; but it has been partially
overcome i'm some OF the modern
forms. If NJ. Schmitt has made fur
ther Improvement in this direction,
he will prolong the life Of his cell. as
well as secure lightness.-N. Y. Trib-
