The Volcano Bird.

One curious result of the Soufriere's
eruptions has been the loss on the is
land of St. Vincent of the beautiful
bird known as Buildings Amazon par
rot. This bird was formerly found
only on the slopes of the Soufriere
and was called the "volcano bird" by
the inhabitants of the island. It was
driven away by the eruptions of 1918
and sought shelter in other parts of
the Antilles. The great hurricane of
1898 still further reduced it's num-
bers, hardly leaving single bird in
St. Vincent, and now it is feared that
whatever survivors there may have
been were destroyed by the recent
eruptions or have fed from the scene.
Not a bird can be found anywhere
within the range of the volcanoes ac-
tivity. Unlike man, birds and bea SITS did
not risk returning to such danger

way OF controlling and keeping the trusts
within the limits. Let the full light Of day
be turned on all their actions. all their
statements and all their accounts. and pro-
vide either by franchise or license tax
that they shall pay their fair share Of the
burdens Of the people. Our case is some
what different from that Of England or
other countries, and therefore precedents
do not always apply. In England. for in
stance. they have practically free trade.
and there is nothing which the trust wants
from parliament. Here we have a tariff,
and to certain extent it Is used as q
protection for the corporations, and the
great danger to our institutions is that
these great aggregations of wealth may en-
6eavor to control legislation and do things
that smaller bodies would not attempt.
These are pregnant words. They
touch the marrow of the question
treated. Here is another passage
which is full of wise suggestion. Again
we quote:
AFTER ALL this danger must be met. A.
all dangers in the republic must be. and
must be overcome by the virtue Of tho
people. We must. 50 for a. possible. pro-
tect our small land holders. In their hands
is the future Of the republic II you will
read the history Of the empires and re-
publics that have persisted. you will find
that their failure dates from the time
when the lands drdfted into large holdings
and were cultivated by tenants or slaves
So far, therefore, as 1t can be done by leg
islation our small property holders should
be encouraged. and they should be pro-
tected; their burden should be made az
light as possible. and capital should be
made to pay its fair share Of the burdens
OF the state. Large ownership of land
should be discouraged and prevented.
"Our system Of taxation is the cru6est
on the civilized earth, with possibly tho
exception of Turkey and some Of the orr
entail countries. The laws of every state
are different. and by means of this. %rge
aggregations OF capital avoid paying their
share Of the cost of government. We are
just learning that franchise tax is the
easiest collected Of any. and probably one
of the fairest ways Of raising revenue. OF
course, those who manage corporations
will object, as everybody does, to pay
ing taxes, but, nevertheless, 1t is right and
proper. Those that have the protection of
the state should bear their share Of the
burdens"

LEARNING A LANGUAGE.
1t noes Not Require Much Time, II
One Has Patience and Per.
tinacfty.

1T doesn't require any great length
of time to learn language if one has
patience" said man who has mas
tered several languages, according to
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, land
when I hear man regret that he is
unable to speak French or German, or
Spanish or some other language un-
known to him, I cannot conceal my
amusement. In nine cases out OF ten
I might say that the men who express
regret of this sort handle English very
poorly if that happens to be their Ian
guage. The chances are that their vo-
cabularies are extremely limited, and
it would probably surprise them to
know that, despite the advantages of
birth and education, they could not
command more than 600 or 700 words
in English if their lives depended upon
it. Yet they are able to carry on in
telligent conversation and many of
them may become forcible and even
automatic in their sayings, and they
plunge into discussions of literature,
art, music and other subjects of such
fine elegance, and do it rather success
fully, too. Now, how long ought it
to take man to learn 600 or 700 or
even l 1000 words in nay language?
"Certainly it ought not to take any
great length of time, and from my own
experience I know that it does not. OF
course am not speaking now of mas
tering so that one can get the full ben
eft of all the refinements of speech in
a particular tongue. But 1 have in
mind the idea of speaking intelligibly
in a given language and being able to
understand perfectly what is said in
return. I have system which I have
worked out, and it has been of vast
benefit to me, and has enabled me to
learn a number of languages. 1t oc-

the language. My plan was simply
this: made up my mind that would
not retire at the close of any day as
long as was there without learning at
least three words in Spanish, how to
pronounce them and what they meant.
That would give ME 30 words per
month, or something over 1000 in a
years time. I stuck to the task, and
was there nine months. and as a result
of my system was not only able to
converse in Spanish, but I carried on
my correspondence in Spanish. don't
suppose could write an essay in the
language, but I can speake it, write it
and understand it and it was all

KEEPING OUT DISEASE.
4 Government Service Which Keep
Its Finger ON the Pulse Of
Every Nation.

No government undertaking more
distinctly reveals the compactness of
the world to-day than that of the pub
lie health and marine hospital service,
which is under the control of the
treasury department.. So far as cpl.
demic diseases are concerned, its I'm
ger is on the pulse of every nation; its
bulletins each week report the num-
Der of deaths from the great con-
.agious and infectious maladies in
every city of prominence under the
sun. says Youths Companion.
Formerly raging epidemic in q
foreign country had little effect here,
beyond bringing out expressions of
sympathy, and in extreme cases, per.
haps, some material aid. Now, when

Kong. The American consul there,
under systematic instructions, cables
the fact to Washington, and also
passes the word along to his associ.
ates on the Asiatic coast. Washing
ton promptly notifies by wire every
quarantine officer on the Pacific coast
of the United States, and informs
Honolulu by the next steamer. To be
forewarned is to be forearmed, even
when the weapons are disinfectants
and germicides.
One case of yellow fever anywhere

break of the plague in an inaccessible
corner of the orient usually results
in an order to the nearest consul to
make an investigation. In severe cpl.
denies our medical experts are often
sent to the scene to study the bac-
THEOLOGICAL developments of the dis
ease. Such an expert, returning from
Vera Cruz a few months ago, where
he had been studying yellow fever,
was stopped on the boundary line,
curiously enough, by an inspecting Of
ficer of the same service.
Most of the dread diseases against
which the quarantine is directed are
importations. To keep them out on
long coast lines, and with the tide of
immigration constantly pouring in,
is a large task. Although no devices
insure perfect protection, the number
Of cases which now get through the
quarantine mesh is proportionately
very small.

NEW WAY AROUND WORLD.
Francisco Will BE Made with
but One Change of Cars.

Travel from the far east to London
and other European points which has
heretofore sailed from China, Man.
churia, the Philippines and Japan
through the Suez canal, is likely here
after to follow the royal mail, which
it has recently been demonstrated,
can be brought to London through
San Francisco and across the United
States three or four days more quick
ly than via the old route.
The traffic department of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railway has ad-
vices that the Russian ministry of the
interior has arranged with the Inter.
national Sleeping Car company for
new sleeping car service on the Trans
Siberian railway between Moscow
and Port Arthur, to be weekly at first,
triweekly later on, and eventually a
train-de-luxe to be inaugurated be-
tween Warsaw and Port Arthur, leav-
ing Warsaw daily. At Warsaw con-
nection is made with the famous Ex-
press Du Nord from Paris, Berlin and
other European capitals.
Thus Port Arthur will be within
easy reach of Paris, and from Port
Arthur the journey is completed in
fast vessels across the Pacific to San
Francisco and on the new overland
limited via the Southern Pacific,
Union Pacific and Chicago & North
western railways to Chicago.
Intercontinental travel is thus prac-
tically established through what had,
until recently, been supposed to be
the wastes of Siberia; now proven to
include much rich farming country,
which is being rapidly settled. Such
circling of the globe will be delight
full holiday beside which the present
transatlantic journey takes on very
ordinary aspect.
The equipment for the Siberian ex-
press is to be in control of the Inter-
national Sleeping Car company, and
the service will be of the highest char
acter, more nearly approaching the
American standard than is usual on
the continent.
