by lines ut each angle, the three lines
being joined together about two feet
from the logship. Two of the lines
are securely fixed to the ship, and the
other has bone peg at the end, which,
being pushed into a hole in the ship,
temporarily fastenS it there.
From the point of juncture of the
tree lines a sufficient length IS meas
ured, generally about 100 feet, to take
the logshp we'll clear Of the ships

and is marked with piece of bunting.
From the bunting is measured Al feet

feet 8 inches is measured off and
marked with two knots, then another

The Adrian Telegram in an editorial
short time ago gave good talk on
the subject of automobiles and vehicles
in general, and The TINES considers
the matter so pertinent to affairs in this
vicinity as to be worthy ofreproduction.
The Telegram says that one of the first
things to take into consideration is that
the automobile has come to stay. Like
the bicycle, it is fixture. Horses
scared at the bicycle when it was first
brought out. But their use has become
SO common now that horses never notice
them. The same thing will unquestion-
ably follow with the advent of the au-
tomobile. When the machine is so con-
structed and simplified that any man
with ordinary gumption can handle one
and keep it in good repair their use will
become common. 1t may be necessary
to develop some new methods of power,
but the results will be the same in the
long run.
The bicycle was fought-condemned
by people who drive when it made its
appearance. Horses became frightened
and ran away. Smashups were COM
mon. But the bicycle kept right on
coming. 1t was part of modern civil
zation, and there was no way OF stop
ping its progress. Horses get frighten-
ed at the railway cars, and get frighten-
ed at street cars, they smash things
when they meet traction engine.
But that is a part of the evolution of
the times The world moves, and while
the horse is splendid animal, there are
some fields where he is not swift
enough.
Hence the automobile, and more
scares for horses. And after that, what?
The flying machine probably. But the
evolution is sure and certain, and each
new machine for increasing the speed
of locomotion is sure to make trouble
for horsehesh and scare heads for news
papers. There is no escape, however,
only to get used to the new milestones
in progress as they go whizzing by, for
they have come to stay.

PUPILS IN RIOTS.
Scholars Of Detrolt's Schools Strike
and Commit Criminal Acts.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 23.-The idea
to strike for ones demands has gone
so far as to seize the minds of the pu-
pills of Detroits schools, and not only
this. but they have gone so far as to
ape their elders to the extent that
actual riots have ensued.
The trouble began several days
since, when Eugene c. Whitney, teach
er in the Cass school, was dismissed
by the board of education on minor
charges. But with his pupils he was
fayorite; they considered the charges
unjust and refused to attend school un-
til he was reinstated. This occurred
Monday morning.
The Strike" fever began to spread.
The pupils of Craft school yesterday
became imbued with the idea that
they were putting in more hours than
was necessary and taking some studies
that might as well be cut out, so when
the bell rang yesterday afternoon
about fifty boys and dozen girls from
the rooms of the grades between "B
fifth" and "A eighth" refused to go in
side until things are changed to suit
them. What will satisfy them is a re-
duction of the hours of study from six
to four and a half, the same as the
high school has, and the elimination
of drawing and painting from the cur
riculum.
But the worst came last night and
the residents Of the semi-fashionable
sistrict of Cass park weAe treated to
a wild exhibition of rowdy ism.
Patrolman Charles Palmer was in
jured by a flying brick, fences were
torn down and burned, attempts were
made to burn the fence surrounding
the school, street cars and rigs were
held up and altogether there was one
and half hours of the widest con.
fusion, all carried on by youngsters
between the ages of IL and 20. A mass
meeting was to take place, at which
plans were to be discussed whereby
the desired ends could be gained. But
summary action on the part of the po-
lice put stop to the acts of rowdy-
ism.

The Small Farm.

A western correspondent writes that
the bonanza farms Of Minnesota and
North Dakota are being divided and
subdivided into smaller tracts, Instead
of single farms of from 20, 900 to $4,000
acres the large" farms are coming
down to 5000 or 5000 acres. This ten
dency will be to the great advantage
of the states wherein these farms are
located, and will promote western pros
perity. The bonanza farm is usually
a one-crop farm-all wheat or all corn.
1t is necessary to specialize to get the
most out of it. The smaller farm
means diversity of crops, more pro-
ductive power as the result Of closer
attention, and the ability to support
larger population. Besides these adj
vantages, the smaller farm means an
increased number of families having
has many sizeable farms, though none
attain the bonanza proportions, but
this state is fortunate in having COM
paratively small average acreage in it's
farms The 60-acre farms are much
more numerous than those of 600 acres
and this is a condition that should be
encouraged. 1t is better for the state
and for the people to have many small
farms than few big ones. But then,
every farmer is justified, and it is a
creditable ambition on his part, to
gather in as manv acres as he can
handle to advantage and pay for.

fairs, was in 1900 indicted by an Ing.
ham county grand jury for conspiring
with other state officers to defraud the
state out Of some $4,000 in the famous
military clothing frauds, but acquitted,
and who fled to Mexico one year ago
to dodge warrant charging him with
perjury while testifying in his own

There is a peculiar bird commonly
known as the "kiwi," its scientific
name being Apteryx mantelli. 1t Is the
lowest form Of bird which exists, but
Is so scarce that scientists are happy
to get a specimen in any condition. 1t
is absolutely without wings or tail. It's
legs are short, stubby, but very strong,
and are used by this bird for digging.
The body covering is a cross between
hair and feathers, material which Is
very coarse. They can develop great
speed and make desperate fight when
attacked. Breeding them in captivity
has utterly failed, ard only few mu-
