HIGH SPEED ON ELECTRIC RAIL
WAYS.

In Germany extensive experiments
are being made with electricity as a
motive power on railways. These
for quite awhile, but thus far
have not proven as satisfac-
tory as it was expected they
would. The leading locomotive build
ers and electrical firms of Germany
have been invited to submit designs
electric motors capable of making 100
miles an hour with light loads and 80
miles an hour with ordinary loads.
Apparently more is being done in
Germany than in any other country in
the direction of experiments with cleo
tricity as motive power on
railways. Usually this country leads
in such matters. Electric trains
have made a speed of 100 miles an
hour on the military road between
Berlin and Zossen. This line, however,
is only fourteen miles in length and is
practically free from curves. Besides,
it has no gradients sleeper than one
foot in two hundred feet. On this line
an electric motor attained a speed of
very nearly 100 miles an hour. The
rails gave way, however, and the tests
were then abandoned. The motor car
weighed 80 tons, and was too heavy
for the rails Tes is were made with
lighter motor, and only about sixty
five miles an hour were attained. 1t
is believed that a higher rate of speed
will be attained when a firmer road
bed is constructed.
Much is expected from the electric
road that is to be built between Man
chester and Liverpool. It is expected
that 10 miles an hour will be attained
on it. 1t will be a monorail system,
and it is said that there will be no
apprehension of derailment. 1t is evil
dent that if very high speed is attain
ed by means of electricity the two
rail track will have to be abandoned.
There is no reasonable ground for
doubt that in the course of very few
years electricity will be playing a
much more important part in trans
portation than ct present. Those who
! have studied the subject thoroughly
believe that electric motors can be OPP
Grated at less cost than steam, that
they can be made to do the work done
by locomotives and that by means Of
them greater speed viii be attained
Experiments with the electric motor
are being made all the time in this
and other countries. and some surpris-
ing results may be looked for in the
near future.

PROTECT THE BIRDS.

The Georgia Experiment Station has
issued a bulletin that ought to find its
way quickly into the hands OF every
farmer and member of the Legisla-
ture 1t should be read and digested
in advance Of the approaching meet
ing of the Legislature, since it is an
earnest and conclusive appeal for the
enactment of a bill now pending in
that body and which is Of great i'm
portance to the agricultural interests
Of the state House bill No. 5, for The
protection Of birds and their nests and
eggs, is referred to. II is explained
and discussed in Press Bulletin No 40,
which will be sent free to every per
son making application to the director
of the station for it.
The bulletin sets forth that the in
discriminate and persistent killing Of
native birds has at length so reduced
their number that both injurious in
sects and the seeds of noxious weeds
are now increasing in a ratio greater
than our ability to successfully control
them. InsectiVorous birds are natures
provision for keeping down insect life;
destroy the birds, and the insects must
naturally increase at a rapid rate.
The so-called game birds have re-
ceived some protection from the state,
but the non-game birds, largely out
numbering the game birds and of
vastly more value to the farmers
have no protection whatever. Among
the birds that are most valuable to
the farmer are the dove, the robin.
the lark and the bull-bat. The bull
letin asserts that one dove each feed
ing day Will devour a least 5000 weed
seeds, which means that many pro-
spective Weeds-'lnore than a sixty
cent negro would afterwards uproot
in double the time" This shows the
dove TO be the most efficient hoe
hand" The bull-bat is one of the
most vora cious of insect destroyers.
The part borne by bull-bats in mos
quito destruction is such that a small
flock of them is said to be more effec-
tive in making away with the fever
bearing mosquito and therefore of the
fever itself, than "a case of quinine,
tank of kerosene and an artesian
we'll. And yet the "bull-bat bill was
laughed out of court at the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature.
The foregoing barely touches upon
the salient features of the bulletin,
but it is sufficient to Indicate how i'm
portant is the proposed and much de-
sired law The bulletin asserts that
'it is no exaggeration to claim" that
the enactment of House bill No. 5
would be of more ultimate practi-
cal value to the state than a donation
outright of $2O,OOO,OOO in cash. This
gift it is in the power of the people,
through their representatives to make
10 themselves" That being true, there
ought to be no hesitation on the part
of the coming session to pass the bill
Facetious and smart" young fell
lows in the Legislature should not be
permitted to kill it with -ridicule be-
cause they do not appreciate it's value

Thn Wanderers.


From the chicago Tribune.
"As a bird that VANDERBILT from her
nest, so is a man that VANDERBILT from
his place. Proverbs, vii, 8.
What is the call the wild birds hear,
Too subtle for our ken?
What hail comes to the fallow deer
From distant brake or glen?
Is it the same that soft and clear
Goes out to wandering men?
What is the call that minds the bird
OF it's long vacant nest?
Is it upon the echoes blurred
By vagrant breeze caressed,
Just as the signing, voiceless word
Which tells men Home is best?"
What puts the music in the call
Which comes to them affair
By mountain side or city wall,
Meath pine or deodar-
The music that bids one and all
Turn where the home things are?
None knows the mystic call which
comes
To man and bird and beast
AS Weakening as throbbing drums
When warfare long has ceased
Insistently it sings and thrums
To great ones and the least.
1t may be but rustling tree
Which sings it with it's leaves;
1t may be that the signing sea
The summons softly weaves;
But what and howsoe'er it be
The call each one receives.
1t is the melody divine
The music of the spheres.
That, clear in cadence faint and fine,
Comes sweetly to our ears
A song of infinite design
Through Gods unnumbered years.

When Max O'Rell came to Montreal
some years ago. said man from that
city to a Detroit Journal contributor
I'VE fixed up little joke on him. We
had noticed how gracefully he could
unite caustic criticism with com,
phment, a faculty that enabled him tc
say the sharpest things without offend
ing the people he was criticising. We
were going to put the faculty to a
test.
I'VE had him lunch with US, and
there were at the table beside himself
an Englishman, ScOtchman, an Irish
man and French Canadian. When we
got our guest off his guard we de-
msnded an honest opinion of the diff
ferent races we represented. AS the
opinion had to be given in the presence
of all four the situation for him was
rather delicate one. But it never
seemed to trouble him, and he gave his
opinion without a moments hesitation
The Scotchman' he said, and he
clenched his right hand tightly and
pretended to try and force it open
with his left. The Englishman-
and he went through the same per
Torrance, opening the hand at the end
after AN apparent struggle. The Irish
mani and he held out his hand
wide open, with the palm upwards.
The Frenchman--' and he made q
motion with both hands as if he were
emptying them on the table.
There was not a word of eXplana-
ton, but We all understood thoroughly,
and had a hearty laugh Max O'Rell
had maintained his reputation"

100000 900 OR NOTHING.

The President is disturbed by the re-
ports that there is a probability that
the Colombian Congress, which meets
next Saturday, will reject the Panama
Canal treaty. The situation is this:
The Colombians think they ought to
get the sac, 900, 900 which this country
has agreed to pay the Panama Canal
Company for the canal. The ground
on which they base this view is that
the cession to the Panama Company
expires in 1905. and. besides, the ces-
sion has never been confirmed by Con-
gress-that is the extension of the ces-
sion.
1t is not known, of course, what ac-
ton the Colombian Congress viii take
1t doesn't know itself There isn't
much doubt, however, from the reports
that come from Colombia, that If there
is a chance of getting the $40, 600 900
the Colombian Congress will not ratify
the treaty.
But there is no chance of Colombia
getting the 100000 which the United
States have agreed to pay the French
Company for the canal. Congress au-
thorized the President to pay Colombia
$40, 900. 900 for certain concessions in
connection with the canal and after
nine years $25O,000 a year rent. 1t is
doubtful if Congress would agree to
gay more.
The Colombians don't like the idea of
the papayoo Canal COp1nonxy
$40 900, 900 for the canal and their gov
ernment getting only $4,000, 900 with an
annual rental after nine years They
don't seem to realize that the French
Company has spent a vast sum of
money on the canal.
OF course when the Colombian Con-
gress meets the situation will be ex-
planned to that body, and If 1t then re-
fuses to ratify the treaty that has been
made with this country the probability
is that the President will at once take
steps for the building of a canal on the
Nicaragua route.
What the Colombians want is the
money that is to go to the Panama
Canal Company in the event that the
! United States build the canal on the
I Panama route. That. however. they
will not get. 1t is doubtful if Con-
gress would consent to pay Colombia
more than it has agreed TO pay her
even though there were some ground
for thinking that the title of the Pan
anna Canal Company to the canal is
faulty. As a matter of fact, however
the title of that company has been in
vestigated by experts and pronounced
| perfect.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-16

| 1t would give NJ. Bryan and Mr.. Wat
! terson a great deal of pleasure if Mr..
1 Cleveland were to say, in regard to the
nomination of his party for President,
what he said when approached in re-
gard to the presidency of the Univer-
| sity of Virginia. He is reported as
having said: II should be utterly I'M
able 10 accept such a proposition
Now if he were TO say that under no
circumstances would he accept the
nomination Of his party for President
next year the political situation, as far
as the Democratic party is concerned,
would be d little less complicated.
/ There is no doubt a strong element in
the Democratic party that wants Mr.
Cleveland nominated. Nobody seems
to know whether he wants the nominal
ton or not. Many of his friends be-
lieve he doesn't want IT, but thinks it
advisable not to make that fact
known. BY keeping quiet he may be
able to do more towsrds bringing the
! two wings of the party together than
by announcing that under no circum-
stances would he accept the nominal
ton.
And it may be that he is anxious for
the nomination and would eagerly &C
cept it if it were offered to him In
deed, there are those who believe that
he is actively seeking it and is pulling
the wires TO get it. 1t is but natural
of course that those who do not like
Mr.. Cleveland should say things about
him that are not entirely compliment
tary. Besides, it may be true that ne
wants to lead the party in 1904.
But whatever may be his desire in
the matter there is no probability that
he will be the Democratic nominee for
President. 1t is impossible to think
of a combination of circumstances that
, would bring him out of his retirement
and make him the leader of the party
in the approaching presidential con-
test. He is in sympathy with only one
faction of his party and, as far as the
public now knows, the smallest fac
ton. There is no doubt of course that
he has the respect of the entire party,
| but there is a big faction of it that
would vote for some Other candidate if
he were it's nominee.
1t is doubtful, however. if an an
nouncement from Mr.. Cleveland at
this time would assist in bringing the
two wings of the party together. On
the contrary, the chances are it would
help to keep them apart. AS long as
there is a possibility of the nominal
ton of Mr.. Cleveland the Bryanites
will be more willing to accept a can
didats that has the approval of what
were termed Gold Democrats in the
last presidential campaign. 1t may
be a good thing for the party, there
fore, for Mr. Cleveland to make no an
nouncement as to whether he would
accept the nomination of his party for
President or not. AS a matter of fact
he isn't called on TO say whether or not
he would accept it until questioned
about it by some one having author
ity to do So He did not say that he
would be unable to accept the presi-
dency of the University of Virginia
until the proposition was made to him
by the trustees.
