Prussia was the reverse of liberal and

The Noisy Birds of the Night.

All the night birds are noisy. They
cannot consort with one another in
happy companies, as do the warblers
and thrushes and finches, and sing and
whisper, but must call loudly and long
to one another in the darkness. On
coasts where petrels and certain other
night hunting sea birds abound, all
day sitting on their eggs or hiding in
burrows, you will hear no sound from
morning till night, but after dark the
air is filed with shrill cries. The loud,
reiterated calling Of the southern
DISQUALIFICATION and of it's northern
cousin is familiar. A whippoorwill
will sound les cry several hundred
times in succession without pause.
Owls boot or utter a harsh sort of
laughter, rarely pleasant to listen to,
and night herons and bitterns squawk
and boom. Sweet songs occasionally
heard in the darkness are those of
wakeful day birds, as the nightingale
or our own oven bird.-Ernest Ingersoll
in Harper's Magazine.

New Electric Motors.

The successful test Of the New York
Central's new electric locomotive in
the recent trial at Schenectady will
doubtless be generally taken as vindi-
eating the position of those who have
been proclaiming the passing of the
steam engine for railway use. An cleo
trio locomotive drawing nine heavy
cars easily developed regular speed
Of sixty miles an hour and a speed Of
seventy miles under forced draft, leav-
track drawn by two of the CentraPs
fastest steam locomotives.
There is little likelihood, however,
that electricity will soon displace
steam for regular service, either pas
senger or freight, unless some inven-
ton shall greatly cheaper the cost Of
transmission of electrical energy over
long distances. From the standpoint
of the railroad owner there Is but one
justification for a change in method
economy in operating expenses. The
steam engine Is ulreCC dctluS Iud-
chine, while any electrical device must
necessarily use double or multiple
transmission before power is obtained
at the motor wheels. There is a great
waste of energy in firing steam loco
motive, but it is not enough to offset
the loss of power in multiple CONVEX
sion and to pay the interest upon the
greater cost of electrical installation.

HOW THE PAPERS GET THE BIG
AMOUNT OF MONEY.
Editor Pascagoula Democrat star.l

Editor Pascagoula Democrat Star.l
On the Wing, August 20, 1904.
have Just been thinking and won
dering how our papers get the big
amount of money they say Is brought
to the State. and at last, have hit
the nail on the head" You know,
the Governor has authority to grant
charters of incorporation and he has
already granted great many. For
instance, few men get together and
agree to start a brick yard. They say
the capital of the company shall not
exceed 800, 900, but that the compa-
nv may begin operation when $4,000
are paid in. Well, this is an Illus
tratiOn how the charters are. There
are several in each county, for differ
ent purposes. Now some enterprlsing
editor gets up what the capital STOCK
is allowed to be in each company and
adds them together and the aggre-
gate is several millions, which the ed
itor says is added to the wealth Of the
State; when, in fact the amount OF
money actually raised to start the
concerns is comparatively small
sum!
Two of the great factors in our
nrosperjty are the railroads and ne
groes. These facts are beyond all
dispute. Take the railroads and mig
gners" out of the State and it will
not be hardly worth living in. How
they have helped to build up the
country And yet, and yet, neither
lean have ''fair hack" before the av-
erage jury of the country. Strange,

is not SO bad as it was few years ago.
still it is bad enough. Look at the
great number of railroad cases that
are reversed by the supreme court and
sent back for new trial. What does
all this prove? That men, not tit tc
serve on juries, do sit on them, or the
railroads are always in the wrong.
