Will Start SeauuII Farm.

From the Portland Oregoniar: TIL.
thousands Of seagulls which nave been
making themselves at home in the east
ern part Of this city and on the water
front for the past month or more show
no signs Of returning to their accustom-
ed haunts along the coast.
An old retired whaler, who lives by
the Ladd tract, where the gulls most
do congregate to hunt for earthworms,
etc, has an idea Of capturing and con-
filming a lot Of them and keeping them
to produce eggs for market. He had
visited the arctic regions on both this
| coast and the east coast, and has seen
whole ~schoonerloads Of eggs Of gulls
and other seagoing birds gathered
| about Labrador, in the Farallone ISL
| ands and on the coast Of Alaska and
sent to market. He has many q time
Toasted on omelet Of gulls' eggs, which
find ready sale in many markets. He
says they are not SO delicate as hens
eggs, having a slight tinge Of a fishy
taste, but they are wholesome and
nutritious and are much better thar
no eggs at all, which of late has formed
a part Of his breakfast very often. He
believes that if the gulls were kept
here IN confinement awhile AND proper
ly fed their eggs would be as good as
hens eggs and much larger. Gulls are
great producers Of eggs, as he has seen
miles of land and rocks covered with
them. He proposes to fence in a piece
Of land along the slough, including a
section Of the slough, and to confine
there as many gulls as he can procure
and imagines that in a little while they
will become tame and can be treated
the same as barnyard fowls.

Another negro town Is Wybark, located

Impressions of High Speed.

Henry s. Prlchett, in "a Hundred Miles
an Hour in March McClure's: I made
two trips in each car over the fourteen
miles Of track. At the end of the first
mile the car was going 10 miles an hour;
at the end of the second mile between 80
and 100. In fact, my interest was so
aroused by the rapidity with which the
speed Indicator had kept jumping up, that
we were running a hundred miles an hour
before I thought to look out Of the win
dow. When l did l was disappointed. II
was evident we were travelling at tt
mondous speed, but the car was very
steady, and there was nothing exciting.
The sensation was about the same as that
which a passenger on the Lake Shore
| road gets when the train Is running 70
| miles an hour. Later. as l stood by the
side of the motorneer. or with the brake-
man. at the rear, the sensation was far
more vivid.
Standing Just behind the motor wheel
in the front Of the car, one liz far nearer
the track than he is when in a steam
engine; and the frIghtful rate at which
the track Is being devoured Is more evil
dent. The impact of flies, bees and even
birds upon the curved glass front of the
car serves to %heighten the effect. I must
confess that I held my breath as l saw
the curve come in sight. Apparently the
track ended, and the car seemed directed
straight into the air at a speed sufflcien1
to SEM 1t flying over into the German
ocean. AS it glided smoothly round thu
curve the sensation was something Tx
that which one has in an expires elevator
in one Of our American skyscrapers whei
he Is dropped from the fifteenth floor
and is not quite sure whether he will
stop at the basement or 60 straigh
thrnnah to China.

power of expressing feeling and thought
with eyebrows. eyes, with gesture or with
single words-to say the least and TO tell
the most.
1t Is not so very hard. The silent men
and silent women often have this power,
q power they little dream of. 1t Is almost
easy, IL you really follow attentively all
that is being said to YOU.
"Throwing Away Thoughts"
Imagine, for a moment. the mental pro-
cess OF that charming woman who lis
tened so we'll to what you said. She was
not merely listening to your, words. She
was thinking your own thoughts Ia step
with your own brain.
And when you paused, do you think her
ready questlon-so short. so apt-was
thrown out idly, merely to nul q gap?
Did you fail to notice how the ques-
ton opened up new lines of pleasing
thoughts-and bright talk?
Did you think that she had not seen
these new avenues even before the ques-
ton was asked?
Remember now. as you think 1t over
when she asked a question. what help to
you that question was.
Wise, artful little listener!
You know. of course, that she had ideas
Of her own, quite as pleasing to her as
yours. And certainly you must know
that they crowded, brilliant and tempting.
through her brain as she followed your
own thoughts.
But she put them aside, holding them
only long enough to see If they would be
Of any help to you IN what you were say
Ing
she threw away while she listened to
you, and only one or two she used.
A Fine Unselfishness.
That is why her questions were SO apt
For she hid the thought in her question
and a moment later you told 1t back to
her, little dreaming that 1t first was hera.
'There IS the great secret OF Good LIS
~tening"-or, for that matter, OF Good Con-
yersation-the rejection OF every thought,
no matter how brill.antSor pleasing, that
has not real value in relation to the
. thoughts that are being spoken to you
at The instant.
1t is a fine. high form or un~selfshness-
for we ali love our own opinion, and wish
to speak them. But the Good Listener
- must be, before everything else, unselhsh.
And stu, for all the unselfshness. the
Good Listener succeeds-wins friends.
and social advancc-wh,le tho Hard ak
ers somehow do not win at all.
1t is plain as day, IL you Will think OF
1t. To make 1t palmer, I must repeat
; some Of the maXims OF social success that
l nave written before.
Tie Moral.
If you would win friends and favor
whether you are q man or woman, plain
or good TO look at-you must strive to
please. not strive to be admired. i
You please others when you help them
please themselves.
They are pleased by their own voice
and their own thoughts-and by your at
tcntion.
! You may please a Good Listener by
2 mixing. But good listeners are rare-so
far apart are they that they cannot helI
| you to social success.
You can please nearly everybody by
g listening well. And Everybody" VIII
:, help you to social success.
Y Must l point a moral after such a pyra-
mid of truth on truth?
Be a Good Listener"

Animals Become Insane

London Globe: Insanity in the human
subject is supposed by some to have no
analogue in the lower animals. Yet
many cases, according to DR.. Sneilson.
will lead to the permanent loss Of self
control. Cattle driven from the country
through a crowded town will often
work themselves into a frenzy. Horses
have gone mad on the battlefield. AT
Balaclava an Arabian horss turned Of
its attendant, threw hi1c down and,
kneeling on him. attacked him like ar
Infatuated dog. An instance is related
Of a docile horse suddenly going mad on
a hot day. Everything that came in It's
way it seized in its teeth and shook as
a terrier does a rat. A scientist Of au-
thority even goes SO far as to prove by
what appears to be incontestable evil
dence, hat cats, dogs and monkeys
have been observed to have delusions
very similar to those of insane people.

DESERT
Can Go for Months Without a Drink c
Water,

oeSis
New York Evening Post: But other
creatures than the camel are able to
get along for extended periods without
drinking. Sheep in the southwest go
for forty to sixty days in winter with
out drink, grazing on the green, sue
culent vegetation of that season. Pee
carries In the desert of Sonora live In
little dry hills, where there is no nat
ural water, for long periods. They can
not possibly find water, in fact, for
months at q time. The only moisture
they can obtain comes from roots and
the fruits of cacti.
But the most extraordinary case Is
that Of the pocket Gus one Of the
common rodents of the desert. This lit
tie creature. by the way, has a genu-
Inc fur-lined pocket" on the outside
food from this pocket with it's paw, just
as q man would pull a nam sandwich
from his pocket.
One OF these mice has been kept for
three years with no other food than the
mixed birdseed Of commerce.. During
this period it had not q taste of either
water or green food. Other expert
mice in captivity refuse such treats
not seeming to know the water Is gooC
to drink. The birdseed put before the
mouse contained not more than 10 pei
cent. of moisture, which Is less than Is
necessary for digestion. Stuff SO dry a:
this cannot even be swallowed until l
is moistened by saliva. Yet this re
markahle mouse gave nothing but hi!

wrote Is completely outclassed.
The question is seriously raise,
whether this mouse is provided with
cendensing apparatus by which it i
able to absorb moisture from the at
mosphere. AT night and in the burrow
the humidity is much higher thar Il
the daytime above ground. but 1t neve

AN ARMENIAN RESURRECTION
The American Consul at Harput Re-
ports on Conditions in Armenia.
Are Destitute and Another One
in Daily Expected.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE American
| consul at Harput is reported to the
state department that he has visited
Bitlis and is now in Moush.
The consul states that the district of
Sassun is tranquil and paciied, and the
strategic points are %garrisoned by in
fantry detGchments and permanent
barracks erected. The survivors of the
massacre are in a destitute condition,
but are attempting to rebuild their
burned villages with a little govern
ment aid. The consular corps at Bit
lis estimates the number massacred
and dead from exposure and hunger,
ETC., as $500. The American colony at
Bitlis appears to be in no present or
prospective danger.
In the Moush district The insurgents
have adopted a guerilla form of war
fare, a~mbuscading troops and bodies
of Kurds. They demand certain re-
forms which concern chiefly matters of
local administration and economic
questions not involving the integrity OF
the empire. A number of villages have
been plundered and burned and many
persons killed and maltreated, and an
other massacre is daily expected by the
Armenian population which is in desti-
tute circumstances. About $4,000 have
lost everything and are starving, many
being i'll and wounded.
