now. that Maryland's electoral vote was
divided.
For the next forty years the electoral
vote OF each State was given solidly to
one or other of the candidates. In 1871
the Greeley fiasco and the death of the
Democratic candidate before the time Of
casting the electoral vote resulted in dis
agreement among the Democratic cleo
tors as 10 the person on whom their
votes should be wasted--Georgia dis
tributed its vote among three persons,
Missouri among three. and Kentucky
divided its vote between two. Then the
regular practice of solid voting was re-
sumed until 1880 when California made
It's first departure by giving five votes
10 Hancock and one 10 Garfield.
No more splitting occurred until the
Cleveland Harrison election IN 1892. Five
States then split their electoral votes.
California gave Cleveland eight votes
and Harrison one; Michigan, Cleveland
five and Harrison nine. Ohio, Cleveland
one and Harrison tWenty-tWOs Oregon
Cleveland one and Harrison threei
North Dakota divided its three electoral
votes between Cleveland, Harrison and
Weaver In 1896 California and Ken
lucky were the only States 70 split their
votes, California giving Mckinley eight
ana Bryan one, and Kentucky giving
Mckinley twelve and Bryan one IN 1900
the practice Of voting solid was resumed.
Now Maryland. that sOlitarily set the
example Just 100 years ago, closes the
century OF the present method OF voting

run about and damage their plumage.
In Tolls of Feather Harvester.
When all Is ready for feather plucking
each ostrich is cajOled by food out OF
the inclosure into a narrow passageWay
built of heavy boards. Front and rear
gates are closed and the bird Is pris-
cner between walls OF planks that reach
To its back and where there is no room
FOR Il 70 move in any direction. A cloth
bag IS thrown over the ostrich's head
and the creature is IN the tolls Of the
feather harvester.
About half an hour is spent plucking
each ostrich. Three men stand upon a
platform outside the pen where the os-
trich IS held fast, and with dozen
scissors and appliances for stanching
blood that may flow from the birds torn
flesh work diligently. Care is taken 10
leave enough feathers TO protect the
smaller feathers, which viii grow into
pIumes by the next plucking.
In the early days of ostrich farming
in southern California little attention
was given to these details, and IN con-
sequence many birds died.
Most OF the tail feathers are pulled,
not cut off. because they reproduce bet
ter than on other parts of the ostrich.
and because they are so short that the
extra inch or two gained by not snip
ping the feather is a matter OF several

Keeps Up an Incessant Roar.
While the feather harvest is proceed
ing the ostrich keeps up an incessant
low roaring and but for the tightness of
the pen IL would kick the plank boards
into sliveTs. At last when the pluckers
have gone the gates are opened and
the bird rushes out into the inclosure to
join its mates. Then another ostrich is
cajoled into the pen and the gathering
of more feathers goes on.
About 100000 is now invested in os-
trich farming in the Pasadena region.
and the annual output of feathers has
grown 10 be more than 800, coo.
The success of ostrich farming has
come largely from an invention of an os-
trich incubator by a young woman. In
ostrich domestic economy the male sits

London Pulling Ahead

London IS the only city in the World

York. says the New York sun ana

New York would become the hTst city.
The city of London proper, exclusive
Of suburbs, has a population OF i,04-'VOO'
and an area of 4, ,442 acres. This was by
the census OF 1901. BY the census OF
lSJO the population OF New YORK was
3, $4,000 and the area $4,000 acres.
New York. with the larger iauo OF
gain in population and the larger uh-
occupied territory for expansion, had the
larger opportunity for increase into Iht
position of first city OF the world. But
recently the committee OF the London
county council which has been consld-
ering the advisability or extending the
boundaries Of London made a favorable
report.
When the council came into existence
in 1889, the outlying suburbs were small
and unimpOTtant; now they are popu-
lOuS communities and are enllrsly iree
from the supervision of municipal au-
thOrty. HOrnsey and West liam nave

included in this ring is added to the

increased. So long as London continues
to annex suburban territory to the city

Los ANGELES. Cal. Dec 17-After
twenty years of constant loss ostrich

Most persons have an idea that an
ostrich is plucked Of its plumage by
holding the giant bird down with straps
and ropes while an attendant pulls the
feathers indiscriminately from the bird s
back and wings. Bu( harvesting ostrich
feathers is a scientific operation that
demands experience and care, lest birds

Splitting its electoral vote is no new
thing for Maryland. it having elected a

100 years since the adoption Of the
twelfth amendment TO the Constitution

this respect. California coming next with
three instances. and New York and
Kentucky furnishing two each.
The first divided electoral vote OF a
State under the twelfth amendment was
