The distance between Chicago and

forty miles an hour for the entire dis

Eastbound the time is cut even
deeper than westbound, three full

FIFTY YEARS OF KANSAS.
March of Progress in the Sum
flower State.

William Allen White, writing of the
progress made in the last half century
by Kansas, which recently celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of the signing
Of the Kansas-N Nebraska bill, the re-
peal of the Missouri compromise, says
in the Worlds Work for June:
Fifty years ago Kansas was marked
on the maps a desert, and for the most
part it was desert, indeed. 1t is an
upland country chiefly, vast plateau,
veined sparseiy with creeks and after
led with few rivers that were swollen
with the floods of spring and, through
the season of growing crops, oozed slug.
gishly in pools on the parching white
sand. Before civilized man came to
grapple it this desert lay green and
tempting in May and June and brown
and dreary the rest of the year.
And now that Kansas has conquered
the soil, getting crops from it with
bountiful regularity, she is delving into
the ground In the southwestern tri-
angle Of the state the ten years last
past have brought important discoveries
of coal and oil and gas and zinc and
lead. The iron mountains Of Missouri
are near by, and smelters and foundries
and allied industries that need cheap
fuel are filling up southeastern Kan
sas, changing its economic status from
agricultural to manufacturing. The gas,
coal and oil belts are pushing farther
and farther back into the state. 1t Is
not unlikely that half the area of Kan
sas may cover valuable fuel products.
Since 1894 Kansas has pulled herself
out of debt Her proportion of rented
farms is smaller than that of any
other state in the transmissouri coun-
try. Seven-tenths of the homes OF the
people are owned. The railroad mile
age of the state is larger than that OF
any other American state in proportion
to the population. The per capita
wealth of Kansas may not be larger
than that of New York, but Kansas
wealth is more evenly distributed.
There are no rich men-not dozen
men In the state worth more than ST.
100000, not 200 worth 100000, but
thousands are worth from $4,000 to
$4,000 and scores worth 100000. The
money of the few Kansas rich men has
been earned and saved.
But the chief glory of Kansas is not
her material wealth, but her schools
In the amount Of money spent fol-
schools in proportion to the wealth and
population of the state Kansas ranks
fourteenth. The most considerable
item Of the Kansan's taxes is school

Blind Men In Revolt.

Five hundred and fifty inmates of
the Blind Hospital of st. Joseph at
Naples broke out in revolt recently be-
cause the management had published
regulation limiting the hours of out
door exercise, says the Rome CORE
spondent of the London Chronicle. A
blind old man was posted in the Cam
panile to ring the signal bell for the
outbreak. whereupon the indictments
swarmed through the windows. To
prevent communication with the police
they had barred the entrances and de-
stroyed the telephone apparatus. They
also tore up the gaspipes. One of the
directors, who sought to summon aid
was forced to leap from the balcony
on the second floor to escape the fury
of the rebels Some Of the rioters
were badly cut and bruised.

What Tihetans Believe.

The Tibetans do not believe that the
British could conquer them, says the
New York Globe 1t Is a curious fact
that traditions of a war of some kind
are still kept alive by the Tfbetans.
They manufacture large quantities Of
gunpowder, bows and arrows, swords
and spears and set great store by their
physical courage. They would rather
be considered robbers and thieves than
towards: One sees in Gyangtse gangs
Of gigantic men humping their chests,
slapping their thighs and calling on the
rabble to clear out of the way, as they
fear nobody. However, they quickly
make way themselves for an officer or
a sepoy belonging to the British mis-
sion. The wounded Tibetans dis
charged from the English field hospital
consider themselves great heroes and
have nothing but contempt for their
comrades who ran away. AS mat
ter of fact, most of their own wounds
were in the back.

BIRDS BETTER THAN ANTS?
euATeMALAN INSECT MAY BE UNDs-
SIRABLE IMMIGRANT.
Wanton Sacrifice of Bird Life Cause OF
tbs Presence of So Many Pests in the
Cotton Fields of the South.

COTTON FtetuS VI lHo HOuh"'
From the Savannah News.
The Mexican cotton boil weevtl is an
undesirable foreign immigrant against
whom our bars were not put up IL time.
It is now proposed to bring in another
foreign immigrant, the Guatemalan
ant, to counterfeit the weevils. Wheth-
err or not the ant will prove as unde-
sirable as the weevil is an open ques-
ton. 1t may prove entirely harmless
and then again it may not. AT this
point the question arises, did not ma
ture provide means for maintaining
the equilibrium between insect life,
plant life and animal life in the cotton
growing sections? And if these means
are kept intact will they not prove
efficient aud sufficient? We published
the other day some extracts from a
bulletin issued by the department OF
agriculture telling of the value OF the
bob white" or southern partridge, as
an insect destroyer, and referred In
another article to the value OF the
American toad on farms and in orch
ards aud gardens.
a correspondent OF the Charleston
News and Courier, who seems to be
well informed with respect to his sub
ject, suggests that the reason so many
insect pests are appearing in the cot
ton fields is that about all sorts OF bird
life in the south has been wantOnly
sacrificed and that toads and harmless
snakes have been treated as enemies
rather than as friends of the human
race. He makes a plea for even the
crow, which he asserts does far more
good thau harm about farm, destroy
ing noxious insects enough to repay
hundred-fold for the few hills OF corn
he pulls up. Bride, says the CORE
spondeut, are far better than ants for
protecting cotton against boil wee lis,
IL worms, caterpillars and other in
Sect pests than imported and doubtful
ants are likely to prove to be.
Year u, err year efforts have been
m lie to secure legislation in the south
err states that would protect bird life,
but only one or two of the states have
taken any steps to protect non game
birds aud songsters. When such bills
have been introduced they have been
Laughed out of court" as "bull-bat
bills" or something equally frivolous.
And vet "bull-bats" are among the
greatest OF insect destroying birds,
Mocking birds, desirable alike for their
insect-destrOying capacity aud their de-
lightful songs, have been almost eX-
terminated 10 many sections. Redbirds
and thrushes have become rare. No
species of birds seems to be really
thriving except the English sparrow,
which is town-dw weller and does 40
body any good. Maybe the appearance
of the boil weevil in Texas and the
threat of its liability to spread over
the whole cotton belt in the course of
few years will awaken the Legislators
to the importance of taking immediate
steps for the protection of song and
non game birds; and maybe it would
be a good idea to remember also the
harmless snakes aud the toads.
