BIRDS oF PREY DO GOOD.

I wish I could make a naturalist's s plea for the preservation of birds of prey. Must these species, even in our enlightened land, still be the butt of all classes of humanity, after it has be- come known by the examination of their stomachs that most of them live largely on the very vermin with which sportsmen and farmers class them?
 Every farmer and game-keeper should have a copy of the Biological Surveys report on the stomachs of birds of prey. Besides immense quan- titles of mice, hawks and owls, they kill snakes, rats, weasels, skunks and squirrels all of which species destroy more or ess young game birds and the eggs of game birds. Therefore it be- comes necessary to know whether the bird of prey himself or all these other enemies kill the most game before judging of his harmfulness. The kill ing of hawk or owl is probably al- most always the killing of one of your game preserves, whether or no he takes some game in pay. You might as well abolish policemen because they some times offend.
 Even when the bird of prey gets game birds, 1t Is probable that his vic- time are most commonly the less viz orous or wounded specimens. so that his influence invigorates the breed by eliminating sickly propagators.
 Tn the meantime we naturalists beg to 0f our most interesting classes of birds, when they may learn too late that they have killed their own natural game wardens.
 There would not have come down to us any race of game birds if the exist ence of hawks, etc, tended to destroy it.
 In the same respect the fish case is remarkably simple.
 Sjortsmen wage war against herons. kingfishers and fish-hawks. Now, since it is well known that the main devour- CTS of trout spawn and fry, for in- stance, are not any kind of bird, but certain species of fish, you are probably helping thin your trout by removing these birds, since the latter doubtless prey more on the sDawn-devourers than on the trout. This is plain, be- cause trout are swifter and hence har- der to catch and live commonly in deep CT water than other species; so that what the heron and kingfisher get are no doubt generally the enemies of your trout.
 It is not hard that we naturalists must lose our beautiful herons and the wild-voiced kindfshers, and you your trout, because you will not think and understand before you act?-Forest and Stream.

The fficiaI announcement of inability to meet June interest charges on the Detroit Southern first mortgage { per cent bonds caused a slum in the low priced stocks and had a disturbing ef- feet on sentiment. The road is a small one growing out of one of the belated combinations. and the nominal market for the bonds indicated the narrow margin of security for their interest charges. The bond has not sold on the exchange since August. 1903. Readings report of $332. 300 increase in net earn ings for April yielded the stock a gain of B per cent. Other reports of rail road earnings were unfavorable, but were of scarcely more effect. No ben eft was felt by the market from the favorable reports of the New Haven strike. Late covering by the days shorts left trivial net changes.
 Total sales of bonds, par value. were s1, ,O95. 1000.

YESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET
Volume of Selling Exceedingly Light.

Volume of Selling Exceedingly Light.
 New York, May 27.-The volume of selling in to-days stock market was
 exceedingly light, but was sufficient to incline the balance towards lower
 prices. The market did not quite reach
 the record for dullness touched earlier
 in the year, on March 1O when the ag- lgregate shares sold amounted to only "A, 400. But to-day's total of 119,0O0
 shares left little to choose between them. The imminence of three-days' holiday, added to the general discour- Iagement of the speculation, was the cause of the aggravated apathy of the market.
 The promise of growth in cash re- sources of the banks to the extent of
 nearly $10,000,000 stimulated no interest l in stocks. Of this amount the sub treasury has contributed $1645,000 as the residue of the $9,000,0 ,000 paid to the
 banks last week for the account of the
 Panama republic and since depleted by the recall of government deposits. The flood of currency from the interior, es- timated to have amounted to upwards of $S000,000 in favor of New York, is
 given an almost sinister import on &C., count of the inferences of stagnant de- Imand for money in business. The re- ceipts of national bank notes for cur- rent redemption at Washington also amounted to $1,SS6,97S for the day. The course to be disclosed by the loan item in to-morrow's bank statement and it's effect on the surplus reserve were re- garded with little attention, as it is patent that it is not for want of capital resources available that the stock mar ket is stagnant and neglected. The amount of gold bars available for ex- port tomorrow proved to be only $550,- 1000, but exchange continued strong and approached the level of profit in ship ments of cain. There was a drop of a half penny an ounce in the price of gold in London, which probably mark
 ed the passing of the Paris demand for
 gold in that market, as sterling contin-
 ues to advance in Paris This gives color to discussion of possible move |ment of gold from New York to Lon
 don direct.

fontein and Dutoitspan mines, were later. salable at e6OO representing the gratifying return of e60 for every sov- ereign originally invested.
 In spite of the marvellous harvest yielded by these South African diamond companies, it is a stated that fully 9 fourth of the stones found never come Unto the companies possession at all, but, in spite of the utmost care and the
 most exhaustive searching of the na- tives, are stolen. This leakage does not appear to be due to any want of gen. erosity in treating the natives; for a bonus of ' 1-2 per cent. of the value of the stones discovered is offered to the finders.
 Some of the very finest diamonds the mines have ever produced have been recovered from boys" who have stolen them. Fifteen years ago a native work ing in the De Beers mine discovered a magnificent diamond, which proved too much for his honesty, for he forthwith annexed it. It was recovered, however, a few hours later by a detective and was found to be an absolutely f1awless stone of rare beauty, weighing more
 than three ounces and measuring in its
 greatest length nearly two inches.
 A stone of more than twice this
 weight was discovered few years ago
 at Jagersfontein by a native, who
 promptly handed it over to the authori-
 ties and was rewarded for his honesty
 by a presept of 100 sovereigns and q horse and 9art. This superb stone, one of the largest in the world weighed
 in the rough six and one-half ounces
 and measured almost exactly three in-
 ehes across it's major axis.
 The most dramatic feature of this dis
 covery was that the stone was found
 on the very day on which the contract
 of the syndicate whose property it be-
 came expired.--London Tit-Bits.

SOUTH AFRICAN 151AMoNDs.

7ealth in Discoveries Beyond The Dreames of Avarice. EThe recent important discoveries of Aamonds in South Africa draw atten- Pn to an industry more full of romance Fen than that of gold mining, for the Dry of South African diamond dis &veries is crowded with happenings Fore startling and dramatic than most Stion.
 arhe story of the finding of the first hmond has often been told-how a Rn of the name of O'Rielly, travelling 3uth from the Orange river, sought a ght's rest at the farmhouse of one #ckerk, in the Hopetown district how e farmer produced for his guests in- Hction a handful of pretty pebbles &ked up by his children, and how Rielly discovered among the. pebbles IHiamond, which he sold at Grahams- Tn for a50O.
 Ehis Is old history; but much that is Aally romantic in the story of South Tlcan diamonds is remembered now few. It was only two years later KFarmer Nickerks way, when a na- ie chanced to show him a large peb- looking like lump of alum, which, Biting by his former experience, he tognize as a diamond of considerable lue. He purchased it for a400 of his fm stock, and day or two later had wn e10,000 for it from Hopetown n. This stone, known the whole f'ld over as "The Star of South Af- A," weighed S3 karats, is now valued e 5000, and is the most treasured of 1.-the jewels of the Countess of Dud-
 Vicereine of Ireland.
 is a striking illustration of the Ny of luck that these were the only
 diamonds of any value that were nd near Hopetown; although q lit Eater 10000 miners were ransacking banks of the Vaal river, sacrificing r lives by hundreds through disease
 hardships in the futile quest for E Stars of South Africa"
 1871 wealth far beyond the dreams lvarice" was tapped on the De- Is farm, near Dutoitspau, and dia- Sds were being picked out of the E of farmhouse near the since pus' Bultfortein mine. The De
 Is farm. even when it was known
 it held a treasure of precious es,. was sold for G600O, and later aSlged hands for G100,000. How hlent bargain it was even at the er price can be told from the fact

if not rapid, water. is less liable to carry any sound of disturbed stones or foot movement to the fish This is req sonable enough. and many fine fish are killed in that way. Other anglers seorn the idea Of working against the stream, and say, Avoid the disturbing of stones and other sounds. The fish always lie with their noses upstream and their eyes looking for what the water brings down, as the real fly would come" This is sound sense, for beyond question the more naturally the lure is presented the more tempting it should prove; hence the reader might say the downstream theory appeals to my judgment and I'll follow it. ," That is all very well, but suppose, when working either up or down stream, a bend happens to bring low sun di- rectly behind you-what then?
 So far as I know, there are few things which will so thoroughly alarm trout as the shadow of man, or of his arm and rod shifting over a pool. When the complicated shadows of a lot of breeze stirred branches are playing all over the surface. the addition of a few extra shadows may not greatly matter; but those days are comparatively rare, and even then it would seem that any un- usually large shadow would of necessity be noticed. This suggests that upon the typical winding stream, alternate sections of which needs must trend to- ward widely apart points on the com pass, a man will have considerable trouble to keep control of his warning shadow This is best accomplished by a cany shifting from side to side as oc- casion may demand, and I believe this maneuver to be well worth the slight trouble it involves. A wise man never suffers a shadow of his making to touch the water to be fished.
 And now in regard to bait-fishing- that shockingly plebeian sport which your bigoted flicker of humbugs deems a gory old crime. believe in scientific bait-fishing for several reasons, chief of which is it's likelihood to catch fish, and the biggest and bulliest fish there be. I don't mean whole lot of fish, but say a couple.-Edwyn Sandys in Outing.

WALKING WITH BROKEN LEG

WALKING WITH BROKEN LEGS. Experiments have recently been made at the London hospital with new splints which enable person with broken tleg or thigh to go about his business within few days of his accident. The invention halls from the continent, lwhere it has been in use for some years.
 The principle of the splint is that round lthe seat of the fracture is fastened a hardened leather case, which fits the leg closely everywhere, and prevents any movement of the fractured bones. The weight of the body is then carried by jointed steel rods attached to another case fastened above or below the knee, according to the place of fracture. With this appliance the patient is enabled to
 walk before the broken bone is joined, and there is none of that after trouble with stiff joints which comes when a limb has been held rigidly for weeks.
 The method of applying the splint is to first take a cast in plaster of the
 broken limb. from the plaster casing to make model of the leg, and upon this to build up, in leather, strength ened with steel bands, case which exactly fits the limb. Along each side
 are clamped strong and adjustable
 steel supports which carry the weight
 of the body from the leather casing to
 the ground. Around the ankle and
 foot is placed steel sole piece and lanklet, which receives the other end
 of the jointed support.
 Thus man who has had the misfor-
 tune to break his leg may in few
 days be out and 91out his business, Isince the appliance is concealed by his |clothing. The only indications that in walking and the necessity of using

ZAMLOCH THE
WONDER-WORKER

Zamloch, the Wizard, not the ball
pitching wizard of the Elks' nine, but
his father, is now on the way to max
ing a return visit to Hawaii
Nine years ago he came to the island
and was more than a nine days Won
der the natives particularly enjoying
his mystifying performances. He now
expects to open a weeks engagement
at the Orpheum on Saturday evening,
the seat sale commencing at the Berg
strom Music Co. on Wednesday morn
ing.
Zamloch's performances, while up to
date including the latest features of
modern magic. are the more interest
ing from their originality. Zamloch
himself is not a eopyist but an inven-
tor. He it was who challenged Her
mann when he was in his prime and
not only discovered the mysteries of
the Great Ones tricks but showed
him some OF his own which effectively
baffled Hermann's efforts and brought~
forth his admiring acknowledgement of
defeat.
Nor have the years dimmed the bril-
fancy of Zamloch's programs. The
deviation mystery. the disappearing
lady both are shown while a strong
feature lies in the unusual excellence
of his assistants. Many are undoubt-
eddy looking forward to ZamIoch's re-
turn and for these and others the new
down town box Office of the Orpheum
has been established at Bergstrom's.
