give my reader a live bird and not a
labeled specimen
Mr.. Burroughs is man or leisure,
who thoroughly enjoys the country lifa,
and in his strolls through the woods or
IN the fields he is always ready to stop
and investigate anything new or inter-
estlng that he may chance to see among
the birds, or squirrels or bees, or in
scots. His long life Of observation ana
study has developed remarkably quick
eyesight and keen sense OF hearing,
which enable him to detect all the ac-
tivties Of nature and TO place a correct
Interpretation upon them 10 an extent
that few other naturalists have reH-
lied,
When he writes he is simply living
over again the experiences which have
delighted him, and the best explanation
Of the rare pleasure that is impaired by
his writings to every reader Is given In
his own words 81 cannot bring my
self to think Of my books as works,
because SO little work has gone to the
making OF them. II has all been play
| have gone a-hshing or camping or
canoeing, and new literary material has
been the result The writing
Of the book was only a second and finer
enjoyment OF my holiday in the fields
or woods; not til the writing did II
really seem to strike in and become
part of me-" and so the reader seems
to participate in this finer enjoyment
Of a holiday in the fields or woods.
Delightful as are his interpretations
of nature, Mr.. Burroughs has not con-
fined himself to that kind Of literary
work, but has given us a number u
books Of essays Of which his study or
Whitman is the most important, This
comprises an entire volume, and there
are three other volumes OF essays on
literature, science criticism, philosophy,
and religion. His latest volume is en-
titled Far and Near" II deals prln-
2lpally with journey TO Alaska, but a
portion of II refers TO a visit of Jamaica,
thus giving MIR, Burroughs an oppor-
tunlty TO exercise his own peculiar pow
ers Of observation, and his intense en-
thusiasm In lands far distant and quite
different from his own. Speaking of this
book the Edinburgh Scotsman says:
Since Richard Jetfres died there Is
nobody writes so well I'm English about
fields and hillsldes and the open air
and the life Of free birds and beasts as
does Mr. John Burroughs. .
The volume az a whole will have a
hearty welcome on both sides Of the At
lantic."

HORSES POWER III EYES.
Psychologists Find Calculating AMI
NAL Spells and Counts by Vir-
tue Of Quick Vision.

Berlin.-Dr. Carl Stumpf, professor Of
psychology at the University Of Berlin
and member of the Royal Academy Of
Science, and two colleagues, DR.. c. Won
Hornbostel and DR.. o. Pfungst, have
ended months Of experiments with Won
Osten's horse Hans. They find that the
secret of the animals replies is in his
powers of observation. which enable him
to perceive while he looks at his ques-
toner the instant he has reached a cor
rect answer. Thus they found the horse
was unable to tap out correct answer
to 4 question when the person putting 1t
did not know the answer-for example,
Elbow many persons are in the group
behind met"
The questioner, not looking himself,
did not know the number, and Hans was
unable to give a correct reply. The
horse was not able when wearing blink
ers to calculate or perform the simplest
counting.
DR.. Stumpf does not doubt tho good
faith Of Won Osten, but he concluded that

uoner is unconscious. This conception

SMALL BILLS ARE SCARCER
Dwindling in Number Of One and Two
Dollar Certificates Owing to Ex-
haustion Of Silver Bullion.

Washington.-The treasury depart
ment is having a difficult time in filing
orders from national banks for one and
tWo-dollar bills. The volume of free
currency of these denominations has
been dwindling at very rapid rate dur
ing the last four or five months, and is
now so small that it is necessary to limit
the number that may be doled out to the
banks. /,
The shortage of money is charged by
Treasurer Roberts against the exhaus-
ton of the silver bullion. AS is gener-
ally known, silver certificates of small
denominations are issued against coined
silver dollars, the latter being stored
away in the treasury vaults as guaran-
tee for the paper money. When con-
gress stopped the purchase of silver bull
lion for this purpose there remained in
the possession of the government Z ire
mendous amount Of the uncoined metal.
This has been gradually used from
month to month since, but practically
the last bit of it was coined in February
of this year, when the minis turned out
&C, 900 standard silver dollars. That was
the last time any addition was made to
the volume of circulating currency in
the most popular form OF money-tho
one and two-dollar bills.
At the beginning Of every days busi-
ness Treasurer Roberts examines the re-
port Of the number Of free silver dollars
on hand. He then tells the cashier how
many silver certificates may be shipped
during the day, and this limit is rigidly
adhered to. 1t frequently happens that
national banks will have their applica-
tons for addition notes cut in half.
Sometimes their demands are honored
in full.

BLACKLIST FOR HOTEL MEN
Propristors Of Pennsylvania Hostel
ries Claim They Lose Heavily
from Dishonest Patrons.

Philadelphia.-MOv for mu-
tual protection OF interests among the
hotel men Of the state were set on foot
at special meeting OF the Peunsyl-
vania State Hotel association in this
city recently. h.
Some of the things It. is proposed to
institute are 4 blacklist for "hOtel
BEATS" another blacklist for dishonest
or drunken employees. and county asso-
Citations, similar to the state organiza-
ton. to look after local interests.
In the way Of legislation it was de-
cided to prepare bill for presentation
to the state legislature which will pro-
vide for uniform Interpretation Of the
license law in all counties of the state.
The decision to form blacklist of
"dead-beat patrons" was the outcome
of a comparison of worthless checks
and drafts by the members. Every
man in the meeting had at least one
worthless check or draft that had been
passed on him by some one OF his
guests. =
Charles e. Federman, the secretary.
counted them all up and announced
that the hotel proprietors in the state
had been mulcted for more than $780,.
900 by this kind of thieves in. the last
year.
Federman was authorized to prepare
the system Of blacklisting. Each pro-
prietor who loses money by entertain
ing dishonest guest will at once
write, giving name and description of
the man, to the secretary Of the asso-
citation, who will In turn notify every
other member of the association.
If the swindler is caught he will be
prosecuted at the expense Of the asso-
citation. The same method will be taken
in the case of dishonest employees.

resentatives in the state legislature
are talking up the matter Of the con
solidation of rural schools. This IL
something that seems to meet with
the approval of leading educators
generally, and where it has been
tried it is said to give good satisfac-
ton. Two bills have been intro duo
ed both of which have good point t. !;
and if the two bills could be merged
into one it might, perhaps be as
we'll. One bill provides that the
school site OF thses consolidated dis.

to be devoted to crops, the planting
of shade and fruit trees, etc. 1t also
provides that a premium OF two
thousand dollars each shall be given

formed and meeting the require
ments of the law. The other bill
provides what would seem a good
method for bringing about consoli-
dalton, and would remove many
difficulties that now stand in the
way. It will take time to bring about
these changes but there is every rea
son to believe that they are sure to
