EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS.
Preparations Under Way for Conven-
ton of Sheet Metal Workers

The members of the executive board Of
the International Amalgamated Association
of Sheet Metal Workers are in Washington
arranging for the convention of the or
ganiZation. which will begin its sessions
next Monday forenoon at Typographical
Temple. The original intention was to
have held the biennial convention In June.
1906. but the executive board decided to
ask the local unions in all parts of the
United States and Canada to sanction the
holding of a special convention at WASH
ington, to begin August Z. Accordingly a
referendum vote was taken and the de-
Clsion reached to hold the extra session as
favored by the board.
The most important matter to be con-
sidered will be the establishment of fune-
raj benefit fund for the association. Such
benefits are now paid from the general
fund.
Officers of the association were elected
at the Buffalo convention in June, 1904
and these will probably hold over until the
next convention. the date OF which may
be decided by the referendum.
The local sheet metal workers have ap-
pointed a committee. and will entertain
the officers and delegates of the interna-
tional body next week.
The general officers who comprise the ex-
ecutive board are: Richard Pattison. gem
eral president. New York: Hugh Frayne,
first general vice president, Scranton. Pa. I;
John II. Kennedy. second general vice
president. Toronto. Canada; John T. Nc

PUBLIC PARKING.
Report of Superintendent Submitted to
Commissioners

There are now So, 337 trees on the streets
and avenues of the capital.
This is one of the most interesting state
ments in the report of Trueman Lanham.
superintendent of parking of the District
of Columbia, for the year ended June 80,
1908, which was submitted to the Engineer
Commissioner today. Mr.. Lanham has not
yet made his estimates for expenses for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1907 but 1t is
thought he will ask for about 5000, which
will be $4,000 in excess of the appropria-
ton for the current twelve months.
During 19O4-5 the superintendent of park
ing had set out along the streets total OF
2,755 trees. During the same time 14S3
trees were removed, large percentage Of
them on account of the railway improve
ment work. and a still larger number in
connection with street, sidewalk and build

Moving a Whole Town

From T. P.s Weekly.
America has accustomed US to hearing OF
the bodily removal Of houses, but it has
been left for Russia to provide the specta-
Gle of whole town of some 5000 inhab-
itants changing its location. This, how
ever. is the case with Lepsinsk. a town in
the district of Semiretsche, in Russian
Turan.
Twenty-Five years ago Lepsinsk was
founded on land provided for the purpose
by the governor general of the province.
This land had. however. formerly belonged
to the Semiretsche horde of Cossacks who
strongly objected to the transfer. For
twenty-five years the dispute has continued
and now at last the inhabitants of Lepsinsk
hearing of suitable site thirty-five kilo-
metres to the northwest of their present
quarters, have decided to remove thither in
a body, taking their possessions and as
much of their habitations as possible along
with them.

VOYAGES OF BOTTLES.
Their Use in Determining Courses Of
Ocean Currents.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sum-
Every day for several years past hun
dreds Of bottles have been thrown over
board from vessels of all kinds and ma
tfonalities with the object of testing the
direction and strength of the countless cur
rents which flow like SO many devious
rivers through the seas. Before each bot
tie is dispatched on its unknown journey,
says Tit-Bits, the skipper, who thus does
marine science good service places In 1t a
note of the exact place whence 1t Is dis
patched, with the date and also a printed
note in half dozen languages. asking the
person who may pick it up to report to
the photographic bureau at Washington
the time and whereabouts of its recovery.
Thus each message, with It's securely cork
ed contents, fares forth on it's voyage of
ocean survey, and by its wanderings maps
the currents Of the ocean.
OF two bottles thrown over in mid-ocean
at the same time, one was picked up on
the coast Of Devonshire, while the other
drifted to far-away Florida, each being
caught by a different current and drifting
thousands of miles away from its fellow.
In curious contrast was the wandering OF
Dago 500 miles east of Newfoundland, and
all recovered during the same week within
a short distance of each other, after drift
ing u 600 miles to the Hebrides.
another DOttle was started Oh us jour
ney from the Nautilus when close to the
Canary Islands. Traversing the great tropi-
cal ocean In the trade wind belt, 1t went
coursing along between the islands of the
Windward group, across the Caribbean Sea
to the coast of Belize, almost within the
Mexican gulf. For 496 days 1t thus pur-
sued fits solitary way before 1t was stranded
and rescued, having covered 400 miles at
an average speed of nearly ten miles a
day. Even this remarkable record Of travel
was eclipSed by bottle which was thrown
up by the sea at Shetland a few years ago,
and Of which a tragic story is told.
On October IL. 1890, the captain OF the
ship buckingham was murdered by a coolie
off the Shetland coast. Unable to attract
attention from the shore, the mate pro-
ceeded on the voyage to New York. where
the murderer was given into custody. and
from there to the Bermudas, where he
wrote an account OF the tragedy and COM
mitted it to the sea. BY most singular
coincidence this bottle with its tragic mes
sage, was carried by the sea currents back
from the Bermudas to Shetland, nearly g.
600 miles away, and two and a half years
later was rescued almost on the very spot
where the murder which 1t recorded was
committed.
For nearly three years another bottle was
roaming over the seas before 1t came to
It's rest. On September / 1t was pitched
overheard from the Bremerhaven, several
hundred miles east of Newfoundland: 1t was
carried Into the southern edge Of the Gulf
stream. drtfted away beyond the Azores,
then. curving to the southwest of the coast
OF Africa. 1t crossed the Atlantic, coming
to Its haven on the shore Of q small island

How Owls Catch Chickens.
From Forest and Stream.

FT0m Forest and Stream.
When I was a chunk Of boy I shot .
horned owl. the spread of whose wings was
four and one-half feet. and to the surprise
of the boy who had carried 1t for several
miles the weight was only four pounds.
They were rather numerous at that time
in that section of the country. and were
troublesome about carrying of chickens.
which mostly roasted in apple trees about
the farm buildings. The belief that they
could carry away full grown hens was a
common one. 1t was also commonly be-
lieved that an owl never picked q chicken
of the roost. but alighting on the limb.
crowded the chicken off. and as 1t few to-
ward the ground caught 1t on the wing.

content with mediocrity. They have not
confined themselves to the beaten tracks /;
they have never been satisfied to do things
just as others do them, but always little
better. They always pushed things that

little farther on. 1t is this little higher up,
