Birds at Times Get Confused and

Birds at Times Get Confused and
Lose Their Bearings.
Boys are frequently lost in the woods,
and it is singular fact that birds are
sometimes lost in the air. This might
seem strange to almost any one, but
the average man is a superficial OBJ
server of little things.
In the far north, and particularly
along the ocean coasts, birds are fire.
quently storm driven and lose their
bearings, SO that many Of them are lost
at sea- They keep floating in the air,
aimlessly striving to live until exhaus-
ton compels them to drop into the an
CRY waves, which engulf them.
There is well authenticated case on
record of an ocean liner bringing into
New York on a winters day a large
white owl which had dropped to one
Of the forward spars in an exhausted
condition more than 800 miles off the
coast of Newfoundland. 1t was near
ly dead from cold and hunger and al
most too weak to eat anything. 1t had
become much emaciated and trembled
in its distress when it tried to swal-
low the first morsel Of meat which was
placed within its beak. The captain
and sailors were all interested in it.
and under their nourishing care it
slowly recovered and became entirely
well and healthy and strong. 1t will
ingly remained with the ship after
ward.
1t was evidently land bird which
had been blown off from the coast Of
Newfoundland by strong west winds,
had become lost, merely drifted be-
fore the gales, kept out Of the water,
almost starved to death and made its
last intelligent effort to reach the ship
and there fell in exhaustion and col
lapse.
Old sailors narrate many other In
stances of finding birds that have been
lost in the air.-St. Louis Republic.

A YEAR BOOK AND GUIDE.

You frequently hear mention of dead
languages. Well, some facts are even
deader, but these are not the kind that the
Tribune Almanac deals in. BY way of
verifying that, just take a cursory glance
over the issue for 1905, which is now on
sale. 1t is not an Almanac in the diction
airy sense of the word, but is really a
ready reference and guide book, contain
ing everything that such a compilation
ought to have. And the material has
been garnered and sifted and tested with
the utmost care so as to secure absolute
accuracy, or at least get as near to it as
honest painstaking endeavor will bring
one.
Herein will be found perfect gold
mine of information on topics of interest,
not only to every American, but likewise
to all who care to know about us, our
laws, population. officials, and so forth.
(And, by the way, if you have any friends
in Europe. just send them a copy and see
If they don't appreciate it,
There isn't anything missing in the way
of records which the average man will
want to know about. 1t doesn't matter
what the subject-pension legislation,
sporting statistics, facts about universities,
colleges, patriotic societies, population,
public officials, to say nothing of a con-
densed guide of New York city, map of
the underground railroad system, show

telling railroad distances, fares, etc.
In fact, it is really not an exaggeration
to say that of hundred and one things a
sane person wants to know. at least ninety

An Irish King of Portugal.

An Irishman was once king of Por-
tugal, or at least he once ruled in the
kings stead over that country In No
vember, 1910, there was revolution in
Portugal, brought about by the tyran-
meal exactions of Miguel Vasconcellos,
the secretary Of state. The hated min
lister was shot and the vice queen, Mar
garet of Savoy, abdicated. The crown
was offered to the Duke of Braganza,
who was living at Villavicosia. Mean
while, until the duke should accept the
crown, the people of Lisbon elected a
popular and influential Irish merchant,
named John Darcy, who resided in the
city, as their nominal king. Darcy ac-
cepted the honor conferred upon him
and bore the title of king of Portugal"
from Dec to Dec. 6, 1910.

GOVERNOR MURPHY's last report is
acknowledged to be a good document. Its
salient suggestions are:
A constitutional convention.
Prevention of the diversion of potable
waters out of the State.
An increase from thirty-fve to fifty per
cent. in the annual appropriation for the
school taxes
Reduction of the State treasury surplus.
A sunset voting law.
A more stringent law for automobiles.
Engagements of the State Prison.
The suggestion of an increase of state
aid for public schools will be approved by
all. This line of thought will undoubtedly
be enlarged upon by the incoming Cover
nor whose interest in educational matters
has been deep and sincere. The Cover
nor also sees the necessity for giving SUBJ
stantial aid to the Railway Reformatory.
IF sufficient provision were made at Rah-
way, says Governor Murphy, 1.-THE
necessity of any enlargement of the State
prison would disappear. This official
assertion should be scared on the memories
and consciences of the legislators. for it is
not only corroborated by the figures given
in the message, but is strengthened by
comparison of the results accomplished in
each institution; and is also buttressed by
the fact that it costs less to maintain the
inmates in the reformatory than to keep
them in the State prison.
The suggestion to revive the sunset
law will create much discussion and will
possibly meet with more opposition than
any other proposition, although there.is I'M
doubtedly more argument in favor than
against the return to the system which
never was given fair trial in this state
