FEEDING THE BRIDES.
Made Friends by Hanging Fat Meat
Out for Them in Winter.

Bird Lore, in it's notes on winter
feeding of wild birds gives a number
OF methods for such feeding that may
be easily employed by any kindly per.
son with the greatest satisfaction. At
this time OF year birds, like domestic
fowls, appreciate fat food. Soup bones,
after they have served their purpose
In the kettle, may be hung in a tree
or elsewhere so that cats may not get
at the feathered visitors. Here the
birds will pick away every bit of meat
and gristle. Suet may be put in the
trees this way or the carcass of
fowl, and blue jays, nuthatches, wood
peckers and chicadees, not to mention
the English Sparrows, will visit this
luncheon with delight.
A correspondent writing from jack
sonville, ILL.,, says: ever since 1 be-
gan bird study, six years ago, I have
kept a winter bird table; and it has
been a never-failing source of pleasure
and instruction to me as well as a
help to my bird guests during the bad
weather. We have an acre of ground
around our home, and fine trees, but
there are streets on all but the north
side, so chose that side for the bird
table, as it is the most sheltered and
at the same time affords us the best
chance to watch the birds from the
house. began by tying Jumps of suet
up in small trees near the windows
and very soon my guests began to
arrive. Later 1 devised a plan for
bringing the suet eaters within closer
range. I fastened a rough stick, tive
or three inches in diameter, to the
window shutters, across the window a
little below the middle sash and upon
this stick I tied my lump of suet.
From that time we have had the
pleasure all winter long of watching
our bird neiehNo~s at their luncheon
while sitting at our own dining table,
I also fastened a wooden tray to the
sill into which we put cracked nuts
and chopped suet. The most constant
visitors were the chickadees and wood
peckers; then bluejays, titmice, show
birds and nuthatches, with once in q
while a cardinal. Of these the chik
adees and downy woodpeckers are the
tamest. When the spring migrants
return we find black-birds and cat
birds patronizing the suet. Almost al

When the carriage stopped she hast

NUMBER 4.
ONE OF EGYPT's MYSTERIES
A Lake Part of which IL Fresh and /
the Other Part Salt.

Lake Part of Which II Fresh and
the Other Part Salt.
During the reign of Said Pasha q
causeway was built across the lake Of
Mareotis, with the result that the west
ern portion Of the lake became highly
lmpregnated with salt, while the east
ern part remained as formerly, only
slightly brackish. Scientists are not
satisfied as to the source of the i'm
mense quantity of salt contained in the
lake, and some have conjectured an
underground passage from the sea.
However, there is no visible channel
by which the sea water might enter,
and, as one can ride all around 1t, 1t is
to all intents and purposes lake.
Its length Is about nine miles and its
breadth four, and it furnishes the en-
tire salt supply for Egypt. A minia
ture railway runs from the workshops
to the lake, where the salt is cut and
the trucks filled by gangs of Bedouins,
who during the season are ut work day
and night. At the workshops the salt
is ground and packed and from there
distributed all over the country.
To the unscientific mind the main
charm of the lake is its beauty AS
near the shore, which stretches as far
as the eye can see, one feels exactly
as if standing on a field Of ice, and, In
addition to the dazzling whiteness of
the salt, its beauty is enhanced by
pink tinge which at the edges of the
lake deepens to mauve. The cause
of this color Is also matter of con-
lecture and has been attributed to-
minute organisms contained in the salt.
Whatever Its origin, 1t fades as the salt
becomes dry, but while damp the effect
of the imprisoned color is ndescribably
lovely.
To get an entirely different phase of
the sight one must ride over the cause
way. Here one has the Ice field on the
right and on the left the rippllng blue
Mareotis. About half way across,
where the lake is deeper and the salt
crust has not formed, the scenery
changes. The water has the still and
heavy look of the Dead sea, but unlike
the latter, which looks like molten
brass, this milky lake with the clouds
and the blue sky reflected in 1t might
be likened to vast opal, and the
setting sun, throwing fiery ball into
Its depths, complete the similtude.
To eyes accustomed to the soft and
varying tints of green in an English
landscape the setting might seem un-
worthy of this gem, for the surround
ing hills boast no verdure. But after
a short residence in this desert one
learns to admire the hills, in which all
the sepia tones are blended, and when
lighted up by the setting sun the color
ing calls to mind the western windows
of Magdalen chapel.
This enchanting scene, however, Is
evanescent. As the salt Is formed by
evaporation, 1t is only during the hot
summer months that this can take
| place, and with the first autumn rain
the picture fades away and the spark
| ling ice field resolves itself into a
placid lake of blue.-London Tele-

UNION STATION PLANS
TOBE COMPREHENSIVE
James Hill Gives Committee Of Business Men Idea Of
What He Intends to Do for City---New Building Will
Be Thoroly Up to Date.

Minneapolis is at last to have a new
union station that will be credit to
the city, and constructed on such q
scale as to care for the traffic Of the
city for the next fifty years. Following
up his announcement first made thru
The Journal some weeks ago,
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern and owner of the present
union station property in Minneapolis,
yesterday revealed his plans to dele
cation of prominent Minneapolis bust
ness men, during three-hour conference
in his office. At the same time Mr..
Hill confirmed the announcement made
some time ago by The ournal to
the effect that he has under way i'm
mense freight terminal projects in
Northeast Minneapolis.
No local development In the last
decade is taken to be of greater i'm
portance than Mr.. Hills announcement
yesterday concerning his plans for
freight and passenger terminals for
Minneapolis. It is stated without quail
ifcation that this will assure for Min
neapolis civic center, probably in the
the proposed new postoffice on or near
block 38, and, above all, the establish
.ment of adequate facilities for freight
and passenger service for years to
come.

nouncing that he would have time to
entertain the delegation yesterday, Mr..
Nelson called the Minneapolis repre-
sentatives together. They met Mr.. Hill
in his offices in the Great Northern
building and for three hours and ten
minutes the railroad king talked of his
plans for the future, not only for Min
neapolis, but for the entire northwest.
In his own time and in his own manner
he outlined his plans and, tho the men
present were awaiting with eager in
terest the particular announcement of
the union station plans, they were. held
with eager interest on Mr.. Hills out
