A subject which has exercised me this
summer has been as to what bird it IS with
a bin aeemingly smaller than a jays

sucking the eggs

blaclsbird's and two thrishes' nests all
treated in the same way, the three showing

II pair of butcher birds ncsted in the same

1t is perhaps unjust to suspect the butch

proximity to the scene of the crime and il
may he questioned if the sh,ilic would care

lawn on which the grand stand is

Our Burnt OFFERING,
FROM Golfers Weekly,


The International Society of Build
ing Commissioners and Inspectors calls
attention to the fact that we have in
the United States 11,5oo.000 buildings,
valued at $14.500,000,O0O, or more than
all the railroads in the country put to-
gether, and it asserts that of all these
just one is absolutely fireproof That
one was built i'm Chicago by the great
Insurance companies for Il testing lab
oratory. There are only 1000 buildings
about i'm 3.O0O--that are even nom
inally tireproof and these can be dam
aged I'm Il contlagration to the extent
OF from 80 to 80 per cent. of their value.
Yet the unburnabl Underwriters Lab
oratory in Chicago. with its wallis of
vitritied brick, floors, roof and parti-
Ia. door and window openings framed
in rolled steel. window frames and
sashes of sheet metal, doors of filled
copper and steel, and stairs of hollow
terra-cotta cost only IL per cent. more
than building that would shrive up
at the first breath of an advancing fire.
In 1905. which was Il normal year"
we spent $500.000.000 for new buildings.
and burned old ones TO the value of
$200,0OO.000. We paid 100000. 900 for
fighting fire and sl95.oOO.00O in fire in
surance premiums. of which we got
back s95,000,0O0 from the companies in
payment for losses.
1t cost us more to burn part of our
old buildings and protect the rest from
burning than IL did to put up all our
new ones. This year San Francisco
has raised the fire losses OF the United
States to S500.000.000. even II we do
not let another city burn down be-
nd vCY,
should burn up the whole of our bo-
nanZa wheat crop on which we are
relying to give us prosperity, we should
think the country had suffered ), ca
Elamity; yet ii is doubtful whether that
whole crop would pay for the property
we actually have burned and arc burn
Ing this year. Our entire years gold
supply would not pay for a sixth of it.
The entire gold production of the world
would not come anywhere near paving
for 1t ALL
The s500,o00.0oo worth of buildings
which we put up in a year TO burn
down would cost about $550000 900 if
they were built not to burn down For
the extra $50,000.000 we could save
most of the $500,000.0OO we pay in nor
NAL years for fires and fire protection.
In other words, we should have the
equivalent OF another wheat or cot
ton crop added every year To the ma
tional wealth.
The Society of Building Commissions
ers and Inspectors has proposed uni
form law, to be introduced into the leg
islature of every state. making strictcr
requirements for building; ii urges that
insurance rates upon firetraps should
be prohibitive, and ii suggests that i'm
stead of filming buildings in increased
taxes when they do good work we
should make the taxes lighter on solid
buildings and heavier on those that arc
most dangerous tn the community and
most burdensome i'm their demands for
fire protection.

Mouse Kills a Cat,

1t is not oi.en that u mouse kills n
cat. Such a death. however. was fneted
out last month TO fine black cat in a
Cape May hotel.
The cat caught the mouse and be-
gan. as cats will, to play with it. to
tease it. For some ten minutes this
went on.
And then, all of sudden, the cat
found herself struggling for her life
In mounting the mouse. without desr-
Ing to hurt it, she had inadvertently
half swallowed it. There it was, stuck
in her throat, choking her to death
For three or four minutes the cat
choked and gasped. Then it fell over
dead. And the mouse. oddly enough
was disgorged at the moment the cat
died. The mouse was alive. 1t lay
on the floor a moment, resting, then it
stole away, after one triumphant look
at the dead body Of the cat which it
had killed.
