MockINe BIRD REMEMBERED

Silence instead of thy sweet song my
bird,
Which through the darkness of my
winter days
Warbling of summer sunshine still
was heard:
Mute is thy song, and vacant is thy
place.
The spring comes back again, the
fields rejoice,
Carols of gladness ring from every
tree;
But l shall hear thy wild triumphant
voice.
No more: my summer song has
died with thee.
What didst thou sing OF, 0 my sum-
mer bird?
The broad bright, Drumming river,
whose swift sweep
And whirling eddies by the home are
heard,
Rushing, resistless, to the calling
deep.
What didst thou sing of, thou melodi-
Gus sprite?
Pine forests, with smooth russell
carpets spread,
Where cen at MONDAY dimly falls the
light,
Through gloomy blue-green branches
overhead.
What didst thou sing of, o thou jubi-
liant soul?
Ever-fresh flowers and never-leaf-
less trees,
Bending great ivory cups to the con-
Of the soft, swaying, orange-scented
breeze.
What didst thou sing of, thou en-
bodied glee?
The wide, wild marshes with their
clashing reeds
And topaz-tinted channels, where the
Daily its tides of briny freshness
leads.
What didst thou sing of, o thou wing
ed voice?
Dark, bronze-leaved oaks, with sill
yer MOSES crowned,
Where thy free kindred live, love,
and rejoice,
With wreath of golden jasmine cur
tanned round.
These didst thou sing of, Spirit of de-
light!
From thy own radiant sky, thou
quiyering spark!
These thy sweet southern dreams of
warmth and light,
Through the grim northern winter
drear and dark.

If you go to the famous Red Jacket

deep as this. No less an authority
than President McNair of the Michi-
gan College of Mines has explained the
belief that nothing dropped in this
deepest Of mining shafts can ever
reach bottom without colliding with
the east side of the shaft.
This is due to the motion of the
earth,' said he. "Tile article dropped,
no matter what it's shape or size may
be, will invariably be found clinging
to the east side of the shaft. One
Gay a monkey wrench was dropped by
a miner, but it failed to reach the bot

feet down. We decided that to make
proper test of the theory, it would
be worth while to experiment with a
small, heavy, spherical body. SO we

about twelve feet below the mouth OF
the shaft. We then burned the thread

similar. Their bodies, badly torn,

AUTOMOBILE IN FIRE FIGHTING
Beginning to play important Part In
Emergencies.

Beginning to play Important Part In
Emergencies.
With the present high factor Of re-
liability that the past few years Of
improvement have brought it, the
automobile stands second to nothing
in its unification of all those quail
machine par excellence. It's speed,
ease of control, weight-carrying cap
acity and wide radius of action place
it at once so far beyond any other
known method Of transporting fire
apparatus to the scene of action as to
render any comparison utterly out Of
the question. Numerous instances
of it's value in this role could be
brought to bear. But short time ago
the services of three automobiles
saved a western town from total des-
truction; it was without adequate
fire protection and halI the town al
ready gone down fore the fire,
when the automobile saved the day.
To do so it had to cover twenty
miles of rough road intervening be-
tween there and the nearest help.
Other instances of an equally con-
vincing nature are not wanting, and
in all of them the role is played by
the stock touring car.
How much more effective would
the specially designed machine, not
alone providing it's own motive power
but also carrying its own fire-fghting
apparatus, prove in such emergencies?
The question is readily answered at
home as well as abroad Paris and
| other continental c4v.es have come to
regard the automobile fire engine as a
matter of course; it represents an in
novation that was inaugurated two or
three years ago in quite a few in
| stances. and not alone it's perma,
nency in this role, but its eventual
usurpation of 1t to the exclusion of
the horse is looked forward to at no
| distant day. Progress has not been
so rapid here, but the all-round capa-
city of the automobile for this work
makes it only matter of time when
| it will BE- the mainstay in serious fire
fighting the world over.

of it, saying, Il value this sword more
than all the treasures of Prussia" 1t

This statement was confirmed rs

of Chamberlain and the expansion

relation between Japan and the Unit

with the United States as we have
with England. But Our historical re-
lation with this country is stronger
than treaty alliance; in other words
our relation with England is the
written, and that with the United
States is the unwritten If the rup-
ure of such relation comes at some
future time it must come from the II
reconciliable conflict of public opin-
ion in both countries, but not from
the agitation for war by the so-called
lingo politicians, and not from the
anti-Japanese movement aroused by
the demagOgues and assisted by some
of the sensational papers of this
country. American people must re-
gard public opinion in Japan, out
not that of the lingo politicians. The
Japanese nation must regard public
opinion in the United States, but not
that of the anti-japanese agitators,
whom the American nation does not
take into account.

FISHES EASY TO RAISE.

For the encouragement of those
who are disposed to make trial 1t

that food fishes can be raised with no
more difficulty than chickens or
vegetables. All persons who have ex,
perimented with the poultry yard and
the garden know that they demand at
tention. A neglected fish pond may
be compared to a neglected garden.
and will eventually reach the same
gone tossed condition.
The raising Of trout is not consider
ed in this connection. Trout require
special conditions Of water supply
and temperature, and there are al
ready in existence many Volumes on
the subject Of trout breeding. While
it is a fish that most owners of ponds
hope to cultivate, it is essentially one
that cannot be managed except under
naturally favorable conditions, and it
demands more attention than it is ike
Iy to receive at the hands of the anna
teur. Trout culture is in active
progress all over the land, and there
are numerous commercial trout cul-
turists from whom fry and year1ings
may be purchased. Brown trout and
rainbow trout, it should be stated,
are more suitable for small lakes
than brook trout, and will stand
warmer water and grow consider
ably larger. The brook trout does
not naturally inhabit waters having
a temperature much above sixty de-
grees.
With the ordinary run of ponds in
the New York region, where the water
becomes rather warm in summer, it is
necessary to restrict the list of
available fishes to the BASES, perches,
and sunfshes to which they are
adapted This paper, therefore, deals
with the commoner fishes only.
There are few sections of the coun-
try SO lacking in native fishes that

THE THIEF.

Over the fields when skies are blue
His voice upcalls dead hours anew;
Gay music he brings from woods I
mote,
For he's stolen a song from IT,
thrush's throat.
When days end and the twilight's
gloom
Slip glamor over bud and bloom,
Through the fragrant peace his notes
come still
The dusk-dreams of the whipporwill.
And romance follows in his wake
When sweet and low ere day doth
break:
The wind comes through the valley
t'arr
With stolen gladness Of the lark.
