ANOTHER DAY.

Lord. as the evenings curtains lower
And night comes stealing on,
] Offer one petition more
Before my day is done.
II is not for belated fame,
Not yet for honor dear:
It is not TO escape the shame
OF failure or of fear
While many stress and struggle shirk.
And shun the stormy seas,
| ask thee still for earthly work
And not for heavenly ease.
Tho. saddened oft by scenes of strife.
By violence and crime,
| am not weary of my life,
Nor out of sorts with time;
But would return child again,
In the milennial age;
Would grow to manhood with its meu
And in Its work engage;
Would see its sights, would breathe its
breaths,
Would hear its battle cries:
Would do its deeds. defy its deaths,
And share its agonies;
Would see the heaven Of heavens laid bare
The earth's foundations rocked;
And powers of light and darkness where
In mortal conflict locked;
Till Wrong is worsted ana undone,
And Right receives the crown
And in the West the sanguine sun
In triumph has gone down.
To dwell in my eternal home
Desire doth not abate,
But to behold thy kingdom come
] bid my longing wait.
Not mine to alter thy DEGREES,
Nor to assign my task;
But this the day my vision sees,
And this the boon ! ask.

AMERICAN OSTRICH FARMS.
Four in California. While Arizona Has
1000 Birds.

The recent establishing of the Los An
geles District farm within the city limits
of Los Angeles gives California four os-
trich enterprises-the others being at
San Diego. South Pasadena and San
Jose.
The South African farms do not man
ufacture and retail their product, but in
California, says Sunset, the feathers are
grown, manufactured and retailed by the
same concern.
The initia tive in the District industry
was taken about thirty years ago by DIR.
Sketchley, who established a farm al
Anaheim. Later on other men imported
birds and assisted in establishing fhe
business. The greatest development of
the business has been in Arizona, where
there are at present over 1000 birds.
Their product of feathers has been sold
principally to New York manufacturers
There is tendency on the part of the
District feather growers to combine theif
efforts in building up the industry and in
this way give to the southwest distinct
industry characteristic of its climate
and sunshine. At the present time fully
S12.OU0,O00 worth of ostrich feather
goods are sold annually in the United
States, and of this amount California has
sold approximately 100000. which
proves than there is ample field for tas
California producers TO enlarge theil
business.
The cost of manufacturing ostrich
feather is less than in New York, al
though the scale of wages is the same
The difference is due TO the ever present
sunshine and the warm climate. which
makes heating expense a small item.
The California farms can produce.
manufacture and retail their feathers for
fully one-third less than it is necessary
for eastern retailers to charge. There
Is a 90 per GEN.. duty on imported
plumes, boas, etc, which gives the Cali
fornia product great advantage.
The quality of the California proiuc,
is as a rule superior to the grade of
goods commonly retailed throughout the
United States. due to the fact that the
feathers are fresher when they reach the
consumer and retain the life and beauty
which is often destroyed in imported
feathers by the methods pursued n han
ding. packing and shipping. The Califor-
MIA product is sold through the United
States. principally by mail orders. bnl
retail salesro0ms are maintained at she
farms and in the shopping centers OF
L.1s Angeles.

The crews of the submarines of the
United States navy are being transferred
as rapidly as possible to ships which
float high upon the surface. 1t has been
found that owing to the lack OF eating
facilities life is almost uncomfortable on
the diving boats during the winter. This
feature of submarine service may limit
the usefulness of such craft to some ex-
tent; but in actual operations there will
probably be enough patriotic fervor to en-
able the crews to withstand the cold in

The automobile constructed for Lieut..
Shackleton, the Antartic explorer, for
travel over the ice cap of the polar con-
tinent will have runners ON the front
axle and spiked wheels for drivers at
the rear. This is compromise with
conditions which would be of little avail
on the Arctic sea, but it may prove effee-
tive on what are termed ice caps like that
of Greenland and the south polar conti-
nent. If Shackleton meets with success
through its use, the power sled might
possibly be used to carry explorers across
Greenland.
