AN AMERICAN MONOPOLY.
Worlds Supply of Humming Birds Con.
fined to This Hemisphere.

Though the art museums of Europe
may have some treasures of which
America cannot boast, our continent
hat the distinction of a monopoly of
the worlds supply of humming birds,
tho gems of all the feathered creation.
OF these there are said to be some
four hundred species-the four hundred
we may well call them,-nearly all Of
which are peculiar to the tropical re-
gions. Only eighteen cross the bor-
ders of the United States from Mexico.
and occur only in our Southwestern
States, says Outing.
The popular idea Is that the humme
lives only on honey. gathered from
flowers. This is a mistake. h bird
does secure some honey, but its food
consists mainly of the small insects
which frequent the flowers Some of
these insects are Injurious to the bios
som. and the tiny bird fulhls a useful
function in destroying them. That the
hummer is Aa%sectivorous is also shown
by its habit of catching tiny insects
on the wing, which is occasionally OBJ
served.

DOCKS FILLING WITH MUD,
SAYS PHlLA. SHIPPER,
Quaker City Commerce Threatened by
Indifference of Council
b

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. est is use
less for the port of Philadelphia to contend
that It has a thirty-foot channel so long
as city councils permit its docks to shoal
up. What it really has to offer to COM
merce is the depth of its docks. and no
more
IL. P. Dixie, of the Southern Line. made
this declaration in discussing councils neg
lect Of the imperative needs of the port.
AS a practical steamship man, he pointed
out that the policy of councils is disas-
trously affecting the commerce of the port,
as 1t already has continued to the point
where vessels engaged IN trade here are
affected; and he further declares that il
is impossible, under existing conditions, tc
expect larger vessels to enter the port.
I'm reality" said Mr.. Dixie, "Philadei-
phia can offer accommodations TO vessels
OF only twenty-feet draugbt. It will be
commended that there is thirty feet of water
from Christian street to Delaware Bay, but
what does that matter to the general com
merce Of the port If the docks have no
none than twenty feet of water?
What the government is doing in the
Improvement of the channel from Chris
tan street to deep water is, to a very
large degree, unavailing, SO far as the In
terests of this port are concerned. For
what is the value OF a thirty or a thirty
flve-foot channel If, when vessels reach
the port, they encounter shoals within the
pier headline and docks that hav filled
up until there is but twenty feet of
Water?"

NEW RULINGS
IMPORTANT DECISIONS BY
COMMERCE BOARD.
Caretakers travelling to Expected Con-
signments Not Eligible
to Fare Favors.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga number Of
administrative rulings have just been
issued BY the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. involving questions of importance
affecting the operation of the Interstate
Commerce law.
1t is held that employees Of produce
companies must pay full fare In travelling
to points on the carriers lines where they
expect to secure consignments and become
earetakers; that the limitation of the rates
to shipments handled by steam power as
against those handled by electric power is
unlawful and must be eliminated from the
tariff. The commission adheres to It's
previous ruling thai carriers must exhaust
their legal remedies to collect undercharges
from ~consignees before filing their petit
lions for redress. Among the rulings are
the following:
A shipment consigned to one point was
reconsigned en- route TO another, the tariffs
then In effect containing no reeonsignment
privilege. As a consequence local rates to
and from the reconsigning point were APP
piled and made higher than the through
rate. Held. under subsequent tariff that
did not reduce rates, but incorporated a
reconsignment privilege, that the benefit
of such privilege could not be applied
retroactlvely to a previous shipment and
IL NC uNNtPASO aE IN max y q IL
fund on special reparation docket.
The granting by carriers OF commissions
TO persons acting as c~ousignees on import
merchandise is a practise that cannot BIZ
sanctioned.
The commission has no poEer TO relieve
carriers from the obligations of tariffs pro-
vidlng for demurrage charges, on the
or 'n.,d that such charges have been oc-
casjoned by a strike.
Where stock in one railway company is
by another railway company, hut
both maintain separate organizations ard
report separately to the commission, they
nay not lawfully carry freight free for
each other.
When, after complaint made and before
bearing, u rate Is reduced TO the sum
demanded by the complainant, the order
disposing Of the proceeding shall require
the maintenance OF that rate as a maxi
mum for not less than two years.
A tariff was led without naming a date
on which 1t was take effect. Does it boz
come effective, and, II so. when Held.
tina the tariff was unlawful and has never
taken effect.

The government of New York city will
spend more than twice MS much in the
coming year az the Government of the
United States spent In the year before the
Civil War. says Golfers. As late as 1877.
only thirty years ago, the expenditures
of the National Government, aside from
interest on public debt, were less Than
those of New York city now. That in
ciuded the whole cost of the army and
navy, pensions. public buildings, river
and harbor Improvements, the diplomatic
service. the care Of the indians, the sup
port Of the President, Congress and the
entire civil service, and all the incidental
expenses OF a nation Of nearly fifty mill
lion people. At the present time ia. whole
empire of Japan runs its government aside
from interest on It's war debt, for a nttie
over two-thirds the cost of running the
municipal government of the city of New
York. That navy which some European
observers think Is going TO swallow our
own COSTS less than $751; 900 a year for
ordinary expenses, with an extra allow
ance last year of a little over IS 1908. 900
more. That army which won the greatest
three battles Of modern times costs about
S25, 100000. New York pays more for
public schools alone than japan for her
army and nav combined. Perhaps hat
comparison may be a credit to New York.

1t is also suggested that other can
didates for alderman may be brought
into the contest by the primary vote,
but it is believed that the principal
vote will be polled for the candidates
named on the primary ticket.
The result of the primary election
will be far from determining the COM

Ticket Considered Strong.
In connection with the suggestion
that Mr.. Morey may be urged to al

The ticket, however. as it now stands

candidates are already busily aged
