But, nevertheless. there is going to be
something doing in the council when the
special report is made, and it probably
will be done next Monday evening. The
committee has been working every day
with the officials of the Utah Light &
Railway company in regard to a system,
and the plan adopted last week has been
slightly modified.
1t is understood that the gas company.
which first offered to put in lights for
S32 each per year, has come down to S26
In order to do up the Utah Light &
Railway company, and that the opposi-
ton to the committees report will come
from those in the council who favor the
proposition of the Weisbach people.
1t will be a fight between the gas and
electric people, with the chances in ia
vor of the latter. as the franchise for
the street railway also hangs in the bal
ance and many concessions have been
made because of this. In fact. the light
ing question and the franchise problem
have become so closely intermingled that
they are now practically one and the
same thing

A Woman is Not a "PerSOn"

Almost amusing incident recently
occurred in St. Johns, New Bruins

after passing her examination with
high hOnors, was denied permission
to practice law in the Supreme
Court because according to the
Act only persons" were allow

therefore not amenable to the law.
The magistrate found the law to
read that any person found drunk
was liable to fine or imprisonment:
and ruled that according to the
decision of the Supreme Court
women were not persons, and could
not be imprisoned nor fined" so
the prisoner was discharged.
As result the legislature
promptly PASSED and Act"

THE TONGUE OF A BIRD.
An Organ Which Varies Much In the
Different Species.


Few people have given thought TO
the subject OF birds tongues. Many.
even OF the amateur bird students.
know little OF the literature on the
subject and still less from personal OBJ
seryation.
Birds must use their bills as hands.
and to some extent the tongues supple
ment such use. Thus nut and seed
eating birds extract the kernel from
the shell. which Is cracked between
she mandiblcs.
The full complement OF bones OF the
tongue consists OF eight The shape
varies considerably In different species,
and the comparative size very much
more. although there Is a prevailing
general resemblance. The size and de-
vclopment OF the various bones con-
troll the shape and utility of the organ.
Well developed front bones mean a
thick. fleshy tongue. such as we find
I'm members of the duck family. while
small forward bones usually accom-
pany Il small tongue of less Importance
to the owner. sometimes little more
than rudimentary, like that OF the pei
lean.
Among such birds rs have occasion
TO protrude the tongue well beyond the
tip of the bill the hind bones are mar
velously developed and greatly elon-
gated. for these are the bones on which
the tongue is hung.
The edges OF the tongues OF most
birds are more or less fringed. this fea-
ture being most noticeable in thin
tongues. Most birds have greater or
less number of papillac-small fleshy
projections. splnelike in appearance
and usually inclined backward-on the
upper surface Of the tongue. These
are of service in working the food
backward toward the throat.
Some of the sea birds have very sim
pie tongues. which serve bat little pur-
pose. The tongues of the honey creep
ers have very fine and long feathering.
while those of the woodpecker are long.

some species curve clear around the

Birds with long bills do not always
have correspOndingly long tongues.

ton. The missile penetrated the
eye, and the verdict of expert
surgeons and oculiStS was that Lush
would lose the sight of the eve
completely. The wound was
treated and Lush was placed in a
dark room. although his physicians
declared that it was useless to look
for any encouraging results. Sew
eral days afterward a hemorrhage
occurred, which confirmed the
gloOmiest forecasts of the physi-
clans.
Billy Lush happens to be a
young man who has always taken
care of himself. He has avoided
intoxicants and tobacco. and has
made it point to keep his physical
equipment in the best possible
trim, although without attempting
to become a Sandow. Accustomed
to mastering himself, he had no
difficulty in maintaining his cheer
fulneSs in his dark room. even i'm
the face of the discourging reports
of his attendants. At the end of a
week his eye began to mend, and
the physicians, TO their astonish-
ment, saw nature make repairs
which had seemed TO be beyond
her powers. With great rapidity
the healing work continued, until
the sight of the eye was fully re-
stored and even the scar of the
wound was effaced.
1t would be of interest TO know
Just how much weight to place upon
the physical training of this young
athlete in estimating the factors in
his recovery. If the wound would
have destroyed the eyesight of an
ordinary individual, while failing
to do permanent injury to the ball
player, there would seem to be a
lesson in the case we'll worth the
study of boys and young men. -
