MADE MONEY KILLING BIRDS,
Michigan Man Who Has Slain
Nearly 75O,OOO English
SparrOwS

Louis Gorsline has a peculiar and
unique history. His name and picture
have appeared in both state and ma
tional papers, and thousands of peo-
pie who have never seen him are fa-
miliar with the peculiar points in his
life And this notoriety was achieved.
not in any deed of daring. reckless adj
venture or by having great wealth
thrust upon him by frugal ancestors.
In short he has been the greatest
sparrow hunter in the state. the ma
ton, and, probably, in the world, saws
a recent report
Some years ago he was a trainman
on the old Toledo q Ann Arbor rail
road. He lost his right hand in an ac-
cident at McBain, and when he WINS
able to work the company gave him
place as tlagmap. He was restless to
increase his income, and began to hunt
sparrows, receiving the bounty of two
cents apiece then provided by state
law.
He shot them and trapped them Mt
odd times until he found the work so
profitable that he hired man to do
his work as flagman and gave his
whole time to sparrow hunting. He
afterwards used a preparation in which
he soaked wheat and millet seed, and
two or three kernels of this was enough
to make any sparrow his in few min
utes time. In this way he would take
thousands in day.
Mr.. Gorsline says that he does not re-
member ever finding but one bird aside
from the sparrows that had eaten the
poisoned grain, and that other birds do
not eat grain. He has caught the pests
in nearly every county in the lower
peninsula and has also worked in the
upper peninsula. Over $l4 900 was paid
to him by the state in bounties AVID
nearly three-quarters of a million birds
were Killed by him in the five years he
followed the work as business.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Brick kilns are now fired with petro-
leum, 100 pounds of oil being sufficient
to burn a ton of brick.
At a sanatorium near Melbourne,
massage with olive or cod-liyer oil has
been found great aid in shortening
the time of treatment for consump-
ton.
A notable feature of Wyoming
scenery is the predominance of shrubs.
Among l24 species Of woody plants less
than one-sixth are certainly to be
ranked as trees.
1t is only within the last 60 years
that coal has been mined on large
scale in France. In 1860 the output
was only 100000 tons. In 1843 it was
barely 100000 tons. Last year it was

The aggregate capitalization Of the
industries at rittsburg, Pa, is more
than two billion, five hundred million
dollars. The production of steel at
Pittsburg, in 1901, equaled half that of

DIR. Patrick Manson has recently
shown that Chinese tobacco often con-
tans appreciable quantities Of arsenic,
introduced apparently mainly with tho
idea of giving the weed garlic flavor.
The belief is gaining ground in English
medical circles that the presence of
arsenic in tobacco and food products
is responsible for the great increase in
the number Of cases of cancer.
The sky within the orbit of Mercury
was carefully photographed at the Lick
observatory during the 1901 eclipse,
in the hope that the hypothetical
planet of Leverrier and others might
be discovered. Later examination of
the negatives has practically proven
that no such body exists. An object
Of sufficient size to produce the OBJ

that it may have been hidden by the

The Mnad ANA the rli1e

Once upon time there was a fair
young girl who had many suitors, but
she received them all with equal gra-
ciousness and waited for her affec-
tions to dictate which should be the
especially favored one.
Finally, she heard that rich uncle
of one OF her wooers had died leaving
him clear and unencumbered title to
many acres of very valuable land.
When next she met the young man she
showed quite plainly that her affec-
tions had begun to dictate.
The result was that they were mar
ried when the next June came around.
