matter OF conjecture.
Thousands upon thousands OF birds
arc killed every year by striking
against the panes OF the lighthouses
which line the coasts of lakes and
seas. The birds become bewildered by
fox and rain and are attracted by tho

ures OF bird mortality are startling.
The student Of the birds finds himself
wondering when no contemplates tho
slaughter in the bird ranks duo TO the
shotgun. and the killings duo to Cog
and storm. that the question Of the
migration Of the birds does not cease
to be Of interest because there arc NO
birds left to migrate.

weeks passed and the Nola Chuckians
and their friends began to complain
about the mails. And no wonder. The
postmaster, 1t seemed, had sent out no
mail since his entrance into office.
"An inspector, investigating the mat.

Who shall explain the mystery of

at the first pulsing OF the spring and
at the first chilling of the fall the
great bird army takes up its march of
migration. Why?
For centuries scientists have been

swers have been given by the score.

REED PATENTS A
RAILROAD TIE
Is of Metal and Considered
The Best That Can
Be Found.
PECULIARLY CONSTRUCTED
is CROOKED AND FITS IN ROAD
BEDS WITH SUCH FIRMNESS
THAT VIBRATION is LOST
SERVICE A QUALITY.

John A. Reed. a we'll known me
chanc residing at 20 Richmond av-
enue, is receiving numerous offers
from corporations for device which
he has been working on for years and
on which he has just secured patent.
Mr. Reeds friends and the few bust
ness agents who have seen she device,
which is a steel railroad tie, are OF the
opinion that he has by this invention
a fortune at his command.
1t is pointed out that wood ties have
never been satisfactory because they
are only good for d certain number of
years. It is also pointed out that ow-
able supply Of lumber. wood rails will
in few years have almost the same
market value as steel ties.
Mr.. Reeds tie is made in a crooked
shape, the bend occurring in the center
of the tie. The middle of the tie is
grOoved so that it will fit we'll into d
bed Of gravel or cement. He contends
that the crook in the tie makes it I'M
yielding and. consequently, eliminate
the vibration. which tends to spring
the rails.
On the outside the rails are securely
fastened TO the ties by rivetS which
are raised out of the ties, thus secur-
ing firm fastening. On the inside
the rails are securely held in place by
solid piece of steel sheeting which
fits above and below the base of the
rail and firmly holds it against the
outside rivets.
There have been several kinds of
steel ties invented but experts who
have seen the Reed tie say it is by
far the best one on the market being
OF simple device at the same time per
fectly secure. practical and Servicable.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Reed
will organize d stock company to
manufacture his tie or whether he will
sell the patent TO some of the concerns
which are now negotiating for it, 1t
IS thought probable that he will sell
his patent and it is an assured fact
that 1T will bring handsome figure

NO TRIALS AS YET
Night Rider Cases in Kentucky
Postponed for Some
Time.
ATTORNEYS ARE NOT READY

Murray. Ky, April 2s-Attorneys in
the night rider cases, seven of which
are set for today, conceded yesterday
! that none of the cases would go to trial
at this term of court, which ends Sat
urday. The defense will not be
ready, and the commonwealth will be
unable to force a trial This will
cause much disappointment, as many
people believed it important that at
least one case be tried at the present
term. County Judge Wells, who made
an attack on Editor A. J. Jennings. of
! the Murray Ledger accusing him of be
ing in league with the night riders
will be the subject of severe criticism
in an article under the caption Law
and Order and the Greed of Gold" in
this weeks Ledger.
