Charles Davis of 915 Quincy street,
while watching the river from Melan
bridge saw little bird struggling in
trouble. The incident attracted con-
siderable attention and favorable
comment from the people who were
also watching the river.
About o'clock several of the spec
tators noticed an object. evidently
alive, floating and struggling in the
water near the bank just west of the
north end of the bridge. ITS a fish
which has come to the surface on ac-
count of the muddy water said sever
al. NO" cried others, ''its a turtle"
However, it was soon learned that the
creature was a bird. The little thing
made a desperate struggle against
the current with wings and feet and
tried to reach the shore. Several
times it reached the bank and had
almost gained d foothold when the
stream would sweep it out again.
Meanwhile Mr.. Davis watched the
unequal battle from his position at
the north end of the bridge. AS the
current swept bird under the bridge
he ran down the bank on the east
side. The bird came in sight and
headed for the shore. AS soon as it
came in reach. the rescuer bent over
and took the little creature out of
the water The bird was thoroughly
soaked and seemed almost exhausted.
He took it home with him and says
he may keep it for a pet.

The complete success Of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene. or coal oil.' as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey. and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all. as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly. the new fuel was
handled without any precautions. and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew OF the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour. the White was the only car per.
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall. where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly. the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con.
venient. and not once during the trip
through the ten States Of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally. the
