EDIsoNs CONCRETE HousE.

From the. Kansas City Times.
 Mr. Thomas A. Edison-on his own au- thority this time-has completed his mod el and inventions for the construction of cheap concrete houses It should be re- membered that when this possibility was first announced, perhaps year and a half ago, MT. Edison protested that it was premature. For this reason the fact that this is the second announcement of the same character should not discredit the claims of the inventor
 Perhaps, after all, this genius who has contributed so vastly to the convenience of the world, the facility of business and the comfort of mankind .by his inventions in electricity may have solved a still greater problem for his race in this cheap home device. If it is true that he can make of concrete, at a cost of S12OO. A house that would cost $25,0O0 if made of stone, then the age of concrete dwell ings is near at hand. For there is no reason why buildings of such construction should not be made sufficiently attract i've to take the place of stone and wood- en houses, especially in the class of the more modest dwellings. And no one knows the possible extent of MT. Edison's service in counteracting the extortions of the lumber trust and the destruction of American forests

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Plea For zooIoalcal Park.

While there is so much being done and said about City Beautiful, while we are organizing block improvement so- cieties, planting flowers, pulling down fences, sometimes at the risk of ineurring enmity of neighbors; while we are keep ing enthusiasm at fever heat, our real need to make Birmingham not only beautiful city for the present, but to lay the foundation for the greater, more progressive residence city is lost sight of," said a citizen interested in mu- nicipal affairs.
 "The flowers we plant this year, the little trees and rosebushes we so low ingly tend, the yards on which we coax a lawn like velvet may be neglected and forsaken tn anotber year if there should happen to be a change made in the own ership or tenant of the house, but if we began by opening and widening streets, providing for parks, driveways and boule- wards now. while vacant property can be had wherever it is wanted, that would be a true beginning of a City Beau tiful.'
 "A little band of enthusiastic women on the Northside are circulating peti- tions asking that the strip of ground beginning at Thirteenth avenue on Twen- ty-tirst street adjoining and including the old reservoir be purchased by the city and made into a geological garden. There could not be d piece of ground within our city more suitable for such a park. That we need zoo must be admitted by everybody. Nature studies are propa- gated by all schools, teachers. lecturers on animal life, principals close schools lon circus day, so the children may see the animals and see the crowds of ehil- dren around the cagesl What keen pleas ure they manifest How they watch every move of the anmalsl Think, then, of the pleasure their very own animals in their own zoo. provided for them by their own city would give. Why, one single circus carries enough money out of our city to buy the pace for zoo here.
 Everyone who loves Birmingham be- lieves in her future and is willing to help make her great ought to help estab- fish this park

Evils of the Fee System

The discussion of the fee brigade by Chief of Police Bodeker should be read and reread by every citizen, for 1t is straightforward statement by man of wide experience in criminology in this county. He knows all the ins and outs of the fee system and he points them out in a convincing and detailed manner.
 With the fee system cut out, says the chief, 'it is my honest opinion that but one-half the usual number in the county jail would be there" This is not a mere guess of an anna teur-it is the confirmed opinion of T man who has been a part of the police department of this city many years.
 Trivial arrests and the fee system go together. How they are worked in harness Chief Bodeker explains, as follows:
 For each subpoena issued the clerk re- ceives 25 cents, while the sheriff receives 25 cents for serving it. This is all added to the costs, which must either be paid by the defendant or the county. By the time the costs are added up they amount to not less than $37 50 in the smallest cases. For instance, there have been a number of cases where negro was arrested for some small thing, and who was fined only s1 had this amount of costs against him. Then notice the hundreds of cases in which the defendant is discharged, throw ing all of this heavy cost on the county"
 Chief Bodeker explains the various offices and he demands salaries not only in the sheriff's office, but in every other branch of the governmental the city courts, circuit courts, probate courts, justice of the peace courts, coroner's office, and all other county offices.
 This can be brought out in one way only-the election of legislators who will support it. The aspirants for Dr. Lovelady's seat hesitate to explain their position on the fee issue, but the people will not wait beyond June in bringing out candidate who will stand for statewide substitution of salaries for fees in all county offices.

Boy Carries Silver Dollar In His Hand
 For Seven Years.

From Dodson (La.) Times.
 From those intimately acquainted with the Individual and the circumstances con- nected with the case, we learn that there is an S-year-od boy in Pollock, Grant Parish addicted to the odd habit of car rying a silver dollar in his hand. The freak was adopted in his early youth and seems to have become second nature with him.
 It seems that when quite aslittle baby he was desperately i'll and one day his uncle. to quiet him, slipped this special dollar in his hand and grasping it tight ly he held it for hours, it's possession seeming to exert a soothing influence over him. Later when they attempted to re- move it he protested vigorously and not to disturb him. he was permitted to re- tain it. All through his long illness he clung to the coin, grasping it in his hand and never letting it go. and when he recovered he still kept 1t in place, and up to the present and through the years that have passed he holds to his strange talisman, its possession necessary to his peace of mind.
 The coin, which is worn thin and smooth and devoid of lettering, is carried in his palm, embedded in the flesh and held in place by the last two fingers of his hand, while the other two fingers and the thumb are employed in his daily affairs. This arrangement seemingly does not inconvenience him in his everyday life. However the fingers thus employed have not grown stiff or useless but may be worked as freely as the others, and when asked to, he will open his hand and permit others to examine the coin at pleasure, but always replaces it at once and goes about his business as un. consciously as though he had merely slipped d ring upon his finger. Neverthe- less he has grown so sensitive of Its pres ence that any attempt to remove it from his hand at night while he sleeps will immediately awaken him. He is well grown and sturdy youth, possessed of all boyish attributes and is apt in his studies at school, but night and day, in his boyish play with schoolmates and when engaged in any work assigned him, he carries his treasure in place, never dropping or losing it or suffering it to leave his sight or possession for any length of time and strange to say, it can not be substituted by another dollar or piece of metal, his touch detecting it's absence immediately.
 It is hoped as he grows older he will abandon this peculiar habit, but there are those who know him best. who contend that he will never give it up unless forced to do so when the present coin is entirely worn out. Albeit, he still clings to the thin, worn piece of metal he has carried all these years and which seems to have become a part of himself.
