Orders by Pigeon Post.

An entirely practical use of homing
pigeons was cited recently in the Lon
don Daily Mail. The inventor of the
system is butchers son, who employs
his birds regularly to carry orders
from outlying districts-presumabl
where there are no telephones-to his
fathers shop. The plan works excel
lently.
When the boy goes to collect orders,
he takes six Of his fastest birds in a
trap with him. After he has gone a
mile or two and collected a dozen or
ders, he liberates a pigeon with the
slips enclosed in a little metal case
attached to the birds foot Before
five minutes have elapsed these orders
are in the delivery wagon on the way
to the customers.
At the various stages of his round,
which usually takes three hours, the
other birds with more orders are set
free, and by the time the shop is reach.
ed all the orders received by this pig
compost have been dispatched.

NEW YORK, June 24.-There was
no let-up today in the severity of the
heat wave which has afflicted New York
city since Monday, causing the death of
dozen or more persons and many pros
trationS.
The day started with promise of a
greater degree of torridity than has yet
been experienced, and as the sun neared
the meridian the promise was more than
fulfilled. Two deaths from the heat were
recorded before the morning was half
over and the hospitals treated many
cases of prostrations.
Wednesday night the nearby beaches
were strewn with sleepers The parks
also were sleeping grounds for large
numbers. The suicide of n woman who
jumped from a house roof was attrib-
uted to the heat \ Brooklyn man. a

PAYING GERMAN PIPER.
EurOpe's Most Powerful Nation Lives

Europe's Most Powerful Nation Lives
by Grace of Money-Lenders.
The piper to whose lively tunes the
German empire has been dancing mer4
r1ly for so many years has sent in
his BILL and the nation or the nation s
representatives, though quite willing
to go on with the dancing, are by no
means prepared to settle up, the New
York Times says. Prince Buelow, who
has naturally been held responsible
for the entertainment and for the ex-
pense thereof, is disguised and dis
couraged, and it is now formally an.
nounced, as it has been often predict
ed, that he will insist on his resigna-
ton.
There are three essential elements
in the German financial situation:
CD a rapidly increasing expenditure
far outrunning the actual income; (2)
a rapidly growing debt, from which
In great part current expenses have
been met; CD system of taxation
wholly unequal to annual require
ments and framed largely to benefit
the land owners on the one hand,
while leaving their property largely
unburdened on the other. The chief
objects of expenditure have been pub
lie works, especially canals, the army
and Notifications and the navy and
a good deal of money has been spent
much of it wasted-on the various
colonial enterprises, which have been
very costly, and only recently show
any signs of paying for themselves.
But, as in every other modern coun-
try, there has also been in Germany
a strong tendency toward a general in
crease in the scale of expenditures.
Living has become much more costly.
The old German thrift and economy
are disappearing, all branches of the
public service are more expensive and
the treasury has for years been un-
able to make both ends meet. The
gap has been filled by borrowing. The
most powerful and prosperous nation
of Europe has been for a long while
in the humiliating position of depend
ing upon the money lenders to pay
its day-by-day requirements. Natur-
ally, its credit has suffered and it has
to pay more for it's loans than many
a third-rate country.
