FIRE DEPARTMENT
BOTHERED BY BOYS

The Fire department at Station No.
2. responded to a call from box 81 at
the corner Of Jefferson avenue and
Twenty-second street. and when it ar.
rived at the place of the supposed
fire. the firemen saw only the fleet
ing forms of two small boys.
The fire department has been troub-
led great deal this summer by some
one In the neighborhood who persists
in this form of amusement. and the
firemen are beginning to tire OF max
ing these hard runs for the entertain
ment of some mischief-loving person
or persons and they are determined
that these practices must cease.
Men are to be appointed who Will
keep an eye on the alarm boxes and
they will have power to arrest anyone
who is caught tampering with the
alarms
There is a suspicion as to who the
boys are who turned In the alarm
yesterday and arrests are likely to
follow.

NEVER HEARD OF ENGLAND.

When the British expedition now
operating in Northern Nigeria has
completed it's work, three hitherto un-
conquered tribes of savages will have
been brought under the dominance of
the white man. These are the Munshis,
the Abadjas and the Okpotos.
So the civilization of mankind goes
on. But it is slow work. For, in
spite of all that has been recently
accomplished. there are still some mil
lions of barbarous folks left in the
world, who owe allegiance to no reg
ular system of government, each do
ing that which is right in his own
eyes.
In the interior of New Guinea, for
instance, there are more than forty
distinct tribes of savages, many OF
them head hunters and cannibals, who
know of the existence of white PEG
pie from hearsay only. They have
never even heard of England!
The Tchuktches of Northeastern ST
IBERIA, although supposed to be subject
to Russia, pay no taxes and recognize
no man as master. Indeed, Harry dc
Windt, who spent some time among
them, discovered that they had never
even heard of the existence of the
Car.
Similarly, DR.. Sven Hedin found il

Gradually, however, order energies
from chaos and the birds set to work
with a will, renovating the old home
or driving new tunnels in the loan,
sand, clay, or even "hardpan.' - The
burrows are usually five to eight feet
in length and about five inches in
diameter, terminating in dome shaped
chamber a foot or more across and
seven or eight inches high. Each tun-

presumably, is occupied by the male

nuptial chamber boasts nothing more
pretentious than a few dead sallal
leaves or handful of dried grasses.
The amount of labor involved in this

sand to a depth of fifteen feet only
to find it empty. This last, 1 take it,

When the female begins to brood hel
