DEPOT PLANS HAY.
Nothing Definite Yet." Says Genera
Manager L'Hommedieu.


Preliminary plans looking to the
erection OF a magnificent union pas
senger station on the Michigan Cen
| trail main line somewhere between FIJI
tecnth and Twentieth-st. will be dis
cussed at a conference between Gen
eral Manager LHommedieu. OF the
Michigan Central. and the superinten
dents and engineers Of the road
Wednesday morning.
1T will be some time before definite
plans are formulated says Mr.
| I,'Hommedieu. 1T is a foregone con
clusion that IL will not be merely a
Michigan Central station. just as 1t is
foregone conclusion that the tunnel
will not be used exclusively by this
road
Mr.. L'Hommedieu admits that the
location mentioned has been prac'
tically decided on as being the most
convenient to the tunnel. But before
going ahead with the depot plans II
will be necessary, he saws. TO take
IN track arrangements. subways and
necessary street and alley closings.
When this Is done the Michigan Cen
trail will figure out what kind OF q
depot IL needed.
That the new depot will be on par
with the big stations In other large
cities is certain. There will probably
he a large entrance hall descending
gradually into a subway. where the
various tracks will he reached by
steps.
AS to the cost. Mr.. LHommedieu
saws he cannot say whether II will be
"a .0OO. 900 or si0,00O.000. In any event
n will be such station as to require
two or three years to build.

A. Smart submitted the report OF
the special committee, headed oy
Frank Dancer, which investigated the
situation In Cleveland, Several mem
bers OF the Fifty complimented the
subcommittee on, care and fairness
shown in compiling its report.
The committee found that under
the leadership of Tom L. Johnson
Cleveland for several years has been
in the midst OF constant agitation re-
sultant upon the effort TO secure mu'
nicipal ownership Of its street ran
WAYS and a three-cent fare. Inc
holding plan Is discussed at length.
During this period" says the re-
port. when every effort was being
made to demonstrate the possibility
of a three-cent fare, transfers were
cut off. wages lowered and the service
reduced approximately % per cent.
This radical curtdlment In service
was followed by a spontaneous resent
ment by the people. From
various sources the committee gath
cred that the people Of Cleveland are
changing their demand for cheap
rides and coming to the viewpoint
that good service and necessary extern
sions are the most important matters.
The holding company, after operating
six months. had become so involved
in debt that it's affairs were placed
in the hands of a receiver Nov. 10.
1908. While Mayor Johnson assured
the committee that he still believes in
three-cent fares. he also tacitly admit.
ted that he has abandoned hope of
getting anything better now than a
maximum rate Of seven ickets Tor
quarter.
The committee quotes f. l.. aft, OF
Cleveland, TO the effect hat while
practical municipal ownership was In
operation, there was strong ten
dency to let out the old. experienced
employees and give the places TO others
for political interests.
The report, as whole, was rather
a knock for municipal ownership.

Why Cats Fall on Feet

conscious effort on the part of the
animal
The opinion is that the tail plays
an important part in the turning
process. "All tree-inhabiting monkeys
have long tails" says this authority,
and there is not the slightest doubt
that the tail is the greatest possible
advantage to all climbers in helping
them to turn. 1t also acts as a good
balancer You may see a squirrel
walk along tightly-stretched wire or
string, swinging its tail from side to
side, just as tight-rope walker bal
ances his pole.
Some years ago | had some rats
whose tails had been cut off, and they
were not such good climbers Hs orci-
nary rats And 1t Is just the same
with monkeys; those which have not
long tails are not so good at climbing
and cannot leap to the same extent.
1t is noticeable that monkeys which
have given up climbing. trees have
lost their tails"

We hear much about forging to the

1t is the hanging on more than the
particular hold that counts. The man

who has hold of the tail as the one
hanging on to the horn: besides, he
can hold on better and is in less

SWIFTER THAN THE PIGEON.
Swallow Easily outdistanoes compan.

plegne and Antwerp.

A citizen Of Antwerp has put to a
test the celebrity and homing instinct
of the swallow as compared with
pigeons. London correspondent OF
the New York Sun says. He caught
swallow in its nest under his roof at
Antwerp, made red mark on its
feathers and sent the bird with con.
signment of $50 carrier pigeons by
train to Compiegne, in northern
France, distance of lat miles.
The birds were released there sim.
ultaneously at 7:15 the next morning
The swallow without the slightest hes
itation made for the north. and dis.
peared like fash. The pigeons cir
cled laboriously around before decid-
Ing which direction they should take.
The swallow reached its nest in
Antwerp in 67 minutes, while the
pigeons took four hours and seven
minutes to cover the distance. In
other words, the messenger of spring
flew at the rate of nearly 1872 miles an
hour, while the speed of the pigeons
only slightly exceeded 35h miles an
