Friends of Sparrows.

Rider Haggard classes sparrows with rats as 'vermin" and recon. mends campaign against them. How ever, sparrovs have had plenty of friends in past ages. Catullus' poem about his Lesb.a's pet sparrow is one of the prettiest things in Latin liter ature and in a passage of Plautus sparrow" dove" and hare" occur together as terms of endearment Pepys, too, writes of a pet sparrow: 'ro dinner with my father and sister and family. mighty pleasant, ali of us; and, among other things. with a spar row that our Mercer hath brought up now for three weeks. which is so tame that it flies up and down and upon the table, and eats and pecks, and does everything so pleasantly that We are nightly pleased with it"

'c|7Y COUNCIL 0F DOUGLAS Monthly Meeting Brings Forth Several Matters of
 Importance Fire Department Horses From Fort Worth-More Theater
 Regulations

DOUGLAS. May 5.-(SpeciaD -
 As results of the regular meeting of the city council last night the sal try of the police judge was increased from $50 to S1O0. the controversy be- tween Andy Scott and City Engineer Norton was reopened. the city will buy span horses from a horse mar ket in the east and number of other matters of more or less interest and importance were disposed of.
 After hearing the first report of Pc lice Judge Ben Rice, which covered less than one month, the council con cluded it would be doing a manifest injustice to expect so much work from an official for so little recon pense as $50 a month The report of Judge Rice showed cash fines col lected of s166 and 144s hours of labor from prisoners on the streets. Put. ting fair price on the labor of the prisoners and including their meals and the salary of the police judge iit is believed the police court will be self sustaining all the time.
 Scott Talks Plainly.
 Andy Scott reopened his misunder- standing with City Engineer Norton with the repeated declaration that the city engineer had not given him a square deal. The truth of the mat ter is," said MT. Scott. "Mr. Norton made mistake in his estimate to the council. and, though he promised me personally to do the right thing. he hasn't had the nerve to come up here and admit that he was wrong"
 There was no mincing of matters with Mir. Scott 'Mr. Norton promised me that I would be allowed about ACC yards of dirt at the price of A cents a yard. He not only said he would recommend this but he said he would speak to the aldermen. This he never d'd and instead of being allowed A cents a yard I was allowed but eighteen cents, a claim being made that the dirt was removed for my own convenience. I say that I got a bad deal from Mir. Norton from be ginning to end"

COSTELLO TAX CASE
 NOW IN HIGH COURT

Radium, or rather, radium chlo- ride, for no one has ever seen pure radium, is got by a series of chemical processes in the form of very fine crystals. It is very insignificant look ing. resembling common salt. In the dark it glows like rotten fish, but there appears to be nothing interest ing about it. Yet 1t is a weird sub stance. which may alter our world when we know it better.
 It is called radium because it con- stantly gives out very peculiar rays The principal rays to which we are &C., customed in everyday life are light .ays, but science has shown us that snere are innumerabie other forms ot avs to which our senses are blind.
 By means of the photographic plate
 ge can see things invisible to our
 yes, and radi0n possesses the pow CT of printing photographs in the davk through black paper. Radium exiIts practically everywhere, especially tn deep wells. but in such minute qusn- titles as to be almost beyond tho pow CT of recognition.
 One remarkeable fact about radiuin is that it has the power of making all objects near it luminous. In ths dark the hands and clothes of peI- son handling it will glow. while phos- phorescent substances will become brilliantly luminous. When a micro | scoppic portion is placed against Ger tain materials and greatly magnifod l 1t is seen to Lombard its neighborirg substances with thousands Of flashes of light in a peculiarly weird manner The wonderful thing about radium is that 1t is always about two and three quarters degrees Fahrenheit warmer than its surroundings-that is to say, | 1t Is constantly giving on a slig.t amount of heat.
 A peculiarly is that its powers diminish so slowly that it will retain its efficacy for thousand years. Not only this, but 1t imparts its properties to everything with which it is brought in contact For instance, if a tube vf radium be placed in water the water will issue rays. Not only this. but so will the vessel while any object put in the water will also become charged.
 Radium has most peculiar effects or the human system. It causes horri
 ble sores, which are difficult to heal
 while it will heal some of the most malignant. The man of science who
 was the first to experiment with 1t was rendered so that the skin peeled
 off certain parts of his body, while
 he became unable 10 dress without assistance.
 | 1t will cause complete blindness yet 1t is probable that it will enable certain of the blind to see. A long course of exposure to it's rays will
 cause paralysis of the spinal cord ending in death, yet it is possible to
 prolong life indefinitely by its aid. Some wonderful experiments have
 been conducted in which the lives of
 certain creatures have been prolonged
 for over three times their natural span Actually 1t seems that 1t will
 indefinitely suspend all development l-Pearson's Weekly.

Birds Foresaw storm.

German ofiicer describes in the Rote kreuz a curious scene he wit messed on a ride in southwest Africa. A number of vultures, eagles and oth- CT large birds suddenly gathered on the trees at one place. A few dark clouds were visible, and ere long there was violent tropical storm. The wa ter penetrated into holes in the ground, from which presently emerged large numbers of snakes, scorpions and mice. and these the birds bounced upon and devoured.

 No All-Nlaht Saloons.
 Sixth street saloon men petitioned the council to allow them to remain open all night. AS reasons for their petition they pointed out that their business was almost exclusively al night while the uptown saloons have business all day and early closing does not materially affect them. They also suggested that the all-night sa- looms on the reservation would be an aid to the police as such places being open would tend to concentrate in one section those from whom possible evil doing might be expected. On motion of Alderman Parsons the petition was rejected

Mayor Greene announced that the matter would be reopened at the next meeting when the city engineer would be present.
 Horses From Fort Worth.
 The committee on fire horses was divided as to the span of horses be- ing tried out on the hook and ladder truck. One of the horses has side bones on one leg and this was held to be a material flaw in the horse by Alderman Parsons, who opposed the purchase of the span. Alderman Ram sey seemed rather disposed to buy the horses provided a guarantee for six months would be given by the owner. Fort Worth as a horse market vas suggested by Alderman Ramsey and the discussion over fire horses ended with the decision to send Mr. Ramsey to Fort Worth to buy two fire horses.
 More Theatre Regulations.
 Mayor Greene was of the opinion that the lives of theatre-goers In Douglas are not properly safe-guarded and certain additions to the ord nance regulating moving picture houses and other places of amusements are to be made. One of these Is that no tick cts shall be sold beyond the seating capacity of the play house. This is done to prevent crowding in the rear of the house and standing in the aisles. still another regulation to be made Is that the rear row or seats must be at least ten feet away from the exits.
 Addition to Jail.
 The mayor also introduced the question of the need of more cell room at the city jail. He pointed out that since the inauguration Of the police court the city jail constantly almost has been crowded to such an extent that more room has become imperative His idea was that an other tier of cells should be added to be placed above the present ones. The matter was disposed of by the passage of Alderman Ramsey's mo tion to refer the subject to com mittee with authority to act.
 American barbers of the city pre- sented a petition requesting the coun- cil to close two Mexican shoDs which are running on Sundays. The peti- tjoners said that the two shops com plained of are the only ones keeping open on Sunday. The petition went to a committee.
 Lights Tampered With.
 Marshal East said mat the switches for municipal lights are so placed as to be accessible to small boys and other mischief makers and it was his opinion that the switches should be differently located than at present He thought it would be a good plan if the switches were concentrated in the city hall so that the city could have some supervision over them. He pointed out that it is an easy matter for boys or thieves to turn off the lights to assist them in accomplish ing whatever evil project they have in mind Many of the complaints about lights being out of order. he found upon numerous investigations, were simply due to some mischievous person tampering with the switch. u was decided to take the matter up

1.-The principal aim of q librarian Is
to get the books under his charge into
the hands Of the people who want
them with the greatest degree of ia.
cility commensurate with proper pre-
servation of the books themselves"
declared Librarian Legler.
'As rapidly as the finances will al.
low believe in extending the free-de.
livery stations. The number of branch
Libraries ought also to be increased.
Free home delivery has been tried in
few cities. but 1t is not yet necessary
for Chicago and does not compare
with other and more urgent needs
for what money Chicago has to ex-
pend on it's public library. With the
help of the school officials it is our
hope that the circulation of books in
the juvenile department may be in
creased to a great extent.
More liberal privileges, it would
seem to me, may be extended to card
holders. Elsewhere it is not an IN.
usual custom for patrons of public IL
braries to be allowed the right of
taking out two or three, or even more,
books at one time on one card, pro-
viding they do not attempt to monopo-
lie books for which there appears to
be widespread demand. Here. l am
told. the holder of a card may take
out only one book at time. I think
that system may be changed with due
regard for the convenience of all con.
cerned.
THE general trend everywhere also
appears to be toward increasing the
freedom of admission to book stacks.
However, I want to make it clear that
whatever changes l recommend will
be only after careful consideration
and after obtaining the consent of the
trustees"
