OUR PAMPERED SPARROWS.

Apparently prosperity has the same evil effect
upon the lower orders Of life as upon the human
family. If all were wealthy there would he no
hewers of wood and drawers of water and
while much of the drudCery has been taken
from many kinds of labor, thereby increasing
the comfort of the individuals engaged in those
lines of work. it has always been true. and
probably will always continue to be true that n
great majority of the inhabitants of the world
are forced to engage III what might be referred
TO as the lower grades of employment In the
case of our animal friends also necessity is n
great incentive TO labor. Every householder
knows that the pampered feline will NOT he the
one most energetic in destroying the lives of its
hereditary enemies. the mouse and the rat and
the house dog which is treated with too great
consideration loses its value as a means of
protection against burglars being disposed to
look upon all humanity as its friends.
It is more than painful, however to learn that
even the sparrows have succumbed TO luxury
After all that has been done by the public to
protect them from the small boy and the air
gun, II might be supposed that the sparrow fam
lily would rise to the occasion when the oppor-
tunity came. On the contrary, In this crisis so
the experts say, they refuse to serve us Among
the arrivals in this city a day or two ago were
colony of white moths which gather in the
branches Of trees and give object lessons In
rapid multiplication. The first suggestion was
that the sparrows grateful for favOrs received
and hopeful of others yet to come would turn
to and eat the insect pests. But the local scen-
lists now tell us that the birds are so well fed
without any effort on their part, that they de-
spise such menial labor grubbing for in
sects and moth eggs If the sparrows don't take
advantage OF the opportunity and il is not pos
sible to cut off their food supply and encourage
their tagging ambitions, there seems TO be
nothing 10 do except to follow the precedent
established when there is scarcity of human
labor-encourage immigration.

"WASPS OF WAR"
serve.

General Bruins belief that the aeroplane will
prove superior TO the dirigibe balloon for mill
tary service derives exceptional interest from
the fact that the country of which he is Min
lister of War originated the second of these two
types of airship. 1t was Major Renard of the
French army, who first attempted TO propel
cigar shaped gas bag through the air.
Perhaps further demonstration of General
Bruins theory that the aeroplane is less vulncr-
able than the dirigfble balloon is necessary. but
he is unquestionably eight in pronouncing the
former swifter than the latter. On his sensa-
tiOnal tour about Germany a few weeks ago
Count Zeppelin travelled at a rate not exceed
ing twenty-five miles an hour though In short
flights made by him a speed of fully thirty miles
attained. Orvlle Wright, Latham and
BIeriot have all been able to fly forty-fve miles
or more an hour. Superiority in this respect
of course, facilitates any form Of attack for
which an airship may be employed, and recog-
milton OF the fact inspires General Bruins happy
designation of the aeroplane-"a wasp OF war"
Moreover, If military airshps should not
be employed TO drop torpedoes on an enemy. but
merely for scouting or the transportation Of an
officer in emergencies, those which could fly the
fastest would still have n strong rccommenia-
ton 10 favor.
Professor Newcomb once declared that any
increase in the size OF aeroplane would be
the size Of drigible balloon. Professor New
combs high standing as a mathema tician justl-
fies ready acceptance Of the statement but
the limitation which he imposed on the develop
ment of the heavier than-air machine may. after
all prove an advantage. not Il disadvantage.
If small aeroplane. like one of the Wrights',
will do the work for which 1t is designed. why
waste money on large one? Perhaps the most
valuable lesson afforded by Count Zeppens
work will he it's illustration OF the folly OF
adopting elephantine proportions.
If one were 10 consider the radius Of action
of the two types OF airship making n compari-
son between the best specimens OF each which
the world has Yet seen. the aeroplane- might
seem inferior TO its rival. Wilbur Wright re-
maned aoft about two hours one day last
year, and Count Zeppelin claims to have made
a voyage lasting thirty hours. No one
knows, however, what is the limit OF the dis
tance which an aerOplane travel With n
larger fuel supply than the Wrights, Latham and
Bleriot have yet carried 1t would he possible TO
fly much further than they have attempted 10
go. The speed which they develop, Of course,
magnifes the distance which they can traverse
Besides. il will probably be feasible TO transport
aeroplane by rail, army wagon or.ship nearly
TO the point where it is TO be used-something
quite impossible with colossal rigid dirigible
balloons like Zeppelin II. The time for esu-
mating the radius Of action Of the aeroplane
has evidently not yet arrived.

JURORS AND THEIR QUALIFICATIONS.


The efforts which are being made for a second
trial of Patrick Calhoun in San Francisco will
inevitably suggest some speculation upon the
efficiency of our jury system. We are told that
net a single juror was secured in the first week
of the trial. although four hundred citizens
were summoned for service. Judging from that
experience, many weeks may eIapse and thou
sands of taIesmen may be examined before the
court succeeds in bringing twelve good men into
a box" an achievement i'm which, according to
Brougham, 1.-The whole machinery of the State,
all the apparatus of the System, end" The
examination of jurors may thus occupy far more
time than the examination Of witnesses and all
the rest Of the trial Now, this is an exceptional
trial. doubt, and for that reason the en-
panelling of a satisfactory jury may be more
than ordinarily difficult. We have often seen
similar difficulties and delay IN securing Jurors
in Newly ork, especially in sensational murder
trials. But the question naturally arises. since
it seems 10 he so difficult to get just jurors
III these few cases. whether Just jurors are
secured In the many other cases in which twelve
men are empanelled without delay
1t viii also be asked If IL Is really true that
only one man in hundred or perhaps in a tbou-
sand is qualified to serve as a Juror in This
or any other case. If according to the process
Of elimination and selection now practlsed only
few score or few hundred men in n CITY of
hundreds OF thousands eligible for jury duty
il will be asked whether the result is indeed a
trial of the prisoner by jury of his peers" IL
only one man In hundred is acceptable that
fact implies a regrettable reflection upon the
intelligence, the integrity or the fnirmindedness
of the nnety-nne
