BIG CROP LOSSES
BATTLE FOR INSECT
EATING BIRDS; CLAIM MA
TioN'S WEALTH AT STAKE.


New York, March 30.-Opposed
solely by a designing band of Broad
way feather dealers, the farming
forces of this entire state are today
fighting desperate battle for a law
which will fully protect the wild birds
that they know can alone save their
crops from insect pests. Headed by
the National Association of Audubon
societies and the state grange with
membership OF $4,000 working farm
ers, every agricultural interest in the
empire state is lined up to demand
such measures eto prevent the butch
cry of the insect-eating and non-game
birds as have begun to benefit the
farm lands of Iowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Louisiana, South Carolina,
and West Virginia. Unless the pro-
fessional traders is the scalps of those
slaughtered songsters are now made
to respect the economic value Of their
prey, it is declared, the orchardists
and agriculturists Of the whole coun-
try will soon suffer by the increase OF
every form of insect plague.
Declaring that the valuable bird re

on the different styles and calibers OF
hunting as well as purely military and
target irons and their varying uses, on
ton, on velocity, windage, range and
trajectory, as we'll as on the intricate
science of ballistics. He has chosen
four types of guns for his personal use
during the trip. irons suited to meet
the varying conditions OF highly d.
versified chase. He has the vicious
English Express rifle, 60 caliber, carry
ing lead slug over half inch thick
and two inches long. Used at short
range, this rifles bullet strikes blow
of 5000 pounds on an object. Mr.. Ele-
plant will usually drop dead when a
ton and a half of concentrated energy
hits him on the forehead. 1t is the
weight of the shock and not the veloc-
ity or penetration Of the missile that
makes this weapon inhumanly effec-
tive, and, moreover, the bullet has q
hole at it's tip, causing the lead to
spread or mushroom" when 1t strikes,
tearing an immense hole through a
carcass. The second type Of gun is a
specially constructed shotgun, which
is used as q rifle, for the shell used
therein contains solid lead slug in
stead of small shot. Accurate at short
range and crushingly effective, this
shotgun is used only when the animal
is within fifty or sixty yards distance
Outside that zone the gun is unsafely
inaccurate. Whatever living thing this
bullet hits within its zone will not
stop for repairs; the repair stage will
have passed. The two guns mentioned
are for elephants, appropriateness, lions

the bulk of his camera, he cannot pos

Mearns, u. S. A., as chief naturalist,
assisted by Edmund Heller, the TWEEN
ty-siX-year- old Riverside (Cal) eXplor
er, hopes to discover hitherto unknown
specimens of both animal and vegeta-
bic life. Professor J. A. Loring, as
field naturalist, completes the scien-
tific department. On entering the linn
itless wilds of the dark continent the
party will be recruited up to from 200
to $50 men.
The cost of the equipment of the
members of the party leaving the Unit
ed States amounts to about $4,000 a

ton, camp utensils, rations, khaki and

kets, filters, hunting and skinning

lanterns, bullseye lamps. candles, hot

Seryiceable tents are q chief neces-
sity. The African adventurer should
have tents made of the finest green
waterproof silk, free from defect to
exclude poisonous insects, and the
Roosevelt party is so equipped. AL
though each tent can be raised to a
height of eight feet and holds four
persons, it weighs less than one
pound, including the weight of the
pole, thin telescope pole made of the
best bicycle tubing.
The tents are green to escape at
tracing unduly the attention of roam
ing jungle monsters, who are frequent
ly irritated by the glaring qualities OF
white materials. Rhinoceroses, for in,
stance, have been known to charge at
white tents and crush sleeping inmates
rlthlessly underfoot in the dead OF
night, plunging headlong through en-
tire squads of native attendants.

In the states for which schedules of
the first census remain there were in
1890, 27,340 surnames. OF this number
almost half 1884 names. appeared
but once. thus each represented but
one family.
The analysis by nationality as shown
by names indicates that the English
stock composed S3.5 per cent of all the
white population at the period of the
first census, and If the Scotch and
Irish be added, the British stock rep
resented a little more than 80 per
cent, while the Germans contributed
slightly less than 6 per cent and the
Dutch per cent.
In fact, so great was the British
preponderance in practically all of the
| New England states that the other
nationalities were negligible. In no
other section of the union was the
England, fact strikingly in contrast
with the conditions which prevail in
that section at the present time
Were it feasible to make an analysis
of the population of the southern
states similar to that made from the
schedules Of the first census. In order
to obtain percentages comparable
with it, it is probable that little
change would be noted from the pro-
portions shown In 1890. There has
been a noteworthy preservation in
that section Of the purity of the stock
enumerated in 1890, contrasted with
the extraordinary change in the com.
position of the population taking place
in the remainder of the nation during
the century and more which elapsed
/ from 1890 to 1900.

of fools.

How Bows Arc Punished

Here is 4 method adopted by Hindu
teachers TO bring unruly Hindu boys
to order after ordinary methods of
punishment have failed in most Hindu
schools, as we'll as in Hindu households
containing q number of boys, there is
to be found n block of wood with a
chain attached and known as Il ''thun-
doc" This is riveted around the leg of
a boy with the aid of the nearest black
smith, OF fastened strongly with Irvine
and kept there for n period ranging
from a few hours to as many days, as
the nature of the case may require.
The boy is then exposed to the unsympa-
thetic boots and ieers of other boys
land girls, who enjoy the fun inn
mensely and follow the boy wherever
he goes. The disgrace is very kcenly
felt and a second infliction of the 'thun
doc" is seldom found nccessary.-StranL
