ELIZABETHAN WRITER'S

Although, as was pointed out in a re-

Elizabethan man Of letters was wretch
edly remunerated for his masterpieces.
it is interesting to note, writes cor
respondent, that as the seventeenth
century went on the rates increased.

Kindness" later in the century Shad-

himself lucky to get for any of his
dramas. His Virgil brought him
more. for Tonson, his publisher, was
able to pay him 1920 for it,

scale of payment became somewhat in
ratio TO the authors popularity. Five

"FATHER OF APACHES"
PASSES AWAY IN PARIS
Arthur Dupin Called by Death
at Advanced Age

Arthur Dupin. the father of the
Apaches" has just died in Paris. He
was feunletonist who wrote stories
for the Paris press after the style of
Fenimore Cooper. One of his early
contributions. entitled Les Apaches de
BeueVille.' made such an impression on
the criminal classes of that notorious
Paris suburb that by common consent
they adopted the name of the redskin
tribe. relates the New York Sun.
From that time on the fraternity
professed q grim sort of affection and
respect for NJ. Dupin. TO whom they
considered themselves under an obli-
CATION. One of their leaders. known
as the doctor" was told off to- visit
the feuilletonist periodicals., and keep
him informed of the happenings in their
ranks and furnish him with material
for fresh stories.
Dupins Office. spied a detective who
he knew was on the lookout for him,
so he went back, appropriated a fur
overcoat and top hat belonging to the
proprietor of the journal on which Du
pin was employed and strOlled calmly
past the unsuspecting sleuth. The ar
ticles were brought back the next
morning. but their irate owner refused
TO wear them again and called in the
police. who arrested "the doctor" After
that the Apaches were less demon
strative in their affection for their
father"

MAN EATS TWENTY-FIVE
TONS IN SEVENTY YEARS
Vast Amount Consumed by HUI
man Being in Lifetime

II d man OF 20 years was starving,
it would probably be little comfort to
him to think that he had consumed in
the course of his life 5SS4 tons of solid
food and 42sa tons of liquid. or about
1880 times his own weight in both
solids and liquids, but it would be true.
says the New York sun.
Being a man OF average appetite and
purse he would have eaten Is tons of
bread. which would have made a sin
gle loaf containing 100 cubic feet and
appearing about as large as the aver
sge suburban home and on this bread
he would have spread one ton of butter.
II his bacon had been cut in a single
slice the strip would have been four
miles long. and his chops placed end TO
end would have extended two miles.
Twenty ordinary sized bullocl<s have
supplied him with beef IS tons of
which he has eaten. along with FIVE tons
of dsh and 10000 eggs and $50 pounds
Of cheese. If he had elected to have
all his vegetables served at once they
would have come to him in q train Of
cars, the pod containing all his peas
being more than three miles long.
He has had 5000 pounds of sugar,
l.500. pounds of salt. eight pounds of
pepper and 100 cans of mustard. Three
pints or liquid a day would have
amounted TO 500 pints, or 42$4 tons.
II he had been a smoker he would have
burned about haIf ton Of tobacco in
pipe. or if ne preferred cigarettes
would have smoked about 250,0o0.

VESSEL IS MISSING
ON Alaska COAST
Steamer Farallon Leaves VAL
dez for Western Ports and
Fails to Arrive
Run Commenced Twenty -eight
Days Ago Should Have
Ended January 6

SEATTLE, Jan. SO.-Anxiety is felt
here for the safety of the Alaska
steamship company's steamer Farallon,
which sailed from Valdez, Alaska, for
ports to the westward 2S days ago
and has not been spoken since The
Farallon took the run of the mail
steamer Dora. which came TO Seattle
to undergo repairs and arrived back
at Valdez today. 1t is the intention of
the owners TO send the Dora out in
search of the Farailon at once
The Farallon was bound for Dutch
harbor with stops at Port Graham
and Kodiak, and should have reported
at Kodiak January 6. Ten days TO
Dutch harbor and the same time for
the return trip is the usual schedule
for the steamer on this run.
If the Farallon is not reported within
a few days the revenue cutter Scout.
which is at Juneau. will be asked TO
search for the vessel.
-Four years ago the steamer Dora
was out 38 days on the same run 1t
was blown south by the storms and
finally put into the strait of Juan de
Fuca with it's coal supply exhausted.

British Columbia needs lumbermen,
skilled and unskilled, at once. Mani
toba needs skilled labor in the trades
of iron working, clothing and printing
Quebec requires trade labor in many
lines of manufacture. Metal workers
and trade laborers are in demand in
Ontario. In Quebec and Ontario about
so per cent OF the men required are
skilled and of the women SIS per cent.
Little difficulty, except in special in
dustries like white wear manufactures,
viii be experienced this winter owing
to the fact that the surplus labor en-
ga ged in agriculture, numbering and
fishing pursuits will find it's way to the
manufacturing localities, but with the
commencement of outdoor labor in the
spring and a continuance of prosperity
real famine in labor is likely to exist.

the science of fox hunting.
In every year there are born a GER

the eve of judges in the show ring and
in the field. But their fame is often
passing, and lasts but during the short
working life of the foxhound. The test

According to Vice Consul General
Ross j. Hazeltine of Halifax labor
famine in Canada is among the report

ITO obtain an estimate of the condi-
tions of the labor market circular let

the replies submitted it is shown that
81 per cent of the manufacturers need

of outdoor work during winter and
what should naturally provide abund-
ance of labor, is rather remarkable

DIFFERENT METHODS OF
FLIGHT SEEN IN BIRDS
Rapidity of Wing Movement
Features Certain Species

Birds have different modes of fight,
just as men have different gaits in
walking or running. Rapid wing move
ment does not always imply speed in
fight any more than rapid leg move
ment implies speed in walking or run
ming. With us it is the length of the
stride that tells ultimately. What,
apart from the wing movement, tells
in the fight of the bird is not known.
Speaking broadly. says the Scots
man, long winged birds are strong and
swift ffiers; short winged birds are
feeble in fight. When we consider that
a cumbrous, slow moving bird like the
heron moves its wings twice per sec
ond when in flight it is evident that
many birds have very rapid wing
movement. Most small birds have this
rapid wing movement with feeble
powers of flight; the common wren and
the dipper, for instance. have a flight
like that of a young bird.
Many of our smaller migrants seem
but to fit from bush to bush or from
tree TO tree. Members of the thrush
family are low fliers, the blackbird in
particular, with its hastY hurried
flight often Just avoiding fences and
no more. Wagtails have a beautiful
Undulating flight, with little apparent
use of their wings. They look like
greyhounds bounding through the air.
ally without the slightest movement of
their wings. Even a large bird like a
pheasant Will glide in this way for
more than 200 yards.
Grouse have rapid wing motion
without any great speed, but when
they sail. coming down with the wind,
as they prefer to do they go very fast.
Before alighting they flap their wings
several times very rapidly, like the
clapping of hands. Most birds after
gliding do this. Does it correspond to
putting on the brakes or reversing the
engine in the case of mechanical loco
motion? With little apparent use of
its wings the wood pigeon fles very
strongly and rapidly. 1t never seems
to bring up" much before alighting.
but crashes into a tree at full speed
When it rises its wings crack like pis-
tol shots.
Ducks are strong on the wing and
often fly in single file. Geese will fly

at considerable height. So do many
gulls and other sea birds. in stately,

while their lowering in the air is one
of the mysteries of bird life. Peesweeps
which are so graceful in their motions

marked degree swifts, have rapid wing
movement, with great speed and extra

ALASKAN BEAR KILLS
CUBS DURING FRENZY
Mothers Desperate Efforts Fail
TO Save Offspring

Engineer. the big Alaskan bear at
the Bronx park zoo, killed his two sons
yesterday a few hours after they were
born, and for willie there was great
excitement in the bear dens, every bear
there apparently realizing what was
going on, says the New York Times
The zoo helpers believe that Engineer
lost his head owing to a commotion
started among the other bears because
of the snow
Some time during the snowstorm of
Thursday night Mrs. Admiral. for sew
eral years Engineers mate, presented
the two cubs 10 the mena gerie But
the keepers knew nothing of the event
until yesterday, Engineer and his mate
never once showing themselves in the
snow Keepers Ferguson and Spicer
noticed that most of the other bears
had been uneasy ever since the Storm
They frequently raised hideous din,
growing, lighting and trying to beat
down the bars of their cages.
Yesterday this commotion seemed to
grow in volume. Ivan, the Russian
bear, and Big Bill. the Rocky mountain
grizzly, were especially noisy. The
keepers started to investigate.
All the bears were outside in the
snow except Engineer and Mrs. Ad-
miral. When the keepers reached the
front of their cage they heard sounds
of desperate encounter in the grotto.
Aiming themselves with clubs. thev
entered the cage. At the mouth of the
grotto they paused and peered into the
dim interior. On the floor near the
door lay small cub, torn nearly to
pieces. Near by lay another, and En-
gineer's teeth were in it's throat.
The mother of the cubs was attack
ing Engineer with all her strength.
biting at his shoulders and trying to
drag him away from the cub The
keepers piled their clubs over the
head of Engineer. who retreated to the
rear of the grotto. But the last cub
was dead
