STORKS LEAVE ALSACE

Town of Colmar Provides Iron
Nests for Birds

cerne is the storks' nest on the water
tower, but the curious visitor becomes
a sadder, if wiser, man. when he learns
the nest is dummy Long ago the
storks forsook Lucerne, and now 1t ap-
pears that Colmar, in Alsace. is likely
to suffer the same way. Twenty five
years ago thirty two storks' nests could
be seen on the high buildings of Col
mar This year. there are only five
nests occupied. 1t may be observed
that the nucleus of the nest is pro-
vided by the town in the form of a
kind of iron basket, says the London
Globe The birds do their own fur
nishing. which, to begin with, consists
of dried leaves, but the storks are coll
lectors of curiosities. After the nests
have served their purpose they are
cleaned out, and then is found q

old stockings, buttons. handkerchiefs,
etc. The explanation of the birds for
saking the town is that the marshes

BEACON WARNS AERIAL
TRAVELLERS IN GERMANY
Plans Made for Network of Sig
nails Throughout Empire

Consul Thomas III. Norton reports
from Chemnitz that for several months
there has been keen discussion in Ger
many regarding the best methods for
enabling aerial travellers to establish
with certainty their location after
nightfall and in foggy weather The
consul also describes the initial steps
in this direction.
Numerous plans have been proposed
for systematic network of signal sta
tions to cover the entire empire While
no one system has yet received official
or professional sanction, an initial step
in this important matter has already
been taken at the town of Spandau. in
Prussia, where an aerial lighthouse is
now in full activity. The necessity Of
such construction has been felt more
particularly at this point where the
experiments Of the German war Office
with aerial craft are largely conducted
and nocturnal flights are increasingly
frequent.
This pioneer beacon for aerial guild
ance is comparatively simple in its con-
struction. 1t consists of an elevated
support on which rests, in a. horizon
tai position, a wooden ring of consider
able diameter; 3S powerful incandes-
cent electric lights are placed at equal
distances about the circumference, and
there is an automatic arrangement for
interrupting the current, at regular in
tervals, for a short period.
The location of Spandau is thus
clearly indicated to traveller passing
over the place by a large, luminous cir
Gle, alternately disappearing and reap
pearing. While this device answers
admirably for the needs of aeronauts
during the night, it is of little or no
use when fog prevails at any time For
such contingencies it will be necessary
to install a siren or similar apparatus.

PEOPLE OF MANILA
BID FOR TOURISTS
Philippine Capital Well Worthy
of a Visit

Americans in Manila are determined
to make itiapparent to tourists in the
Orient that the Philippine capital is
worthy of a visit, and that visit there
will be one Of the big events of the
tour, says the Courier journal. The
enterprise that is shown promises re-
suits proportionate to the efforts put
forth
Nearly $50 years ago Spanish au-
thority was established at the city of
..Maynila" by treaty between Lacan-
dola, the rajah OF Maynila, and
Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, and the
title of distinguished and ever loyal
city was conferred upon a then
fiourishing center of population, where
civilization was by no means new The
Arabic alphabet had been in use since
the Mohammedan conquest in the 18th
century, and even before its adoption
the writing OF fiction and lyric poetry
were well developed arts among the
Ta galogs and Visayans
For about three centuries Manila has
been substantial walled city and the
center OF European civilization and
Christianity, and for at least 200 years
its population has been sufficiently di-
versified TO give ii claim to cosmo-
politanism During the dozen years of
its existence under American rule it
has become progressive without be-
coming less picturesque than it was
when governed by "alcaldes" and
"regidores" and presided over spiritu-
ally. and from a distance. by the arch
bishop of Mexico. American sanitari-
ans have drained a malarial moat to
make a sunken garden and cut the
walls OF the ancient city to provide
means of entrance and exit for trolley
cars that serve the coalescent cities
of Ermita, Binondo, Malate, Paco.
Pandacan and Santa Ana. but, taken all
in all, the Spanish American city is
more attractive nowadays than it was
when the Spaniards executed criminals
on the Luneta and bred frogs and mos
quitoes in the moat.
It's quaint aspect. it's background of
history, its Spanish architecture, its
Chinese shops, its mixed population.
and its interest as the capital of
American possessions as yet undis-
covered by the vast majority of
travelling Americans, make Manila
well worth visiting. But the strenuous
and catholic hospitality that Manilans
propose to extend to tourists give 1T
added interest for persons who enjoy
the sensation of being made to feel at
home when upon the other side of the
Pacific.

it is just as well that it's pedigree
