CHICAGO, April 13.-Good citizen
shin as a, creed will have a trial heat
in Chicago among the memberships of
forty four churches. religious bodies
and clubs which nave organized the
chicago Citizens congress, with high
hopes for big results. The formal de-
claration of the congress as to its pur-
pose includes this: ITO unite all men
who profess religious principles of life
in the application of their principles
tn the duties and responsibilities of
citizenship" The congress has adopt
ed a commission form of government,
with Is commissioners. The member

religious faiths as rarely has been seen
and rf.ll more rarely held together
with any permanence. Observe the al
titude of its activities as stated by the
temporary secretary: mo craftsmanship,
no sectarianism no fad must be our

pure Evans tonian diction with which
the project is launched also is to be
noted Already the Off ers are con-
fronted with the difficulty of avoiding
friction between factions and at the

Women CONSTRUCT sidewalks.

A novel town improvement has been
started in the Glen Park district in
California, in which the women of that
section take a prominent part. The
women are engaged in a successful
sidewalk crusade, having for its OBJ
ject the laying of cement sidewalks
throughout the district. They have
contracted with a rock dealer, a mem.
Der of the local improvement club, for
the necessary material for the purpose
at half the usual price. A teamster,
also a member of the association,
hauls their material at a little over
half the usual price, and a sidewalk
builder is engaged to supervise the
work and see that it is done properly.
The labor itself is don by the won.

who crush and pound the rock into
place, pull up the forms, relay them,

loading and unloading the wagons
Their method Of procedure brings the
cost Of their sidewalks considerably be-
low the regular price.

The Color OF Water.

The color Of the seas, lakes. rivers
and streams in general are very often
colored. For instance. the water or
the Mediterranean sea is not colOrless,
but green-blue: also there is a brilliant
red river in South America. The st.
Lawrence, in Canada, is pale green,
and the Ottawa golden brown; where
these two rivers meet quite frequently
whole broad patches remain unmixed.
Here is a gold patch and there a
green one. Otherwise than this. water
reflects the colors of its Surroundings.
and a so-called emerald pool" in the
White mountains, is green because the
birches on it's borders in early summer
are brilliant green. The Blue Grotto,
in Capri, Italy, shows a remarkably
rich color, nea to green-blue, because
all the light received in that grotto
comes through the water at its en-
trance, and the Mediterranean Is
green-blue. The water of the geysers
In the Yellowstone Park are also col.
ored by natural mineral dyes.

Flov.r. bloom In Darkness.

VgaEAt =
After two years of experimenting
with nearly every spring flower of this
section OF the country, DR.. Marion Mac
kenzie OF the department Of biology at
Temple University has established the
fact that every kind will blossom as
quickly and as beautifully in the dark
ness as in the light, says the Phila-
delphia North American.
The experiments were conducted In
the greenhouses Of the botanical gar
den 1t the university Of Pennsylvania
and extended over two years. The
towering plants were studied compar.
atively under conditions Of high and
low temperature. In the darkness and
IN the sunlight.
Among the varieties that Powered in
the darkness YER the violet, all va.
rieties OF the maple and poplar trees,
the wild azalea, ~sassafras, the jack-in-
the-pulpit and the skunk cabbage. The
observation that darkness does not re-
tard the blossoming was so generally
true that DR.. Mackenzie thinks 1t JUS
tifiahle to state as a result of her ex-
detrimental work that all flowers OF our
climate will bloom under these re.
markably unnatural conditions.
It was q matter Of some surprise to
Or. Mackenzie that the skunk cabbage,
thought by even the most admiring
naturalists to be q worthless perennial
plant. burst forth into a rich bloom
when brought indoors. The flowers.
TOO. noted the experimenter. are more
gorgeous than those of many plants
that the housewives Of today are har.
boring In their homes.

NEW YORK.

Quiet still rules in trade and many
lines of industry. while speculation.
except in grain, seems in a waiting
stage, pending clearer views Of he
ultimate crop and price outcome. Rel
atively the most activity in the job
bling trade is centered in meeting cur
rent demands, and fall business still
lacks form. Retail trade has shown
some gain at the big Western mar
kets, out is still classed as below ex-
pectations. Unreasonably cool wealth
err is commonly assigned as the cause
for the backward trade, but there are
still in evidence signs that uncertain
ty as to prices holds back future com
mitments.

Through a discovery made by Prof.
Ernest HuFbner, A German naturalist,
that migratory birds never cross the
seas and oceans except in storm cur
rents, the SCienCc of air navigation by
men is destined to make its greatest
step forward. according to an article
in the June Century. His recent eN-
perimentS with the Gorman redbrcaSt
show that the bird determines from the
wind as felt in the noStrilS when to
start. \ French scientist proved that
the birds depend on the sense of feeling
in the nOstrilS by testing the flight Of
three hOming pigeons, the ears of one
and the nOstrilS of another being seal
ed, the third being left free. The free
one arrived HON or time, a distance
Of 800 miles, as did also the one with
ears sealed. But the one with nOstrils
closed was two day late. and then
came in with the nostrils freed. These
experiments are expected to enable
to invent instruments with
which to read the changing air cur
rents, SO as to make long flights and
overwhelming attacks in time of raf
