City of Winnipeg Owns Its Utilities

VIZ INNlPEG, Man.-Before the close
w Of the present year this city will
be looked upon as the greatest ex'
ponent Of public ownership on the
American continent. Its investment
In public utilities is now more than
S3O,O0O,O0O.
1t is nearly quarter of century
since the city council laid the founda-
ton of municipal ownership by buy
ing out the Winnipeg Water Works
company and establishing a municipal
plant. So successful did the venture
prove that when the city decided to
lay asphalt pavements some years
later it was decided to install a mu.
nicipal asphalt plant and the many
miles Of pavement in this city have
been laid by it.
Trouble with the Winnipeg Electric
company, which controls the street
railway franchise, gas, electric light
and power franchise, resulted in the
city voting S3,000,000 for a municipal
power plant Out on the Winnipeg
river, 65 miles from the city. plant
is now nearing completion. The near
completion of this plant and the pros
poets that the city would build its
own street railway system, led the
Winnipeg Electric company to sell out
to the city. The purchase price is
$18,0O0,O00.
Winnipeg's telephone system is also
conducted under public ownership, for

" ANSAS CITY, Kan.-Curiew must
N ring in Kansas, and its sounding
must be needed. The w. C. T. U. has
determined that too little attention is
paid to the curfew law, particularly
in Kansas City, Kan, and asked the
city commissioners to see that 1t is
enforced. In this city, where the
sounding of a steam whistle on the
packing plant takes the place Of the
old-time bell, it is alleged that it is
no longer the curfew whistle" but is
generally spoken of as ''the nine
o'clock whistle" from the fact that it
sounds at that hour in the evening.
Ten years ago the w. c. T. U. took
up the matter of the boys remaining
out late at night and determined to
put a stop to it. They secured the
adoption by most of the city councils
of the Sunfower state Of ordinances
similar to the New England curfew
laws. In this city, which was far too

section, grave question arose as to
how the boys were to know when to
make it home" After some discus
sion the packing houses solved the
problem by agreeing to blow the whis-
tie at nine o'clock
All was well, and when the loud
blast of the big steam siren, which
can be heard forty miles on a clear
day, sounded at nine o'clock the boys
scampered home. If they did not the
policeman took them to the station
and they were warned never again to
be out after curfew" The women were
satisfied and all went we'll.
But the boys grew up and neglected
to impress on their younger brothers
a dread of the curfew. The brothers
did not scamper home at the sound,
and the people began to think little
of it.
Meantime the housewives had be-
come accustomed to regulate their
clocks by the sound, and at nine
o'clock they went to see If the time
piece lost or gained. The habit spread,
and one by one the men grew accus-
toned to regulate their watches by
the whistle. Now every night the
watch of each man who works in the
city comes out of his pocket almost
by force Of habit at the first sound of
the whistle.

women visit the birdhouse without
delay.
When l heard that the Bronx gar
dens had two birds Of paradise" said
Mr.. De Vry, 81 was anxious to get one
or two for Lincoln park. Fortune IA
vored me. A month ago a dealer in
London wrote that he had a few
specimens and promptly ordered two
male birds of the emerald variety.
This is not so gorgeous a bird as the
king bird of paradise, but It is such
rarity that it is extremely valuable
The two l ordered arrived in a special
box fom London, but in shipping
some of the beautiful tail feathers
were broken. AS It would take sew
eral months for these to grow in the
natural way after molting, / pulled
the broken quills and expect that the
older bird will be in full plumage
within two months. The younger one
will not attain its full plumage for
perhaps a year,
Fruit and insects form the food of
these birds and we are giving them
the best we can get-ants' eggs, meal
worms, bananas, oranges and apples.

24,O00,O0o HENS IN IRELAND
Figures Given Out at Dublin Poultry
Conference Show Large Gains
Becoming Second Denmark.

Dublin.-Astonishi facts relating
to Irish land development have come
to light in connection with the poultry
conference here. Figures have been
compiled showing that the country
possesses more than 24,O000OO hens
and 250,000 goats 1t is exporting
near 94,OOO,0OO ($2O,O0O,0O0) worth
of poultry produce, while England
imports 97OOO,OOO ($35, ,OOO,OOO) worth
Of eggs.
Ireland, according to these figures,
is becoming a second Denmark. The
increase in poultry is due principally
to the establishment of cooperative
depots, which have steadily multiplied.
The recently started society called the
United Irish Women is rapidly be-
coming a force in the development of
agriculture, and 1t is believed that the
efforts Of the organization will result
in a greatly reduced emigration.

in Half Century Loss of Property and
Life Will Be Great, Asserts
Washington Scientist.

PhiladeIphia.-"If steel tuberculosiF
becomes epidemic in our buildings
and great structures, the destruction
OF millions of dollars worth of prop
erty will be inevitable, and within
half a century the loss in money and
life may be appalling"
This statement was made before a
gathering Of scientists in Franklin in
stitute by DR.. Allerton S. Cushman,
chemical investigator Of the depart
ment of agriculture, at Washington.
Steel tuberculosis, DR.. Cushman eX-
planned, is a corrosive disease, attack
ing iron and steel structures, occa-
stoned by natural processes of decay
and by electrolysis-a decay precipit-
ated by stray electrical currents that
escape from wires everywhere and
penetrate the girders Of steel struc-
lures and the reinforcing Of concrete
buildings.
"No effective rust resistants have as
yet been discovered, said DR.. Cush-
man, TO cover the surface of iron and
steel and make it proof against this
decay; and this problem confronting
engineers at present is what can be
done to insure a permanent quality to
these two metals which are such vital
factors in our modern constructive
and commercial life.
80 far zinc is the only metal
which has been found to preserve iron,
and its use in covering wire and other
building material is helping to over
come corrosion. Paint technologists

Two Magnificent Specimens Of Rarest
Species of Feathered Tribe Known

Safely In Chicago.

Chicago.-Lincoln park now has
two magnificent specimens Of the en-
erald bird Of paradise, one of the
rarest species Of birds known to
Ornithologists. There are only two

1t is said, these being at the Bronx
geological gardens in New York, and
the number in captivity. except in the
gardens of oriental potentates, could
almost be counted on ones fingers. it
Is declared
The emerald bird of paradise comes
from the jungles of interior New
Guinea, and is so rare and shy that
It is, seldom seen, even. by the ma
tives, except in the mating season.
Then the birds congregate in COM
paratively large flocks and the hen
birds sit on branches of the trees
the natives call the marriage dance.
This consists in the birds extending
their magnificent plumes and grace
fully hopping from branch to branch
to attract the hen birds. At other
seasons of the year the birds pass
most of their time in the topmost
branches of tall trees and are most
difficult to approach, not to say
snare alive.
The two birds now at Lincoln park
came from a dealer in London, and
Cy De Vry, in charge of the zoo, con-
siders himself lucky to get them at
5000 apiece. They are about the size
of a crow, with a beautiful metallic
green plumage on the body, orange
colored tail feathers and with bronze
and green and red feather on the
head Because Of the rarity of the
birds and the great difficulty that
has been experienced with them in
captivity De Vry suggested that Chi

Out of doors, fresh, daytime air is
not for the poor worker Of towns or
cities. Only the rich, the leisurely, the
idle or the agricultural can enjoy this
natural precious boon of freedom. Yes,
the work of town and city is carried
on indoors. Most people, though, what
ever their occupation, could with little
trouble manage almost to sleep in out
of doors fresh air. Almost any room
with an outside window can be kept
full of fresh air most seasons of the
year. Food is expensive; air is free.
If man had to work for fresh air as he
does for food, he would value it. Clean
fresh air is hardly attainable at any
price to the lodger the tenement

cause their wives use inferior strong
