GLASS CONFUSING TO THEM
slrrs and Fish Dc Not Easily Lssrr That They Cannot Psns-
 srste it.

4 correspondent recently reported what he described as the curious freak" Of biackbird flying against parlor window many times ct the same spot.
 Such an incident is not uncommon Birds have been known 10 fight for hours at a time, day after day. with their own image reflected in a pane of glass. pecking and futteFing agains; the pane and quite exhausting them selves in their fury to demolish the supposed rival. Il Is another instance of how the arts Of our civilization corrupt and confuse the birds. IL is the same with fishes.
 Darwin tells a story of pike fin an aquarium separated by plate glass from fish which were its proper food. In trying 10 get at the fish the pike would often dash with such violence against the glass as to be completely stunned II did this for more than three months before 1t learned can tioa. Then when the glass was re- moved the pike would not attack those particular fishes, but would de vour others freshly introduced.
 It did not at all understand the sit uation. but associated the punishment 1t had received not with the glass. but with a particular kind of fish Darwin's American monkeys proved themselves mere knowing" When they cut themselves once with any sharp tool they would not touch fl again or else would handle 1t with the greatest caution.
 Thus they gave evidence of the sim pier forms of reason of which mon keys are no doubt capable. but birds are evidently lacking in reasoning poSers.-The Scotsman.

AUTOMOBILES MUST
 ALL WEAR CITY TAGS
Council Meets and Passes an Ordinance Covering the li-
 cenSe of Vehicles

AfleF further amendment the ordi- nance requiring the licensing of auto mobiles and the registration Of mo tercycles was passed by the city council at a special meeting held .ast night II had been changed sew erai times before it's final presenta- tiun. hut at that lime the question oi iransference Of license and numbers when a vehicle is sold was brought mp and a provision made % cover that situation
 All automobiles stabled within a ra- dins Of i've miles of this city and commonly using the streets Of the city must be registered prior to the first Of November each year, and the marshal will then make an entry of the make. description. type and style of vehicle The license fee is g.. and an extra charge Of S1 made for each number. each vehicle being required to carry two. one at the front and one at the rear There is no requirement for the purchase of new numbers each year. but there is q requirement. for an annual license. Garages have to purchase tags for each machine used. but pay no license fees. since they pay 6 business license on ma chimes being driven for hire. Thus the first registration of an automobile by any one except the owner of a garage costs S the first year and thereafter costs g. If an owner sells an old machine and buys 8 new one. he can retain the old num- s+ ffla registration of the new machine.
 Another provision of the new ordi- nance is a requirement. of lights both on the front and the rear of vehicles. The penalty for infringe ment of any of the provisions Of the ordinance is a fine not to exceed Sl90 or Imprisonment not to exceed three months or both.
 Other matters to be taken I'D by the council. were the testing of gas connections, on which no definite de- cision was arrived at: the statement Of j. H Jacks as to the cost of re- pairing damages t0 his Tombstone canyon property, his figures being s43f.40, referred to committee; a fridge across the subway; bridging sewer right of way on Brophy ave nue. and a sewer line up Tombstone canyon References to comittees were had in all cases.
 The cemetery ordinance is awaiting report from the city engineer and will be reported on in the near fu- ture.
 Reference 10 sewer connections occurred several times during the evening, and the officials are using all possible energy to obtain a gen. eral connection of ali premises with sewers.

THE ENcLls4 SENSE OF 4uMoR
(cIncinnati TImes-starl


 "Englishmen have very good sense Of humor. But 1t isn't the same sort of sense that Americans have. % said Arnold Daly recently. It does not transptre whether he referred to George Bernard Shaw. It was Mr. Shaw who ended friendship which had lasted for years by the declara- tion that Daly's conversation re- minds me of some American rail- roads. It goes through a pleasant country. rich in natural resources. But 1t completely lacks terminal ia cilities" In any event, Daly is credited with telling story to illus trate the English habit of thought. An American. in a strange town, said he, stopped a man on the street
 Do you know where the post of- fee is?' he asked.
 Yes. said the second man, and walked on By and by he began to think that he had been insufferably
