CAPITOL CHATTER
Little sidelights on Legislators aud Legislation

Representative Landon Of Old Say
brook loosened his heaviest oratorical
batteries Wednesday morning when
the bill concerning the close season on
wild ducks, geese, brant and swans
came up as the order of the day. The
bill provided for a close season from
Jan. to Sept. 80. Mr.. Landon wants
the season open in January AS a
prelude to his speech he addressed the
reporters of the house and said: II
want you to write down every word
say; | want every man in the state to
read it. When he had finished Mr..
Huntington of Windsor, who did not
agree with Mr.. Landon, and was scatn-
ingly criticized by the latter for op-
posing a proposition that he knew so
little about, got the floor and said:

bill relative to teachers certificates

though it was favorabIy reported by
the committee on education and had
the endorsement of various educational
interests. The main intent of the bill,
as explained by Mr.. Ensign of Sims

graduates of institutions specified in
the bill, to a more rigid examination
than is now required, that students
may be protected from receiving in
struction from incompetent persons.

ORIGIN OF POSTAL BANKS.
Idea First Adopted Half Century Ago
In Great Britain,

1t has been fifty years since the first
postal banks were established. The
idea of using the postoffice for the col
lection and safe keeping Of small de-
posits had Its origin in Great Britain.
Under the leadership of William E.
Gladstone, then chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, parliament in 1861 passed the
bill providing for the creation Of the
postal savings bank system.
The United States, therefore, is di-
vided by half a century from the out
posts of progress in this important re-
spect.
Figures made public on the fiftieth
anniversary of the beginning Of postal
banks show that there are in Great
Britain and Ireland $4,000 postoffices
designated as repositories for the peo-
pies savings. The number Of depos-
itots is 100000. and the amount
standing to the credit of depositors is
nearly $3.50, 900.
That is indeed an impressive show

CEYLON'S "DEVIL Bird"
Its Terrible Screams Strike Terror to
tho Superstitious.

it9 Iefflpl0 ocfeams Stflke error TO
tho Superstitious.
OF all the awe inspiring sounds emit
ted by wild creatures, none. 1t is said,
is to be compared to that Of the devil
bird of Ceylon, whose cry has been
nkened to the scream of a human be-
ing undergoing the most excruciating
torture. Naturalists have identified
this bird with the brown wood owl
found in Hindustan.
The devil bird, or ulama, as the
Cingalese call it, is an elusive crea-.
ture. The natives Of Ceylon regard
the cry of this bird with superstitious
horror, for, 1t is claimed, It's scream,
heard at night presages the most dire
misfortunes.
A British official Of the Ceylon civil
service has given some study to this
curious bird. Its ordinary note, he
states, is a magnificent clear shout like
that Of human being, heard at a
great distance and producing a fine eff
feet in the silence of the night. But
the sounds which have earned for the
bird its bad name and which this Of
ficer reports he heard to perfection but
once are said to be we'll nigh inde-
scribable, the most appalling that can
be imagined and scarcely to be heard
without a shudder. 1t has been COM
pared to the cries of a boy in torture
whose screams are being stopped by
strangulation.
