Fellow workingmen and

you are struggling for decent
conditions to work under and
a living wage, the police and

used by the capitalist class to
crush you and beat you into
submission. Never before were
class lines so strictly drawn;
never before were the prospects
for labor gloomier than now.
Are you going to vote the po-
lice powers of this fair city in

Fish that is to be fried should
be ordered to be sent early, as 1t
cooks much better If previously
rolled some time in a clean cloth
to insure perfect dryness.
Ground rice is excellent for
cleaning white cloth. 1t should
be applied with a piece of clean
white flannel, left for two or
three hours. and then we'll brush
ed and shaken.
If the leftover breakfast cereal
is carefully nodded into a bowl or
square pan that is first wet with
cold water IL may be sliced and
fried as an acceptable luncheon
dish.
A very weak solution of am
onia water is excellent for clean
ing a diamond. 1t should be ap-
piled to the under side and will
make 1t very brilliant.
A good disinfectant is made by
applying a hot poker to a lump
of camphor gum in a saucer. The
strong fumes will clear the room

Even female animals are prohib-

from Switzerland, so that the eyes

The peninsula is inhabited by
the members of 20 monasteries

days when Christian emperors
held rule at Constantinople and

THE STEEL CASE.

It is rather surprising that the
movement for the dissolution of the
Steel trust should have proved such
a shock to the financial world. We
doubt If any intelligent observer from
the outside doubted that such a suit
was bound to ome In the nature of
the case it vas probable after tho 9TH
err suits had run their course through
the supreme court. Just how it would
be brought and just what charges
would be made was. Of course, con-
jectural. But q suit was altogether
to be expected. A suit is not a disso-
luton. 1t is extremely gratifying that
the steel management has decided to
stand its ground and contest the ques-
ton Of legality. In this case. as on
others. every effort was made to con-
form to what was supposed to be the
law. Did the best legal talent they
could secure, some Of 1t associated
With the administration now, advise

The. Mystery of Migration
NOW BELIEVED THE ANNUAL FLIGHTS OF BIRDS DUE TO THE
PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN BIRDS THEMSELVES.
Guthrie. Okla. Cor. Kansas City starr

Guthrie. Okla. Cor. Kansas City starr
Popular ideas about the annual mi
grafton of birds to their summer nest
ing grounds and to their winter homes
have been largely upset by the recent
compilation by. the government Of da-
which this Information has been
drawn embraces 1000 observers in the
United States and Canada, aggregat-
ing more than 100000 records. and
covering the last twenty-five years.
Migration is not caused by weather
conditions. as popularity supposed. but
is undertaken in response to physiolo-
food supply. weather. however. is the
chief factor in determining the date Of
arrival at the breeding grounds. In
the ease of most species Of birds the
date Of starting hears no relation
whatever to local weather conditions
in the winter home. The weather en-
countered in migration has only a sub
ordinate influence. retarding or accel-
Grating the birds advance by only o
few days, and has slight relation to
the time Of arrival at the nesting
place.
The principal factors governing the
appearance OF a species at any given
locality are the weather conditions
where the nights flight began, the re-
lations which that place and time bear
to the bird under normal weather con-
ditions. and not to local weather con-
ditions at the place of arrival. The
appearance of a bird in a given To-
caiity in bad weather Is probably ex-
plainable by the supposition that the
flight began in favorable weather. and
that the weather changed during the
night. Spring migration usually &C.
ours with a rising temperatures; au.
perature. In each case the mere
change in weather seems to be more
potent than the absolute degree OF
cold.
It is commonly believed that birds

this opinion in one Of It's recent pub.
LEGATIONS. in which As embodied the

right time. In the fall. to wait until
a cold wave arrives brings disappoint-
ment. as the ducks and geese are gone.
Wtxe hunters consult t~elegraphic fore.
casts of the weather bureau and when
they learn that a cold wave has START
they go hunting at once and find geese
and ducks in abundance. By the time
the cold wave reaches Oklahoma the
water fowl have flown southwark.
1t is difficult. IL not impossible, to
tell what bird movements will accom-
pany any given set Of weather condi-
tons. One spring it would appear
that the birds have been held back by
a certain storm, but another year un.
der identically the same conditions, the
birds may continue northward In spite
of a storm; they fail to arrive when
circumstances seem propitious and
come in myriads when conditions
seem adverse. An explanation posi-
bly, may lie found in the fact that mi
grafton does not progress uniformly,
but in a series Of advances interspers-
ed with periods Of rest or Inactivity.
In the Mississippi valley the average
daily advance in northward migration
is t~wenty-three miles. or scarcely
more than a half hours flight; but
since there are many stopover nights
on the migration journey. 1t follows
that on each night Of flight a corre-
s%pondingly greater distance must be
covered. Probably few night mi
grants make less than 100 miles at a
flight. while spurts Of 200 miles or
more must be very common.
Bird tragedies due to bad weather
are appalling. On the night Of March
10 and IL. 1904, an innumerable host
of Lapland l%ongspurs. migrating north
ward in southern Minnesota, encoun.
tered a heavy fall Of soft, damp show.
Weighted by the clinging flakes, the
birds dropped to earth and a large
portion persisted. The death toll: on
the icy surface Of two small lakes. was
estimated at 100000. while the num-
Der Of lifeless bodies scattered over
the 1900 square miles Of territory
covered by the disaster was beyond
computation.
It may be stated that the weather
in the winter home has nothing to do
with starting birds on the spring mi
grafton, except in the case Of a few,
