FIND NEW BIRD IN IRELAND
Naturalist Discovers Species of Coal
Tit Which Is Given Name Of
Parus Hibernlcus.

Dublin.-Mr. Collingwood, we'll
known naturalist, has discovered in
the pine woods of County Sligo, Ire
land, an entirely new indigenous bird
to be added to the list of British birds.
Such an event has not occurred for
nearly fifty years.
The new bird is allied to the coal
tit (Parus ater), which, although 1t is
distributed throughout the world in
varied forms, in no instance has a
distinctive variation so pronounced as
in the new species, in which the parts
Of the plumage that in all other coal
tits are pure white assume a clear
sulphurous yellow hue. These parts
are the cheeks and a spot on the
back of the neck.
Louis Vain, who has given particu-
lars of the new bird on the authority
of Sir William Ingram, states that the
birds variation of color is in no way
an abnormality confined to one indi-
vidual, as Mr.. Ingram found all the
coal-tits of the district characterized
in the same manner. A specimen has
been examined by the Natural His
tory museum authorities, who have
given the bird it's specific name of
Parus Hibernicus Qrish tit) Mr..
Ingram, who is member of the Brit
ish Ornithological union, has already
discovered several new species of
birds in other parts of the world.

". and since then they have increased
almost $500, 100000. and the net earn
ings for each mile have increased
more than so per cent. Have the
freight charges decreased correspond
ingly? Glance at that colmun OF ton
mile revenue and you will see that the
rates have entirely ceased to decline
and that consequently the people have
been denied for more than decade
any share In the profits resulting from
the immensely greater volume Of traf-
fee and the rapidly increasing net
earnings of the railways. For IL
years the freight rates fell steadily,
and then all at once the decline was
checked and the railways began to
withhold from the public all the bene-
fits resulting from their new prospect
ty and new methods, being enabled to
do this through the tremendous con-
solidations that largely destroyed COM
petition. Half billion dollars a year
increase in net earnings and freight
rates practically stationary-that Is
not a good argument for further In
crease in transportation charges by
the railways of the United States.
What is a reasonable rate of return
and what is the value of the property
entitled to such return are questions
upon which the railway magnates
must depend to prove their conten-
tion.

EMPIRE HOBBLE IS NEWEST
New York Man MlIllner Brings News
From Europe-"Rat" and "Puff"
Are Doomed.

New York.-The "rat" is doomed.
1t has gone. So has the puff. The
empire gown is back, but 1t is an en-
pire with hobble.
These tidings come from a Fifth
avenue milliner who arrives from the
other side at about this time every
year with observations on women's
fashions culled from all the high
places which he has hit on a winters
trip to Europe. In newspaper Ian
guage, the milliner covered" Monte
Carlo few weeks ago, and there he
got this story.
There was recently opened a new
section of the gambling establishment
at Monte Carlo" said Mr.. Kurzman
to marine reporters who met him at
the gang plank Of La Provence. ut
is called 1e Circle Privee.' Admission
is limited to the most aristocratic
families of Europe and a few Ameri-
cans.
"All the Riviera notables were
there and it was an excellent oppor-
tunity to study the ideas Of dress
which the leaders of European so
ciety have adopted. The gowns were
universally of empire pattern. One
and all might well have been modelled
on the gown Of Nine. Recamier in the
famous paintings in the Louvre.
"The waist is high, which means
that an entirely new style Of corset
must be worn. The skirt is tight,
still suggesting the hobble skirt in its
later forms. The color was almost
unanimously and monotonously en-
pire green, or, If you like, vert en-
pire.' The whole assembly was like
a picture out of old Versailles. o,
forgot; there are no trains and the
skirts are short"

CANNOT REFILL MILK CANS
Turkey Has Receptacle to Thwart
Dishonest OfficiaIIy
Sealed by inspectors.

Washington.-From benighted Tur-
key comes news through the state de-
partment of an invention calculated
to make the dishonest milkmen of all
the world quake in their boots The
invention consists of can fitted with
valves which permit a liquid to be
poured out but not in. There Is an
opening, of course, by which the can
is filled, but as soon as this is done
and scientific inspectors have tested
the contents and pronounced them un-
adulterated and unwatered milk, the
opening is officially sealed. After
that the milk is ready to be sent to
the consumer. The sanitary inspec-
tor of Saloniki, Turkey, is SO taken
with the device that he has ordered
all the milk dealers of that city to
supply themselves with the new can,
and as soon as this can be done he
will permit milk to be sold from no
other container.

IS CRISIS SER|0US?.
Railroad Companies Have Made
Big Increase in Earnings.
Argument That Advanced Rates Are
Necessary for Continued Payment
: Of Dividends Is Dlsproved by
Figures From Reports.

Within the past ten years the cost
OF labor and supplies has increased
SO greatly and so rapidly that the rail-
ways are facing serious crisis. Un-
less they are permitted to raise freight
rates. they must cease to pay divi-
dends and will be forced out Of busi-
ness.
Such is the burden of the argu-
ments that the people of the United
States have heard and read frequent
ly of late, and so often have the state
ments been repeated that the people
are beginning to wonder II they are
not in a measure true.
But there is another side to the
story, found in the reports of the rail-
way companies themselves, and this
shows plainly that though the operat-
ing expenses have increased in bulk,
the earnings have made still greater
increase. Annual reports of their ex-
penses and earnings are made by the
railway companies to the interstate
commerce commission, and these, COM
plete for the years from June 80,
1887, to June 80, 1907, and in part for
1908, 1909 and 1910, are at hand.
From these reports the commissions
bureau of statistics has prepared the
following table:
GROSS EARNINGS FOR OPERATION
The eaBnings of American railroads
from the organization of the interstate
commerce commission down to the pres
ent time from June 30, 1887, to June 30,
ION
Las Vegas optic., 1911-02-10

Compiled from reports on the statistics
of railways in the United States, and
bulletins Of revenues and expenses of
steam roads in the United States, pre-
pared by the bureau of statistics and ac-
counts of the interstate commerce COM
mission. Statistics for 1910 are advance
figures subject to minor revisions. The
item left blank cannot be obtained as
yet. The above figures represent sub
stantially all the mileage in the United
States. The item Met Earnings" used
above, refers to the earnings from opera
ton of all the railroads in the United
States after subtractng all operating ex-
penses, which include: ~ the cost of
transportation and traffic expenses; (O
the cost of maintenance of equipment;
(3) the cost Of maintenance Of way and
structures; and (D general expenses.
The statistics given for 1908. 1909 and
1910 are not compiled entirely according
to the rules of prior years because of
changes in the rules of the commission
taking effect during the fiscal year 1908;
but the final results in the foregoing
table are close enough to justify the COM
parison given above for the purpose
stated.
Study of this table reveals two i'm
portant facts. One is that in the last
ten years changes amounting to a
revolution have occurred in the bust
ness of operating railroads, these be-
ing brought about by greater traffic,
improved methods, larger and better
cars and locomotives and more stable
roadbeds. The last column of the
table shows that the average net earn
ings for each mile of railway in the
United States increased about 20 per
cent between 1898 and 1910, while
between 1883 and 1898 the increase of
such net earnings was almost negligi-
ble-only eight-tenths of one per cent
| for each mile of road. Thus in a
decade the development of methods
of operation was marvellous.
In the column showing the average
revenue for each ton hauled one mile
is revealed the second great eco
nomic fact, namely, that the COM
panies in the years of their greatest
earnings have been able to prevent
! further reductions in freight rates.
Assuming that the character of com
modities hauled has not changed sub
stantially. the statements of reve.
nue. for each ton-mile is a fair index
as to the average rates charged
though the variation in long and short
hauls would make it not exactly &C
curate.
The 23 years covered in the table
divide themselves into two periods
the first being the IL years from 1885
to 1898, and the second the 12 years
from 1899 to 1910 inclusive. The first
period Is that in which competition
caused reasonable distribution
among the shippers and consumers Of
the country of the profits resulting
from the development of the railroad
industry. For while during that periot
the annual net earnings of the rail
ways increased about 100000, 900
there was a decline of about 25 pei
cent. in freight rates. This was il
line with what is expected and wha
generally has resulted from grea
strides In industrial progress. Blu
with 1899 came great change. Ii
that year the annual net earnings O
the railways began to increase rapid

TEACHERS AND SHOP GIRLS

She Is Single.

Philadelphia.-Mi Katherine Long
shore, president of the Penn State
Teachers league, addressing meet
ing of the State Educational alliance,
advised school teachers to become
shop girls, should they wish to make
a more comfortable living. She held
that school teachers were underpaid,
and as an example, declared that the
incomes of many shop girls were
much larger than those of teachers.
She also suggested that young wom-
en- who had studied long and hard
with an idea of teaching, should think
twice before they rejected marriage
proposal.
Il had the choice of marrying or
adopting the profession of teaching" Z"
observed Miss Longshore, "and l
elected to teach. Now I am sorry that
I decided to teach"
