Fairly Wet World.

The Pacific ocean covers So, :
900, 600 miles, the Atlantic 30,-
100000 and the Indian, Arctic
and Antarctic 100000. To
stow away the contents of the
Pacific it would be necessary to
fill a tank one mile long, one mile
wide and one mile deep every
day for 440 years. Put in fig
ures, the Pacific ocean holds in
weight 948, 1000, 600, 900, 900, ,OOO,-
900 tons.
The Atlantic averaged a depth
of not quite three miles. Its wa
ter weighs 1926, 600, 900, 900, ,OOO,-
100000 tons, and a tank to con-
tain it would have each of it's
sides 43O miles long. The figures
of the other oceans are in the
same startling proportions. 1t
would take all the ssea water in
the world 100000 years to flow
over Niagara News.

Need Of Birds.

In addresses recently delivered
by distinguished gentlemen a
Columbus, O., and at Winons
Lake, Ind. much was said of the
great loss caused by insects thai
prey on crops and trees. Mr..
John Davey, an expert tree sur.
geon and naturalist, said:
Il am by profession tree sur
geon, but l long for the day when
it will be no longer necessary for
me to ply my trade. 1t is a SIM
pie thing to make tree surgery
unnecessary. If we could get
plenty of native song birds no
trees would be troubled by in
sects. That would eliminate the
danger of decay. And if we
could curb the destructive activ-
tiles of the tree butcher, would
be out of work for good. {.
Approximately $1OO, 900, 1000 loss
is caused annually by the de-
crease in the number of native
song birds and the increase in
the activities of the human, or
rather inhuman, tree butcher"
Professor Miller looks to the
fields, instead of the trees. and
finds the same needs there to
protect the crops. He says:
Unless quick measures are
taken in protecting the insect
feeding birds of the country, the
crops in a few years will be at
the mercy of the grasshoppers
and other insects, and instead of
having a land of plenty we will
have a DESERT
At one time the island of st.
Helena was a paradise of verdure
and birds. The birds sang sweet
ly and were of bright colors, and
the people of England took a
great fancy to them. They were
shipped for their songs, killed
for their plumes. The island was
robbed of them and it's insect
life got the upper hand. Fields
became bare, trees died and even
the sheep were bothered to death
by the ticks. St. Helena was on
the way to become a desert in
the sea, not because of lack of
rain, but lack of natural enemies
Of the small destructive forces.
Great Britain, the administrator,
saw the handwriting on the wall
and reversed the policy. It was
a long, hard fight, but it was won.
The birds are back, the island is
green, the sheep Craze in peace,
and there are only here and there
scars that serve as a warning to
man not to tamper with the div
inc balance, which is finely set.

No Tariff Changes at
Present.
BY LEO.
LEO.

the proposed tariff revision OF
Congress, and the veto meets
with a general approval. What
is the use of appointing a com
mission to investigate and report
with view of enabling the
Congress to enact something like
scientific tariff, and then proceed
in a bungling way before the re-
port is made?
In three months the commits
sion's report will be made. Con-
gress could afford to wait a few
weeks and then go about adjust
ing the tariff with some idea of
the fitness of things. Why didn't
they wait? There is only one
preason to be given, that is, the
tnsjority in the House wanted to
y9ay politics with the view of
taining something at the coming
presidential election.
The country is not suffering.
There is no popular demand for
tariff revision at this time. There
is a general idea prevailing that
the present majority in the House
is not prepared to make the nee
essary changes. Chairman Un-
derwood seems intelligent and
fair, but his work so far shows
that he needs more time for re-
Election, and better help to frame
tariff bill. The President in
is veto message points out the
%crudeness of the bills passed and
tells how difficult it would have
been to put in practice the pro-
visions proposed.
It is easy to cut and slash at |
the tariff schedules, but it re-
quires knowledge and experience
to formulate a tariff bill at once |
fair and scientific. Much fault |
is found with the Payne-Aldrich
law, and no doubt it needs re-
vision, but not a bungling revis-
ion to make it worse than it is.
The tariff commission was ap-
pointed with a view of assisting |
Congress to frame a bill on "a
scientific basis and free from
party politics. Is it not commen-
dable? But the majority in the
House wanted something on par
ty yines7a Democratic tariff, if

that the President would veto
any tariff bill passed at this spe-
cial session, simply because the |

factured and the President be |

Well, now somebody is in a |

is on his side. He will be vindi-
