Eirds and Insect Life.

Mel of science are generally agreed
that birds are natures great check on
the excess Of insects and that they
maintain the balance between plant
and insect life. Ten thousand cater
pillars, it has been estimated, could
destroy every blade of grass on an
area Of cultivated land. The insect
population Of d single cherry tree In
tested with aphides has been estimat-
ed by d prominent entOmolOgist at no
less than 100000. The bird pOpula-
ton Of cultivated country districts has
been estimated at from 700 to 1000 per
square mile This Is small compared
with the number Of insects, yet as
each bird consumes hundreds Of In

FAMOUS G0ODWOOD.
Something About Historic English
Race Course,

Something About , Historic English
Race Course.
The Goodwood race course is quite
unique. 1t is a long way from a sta
ton and is not near any town. says the
London Taller. 1t is on a hill the top
of which IS shaped like a horseshoe,
the space between the two horns being
represented by deep ravine. The
course runs round the horseshoe. the
start being at the end Of one horn and
the finish at the end of the other. The
result Of this is that the equestrians
who on other courses contrive to see
both start and finish by the simple
process Of riding across while the race
IS in progress cannot do so at Good
wood. They must elect which they
will see and remain there. On the
other hand. the course is very easy to
follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratively modern. but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days Of William
Ill, when we hear OF the Goodwood
hunt as In existence. In 1900. how
ever, the then Duke Of Richmond
made a new course, which is practical
ly the present one. In 1901 the course
was completed. and In order to cele-
brate this regular meeting was got
up by the duke with the assistance Of
the hunt and some officers Of the Sus-
sex militia and yeomanry, and prizes
to the value of about f1.OOO were put
up This meant q good sum In those
DAYS This was the first GOOdwoOd

The Tonobah Disaster

SINCE the news first reached Western Nevada of the terrible dis
aacr that has befalen the people of Tonopah, by the loss OF nearly a
score of lives in the Belmont mire, this section, as well as every other
portion of the State. has felt almost an individual sorrow.
The daily papers throughout the world often report some calamity
that bcfans a certain section, the tenn is merely read, the people at a
distance think little more OF the matter, as it is OF of their range OF
friendship n personal observation. 1t is brought home only by a great
accident or other fatality. In the case of the Belmont nine horyor
the new is but a few miles away within II W border and the death
list is among men who were loved and honored by friends in nearly
every camp of the State.
As the news Oft the recovery of the dead from the depth comes 1t
only adds to the terrible condition. Men who were wage earners, IL
their efforts to keep body and soul together are killed while at duty.
There "a not a II indication that they were being lowered to their
death when they dropped from sight into the shaft, and inside of a
few minutes the lives of the workers had been snufed out.
The entire State bows its head with grief. Good men have been
called to the great unknown and while others will take their place as
workmen, they "a never be replaced in the hearts and minds OF those
who loved them.
Just how the fire started that wiped out the lives OF the mn will
probably never be known Tonopah has the sympathy OF the entire State
in her hour of sorrow, and while this is history making in the annals
Of the hunt for the precious metals, not all the precious metals of the
State can compensate for lives that are sacrahced in the hunt for the
money metals that underly the State The sympathy Of Western Ne
vada is extended to Tonopah in her hour Of sorrow.

ADVANCING With the Times

THE TELEGRAPH companies during the past year have introduced
a number of improvements in their service. Unlike the railroads they
have volunteered improved service. During the past year the night
service letter has been given the public and it has proven such a
general convenience that they are o Introducing a day service letter.
1t is certainly gratifying to note any public service corporation
volunteering to give the public a little the best of the game. The
corporations ire not figuring to lose anything by this introduction OF
new and cheaper systems, but are figuring that the volume of business
will more than compensate Tor the service given. 1t is a strict business
move but in the right direction.
Wells Fargo might take a lesson as well as the railroads. The ex-
press companies have been such hogs that the people almost regard any
movement or their part as N OF avance. A little modernism in the
adjustment of charges and giving the public a chance for the money
would be appreciated. The railroads have only come to it by force.
The public service corporations could gain public confidence with a little
more broad minded actions such as the telegraph companies are o
showing the people.
