not yet been able to do it."
Mr.. Wood is disciplinarian. While all
his pets are fond of him. they yet know
that he demands obedience. The little
canary has recently picked up a doleful
note, which irritates Mr.. Wood excess
sively. In fact, 1t bothers him to such
an extent that he has threatened to get
another little songster II this one doesn't
stop. However. he is doing his best TO
break the bird of the habit, and every
time Dicky starts up Mr.. Wood yells out
angrily, IF you don't stop that I shall
whip you!" Usually he throws Q small
ball of paper at him. Needless to say
Dicky discontinues-for the time being.
But my crows" says Mr.. Wood, re-
turning to his favorite subject. "A crow
Is the most affectionate Of birds, SO far
as I have been able 10 find out. Once q
crow attaches himself to you he will al
ways be your friend. Leave him and he
will be fond of but one person till you
return. and when you do he will go back
to you. Their affection Is almost like
that of a dog. A crow must have play
things, and he really plays with them.
When I am busy hammering away, for
instance. Young Jack hammers away IN
his cage with a stick he has. They are
also the cleanest birds I know Even
while eating II the. tiniest BIT gets on
their plumage they stop Immediately and

But I have never been able to under
stand their fear" concluded Mr.. Wood.
1T Is so absolutely without reason. But SO
far, I am glad to say. Young Jack has
not developed any special brand Of fear

TRAVEL BY AIRSHIP
CONTEMPORARIES
Regular Lines Established and Tickets Sold from
Point to Point-Far Ahead of United States
in CommerciaHzing Aviation.

That the age Of air travel is actually
here is proved conclusively in an article
in the May number of Hampton's Maya
zine. The article is written by T. r.
MacMechen and Carl Dienstbach, who
are recognized authorities on this sub
ject. They say that from August I, 1910,
to January 81. 1911, 5000 men, women,
and children-some of the children as
young as three years-rode as passengers
in air ships. The ships covered a total
of 1900 miles in these journeys and the
passengers paid s122600 in fares. The
average number of passengers carried by
each ship on a trip was seven; the larg-
est number carried on any one trip was
thirty-two. CThis was accomplished by
the Deutschland l. travelling from Dus-
seldorf to Munster, Osna bruck, and re-
turn, a distance of $50 miles) The vari-
Gus passenger airships made AS regular
Journeys in the period specified. Each
trip covered from 80 to 125 miles. These
Journeys were chiefly tourists eXcur-
sions. starting from cities like Munich.
Dusseldorf, or Baden-Baden.
So far has airship passenger service
progressed in certain parts of Europe

may book with the steamship agency in

go on the Continent and will remain
abroad two years.

That was all that was needed to bring
him to my side. The wild crows tried to
get Jack to go with them. but he refused.
and from that time on he lived In mortal
terror of them.
Clever Old Bird.
II have seen some wonderful instances
Of intelligence on the part Of the crow.
One old fellow, for instance, used to de-
light in taking the top of backing box
TO the top of an old board which stood
against the house and, getting In it. slide
to the bottom. He found pleasure in that
at all times. One of my Jacks used to
like his bread soaked. One day !.e saw
box top. He took IT, turned 1t over, and
put his head in It. Then carrying 1t to
his trough, put 1t under the water for a
second and then proceeded to eat it.
LAS to a crows ability to talk, some
will and others will never learn how, but
do not believe that splitting their
tongues has anything to do with 1t. The
first Of the four birds have had recent

parrot, his conservation was intelligent,
not simply initiative. For instance. II
said to him. Hello. Jack" he would an

Hello, Polly

found that when any one called and said

A HUMAN RRTTlEBOx.
Freak Who Can Rattle His Ribs and
Move His Heart to One Side.

For five minutes the other afternoon
the beating Of typewriters and the
slashiDE of gems Of literature ceased
in a Detroit newspaper office while
the staff watched a man toss his
heart about inside his body at will
and dislocate any bone in his body he
chose.
"The human rattlcbox." he calls
himself. but his real name is Ellis
Whitman, and he was in Detroit To
give demonstration before the men,
bers of the Detroit Osteopathic So
ciety
Whitman can dislOCate any bone in
his body in a twist and/ as quickly
replace it. He can rattle his spine
against his ribs and throw his heart
from the place it is popularity sup
posed to be located in the body To a
place in the vicinity of his stomach
To prove that's no fake. he lets YOU
feel it go.
Whitman teaches the ostcopaths a
lot of things they don't know about
their own profession by disiointing
his body and putting il back into hu-
man shape. He is probably the onl-
man living who can move his heart.
but doctors have warned him not to
toy with that useful organ too much.

Whitman says there's no trick about
his unusual talents. but that he was
born that way. Five years after his
birth he says his mother used to adj
minister the rod frequently because he
amused himself by throwing his Shout

time was called to the attention of
who discovered his ex-
traordinary talents. Then Whitman
was sent on the road. and he has
been travelling up and down for %
years, appearing only before physi-
clans and Osteopaths. He abjures the
