KILL BLACKBIRDS.

lola, Kan, Sept. 9.-Many
flocks Of blackbirds making their
roost in the trees in Courthouse
park have become such a nuisance
that Samuel Crumly, custodian of
the county building. invited the
hunters of the city tonight to turn
out and participate in a general
slaughter. The birds are so thick
that the branches of the trees are
black with them, and their twitter-
ing can be heard for blocks
around.

Observations
Steamship company

Steamship company plans to

MORTALITY OF
AUTOMOBILES

There is a publication called the
Automobile" which is probably
the highest authority we have on
automobiles. 1t goes into the
scientific construction for efficiency
on the same basis that an electric
paper goes into scientific construc-
ton of the dynamo for highest
efficiency. The Automobile" pub
fishes very clear and intelligent
article under the heading of "The
Mortality of AUTOMOBILES" in which
they go into the relation of weight
and speed giving tables of compar-
ison to illustrate the force of facts
given. 1t sums up the article in
these words: THE table should
have a marked bearing upon the
attitude of q lean pocket book. "
It is there indicated that an auto
mobile weighing 5000, if it is limit
ed in speed to 10 miles per hour,
will last fully half as long as car
of one-ffth the weight, provided
the latter is required to go at double
the speed of the heavier car. Max
ing another comparison; the table
indicates that an automobile that
weighs 1000 pounds, if it travels at
the rate of speed of 40 miles per
hour all of the time will last only
one-eighth of the life of 1000
pound automobile, if the latter is
required to go at speed of 20
miles per hour. But if an automo-
bile weighing 5000 pounds is driven
at so miles per hour all of the time,
the life of this car, in comparison
with the 10O0-pound automobile,

CHASING a Biz Bill.

There were people tearing their
hair at the treasury department in
Washington the other day. A hun
dred-dollar bill got loose, and the
hustle to find it was simply a tragedy.
A clerk in the pension office wanted
to give a hundred-dollar bill to his
mother for a birthday present. He
sent Jackson, the colored messenger
of the commissioner of pensions, down
to the treasury department with a
lot of small change to get a new 500
bill. Jackson, instead of putting the
bill in his pocket, as he thought he
had, tucked 1t into a wrinkle in his
shirt. 1t spilled out, and landed on
the floor of the treasury department.
When Jackson discovered his loss he
nearly had a fit. He hustled back to
the treasury department, however,
and there they told him 1t could not
have gone far if it wanted to- 1t had
been picked up by the time he got
back, and put back in the vaults with
the expectation that whoever had lost
1t would come after it.
