FATAL TO MIGRATING BIRDS
Lighthouses XIII Many Thousands,
Which the Keepers Dispose Of
In City Markets.

A writer furnishes some striking
1gures concerning the havoc wrought
lmong migrating birds by big light
houses. The lighthouse on the Pointe
ie Penmarch, in Brittany, France, has
| revolving light of 10000, 900 candle
power. Visiting this on November 10
asst year, and again on the twelfth,
he observer saw tens of thousands OF
birds whirling round, and it seemed
% him that the light shot out a per-
'ect hail of electric sparks among the
migrants. Next morning he was pres
snt while the dead bodies were being
collected. They are dispatched every
lay to Paris by train, and the catch"
ne was told, often comprised from
1000 to 1000 victims; one morning
alone there had been more than 500
%oodcock In the bag"
On the two mornings he was pres
emit there were only a score of wood
cock the first day, but on the second
he ground was Uttered with from 900
20 1000 victims, chiefly blackbirds,
ducks, woodcock, thrushes and golden
ploVers. Another offender Is the light
house on Belle lie, off the south
coast of Brittany. On two dark
nights last November, with an east
wind blowing. this light caused the
death Of 1900 birds, including cur
Iews. thrushes, snipe, starlings, over
100 woodcock and some sparrows and
auails Thirdly. the Pilier lighthouse
kills every season some 700 woodcock.
An old sportsman Of Normandy de-
alares hat round the lighthouse of
Barfieur last November there were
picked up In the course Of four nights
10000 birds Of all sorts, including
1890 woodcook. The destruction OF
bird life by tho hundreds Of light
houses elsewhere can only be mag
lned.

BECCARS MUST
OBEY ORDERS
Keep Off Streets Where Traf-
fic Is Heavy.

Persons who because of some af
Fiction are permitted to solicit
money on the street, commonly
called beggars, may no longer OPP
crate on the principal streets of the
city Or in any place where traffic Is
heavy. The police began to rigidly
enforce this rule yesterday. One
man who was soliciting funds with
which to go to Baltimore and be
treated for blindness, was warned to
operate only on side streets where
there was little traffic.
Laws prohibit begging and they
are usually enforced in this respect
excepting in cases where persons are
afflicted 50 as to be unable to earn
q livelihood in any other way. Grip
pies are therefore usually overlooked
and in the past have been allowed
the freedom of the city. The au-
thorities have found traffic growing
so heavy that they can no longer be
tolerated In busy places.

Early Manuscripts.

The type of letter in early manu-
script was the same as that OF those
used on the earlier metal plates and
wax tablets. All letters were cap
itals. Minuscule, or small lettering,
as opposed to the majuscule, was in
vented in the seventh century. Be-
fore its invention there was no spac-
ing between the words. There was
no punctuation, unless possibly some
mark between sentences. When cur
sive writing came into general use
about the beginning OF the tenth CEN
fury the art was practiced by only a
few highly trained scribes. This con-
tinued all through the middle ages.
The scribes were artists, and they
carried their art to a high degree OF
perfection. Many of the manuscripts
of that period are very beautiful speci-
mems OF handiwork and as perfect as
print.
