FLOWER GOD GRANTED WINGS
Hummine Bird Has Well Been Caller
the Gem Of the Feathered
Creation. u

Our continent has a monopoly OF
humming birds. the gems Of the feath-
cred creation. OF these there are said
to be as many as 400 species, most Of
which confine themselves to the trop-
zeal regions.
Only eighteen varieties live further
north than Mexico. 1t Is generally
thought that humming birds live upon
honey. This. however, Is mistake
They do devour some honey, It Is
true, but most of their food consists
of the small insects which inhabit GER
tain flowers.
The little bird is therefore useful as
we'll as beautiful and has been called
a flower to which God has granted
wings.
Humming birds are 80 small that
when they are captured for CONNER
cial purposes IL Is impossible to use
even smallest shot for fear OF injurins
their skins. They are therefore
stunned with q drop of water from
a blow gun or syringe and fall into
a not, when they are quickly poisoned.
Humming birds vary in size from
those half as large as a sparrow to
those about the size Of bee. Their
flight is SO swift that they can be
well seen only when poised on
flower. The little creatures bid fair
to be exterminated on account of the
senseless and cruel fashion Of using
them as trimming for women's hats

exception Is made when dress mate
rails have been cut from the bolt.
One day recently a customer pur-
chased ten yards of a two-toned silk.
which the clerk assured her was the
most fashionable fabric Of the season.
When she reached home with her
purchase she decided. on reflection.
that wooden material would be
more serviceable.
Accordingly. she returned to the
store the next day and requested the
exchange. The clerk explained. that
1t was an impossibility. as the goods

NEW MAP OF THE WORLD
BY the Use Of Simple Uniform System
Il 10 Ineligible TO All the
Nations.

Publication Of the first sheets Of the
international map OF the world. on the
scale of one In a million, marks the
beginning OF new epoch In eartog-
raphy.
For the first time we are to have a
map Of the world on a, uniform sys-
tenn, In which all the sheets are ar
ranged to At together along the mar
gins-uniform In their manner OF
reckoning longitudes from the merid-
ian of Greenwich; uniform In their
manner Of reckoning heights In me-
tiers above the mean level Of the sea.
They will have the same method Of
indicating the relief of the hand, the
same conventional signs for towns
and roads, the same styles Of lettering
to distinguish between physical and
political features. In word, the
whole map will be written In the
same language, without difference
even Of idiom. and he who learns to
read one sheet may read them all.
Few realize the fresh Importance
acquired by the art Of map-making
within the last ten years. The bene-
ficiaries on large scale are the own
ers and users of motor cars. Only
second to them as users Of the prod
ucts of autographed science are the
aviators. The fying-machine is curl
ously dependent upon the map. An
aviator must learn to read maps as he
must learn to humor petroleum mo
tor or gasoline engine.-Current Liter

at the end OF that period he said nc

After the most careful investigation
and examination, clcnlency was granted
In lI6 OF the cases. Among these were
two young muVderers. Harry Duffield. 20
years old. and Fred Courscy, q, of Cam

this Influenced them to commit the crime,
Duffield s sentence was commuted 20 lf-

Another interesting case was that OF
John Waldron, an express driver OF JeT-

this case and had brought IL to the at

CASTRO NOT WANTED
IN UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23-Tflc coming
to America under the name OF Ruiz OF
Ciprisno Castro. onc-time president and
practically dictator OF Venezuela, was to-
day sent to the state department from
tho American embassy IN Paris. The
exile is aboard La Touraine. which Is
due In New York next Saturday and the
state department Is confronted with tho
dissgreesblc question OF what 10 do with
him.
Castro has been kept under suryicl-
lance as much as possible for tho last
three years, though now and then he has
disappeared from the sight and knowl-
edge Of the state department

cision OF the question as to his sdmis-
sion probably Will be left to the depart
ment OF commerce and labor. which Is
charged with the conduct OF immlgra-
ton.
Officials Of that depa rtment today said
Castro would he subjected TO a rigid ex-
animation Immediately upon landing TO

as to the purpose OF Castro's visit. Should
