Seven Tons Of Bfhies.
Seven tons OF Bibles. and none OF them
printed in English. have just been shipped
TO South America from the American
Bible Society house in Astor place. They
were In the Spanish and Portuguese
tongues. with part in the Indian and
other dialects. The transportation COM
panies charge freight on Bibles a. on
other things, but they make a favorable
rate.
The American Bible society is getting
ready for Bible work among the sailors
who will pass through the Panama canal
II is stated that 800 new ships are build
ing In Europe for the canal traffic. The
society is already at work in Panama and
the zone, but will enlarge its work AZ
the canal opens. Through the canal II
also plans TO do larger Bible work on
the west coast OF South America.
The society has finished the translation
Of books Of the New Testament for the
10000 ouechua Indians Of Peru and
Bolivia. who are descendants Of the old
Incss. None Of the seven tons Of Bibles
going out yesterday were Of these books,
however. as the ouechua Bibles are made
In Argentina. Since the Spanish conquest
the Inca descendants virtually have been
slaves and their petitions have been I'M

Forest Reserve Surveys.

Large areas OF agricultural land
in the forest reserves OF the Black
Hills, as well as other mountainous
regions of the west, will become more
readily available for occupancy and
cultivation under the Martin amend
ment to the agricultural bill proyid-
ing funds for the survey Of this land.
This will relieve the settler from do
ing the surveying at his own expense
and thus facilitate occupation. II Is
no more than right that the govern
ment should survey these lands the
same as others open to homesteading.
To have these clearings In the for
ests occupied by residents filling the
soil offers immense means Of protec-
tiop to the trees. and thus the gov
eminent is more than compensated
for the comparatively small outlay
1t makes for the survey. There are
wide areas OF such land In the Black
Hills In South Dakota and the Rock
les in Colorado. and the sooner II Is
brought under cultivation the better
for all interests. Only a year or SO
ago Colorado was urging action that
would invite more settlers TO this
land. a. the state needed It upon its
assessment rolls. to say nothing OF
the other needs involved. the needs
Of the settlers or those seeking OPP

sion is Of general application. dis

pies proves that it is indeed sui gene
ris. In a city not thousand miles
from New York the Sunday law with
regard to amusements is supposed to
be strictly enforced. 1t was noticed
recently, however, that a wealthy and
influential brewer who was the princi-
pal owner of a house not noted for
giving classic entertainments was per-
mitted to present unmolested sacred
concerts" which consisted principally
of high kicking and stale jokes. A
rival manager, learning of this went to
the police commissioner with his tale
of woe. That functionary, leaning his
chin on his hand, regarded the theatri-
cal man attentively for moment, and

ROMAN ROADS IN ENGLAND
Project of Putting Old Highways In
Useful Condition Is Being
Revived,

British motorists are showing some
interest in project which Is being re-
vived of reopening and putting in
disable condition the old Roman roads
that led out from London to the sur
rounding cities and that connected up
the outlying places. The ancient high
ways, built by the Roman generals for
military purposes, were well con-
structed and their routes were exceed
tngly straight, but they have apparent
ly in many instance been practically
abandoned.
Few except students of the subject
are aware of the great network Of
highways which were driven across
England, Wales and Scotland by the
Roman generals. The straightness Of
these roads probably is explained by
the fact that the cities and towns
they linked up were founded subse-
quent to the road making. The roads
were constructed for military purposes

turbulent Britons-and had no set OBJ
jective. Camps grew into cities and
towns founded at points of military
vantage. These naturally lost their
Importance in many instances when
the conquerors withdrew, and their
very sites are forgotten.-Feld.

EVER SEE A STOUT POSTMAN?
In London, for Instance, Carriers
Walk Over Sixteen Miles Garry
ing Forty Pounds

Has it ever struck you why a stout
postman is such rarity? The ques-
ton is worth attention
A postman who in a busy London
residential district walks from four
teen to sixteen miles a day, starts out
in the morning with mails weighing
something like eighty pounds. AS
his letters and packages are distrib-
uted, the weight of his bag, of course,
grows less, SO that the average weight
he carries during his trip Is forty
pounds. A pint of water weighs a
pound. A 10-quart pail weighs about
twenty pounds, and the average
weight the postman carries is equal
to two Of these. If you want to know
why postmen are thin, try a 15mile
walk with 10-quart pail Of water in
each hand.
The driver of brewery wagon, on
the other hand, is usually fat. The
reason is that he sits on the seat Of
his dray most of the day, and often
consumes large quantities Of liquid.
Policemen, too, often grow fat
through standing about on their beats.

Eaqles Clearing Away Pests.

The wild boars and foxes of Santa
Rosa Island, Cal, are being extermi-
mated rapidly and in a novel manner.
The American eagle is doing the work.
The eagles that have their habitat In
the rocky eminences Of the island
grow to immense size, the smallest
mature bird measuring about four feet
from tip to tip and the largest being
seven feet or more in sweep with
wings extended. They can carry thir-
ty or forty pounds dead weight for
miles with apparent ease. The eagle
swoops down upon its prey and rises
to height Of fifty feet or more with
the struggling animal clutched in it's
talons. If the pig shows too much
fight 1t is dropped, the fall killing the
animal. Then the eagle descends and
carries off the carcass to the distant
aerie. Foxes also are the prey of the
eagles.
