One Of Natures Freaks

Some Of our youthful poultry fan.
sasrs may have seen peculiar feather
ID freaks, but, dare say. few OF
them have seen anything to equal one
that is owned by an English farmer.
This is cross between duck and an
ordinary cock fowl, and is owned by
. farmer living near Mil Hall, Lon.
1on, England.
The bird resembles the fowl by It's
somb as well as the tail, and It's legs
also are extremely like those OF a
fowl, with the exception OF its webbed
feet Both Its bill and body are
luck-like. 1t swims with the greatest
ease and can quack as well as crow.

Forelan Hothouse Grapes.

Expectation of English hothouse
grapes from Liverpool to the United
States, in which there was formerly
fair trade, has been greatly reduced
by Belgian competition. The chief
hothouse grape producing regions OF
England are Sussex and Kent.
Thence the fruit is sent to the
wholesale dealers at Covent Garden
market. in London, and thence to the
liverpool dealers. The season oX'
tends from April to December, during
which time prices range from l6 to 5t
cents pound.
Fresh grapes first appeared as a
separate item of declared export from
Brussels, Belgium, to the United
States in 1908, at which time the SHY
ments of fresh grapes totaled slS,G5.
In the following year these shipmer
rose to s4s,761, and in 1910 to 5000
The exports in 1911 were valued at
s4S,427.

Peculiar In Veterinary Annals.

A peculiar case came under the no.
tice of a surgeon at Molong, N,S.W"
recently. a valuable horse had been
staked near the shoulder with a hook,
and Immediately began to swell all
over in an amazing manner. The doc
tor found that from its nose to its
hoofs the horse had swollen to almost
twice its normal size. Apparently
wind had got in between the flesh and
the skin and blown 1t out like foot
ball. When the surgeons tapped the
animal in several places the wind es'
capped with a hiss The doctor says
Il is the first case OF It's kind that he
has met with in connection with ami
mails, though he had met with similar
cases In human beings.

inventions Of Real Worth the Work Of
Prisoner In Pennsylvania PenI-
tentlary.

There was exhibited in the Eastern
Penitentiary at Philadelphia a few
days ago, six mechanical devices
which one of the inmates OF the in
stitution has invented The man, John
Edwards, who is serving long term
for robbery, displayed so much ingen-
uity and skill in his work that the
warden furnished him with money and
gave him permission to spend his time
In the perfection of his inven-
tions.
One of the devices is burglar alarm
and doorbell Another which the in
ventor calls an internal combustion

prominent mechanical engineers. 1t
Is operated by means of gravity and
hydrostatic pressure. A "nolseless
railroad crossing system" is another
invention, the model of which he ex-
hibited. He has applied for patents in
Washington.
Edwards has invented an "ellipso-
graph" to be used by craftsmen and
architects in drawing ellipses. He
showed an Improvement In padlocks
where the tensile strength of the lock
is equal to the strength of six other
ordinary locks. He has perfected an
advertising device which consists OF
pieces of wood which can be applied
to almost any use, and upon which
pictures have been drawn. Among the
uses to which the broad boards can
be put Is in the construction oP the

Sacredness of the Cow In India.

The killing of animals is abhorrent
to the Hindoo. You may see the pious
Jain, who carries the doctrine of the
preservation Of life to an absurd ex-
treme, moving about on the Esplanade
or near trees and fields with a packet
of flour and sugar, in search of ants
and other insects, that he may feed
them from his store. In towns and
villages you will occasionally come
across the sacred bull, who roams
about at will, and helps himself TO
grain and other rooGstuff placed in
shops as he pleases. He is a symbol
of divinity. None will molest him;
everybody will hold him in reverence.
But in the case of the bull the rever-
ence is limited to the one who, so to
speak, is born in purple.
AS for the COW, the entire species Is
sacred, and to kill it is a cardinal
sin. Whenever the pious HindcO
passes by a COW, he touches it with
his hand and salutes 1t.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

We are glad to know that the dog
catcher ia going to continue his SER
vices In this city. While no doubt
he has made mistakes and probably
has exceeded his authority In some
respects, yet he has been forced to
take . great deal Of abuse and has
had a hard life of it generally.
It Is highly necessary for the city
that the streets be kept clear Of
stray dogs When other cities are
becoming more active along this
tine Perth Amboy should not relax
her efforts.
Metuohen has Just passed a reso-
luton requiring that all dogs be
muzzled when at large and the
Board of Health has been granted a
special appropriation with which to
carry on the campaign. The follow
ing from the Elizabeth Times shows
how they feel about the matter IN
that city:
THE agitation which has been
going on for some time to muzzle
dogs seems to have the object Of
having them mugzled anywhere
from thirty days to six months.
I'VE do~not understand why a dog
should not be muzzled at all times
when running loose In the streets.
Al dog is of not material value. II
Is purely an object OF sentiment and
to most people Is an expensive lax
aey. Personally, the writer when a
kid had his 'houn' dawgs' and had
many a fight about their being
Kicked around we can see now
that even then a pack OF hounds In
the country were rather d nuisance
than a benefit.
I'VE cannot see the logic or the
ordinary common sense in allowing
dogs to run loose on the streets I'M
muzzied when hardly a day passes
but what some child is bitten or
frightened or some mother suffers
almost a nervous breakdown
through fear on account of dogs. II
ISN'T a question OF whether or not
every dog o r a majority OF the dogs
Are dangerous. The most doctle
pets have turned into demons In 9
few seconds; have been attacked
With rabies and spread terror and 10
many Instances death in a communi-
tty.

REGULATING FERRY CHARGES.
1t is hardly likely that the Board
of Freeholders of Middlesex county
will be able to regulate the fars on
the ferry between this city and Tot
tenville. A recent decision OF the
court Of errors handed down in a
case brought by the Port Richmond
and Bergen Point Ferry Company
against the freeholders Of Hudson
county has much local bearing.
AS has been told in the NEWS, an
effort was made in Hudson county
to have the freeholders regulate the
ferry charges on the Bergen Point
ferry, operating between Bayonne
and Staten Island. On the strength
of this action, the EVENING NEWS
urged that the freeholders of this
county take similar action regarding
the rate of fare between this pity
and TottenviIle. The matter Az
taken up by the Board Of Trade And
was later given consideration by the
freeholders, but war laid over pend
Ing the decision OF the courts in re-
gard to the Bergen Point case.
The decision In the latter case
which has just been rendered,
states that the freeholders there
have the power to regulate the fare
on the ground that the Hepburn act,
passed by congress In 1906, does not
interfere with the power of this
state to adopt such regulations as
are embodied in the resolution OF
the freeholders of Hudson county.
The court a y that the Hepburn act
simply extends the Interstate com
merce act and the Jurisdiction of the
Interstate N commission
over ferries operated In connection
with railroads. Az the Port Rich
mond and thrsfsoEgen Point ferries
-
have never been SO xHsAled the
court holds that the Hepburn act
could not be pleaded as deprsving
freehoiders Of their powers.
In the ease Of the ferry between
this city ana T~cttenyiile, however.
The could would doubtless hold that
the Hepburn act does apply because
the local ferry 10 operated IN onne
tion with a railroad. This means
that the local terry comes under the
jurisdiction Of the Interstate COM
meroe commission and for that rea-
son the freehoiders have not power
to regulate charges.

CHOOSING A PROSECUTOR.

1t Is to be regretted that politics
have been brought into the appoint
ment OF a prosecutor to succeed the
late Theodore B. Booraem. Middle
sex county wants the best man avail
abs for the office. regardless OF how
he stands In connection with the
different political parties or the
fractions thereof. ms late prosecu-
tor established such a high standard
that 1t will require a mar standing
high in his profession to maintain
the pace thus set.
Just what Governor Wilson will
do in making the appointment IL not
known, but we doubt very much II
he win allow political prejudice to
influence him in naming a man for
SO important an office.

In the matter OF catching dogs
here, it is just as necessary TO cover
the southern end OF the city as else
where. There are many unmuzzied
eogs running at large in that sec
tion that have not been molested in
some time. While the dogs. per-
haps. are not as nero 40 in
some other parts and therefore the
returns may not be as great, yet
equal protection should be given the
