WHY IMMIGRANTS GO HOME
Various Causes Make the Exodus
One of Uncommon Pro-
portion.

Excepting the after-panic year 1905
when emigration from this country
was 100000 more than its immigration.
1911 will show the smallest net for
eign addition to our population for many
years. Up to December l the arrivals
in New York were 7S1,O5S departures
4S6, 1874; and in December the departures
are exceeding arrivals by many
thousands.
Only within recent years have the fed
eral officials sought to keep accurate
figures Of emigration, but the process
Of ebb and flow has always existed since
fast steamships began plying. Alarmists
who have pictured the dangers Of immi-
grafton have often Numbered by consid-
ering the gross figures only. In the dec
ade 1910 immigration rose TO the enor-
nous total Of S,796,000; but the net gain
from this source was much smaller than
the natural increase through births.
The heavy exodus this year Is in part
due to slack work. Building activity has
fallen off slightly. Railroad WORK is
proceeding slowly for financial reasons
But the custom among our foreign born
residents of taking a flying visit home
is growing irrespective of lack OF work
This year a special cause exists IN the
war In TripOli, of which students of fig
ures have not taken sufficient account.
Some thousands OF Italians have gone
eastward hoping for a chance to fight;
but much larger number who had been
planning to 90 back Some time" have
seized the present occasion, when polti-
cal differences are forgotten and when
the entire peninsula is in a patriotic
festival spirit over ia terra Italia" -

At given signal bottle OF milk was
smashed over the tongue OF the cart and
il set sail. The cheering was deafenins.
When 1t subsidized the wagon had pro-
coed an hour on its way and family there
came to the watchers the songs the pas
sengers were singing. 1t seems that IN
order that none might be blue at the
start the rules had been suspended and
the passengers had been permitted to In
dulge I'm songs of other days-days when
they did sailing of different sort than
water wagon sailing. The breezes car
ried the strains of Down Where the

Mine" Down In the City OF Booze"

At about l 80 o'clock a column OF smoke
was seen to rise from the wagon. Omar
Khayam was being burned in effigy. The
members of the funnel gang had orig
mated the idea, which quickly had been
taken up by the alcohol association and
other organizations.

Amid cheers and cries Of bon voyage

seats were standing or Clinging to the
sides Of the old cart. Some even were
standing on the hubs Of the whccls. Many
disappointed persons arrived too late to
secure passage, there being not a single
unoccupled inch of space ON the cart.
They were advised 10 run along behind.
The passage committee said some Of the
voyaEers are likely TO fan OFF within a
day or two and others will be permitted
10 take their places.

II has been learned that the new fire
hall at Twenty seventh and Madison
would be opened early in the new year.
This is the second hall TO be opened
within the last twelve months and there
is a general feeling OF satisfaction at the
increase Of fire protection.
The delay in opening the new hail is
due to the fact that as yet no water
facilities have been provided for it,
Recently the city council I'm a resolution
instructed the Omaha Water company to
lay mains and install hydrants contiguous
to fire hall No. at Twenty-seventh and
Madison and Twenty and Monroe
streets.
Charles Collins, local superintendent of
the water company. later requested the
mayor to issue more specific instructions
for the laying Of the water mains. The
order was at once given to the water
company to proceed under the supervl-
sion of City Engineer George Roberts.
The work viii be pushed without delay
and is expected to be completed within a
couple of weeks.
The opening Of the new hall will mark
the fifth addition to the local fire force.

department i'm controlling the Cudahy fire

HAD rs LDREN MAKE new JUNGLE
Eighty-SeVen Fer De Lance
Snakes in New York.
"WOrm" on Snakes Tail Lures
Prey to Death.

New York, Dec. "A South Ameri-
can jungle in miniature is being con-
structed al the Bronx Geological Gard
ems for the reception of 81 baby snakes
of the rare variety known as Fer De
Lance.
The entire 81 came to the zoo in a
single litter last week. To insure their
surviving in captivity. it was necessary
to counterfeit the natural conditions
of existence in the jungles and there
by entice them to eat properly and
take a suitable interest in life.
The Fer De Lance snake is provided
with food catcher" al the end of
Its tail. This is a yellow marking
which is an exact reproduction of
worm and the snake can make its tail
simulate the movements of real worm.
The young Fer De Lance to decoy
its food. crawls into the high grass,
and coiling up there. let's the tip of
its tail protrude a few inches.
Patiently it waits until a tree frog
or other victim is attracted. The frog
grabs the worm. and the snake grabs
the frog. In a very few minutes the
frog has disappeared and the snake
withdraws its decoy and contentedly
goes to sleep for three or four days.
