The Relief Hook and Ladder Fire Com
pany, whose engine house is located on

Royal and Fairfax streets. will have a
new engine house before the passage of
many months. Assurances of this fact
will be given by the finance committee of
the city council at a meeting of the coun-
Gil which will be held next Tuesday night.
The finance committee will, it is stated.
make favorable report, but recommend
that the action on the appropriation be
deferred until after the present fiscal
year, owing to the fact that the city will
be unable to make the appropriation this
fiscal year. Members Of the company
have been working assiduously for more
than a year past to have the city council
erect a more modern and larger house.
Tentative plans prepared provide for
the erection of house to cost approx
mately $4,000. The city owns the lot
on which two houses are located dt-
rectly east of the present structure,
having purchased it several years ago
primarily for the erection of an engine
house on the site. It is proposed that
the house to be erected will be a COM

FEW HUMMlNG BIRDS LEFT
Commercial Uses Have Nearly Exter
minated the Tiniest of Feath-
cred Creatures.

Our continent has monopoly Of
humming birds, the gems of the feath-
cred creation. OF these there are said
to be as many as four hundred species,
most of which confne themselves to
the tropical regions.
Only eighteen varieties live farther
north than Mexico. 1t is generally
thought that humming birds live upon
honey. This, however, is a mistake.
They do obtain and devour honey, it is
true, but most of their food consists
of the small insects which inhabit GER
tain flowers.
Humming birds are so small that
when they are captured for CONNER
cial purposes 1t is impossible to use
even the smallest shot for fear of in
juring their skins. They are therefore
stunned with a drop Of water from a
blowgun or syringe and fall into a
net, 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
fight is so swift that they can be
well seen only when poised above a
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

LIFE PRESERvER UNDER COAT
Inventor Gives Test Of His New
Device In the Hudson
River.

A new style of life preseryer, de-
signed for expert and amateur swim
mers as we'll as for all manner Of yes
sells. was tried out In the Hudson river
on One Hundred and F1fty-fifth street
the other day. The device was worn
by its inventor, Nathan MARITIME. of
704 Ninth avenue. II consists OF a
rubber belt, with two sacks, or in
dated balloons, just in front of the
shoulders Mr.. MARITIME demonstrated
that the life preserver can be worn
when debated underneath a bathing
suit or any ordinary clothing. and In
lated within a seconds time by
means Of the tubes, which hang over
the shoulder. II swimmer is sud-
denly afflicted with cramps he could
reach for the tubes, put them in his
mouth and initiate the bags before he
could sink. This Is what Mr.. Martina
said, and he demonstrated it by plung-
Ing into the Hudson river, where the
water is 20 feet deep, inflated the de-
! vice and floated about without effort.
Two hundred bathers watched the
demonstration.
The new life preserver Is made of
india rubber. The one used by Mr..
Martino is the only one ever made,
and cost ten dollars. Mr.. Martina said
that duplicates could be made for half
that sum He made the assertion that
it will support person Weighing SOC
pounds, and has the advantage over
the ordinary cork life preserver that
any one on board ship or swimming
can wear one Debated, without its fig
uring as any addition to the ordinary
clothing. Mr.. MARITIME, who says he
weighs 210 pounds and looks every
pound of it, floated about In the wa
ters of the Hudson without effort.

Duke Max of Bavaria had no greater
ielight than leaning over the counter
Of some small shopkeeper, talking Cos
sip or purchasing toys for his great
granddaughters in Austria. Innumer-
able stories are told illustrating his
character. r. III. Goldschmidt, a
wealthy banker of Frankfort, was once
journeying to Vienna. Opposite him
on the velvet cushion of the first class
car sat an old gentleman, whose dress
and looks betrayed no uncommon
rank. Are you on a pleasure trip"
asked the bankers vis-a-vis. YES"
answered the latter, IT am going to

fortunately married the Banker VIE

piled his companion; the incentive
to my trip is the same am going

God; she, too, Is rather fortunately
married to the emperor Of Austria"

Max, giving an account of her situa-
ton. His secretary handed him the
letter with the remark: "She deserves
