CHANGE MADE BY CENTURIES
Interesting Comparison Between Pres.
ent Day and Time Of Compilation
Of Domesday Book.

The famous Domesday book of Will
fam the Conqueror, which he ordered
when he had conquered England, was
not only an inventory of the estates,
but a very careful valuation. This an
cient survey was strikingly like the
valuations of today, the differences
arising out Of the different Industrial
conditions to be met. 1t included q
count of acres, classified as wood, pas
ture, and meadow land; Of mills, fish
ponds and fisheries; of plows, hides,
cattle and slaves.
The land was valued as at the time
Of Edward, again as when granted by
the conqueror, and again as at the
time of the survey. But IL we set our
selves in fancy to that early task, we
see at once how the industrial condi-
tons to be dealt with at that time
simplified the domesday valuation to
very little more than an enumeration.
Acres differed little, excepe in their
power to yield crops; the social incre-
ment Of value was almost negligible.
Today we have vast aggregates Of
property brought together and devoted
as a whole to single uses. Except as
an aggregate and for the particular
use which the property as y whole
serves, the several parts have relative
Iy little value.-Engineer Magazine.

Bird Made lts Trap by Eating.

A nard pun, combined with q hearty
appetite, made q trap that caught an
English sparrow not long ago in
Washington. The sparrow found the
bun on the White House grounds and
liked 1t so well that it ate it's way in
one side and out of the other. BY the
time it had eaten halfway through the
bun, the bird had swelled up SO much
that it could not back out and evident
ly concluded that the only thing to do
was to eat its way out the other side.
The sparrow had succeeded in gorg-
ing itself enough to get its head out
when q park policeman found it.
But its appetite was not gone. When
the bun was broken open, it 1uttered
about for a moment and then few
away to join its friends in a feast OF
peandt crumbs stolen from the sQuir-
rels.-Popular Mechanics.
