Our population Is a shifting one
many Of those whom we see leaving
one country district have merely gone
to swell the country jewellers else
where. The facts observed are moi
those habitually stated.
What is really happening IL an ex
traordinary uprising and growth Of
cities. We had 1894 cities In 1900
In 1910 these had become 2,40e, and
their inhabitants had increased from
thirty-one and a half to forty-two and
a half millions, a gain of thirty-ive
per cent. II we look back thirty years
instead Of ten we shall see 1.102 cities
become 2,40s and population of II.
772,438 grow to 42,02s,393. This IL
the spark of fire behind 80 much
smoke. Rural population is growing
fairly well, but cities are growing by
leaps and bounds. Not an exodus from
the country, but the development Of
cities has been the phenomenon OF the
generation.-Mark Jefferson. In the At
iantic.

Animal TRAINING.

Most people have heard of the ceie.
brated calculating horses of Elberfeld
who can do anything up to calculating
square roots, in addition to being pro
f1cient at spelling. 1t would now ap-
pear, according to the Paris Press.
that although these feats are actually
performed they are due to a very
clever device. An animal trainer has
informed the Matin that he has util-
lied system of wireless telegraphy
for training animals to do all sorts OF
tricks. The receiver Is placed on the
horses bride, while the trainer or an
assistant Municipalities the transmit
ter, and by code of signals. which
are not difficult to teach, the animals
can be made to give any desired IAN
swer." 1t is suggested that this sys.
tenn is used In the case Of the cele-
brated Elberfeld horses. Prior to the
utilization of wireless telegraphy, the
trainer mentioned employed a method
Of signals by means OF toothpick.

DAINnEsT OF BIRDS NESTS
Maple Leaf Of Ordinary Size viii Con-
oeal the Home Of the HUM
ming Bird.

The most exquisitely dainty home
built by the bill and feet of birds Ia
that of the ruby throated humming
bird, says a writer In the Craftsman
When completed 1t is scarcely larger
than an English walnut and Is usually
saddled on a small horizontal limb OF q
tree or shrub frequently many feet
from the ground. 1t is composed al
most entirely of soft plant hbers,
fragments of spiders webs sometimes
being used to hold them In shape. The
sides are thickly studded with bits OF
lichen. and practiced indeed Is the
eye of the man who can distinguish II
from knot on the limb. The eggs
are the size of Quinine pills.
Although the humming birds nest
is exceedingly frail, there appears to
be nothing on record to show that any
great numbers of them come to
grief during the summer rains. It is,
however, not called upon for long
tenure of occupancy. Within three
weeks after the two little white eggs
are laid the young have departed on
their tiny pinions

USE THE VACUUM CLEANER

Good-by to the currycombl The

say. Ant, Do Not Cooperate.

M. Cornetz. practised observer Of
insect life, asserts that ants know
nothing Of cooperation In their social
life. In proof he cites an experiment
which any one can repeat. Offer an
ant a piece of cheese shaped like q
shuttle; it SEXES the tip. turns it
about and starts dragging it in the d.
rection Of it's nest. Other ants arrive
and seize the cheese by its sides. It
continues to advance. but more slowly.
There Is no united effort; each ant
is trying to turn the crumb of cheese
around. If we chase on the ants on
the right the cheese will turn to the
right, for the other ants are pushing
It. Chase on those on the left and it
turns to the left for the same reason.

Where All Are Honest.

No police are needed In the most
honest village of Europe-that of Dez-
enaoker. near Ingolstadt, Bavaria. In
the last hundred years not single
case of theft has been recorded either
in the village or in the immediate
neighborhood But, what Is still more
remarkable, 1t has done its best to
conceal Its record from the general
public. and 1t Is only by accident that
the fact has become known. The VII
lage has been attempting some time
past to persuade the Bavarian author
tiles that 1t stands in no need of a
night watchman AS 1t is an isolated
village of only $50 inhabitants, it is
impossible to give it the benefit of
the rural police force, and-as In all
such cases under Bavarian admins
tration-it ia compelled to satisfy the
authorities with an amateur night
watch. At present there are twenty
young men on the roll for this serv-
ice, and they take 1t in turns year in
and year out. Lateriy, however. some
of the younger ones have found the
duty rather irksome and have been
asking whether 1t is necessary. The
village discussed the matter from
house to house. and the decision was
absolutely unanimous-the night
watch was absolutely unneeded.

oIassmaklno Revolution.

chemical formulas. Prof. Alexander
Silverman. head Of the chemical de-
partment of the University of Pitts
burgh. announced that developments
in the glass industry in the future
Will be as revolutionary as those in
the manufacture of steel in the past.
Il believe that the chemist will
completely revolutionize the manufac-
ture of glass within the next 20 or rs
years." Professor Silverman said,
"and that effects Will be produced
which have never been dreamed Of.
At the same time. the cost will be
reduced in many cases, and products
which at present are wasted will be
utilized"

Jenny LInd,s California Debut.

At Monterey. Cal. formerly a part
of Mexico, and ceded to the United
States during the Mexican war, is the
first public building built in Californis
and now a broken-down, weather
racked ruin of adobe. relates the
Health Magazine. In this building
Jenny Lind made her first Californis
debut, and when the gold the enthus
iastic miners had thrown upon the
stage after her performance was gath
cred up it was found to I'LL two I'VE

Of gold. and equal in value to about

MAN OF DESTINY
Third Governor Under Present
Constitution to Receive
Second Nomination.
HIS LONG PUBLIC CAREER.

When a man who has served New
Of three years receives second time
the nomination of his party for that Of
fee he Is singularly honored thereby.
Edward G. Stokes is the third COVER
nor OF the state upon whom this honor
has been bestowed since the adoption
Of the present state constitution in
1874. The others were Joel Parker,
governor in 1866 and 1925, and
Leon Albeit, governor in 1SS4-7 and
1908. Both of these were Demo
Gratis. If Mr.. Stokes is elected in No
vember he will be the first Republican
governor of New Jersey to be given a
second term since the state has been
operating under its present organic
law.
AS the second nomination of both
Parker and Albeit resulted in their
election the indications are that Mr..
Stokes will be likewise honored. That
this is In the very nature of the case
glance at the conditions surrounding
the governorship of New Jersey will
reveal. Under the constitution of 1914
the governor was given such wide ap-
pointing power that the trainers of
that document provided in section 8,
article 5, that 'he shall be incapable
of holding that Office for three years
next after his term of service shall
have expired" Their idea was that if
the governor were allowed to succeed
himself he would be able through the
tremendous patronage at his control to
build up a powerful political machine
and keep himself longer in office than
would be compatible with the public
welfare.
But these constitutional provisions

appointing power and the other pre-
venting him from directly succeeding
himself in Office, have made the office

ACCOUNTING FOR RED HAIR
EnelIshman Has Conc Deeply Into
the Subject and His Opinions Are
Worth Consideration.

Fifty small boys and girls, every
one Of them with red hair, who be-
long to the village of Burbage, a mile
from Nueneatan, are feeling ire
mendously important They used to
be sorry about their hair; now 1t is
just the other way round. 1t is a
nne thing to be carrots" in Burbage
Major Hurst. the scientist, is re-
sponsible for this. The explanation is
that Major Hurst has been making an
exhaustive inquiry into the theory
and practice Of red-headedness, and
has invited the British association
when it meets at Birmingham this
month to visit Burbage and examine
the material upon which he has based
his conclusions. The 80 red-haired
children, combed and brushed and in
their best bibs and fuckers, are to sit
in a row while the savants compare
the tints of their cranial coverings
and listen to the genealogical details
supplied by the learned major.
Truly a great day for the house OF
Rufusl It has waited for It since the
world began, and the first boy said:
YAH Carrotsi"
All mankind" Major Hurst said,
may be divided into those who are
red-haired and those who are not red
haired. 1t Is q fundamental differ
ence.
That is what the red-haired chill
dren of Burbags are saying. and they
have no doubt on which side the adj
vantage lies. AS a matter OF fact
there are about as many red-haired
people in this village as in any other
Of equal population. but the differ
ence Is that Burbage Rufuses have
come into their own and the others
have not.
"At some spots they are quite thick
on the ground. / found one family
Of twelve children. in which six were
Enthusiastically red, although both par
ents were dark"
In almost every case Of a red
haired child Major Hurst has sue
ceeded in discovering a red-haired
ancestor, and he thinks that practic-
ally the whole of the red-haired popu-
lation springs from single red-haired
man far back in the past.
Here are few of his conclusions,
In order for red to appear 1t must
be In the ancestry on both sides.
A red father and dark mother. or
vice versa. hardly ever had red
child
Two reds always have red or
spring. But it is exceedingly rare to
find two reds marry, as they seem
TO have a mutual antipathy.
1t is a popular fallacy that red
haired people have any distinctive
temperament-London News and

Some Historic HaIIatorma.

The hailstones that have been fall
ing In various parts OF England have
been compared in size with marbles,
pigeons eggs, etc. But no claim to
record magnitude is made for any of
these. 1t would be difficult to deter
mine what the record is. There are
numerous pretty well authenticated
cases of hailstones weighing half a
pound and more, but claims far beyond
that are made. Stones of six or eight
pounds we're said to have fallen at Ma
muir In 1719. The missionary, Father
Hue, records the fall in Tartary, in
1s48, of block of ice as big as q mill
stone, which took three days to melt.
In May. 1902, a Hungarian village re-
ported 1.100-pound block, requiring
eight men to move 1t, and in Tippoo's
time one as big as an elephant was
said to have fallen near Seringapatam.
