The Heat In Lake Como.

Every one knows how beautiful the
Italian lakes are and how luXuriant is
the vegetation on their banks. This is
due in Il large extent to the heat alb
sorbed in summer by the water, stored
up and given out slowly in cold wealth
er. A calculation has been made by
scientist named Nercelli He estimates
that Lake Como has an area of 1876
square kilOmeters and an average depth
Of about 600 feet. In some places the
depth is twice that. During midsum-
mer this mass of water absOrbs each
bright day an amount of heat equal to
that produced by burning $4,000 tons
of coal. This storing up of heat goes
on from the end of February until the
water reaches its highest temperature
In August From that time ON the wa
ter gives out heat to the surrounding
stones until spring comes again, so that

Slaughter Of Birds to
End.

End.
The loud call has been heard
and answered and the indiscrim-
nate slaughter of birds is about
to end. The federal government
has stepped in and has said that
nowhere in this country may mi
gratOry game and insectivorous
birds be killed. except under
such rules and regulations as the
government may lay down.
Included in the agricultural ap-
preparation bill (McLean bill No.
6497) which President Taft sign
ed an hour before he ceased to
be president, is this provision:
"AlI wild geese, wild swans,
brant, wild ducks, snipe, plover,
woodcock, rail, wild pigeons and
all other migratory game and in
sectiIorOus birds which, in their
northern and southern migra-
tions pass through or do not re-
main permanently the entire
year within the borders of any
state or territory, shall hereafter
be deemed to be within the Gus
tody and protection of the gov
ernment of the United States,
and shall not be destroyed or ta,
ken contrary to regulations here
matter provided
Ornithologists say that some
of the wild life mentioned in the
legislation is practically extinct,
as a result of the slaughter that
has gone on for a century. For
instance. it is pointed out, only
one wild pigeon is now known to
exist in this country. 1t is in a
park at Cincinnati. Persons of
middle age can remember when,
during the migratory season,
wild pigeons were so plentiful in
Indiana that it was common
sport for men snd boys to bring
them to earth through the SER
vices of decoy pigeons and kill
them by the hundreds and even
thousands with clubs. There
were times when the pigeons in
their fight north or south shut
out the sun for hoursHat a time.

Money that Goes for
Travel.

IrdV0l.
We live in an age of wander
lust. Previous generations spent
their money on costly clothes, on
horses and gaming, on armor, on
castles; we spend ours on the We
hicles for moving about.
More than $3.50. 600, 900 a year
gees for automobiles. The num-
ber of passengers carriedon rail-
roads has progressed from 1872
43O,865 in 1890 to 971, ,683, 199,
nearly double. in 1910. In ten
years the number of Americans
travelling abroad has more than
doubled. In 1900 12O, ATT arrived
home after trips to foreign parts;
in 1910 there were 243, 191 who
made the journey ana returned.
Additional evidence could be ad-
duced to show>that ito keep on
the move'' rapidly is becoming
the average mans idol.
The wholesomeness of travel
within reasonable limits is evi-
dent. Doctors prescribe a change
of scene for their patients; en-
ployers reward faithful workers,
grown rusty by too long confine-
ment at a desk, by giving them
a trip; church congregations in
ject a new snap and vitality into
the PASTORS sermons by taking
up a purse and financing a jour-
ney. Everywhere it is recog-
nized that efficiency cannot be
long maintained unless the indi-
vidual occasionally gets the stim-
ulus of change.
Frequently a vacation is any,
thing but restful, often being a
mad rush from place to place in
an effort to crowd the maximum
of excitement into the short week
or two weeks set aside from the
fiftytwo of the year for recrea-
ton. Yet when men and women
return from such strenuous out
ings really re-created, with fresh
viewpoints, with increased in
terest in their work, and an add
ed snap in the doing of it, the
excitement which would seem to
be a drain on the system is
shown to be an invigorator.
The increase in the use of mo-
torcars and the larger aggregate
of money spent in travel thus is
shown as an evidence of prog
ress. Gradually we are learning
that there is no greater menace
to ability than sameness and no
greater stimulant to talent than
variety. The money which goes
for travel is an investment that
pays real dividends. Bowling

The tariff bill, with a large
horizontal push downward, anC
free sugar at end of three years
and free wool from start. passed
the House by a very large ma,
jority-more than two to one.
Yet not all the Democrats sup
porting. nor yet all the Republi'
cans and Progressives opposing
it, and now it has to run the
gauntlet of the Senate to become
a law. The meager Democratic
majority in the Senate and the
uncertainty of every Democratic
senator's support of free sugar
and wool renders the situation
and the prospect of the Under
wood bill passing that body in its
present form somewhat doubt
full. Yet the Democratic bosses
give assurance that it will finally
pass without material alteration.
President Wilson is standing firm
on the House frame of the bill,
and announces with positive as
isurance there will be no coln-
promise allowed. The tariff must
lbe changed to- conform to his
will. The mandate has gone forth
and no tcmporizing will be tol-
terated. We will see what we
