PROTECTING THE BIRDS.

The hunting season is near at hand
and it will be wise for the hunters of
Vermont in common with those of the
rest of the country to study carefully
the recently promulgated regulations
for the protection of migratory and in
sectivorous birds which will become
operative on the first of the coming
month. The practical effect of these
regulations is to establish close sea-
son on a very large number of birds for
the next half decade and they have been
prepared and adopted under the pro-
visions of the general agricultural bill
passed by the last Congress. They will
supercede all State game laws which
makes it especially advisable for the
hunter to familarize himself with
them as to avoid infraction since vio-
lation to them through ignorance will
not save the violator from the penalty
provided.
The effect of the new regulations is
to establish close seasons on about
600. which constitute about half of
those regarded as permanent or trans
lent residents of this country. The
United States is divided into two
zones, one a breeding zone made up
of States lying wholly or in part north
of latitude 40 and the Ohio river
and the other a wintering zone con-
sisting of States lying wholly or in
part south of that line.
1t is the purpose through these regu-
lations to conserve bird life through
out for itself and also for the purpose
of protecting foliage and crops from
the ravages of insect pests that infest
them. 1t is matter for rejoicing that
public sentiment has at last been suffi-
GENTLY potential to secure that meas
ure of protection for birds that ought
to have ibeen provided long ago. The
delay no doubt is attributable largely
to the fact that until within com
paratively short time a very consider
able part of the American people fail
ed to realize that the birds are not
alone a source of delight, but that
they are moreover staunch and valua.
BILE allies of the farmer, the fruit
grower, the gardener and the owner
of shade trees. From the enforcement
of these new regulations large anc
immediate benefits are certain to flow
and they will be so easily recognized
and so substantial as to excite wonder
that they were not long ago put
into effective operation. Montpelier

Ashland, N. H., Sept. 5.-Miss Alice
M. Lewis of Providence, r. l., was
killed and o. T. Williams, also of Prov
idence, severely injured tonight when
their motor car went over 80 foot en-
bankment.
The accident occurred two miles from
Ashland on the Plymouth road at a
point where bridge crosses the Merri-
mac river. There is a sharp curve in
the road at this point and it is sup
posed that the car took the turn at
high speed. An iron rail which guards
the bridge approach was torn away and
the car plunged to the bottom of the
steep cliff landing upside down in the
river bottom.
Miss Lewis body was found in three
feet of water, partly pinned under the
car. Williams also fell with the car
but was thrown clear of it, and grasped
tree projecting from the embankment.

Auto Kills Boy at Play.

Edward Wade, years old, who lived
with his widowed mother at las West
108th street, was run over and killed in
10th street, near Columbus avenue,
New York city, by an automobile
owned and operated by Edward Arsman
of $40 East Eighty-ninth street, who
was taking his invalid mother for an
airing. The police say the boy was
running from a number of companions

his neck. DIR. Kergan of Knickerbocker
hospital who was summoned, found the
boy dead. Mrs. Arsman became hyster-
ical and was treated by the ambulance

him in the house, but yesterday being

Many Autoists in Court.

Lynbl ook, L. l., September 8. More
than two score careless automobiles
paid visit to the Lynbrook court, yes
terday, in answer to summonses served
on them by Motorcycle Policeman Otto
Payne. who charged majority of them
with either not having rear red light
or with not having sufficient light shin
ing on their registered numbers. Fines
were imposed by Justice of the Peace
Edward T. Neu, ranging from SIS to $40.
More than $500 was collected.
II think some consideration should
be shown the respectable automobilist
who is on pleasure trip with his wife, J"
said a lawyer representing DR.. Julius
Valentine of III West Seventy first
street, Manhattan. II can see where
this punishment summoning joy riders
or speed fiends who put out their lights
to escape detention, fits in all right, but
do not think everyone should receive
the same treatment in court" Valen-
tine was fined $40.
Carter De Haven, the actor, appeared
in behalf of his chauffeur, Thomas Lehy,
of the New York Theatre. Mr.. De
Haven went into lengthy explanation,
telling the court that the auto lights
were burning and that the officer must
have made a mistake.
"You are not charged with having
your rear lights out" observed Police
man Payne. Your light was not shin
ing on the registered numbers"
"Oh, that's it. Excuse me, officer, "
apologized the actor, as he paid Lehy S
fine.

sition is based on the fact that in one
of the walls still sanding are to be
seen great slabs of stone which by &C.
tual measurement disclose length of
GO feet and height of 10 feet.
More wonderful still is the engineer
ing feat which placed them in the posi-
ton where they are to-day, 10 feet
above the level of the ground. No sign
of any cementing mixture is to be
found anywhere to bind together the
stones of this ancient structure. The
slabs have been squared so precisely
and polished so evenly that it is with
difficulty and only after most careful
search that the joining can be found.
So perfectly do they fit together that it
is impossible to thrust between them
even the small blade of pocket knife.
The beautiful perfection in all the
processes involved in the quarrying,
preparing of the stone and the building
of these ancient temples leads the SCI
| entists still further into wonderment
at the quality of the mental and moral
| equipment of these ancient workmen.
No laborer who stopped with his ham,
mer in the air at the stroke of the
clock ever hewed these stones. Such
conscientious work was only done with
love or under the urge of a great re-
ligious feeling. So it is that the
Psychologists are bordering over an
other problem-the quality and mind
and brain in the man of antiquity

WORLDS LARGEST STONE QUAR-

Enormous Block of Stone is 50

The largest stone ever quarried has
been found in Baalbec in Syria. 1t has
been one of the mysteries of the ages
how it was that the great blocks of
granite used in building the Pyramids
were ever raised to the heights and
swung into positions they now occupy.
Quite as much of a marvel to the mod
ern thinker is the problem involved in
quarrying so enormous block of stone
as the one discovered in Baalbec.
This monolith is SO feet long, IA feet
broad and II feet in depth. Its weight
is estimated at 1900 tons. Near by
stand the ruins of the ancient temple of

Among the accidents due to automo-
biles which we publish this week, there
are seventeen that resulted in death,
and number of others in serious in
jury. OF course the Register reports
but comparatively few of those who are
killed by automobiles. The wonder is
that the American Nation as whole do
not arise in their might and stop this
wholesale slaughter, which is constant
ly increasing, and must do so until by
rigorous laws, the causes that produce
it are remedied. 1t is, of course, evident
to all, that if automobiles like railroad
cars, are confined to roads built for their
use alone, the killing and injuring of
thousands of persons which is constantly
taking place will be entirely remedied
