Economic Effect of Good Roads.

From the Pittsburgh Press.
Pennsylvania Is making great strides in
the matter of improving country roads.
That this work represents an excellent
investment for the people of any COM
munity Is proved by Uncle Sans recent
countrywide inquiry into the economic
effect of road improvement, revealing
positively. what had long been believed
by many, that each dollar prudently
spent In making the highways better
roadways for farm haulage added at
least dollar In every instance, and in
most instances, more than a dollar to
adjoining farm values.
Ihis was an almost immediate addition
But II you regard each farm as a plant
and keep its books as carefully as YOU
would keep the books of a store or
factory. allowance should also be made
Tor future increase in farm values due
to improved roads,
Ihe time is not far away when every
Dit or land in the country capable OF
being made productive will be needed
to feed the people Moreover capital

pressure are increasing the most notice.

Enlarging the Palais Mazarin.

From the Boston Transcript.
The five French academies recently

Partisan home of the institute. Louis
Leger called the meeting to order for
the consideration Of charging the
palais, which at all events must be
partly torn down and reconstructed on
account OF the fact that the Rue de
Rennes is soon to be cut through to the
Quai Cont. The original plan for en-
larging the institute, which has been
on foot for nearly fifty years. has I'M

tectural ensemble thus formed will be

Sacred Gulls of Utah.
From the New York Press.


Nearly forty years ago, when the
crops Of other western states and ter
ritories were destroyed by grasshop-
pers, those of Utah were saved by the
advent of large flocks of gulls. They
came from no one knows where, and
settled like so many sparrows all over
the land, devouring almost without
ceasing the foe that threatened the
food of the people.
The Mormons. holding these gulls to
be birds Of God, sent to His chosen
people to protect their crops, made it
penal offense to shoot them. The
effect of this law was to secure the
continued usefulness of the gulls and
to change their manners from the wild
ness of an unapproachable sea bird,
soaring and diving, to the tameness of
the barnyard fowl.
:. So tame did they become that they
habftually followed the pillow like a
flock of chickens. rising almost under
the feet of the Indifferent horses and
settling down at once in the furrow be-
hind. seeking out and eating greedily
all the worms and grubs. larvae and
mice and moles that the pillow had dis
turbed in it's passage.
Great numbers of the descendants of
the Mormons' gulls still exist in Utah.
They spend much of their time on an
island in the Great Salt lake and turn
their attention to the fish that are
brought down by the fresh water
streams into the lake. These are at
once strangled by the lakes excess Of
salt. and their bodies washed up on
the shore. II that animal deposit were
left for the fierce sun to dispose Of
the health of the human residents
would grievously suffer. The gulls
continue their beneficial service to the
people by doing the scavenger work
of buzzards and carriOn crows.

NEW YORK, September 6-The only

Market Summary.
Until the latter part Of the week the
stock market declined steadily. A
variety OF adverse influence combined
to depress the market and worked to
the advantage OF bear traders. who met
with little opposition until expansion
OF the short interest led to a strong
-upturn yesterday
Railroad stocks were relatively
heavier than industrials owing to the
poor showing made in the July state
ments OF many Of the large systems.
Grain and cotton carrying roads also
were affected by further reports Of ex-
tensive damage to crops from drought
Causes Of Depression.
New Haven was under particularly
heavy pressure following the Walling-
ford wreck, and the coalers were de-
pressed by the governments suit against
Reading, under the antitrust law. The
outflow OF money to the interior for
quent stinening of both time and call
money also operated against the stock
market.
The success Of the Union Pacific Of
Pacific were a material influence or
streng thening the market when the turn
came late in the. week Copper shares
were benefited by the advance in the
price Of copper metal.

THE GREAT ELM.
How Billy Found Out What It.
HEIGHT Was.


Virginia Bowdoin, in the Youths Companion.
OF all the trees that Billy knew, the
very tallest was the great elm in the
meadow lot near the river He heard
that the spire OF the new church at the
village was more than 100 feet tall, and
he felt sure that his tree was taller than
that.
One day Billy and his cousin Robert
were playing in the meadow. They sat
down to rest for a minute in the shade
of the great elm.
Il wish that I could find out how tall
this tree really u.s. said Billy.
why. that is easy enough" said Rob-
ert.
They ran to the barn, where Robert
lumber. With foot rule, which Billy
brought from the house. they found that
the pole measured almost exactly ten
feet in length. Taking both the pole and
the foot rule, they hurried back to the
meadow. Now you sit down and watch
me-" said Robert
He stuck the pole into the ground, not
far from the elm, but outside the place
where its great shadow fell. Then he
carefully measured the shadow that was
cast by the pole. and with equal care
measured the distance from the base of
the tree to the end of the shadow cast
by it's topmost branches.
Your elm is 12S feet tall he said, a
moment later.
How did you do it?' cried Billy
There could be nothing easier, said
his cousin. THE pole is ten feet tall
and 1 found that its shadow is just five
feet in length. Now, that means that 1t
takes two feet of the pole. with the sun
where it is now, to cast a foot of shadow.
OF course, it is the same with the tree /
found that the length of the trees
shadow is sixty-four feet. This means
that the tree itself is twice sixty-four
feet, or 128 feet high. Do you see? That
is the way our teacher had US find out
the height Of our fagpole."
Billy was quick enough to understand.
and before another day had passed he
had measured the height OF score OF
trees in the meadow and near the house.

MAY AUTHORIZE BISHOP
OF THE ARMY AND NAVY
Probable Action of Protestant Epis

by Bishop Harding.

bishop Of the army and navy" may
be authorized by the general convention
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church.
which meets in New York next month.
II such action should be taken the United
States will have the only diocese of the
kind in the world.
The proposition grows out of a memo
rial presented to the general convention
Of 1910. which met in Cincinnati, by the
Rt. Rev. DR.. Alfred Harding, the Bishop
OF Washington. He presented the paper
In behalf Of fourteen priests of the
Protestant Episcopal Church serving as
army and navy chaplains.
Need Advice of Bishop.
1t was set forth in the memorial that
the chaplains needed the counsel and ad-
vice of bishop: that they desired a
moro vital connection with the mission
airy activities Of the church, and that
they hoped it would be found practicable
to make them and their posts a special
diocese. The memorial further set forth
that 1t was desirable that the new do
cese be composed of the military and ma
val reservations in the United States and
1nsular possessions and the vessels of the
United States Navy. The petitioners also
held that the new diocese should have au-
thortty to hold convocations and select its
own clerical and lay deputies to the gem
eral convention.

Best Planned City in America.

Washington has long enjoyed the
reputation OF being the best planned city
IN America, the one large city i'm the
world which from the day of its foun-
dation has been built more or less con-
sistently along the lines of a carefully
thought out plan. Only recently has it
been realized that from the beginning
this plan has been incomplete While
il provided for great public buildings
and for dwellings of the wealthy and
well-to-do, 1t not only failed to provide
homes for wage-earners, but actually
offered temptations to house these
wage-earners In an unwholesome man
ner. The magnificent wide avenues de-
signed by Maj. L'Enfant, bordered along
d great part OF their distance by very
deep lots led inevitably to the coastruc-
ton OF winding, branching alleys and
the erection of hidden houses which
lad no place In the original plan.
Modern city planning lays the en-
phasis less on public buildings and
houlevards and more on providing sites
for homes. So the original plan for
Washington must be supplemented by
modern plan providing system OF
minor streets to let the wholesome light
OF publicity into the hidden slums OF
Washington and to provide economic
use for the backs of the overdeep lots
that line the avenues They Will do
away with the present temptation to
keep the old shacks standing or TO
build houses fronting on the avenues.
