eIRDs EAT GOOD FISH A OAl
Studies Of Destruction Of Finny Trlbei
In Utah Watsrs Have Been
Completed

Salt Lake-studies OF the destruc
tion OF fish m Utah waters by hsh-eat'
ing birds, not including Gulls, which
have Just beon completed by Fred w
Chambers, state FISH aud game com
missioner. tend TO indicate that they
consume or otherwise destroy 10000
fish n day, or 2l,00O00O FISH year
As a general rule, MIR. Chambers says,
these fsh.destroying birds are OF no
value for food purposes, are not In
sectivorous and perform little service
as scavengers, as in the case OF gulls.
IT may be said that the birds ! re-
fer 20 are OF little value, with the eH'
ception OF the snowy heron and the
black avocet snipe, which are relished
by some" says Mr.. Chambers. In
roads which birds make on our we'll
stocked streams presents a problem
which consider Of importance, and
my personal belief is that something
should be done TO eliminate them
Some are of the belief that gulls
destroy fish, but this is not true; they
are scavengers and are Of great value.
Snowy herons and black snipe eat
fish, hut in that they may be eaten
as food they should not be considered
with other birds, which, to my mind,
should be eliminated. Blue herons,
cranes and similar birds are among
those which are chiefly responsible
for the destruction Of fish, and the
more numerous the fish the greater
will be the development
The subject is a delicate one in
a way" continued Mr.. Chambers, be-
cause lovers of birds love them gen
orally and place little consideration in
the theory Of their actual worth cou
pied with their destructiveness."

rubber rose In New York from SO cents

THE New York supply was too

Gated to st. George. In the theater

the principal cemetery of ancient Ath-

dead Immediately outside the town
gates. On one of the tombstones we
see a bull, and there are many quaint
fragments of ancient tombs. Some
chambers cut in the rock are de-
scribed by a medieval tradition as
the prison of Socrates. The Stadion
has been entirely restored. 1t was
originally erected $50 b. c. It is in
teresting but had much better have
been left in ruins and a new Stadion
erected elsewhere. We note also the
ruins of Eleusis. They are merely a
drive from Athens and form one of
the best excursions in its immediate
neighborhood. To write adequately
of these wonderful ruins, the home of
the "Eleusinian Mysteries" would
take many columns.

PLANTS BOMBS IN THE AIR
Device Of Phiadelphian Would Seem
to BE the Most Deadly That Has
Been Invented.

The latest thing in bombs, to de-
stroy an enemy's aeroplanes or dirlg-
ibles, is used to bait sort of fish
hook, with which the military avia-
tor angles for his prey. When the
hook catches the hostile craft, the
bomb explodes, for, unlike the an
gler, the object of the fisherman in
this case is not to land what he
hooks, but to destroy it. This de-
vice, explained in an article on mil
itary aeronautics contributed to the
Flying Magazine, is the invention of
Joseph Steinmetz of Philadelphia, a
member of the Aero Club of America,
and the vice-president of the Aero Clul
of Pennsylvania.
The invention involves lowering
bombs to suitable distances from air?

or other flexible connection, and pro-

drawn upward by detection of its sup
porting wire through its meeting an
airship. Such DETECTION must occur
whenever there is contact between the
laterally moving, pCndant wire and an
airship, except only in the highly i'm
probable case where the wire and the
attacked airship are moving in the
same direction at substantially the
same speed, when explosion can be
caused by pulling the wire.
Aeroplanes equipped with such de-
vices would be menace to airships,
magazines, sheds, ships in repair and
under construction. Airships equipped
with larger devices of this type might
play havoc with sea and land forces,
particularly at night, and might at
tack and destroy an enemy's airships
and hangers, docks, magazines, ships
and terrorize very generally. There
would be slight means OF defense
against such airships except fast aero
planes armed with guns or similar de-
vices.

How Do You TaIk2

Are you in the habit of making
many gestures when you talk? An
Italian Psychologist maintains that as
an orators gestures are involuntary,
they afford test of his sincerity. For
instance, II the speaker plays with his
watch chain, he is on his guard, and
his utterances are not entirely frank
Should he sway his body from side to

indicate that his heart is in tho sub.
