First "Gan,e Law"

The first game law for the protec- tion of wild animals and birds was enacted in l06S by William the Con- Queror. This decree of the Norman king was called forest law, but it's principal purpose was the preserva- tion of game. Forfeiture of property was made penalty for killing or dis abling any kind of wild beast, while the slayer of a stag, buck or boar, if convicted, had his eyes put out. These laws, of course, applied only to the masses, since the royalty and mo- bility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased. In facl, the princi- pal purpose of theApioneer game law was, to provide sport for the few. The first parliamentary game law in Eng land was passed in 1496. Game laws in America have become increasingly strict of late years, but they were adopted too late to save many species, notably the buffalo, from almost com plete extinction.

Steadying himself for thirdt attempt. and deliberating over every syllable, the advocate asked whether the horse really had sore shoulders, and then expanded into smile of triumph.

HOUSE OF PAVING BLOCKS.

Fire Building In Burlington. ia., Is
 Unique Structure.
 Burlington. Ia., is known far and wide for it's hills. It can be said that the city is located on seven hills. Con- sequently in the early days. when the streets were still unpaved. it became a necessity for fire protection to have hose stations located in the residence parts. While the incoming of the auto truck may in a measure make possible a reduction in the number of such sta tions. it will never be possible to cen traliZe all in one. The main line of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail road passes through the heart of the city, and all street crossings except one are at grade: hence from the stand point of, fire protection, the number of hose stations should never be greatly reduced. 1t was with this conclusion in mind that the city council came to the decision that hose station No. : should be q permanent structure.
 At about the same time the matter of repaving certain streets of the busi- ness section was decided upon. Two

IMPROVEMENT IN CALCUTTA.
City of India Is to Be Replanned and
 Made More Sanitary.

The Calcutta improvement trust has issued a comprehensive report on the work which it is about to take up in connection with the replanning of that city. The main point to be dealt with is the road problem. and this Is one of unusual difficulty. as Calcutta at present has neither well develop ed city street system nor proper con- nections with it's suburbs. As many as nine schemes for q new system of main roads were prepared. and the one finally selected has provided for com plete access to and from the city and internally to and from series of local centers. This scheme. if carried out as specified. will involve an expenditure of no less than S1S.75O.000 on the main city roads alone. The report also deals with the replanning of slum areas and insanitary property. The slum areas of Calcutta are particularly congested and unhealthful because of the exces- siye height of the buildings and mar rowness of tba streets. The result of these slum conditions is an infant mortality rate which is three times higher than any recorded in any Flu ropean city and the highest mortality rate from tuberculosis on record The Calcutta improvement trust is pre- pared to repair this insanitary prop erty on q wholesale scale The report finally deals with the planning of the outlying districts of the city with view to future developments.

FIRE HOUSE BUILT OF PAVING BLOCKS. blocks of Sioux Falls quartzite were to be repaved, and the suggestion to use the quartzite blocks for the hose sta tion was favorably considered. Con- sequently the blocks, which have serv- ed as pavement since 1889. are now beginning service as the exterior wall of hose station No. :.
 The blocks are laid with deep red mortar, the trimming is of white ce- ment and the roof of red tile. The building. 45 by 37 feet, faces to the west, with side driveway on the south The Mississippi river, only u short distance away, is on the east. and there is an excellent view from the porch on that side of the building. The Burlington Route railroad bridge crossing the river at this point is also in full view from the porch. From the rooms facing the north there is good view of this portion of the city, and on the south and west beautiful bluffs present themselves. In fact, from any point the outlook is pleasant for the occupants of the building, and the sta tion itself presents good appearance from all points.-American City.

6S r To Make a Barrel Filter.

Afine, unsoiled cask must be used for making filter. Other necessaries are a piece of fine brass wire cloth and a cparser wire cloth. each of size sufficient to make partition across the. barrel The coarser wire cloth is placed under the brass wire cloth to support it. and under both light cross frame of oak. to keep the wire from sagging. These are placed about three-quarters down the barrel and se- curely fastened in position. Then fill in upon the wire cloth about three inches in depth of clear. sharp sand then two inches of finely-broken char coal without any dust. Then on the charcoal place four inches of clear, sharp sand. Fill up the barrel with water, and draw from the foot, where a faucet has been inserted.

Wastefulness.

The average wheat production per acre in Minnesota is about thirteen bushels. In Denmark it is 3S; in Hol. land, S4; in England, B bushels. Pol iticians talk of the conservation of na. tional resources. What of the con- servation of soil values, the greatest asset the nation has? And what of the wastefulness which extracts from the soil but one-third of the riches it is capable of bearing? The prodigal- ity of congress, the wanton careless ness of cities, the improvidence of our spendthrifts are of minimum impor- tance compared with the agricultural waste in potential yields and the strange madness that changes annual ly thousands of prospectively good farmers into mediocre and sallow fiat dwellers.

EinMers in the Alps.

If the snow happens to be very deep in the Alps it Is not at all uncommon to find plants which open their flowers before the surface is reached. Thus the flowers blossom in a small cavity of frozen snow. This Towering is not limited to the opening of the petals alone. for in not a few cases the sta mems will actually bring their pollen to perfection. All this goes on al though the soldanellas have not felt the sun.

A MESSAGE FROM MARS.

Our young ncighhor. Earth, is at last beginning to learn some
 things ill the planning and build- ing of it's cities. 1t is learning that thousand men have more rights than one man and that
 million have more rights than a
 thousand. It is learning that unrestricted liberty of individual
 action is not synonymous with community welfare. It is learn
 ing that to landholderS as q whole restrictions are more val uable than full liberty. It is learning that the right of the in- } dividual to light and air and ease of access in a growing city is dependent on the giving up of the far less important right" of doing as he would with his land if. indeed, he is not one of the great majority whose economic condition does not permit the owning of any land whatsoever.
