UNCLE SANS OSTRICHES.
Experiments Which Have Been BE
gun i'm Salt River Valley.

Springfield Republican: Expert
ments have been begun in the Salt
river valley in Arizona by the federal
department of agriculture to solve
some OF the problems connected with
the raising of ostriches in the United
States. In their inquiries the scien-
lists of the department will have the
aid of farmers of that section. even
to the extent of furnishing birds, feed
and equipment.
The first importation of ostriches
into the United States was made in
1882 from South Africa into Cali
~fornia. Several other importations
were made after this date. and it was
one of these later importations that
brought into this country the North
African or Nubian bird. Most of the
birds in this country today are the
descendants of the birds imported in
to California, and consist almost
wholly of the South African breed.
The two breeds differ in that the
South African bird has a steel color
ed skin and bears feathers of great
length and width, while the Nubian
is slightly larger, with a pink colored
skin, bearing a feather with a heay-
Ter fiue, which is more or less unsym-
metrical, tending to be narrow and
one sided.
The ostriches in this country are
no longer confined to n locality,
but are spreading through the south
and are even in the north. Ostrich
farms are found in California, Ari-
IONA, Texas, Arkansas. Florida and
Pennsylvania. Ten farms have over
100 birds each, five farms have over
400 birds each and one farm has over
1000 birds. In all about seventy
five farms in the United States are
making a business of ostrich farming.
The number of birds on these farms
is about 7,100. of which $685. are in
Arizona.
Approximately 1900 of all the
birds are plucking birds and give on
an average IL pounds Of feathers
per bird, which are valued at $40 a
pound. Besides this, a pair of breed
ing birds will easily reach $3.50 each
and eggs for Matching sell at about
SO apiece. Egg shells find a limit
ed market as curiosities at SO cents
to 81 each.
The most valuable feathers are the
main wing feathers of the male bird.
If exceptionally fine these may bring
$500 to 5000 a pound. The average
run Of wing goods on the market Is

THE GERMAN liner
KAISER WILHELM DER CROSSE
SENT TO THE BOTTOM
HER HISTORY.

London, Aug. 29.-Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, first lord of the ad-
miralty, announced the sinking of
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse in the
house of commons. He said
The admiralty has just received
intelligence that the German armed
merchant cruiser Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse of $4,000 tons and armed with
ten 4-inch guns, has been sunk by
II. M. S. High Flyer off the west coast
of Africa.
This is the vessel which has been
interfering with traffic between this
country and the cape and is one of
the very few German armed auxiliary
cruisers which succeeded in getting
to sea. The survivors were landed
before the vessel sank. The High
Flyer had one killed and five wound
ed"
The Kaiser wilhelm der Crosse
was one of the palatial steamers of
the North German-Lloyd line. AT the
outbreak of the war she was convert
ed into an armed cruiser and since
has been reported active in searching
for British merchantmen. She had a
tonnage Of 14,349 and was built in
1897. She was 626 feet long, with a
beam of Sc feet.
The official war information bu-
reau announced that the following
message had been sent by the adj
miralty to the captain of the High
Flyer:
Bravo! You have rendered a
service not only TO Great Britain, but
to the peaceful commerce of the
world. The German officers and men
appear to have carried out their
duties with humanity and restraint
and therefore are worthy of seaman
like consideration"
New York, Aug. 29.-More than
once has the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse played a leading part in thrill
ing adventures at sea, in New York
harbor and in foreign ports.
When the great fire swept the Ho-
boken water front in 1900, destroy
ing the North German-Lloyd piers
and resulting in the loss of many
lives, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
lay at dock in the pathway of the
flames. She was hauled out by tugs
to the middle of the Hudson and es-
capped serious injury. Only three OF
her men were lost, much less than the
| loss in men sustained by other liners,
In November, 1906, she was in col.
lision off Cherbourg with the Royal
Mail steam packet liner Orinoco
Thirteen steerage passengers and
sailors met death in the crash.
Capt. Pollock, her commander
performed with her a feat of seaman,
ship in October, 1907, that will lone
be remembered for its brilliancy
: When in midocean the liner lost hel

ruddef, Capt, Pollock brought her
into Portland, Me-, a journey of sew
eral days, without a rudder, steering
her with her propellers. He accom-
plished this by working the screws
alternately and the feat was acclaim
ed as one of the most extraordinary
lei performed on the high sea
In August, 1910, Mayor Gaynol
was shot aboard the vessel as he wa
about to sail for Europe.
In December of the same year she
lost one of her propellers while or
her way to New York and she wa'
long delayed in reaching port.

LAST NIGHTS NEWS
OF THE GREAT WAR

London, Sept. 2.-Kaiser Wilhelm,

another important move today in the
great war drama. When the curtain
of night had fallen over the stage of
activities it was found the Germans
had crushed, pushed and beaten their
way ten miles nearer Paris. Yesterday
they were sixty miles away at the
nearest point Now they are fifty.

the following summary Of the situa-
ton this afternoon:
"In the north there are no signs Of
hostile troops at Arras, Lille, Bethune,
Douai and Lens. Parts of several Ger
man army corps in Belgium are NOV
iEg eastward into Germany.
'In Lorraine, our advance contin-
ues on the right bank Of the Sanon.
In the south the. situation is un-
changed. In upper Alsace the Ger
mans appear to have left Before Bel
fort there is only a thin curtain of
troops
Another German cavalry corps has
pushed on as far as the line from
scissors to Anisey-le- Chateau. In the
region of Rethel and of the Meuse
the enemy is inactive"
The allies lines have been strongly
reinforced and reserve forces have
also been stationed behind the British
and French troops in the positions
they have assumed to halt the Ger
man advance.
While the Kaiser has been making
his way felt in west Europe, his ally
Austria, has been meeting with con-
tinued reverses, according to reports
received this evening
Besides advancing in East Prussia,
the Russians are. also invading Ger
many in northern Galicia, their OBJ
jective being Koenigsbutte, in Prus-
sian Silesia, whence presumably they
will attempt to march on Berlin via
Breslau.
The Austrian army which has been
fighting in front of Lemberg has been
withdrawn. 1t did not enter the city
as the general staff desired to avoid
any general bombardment and the de-
tending force was withdrawn to the
south.
Almost simultaneously with this
rews of progress near Lemberg came
an admission from the general staff
st s.. Petersburg that two Russian
army corps had met disaster and three
generals-Samsoniv, Marcos and Pes
tich-had been killed in battle.
General Samsoniv was considered
cne of Russia's most capable and bril-
liant generals. He greatly distin-
guished himself in the Russo-Japa-
tnese war, where he commanded a di-
vision of Siberian Cossacks.
| General Marcos was commander OF
an army corps and General Pestitcf
was attached to the general staff.
