Path of the kakapo.

Several birds make regular paths to

Antarctic penguins are noted by all
explorers in their region. Very no.
ticeable are those in the haunts of the
kakapo, the large, rock-dwelling, bur
row-nesting owl-like parrot OF the
mountains of New Zealand. They
beat down regular paths along the
spurs and ridges where they abound,
so that a person might be excused for
supposing they were meant for human
feet. 1t is along these avenues that
the birds 90 to and fro on their noe

to all who needed it. The wait in
of two weeks was filled with
war excitement and speculation. A
strict censorship of the English press,
however, gave the people but one
sided view Of war-torn Europe-and
that side was always favorable to
England and her allies.
The homeward-bound voyage was
one of nervous excitement. The big
boats were not allowed to dock at the
wharves as was their custom, but pas
sengers and baggage were taken out
on tenders and put on board the
ocean liners. The knowledge that we
were coaled and provisioned for a
three months run (should occasion
arise) filled all minds with uncertain

being sunk with their human freight

The majority OF the fine kid gloves
used In this country are imported from
France. The superiority OF French kid
gloves over all others. according to an
importer. is due above all TO the per
lection OF the skins. the kids being
reared In villages by poor peasants
who own only few goats and there
fore take great care OF them
Another reason Is that In France one
workman takes the prepared skin and
manipulates 1t himself right up TO the
finished glove. In Germany. on the
contrary. division OF labor is extensive
and great factories turn out In two or
three hours what requires two days
labor on the part OF the French work

WANTED-ELECTRICIAN
 TO WORK DEATH CHAIR
Arkansas Penitentiary Electrician Re. fused to ElectrOcute White Men.
 Applicants Few.

Little Rock, Nov 3O.-Luther Cast ling, electrician at the state peniten- tiary for the last four years, today an ncunced he will resign rather than of ficiate at the execution of white man, four of whom are now in tho in- stitution awaiting death in the cleo tric chair.
 Castling has electrocuted two ne- groes, but each time protested.
 0Penitentiary officials have been un- able to procure an electrician to take his place. A Pine Bluff man who agreed to take the place, failed to ap- pear when he learned he would have to operate the chair.
 Neil Mclaughlin, a white man, is sentenced to be electrocuted Wednes- day and negro Friday. Castling has agreed, if the governor will change the date, making the negro's electro cution come first, he will perform it and show the new man, if one is se- cured, how to operate the chair.
 Unless a new man is obtained one of the three commissioners will have to operate the chair.
 There are ten men in the peniten- tiary awaiting electrocution.
