The Greedy Birds.
From Harper's Magazine.


Birds are busy creatures, for all they
find SO much time to sing, and they
pay great deal more attention to
their stomachs than the poets ever
mention. You will come closer to the
facts in those government bulletins
which report the finding of 1000 mos
quitoes in the stomach of a single
martin, and similar interesting discov-
cries, than in the poets pages. I don't
know that / have ever seen 1t COM
puted how many raspberries a catbtrd
can eat, but / know it is more than l
care to spare from the vines in my
own garden, where a pair of catbirds
who nest each year in a red-osler dog
wood beneath my study window love
to feed. Out in our abandoned clear
ing, however. I do not begrudse them
the berries which grow in corner
where the vanished farmer made his
last cutting of timber. Many time
have lain on the ground up the slope
in fruiting season and watched cat
bird darting back and forth to these
vines. as If his appetite were Unsuitable,
his trim gun-metal body taking the
sun on head or wing-tip. Presently

gather some berries for myself. You

and so free from nerves" that the
doubt does not disturb it. Probably if
a Zeppelin really did come the average
Londoner would crowd up for good
place to see the bomb dropping. The
instinct for front seat seems to be
stronger than that of self-preserva-
ton. The Schutte-Lanz airship is not
unlike an ordinary non-rigid airship in
the shape of the balloon. 1t is not
cylindrical. but whale-shaped, like a
submarine. But in construction 1t is
like Zeppelin. with a rigid aluminium
framework. 1t is evidently considered
a successful type, for Germany has
been building as many of the Schultz

designer and builder. The inventor was
Schultz, and Lang is the name of the

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKsAH.
Madeira.

Madeira looks more like an artists
vision. or an environment for a myth,
than modern reality. The whole is
land is one vast mountain rising out
Of the sea, festooned with vines and
mosses. belted with woodlands and
often capped with snow. Mountain
torrents leap from it's shoulders into
the sea in columns Of silver and white
A city of red roofs and ivory walls lies
at its feet, and above are scattered
farms and terraced vineyards.
Funchal is the name of the town, and
upon close inspection 1t is found not
to be too utop'an to contain several ex-
cellent hotels. The people are Of practi-
cal turn of mind, also, and the first greet
ing the traveller receives is from fleet
clad only in white pantaloons, who
seek the privilege of diving into the
bay for copper coins. The town is
Spanish in its architecture, Its impress
sive facades and tall bell towers, and
pleasant succeed dwellings, and devil
Gus. cobble-stoned streets; but 1t is
English In it's orderly neatness, for
there are 5000 English living there.
and almost every one speaks English
after a fashion.
AS soon as you have established your
residence at one of the hotels, you will
be solicited to ascend the mountain in
car pushed up cogged track by a
painting pony engine-a prosaic way to
scale those Olympic heights. but de-
r:d-isy- the most convenient. You pass
through fields of sugar cane, orchards
of fruit trees and vineyards trained
over arbors. which shelter rows of
vegetables from a too persistent and
brilliant sunlight. Much of the farm
work on the island has to be done by
moonlight to save the laborers from
sunstroke.
The discovery that Madeira wine is
bad for the gout Is said to have ma
terially injured the business of the
peasants who owned vineyards. Many
of them have left to seek their for
tunes in this country. but there are no
signs of depopulation. People are
everywhere, in the fields and roads, and
children run beside the car to toss
garlands Of flowers to the travellers, for
the same mercenary purpose that the
boys of the waterside give diving ex-
hibitions.
When you have Viewed the scenery
from the top Of the mountain. and have
been acquainted with all Of the points
of interest by guide with a glib
tongue and an open palm, there still
remains the greatest adventure of all.
This consists in descending the noun
tain upon toboggan shod with steel,
which runs over a track cobbled with
pebbles. The swarthy natives hold
back the toboggan with ropes, so that
the speed Of your descent is not excess
sive, but it is a unique and thrilling
| experience, nevertheless.

Can Nations Be "Starved Out 2"
rom the American Review of Reviews.

From the American Review of Reviews.
Since the world awoke to find that
war was not only a possibility but
actually going on. we have not heard
much of the naive assertion that the
great bankers could prevent war by
refusing to finance it. That was very
much like saying that the owners OF
any other kind of property, say
horses, or hay, could prevent war by
refusing to let the government have
it, Now that it has been demonstrated
that government at war can get any
thing which exists within it's reach,
the discussion has turned to the ques-
tion as to whether the necessary sup
plies exist or not. Obviously that is
another matter. Even military
autocracy cannot get supplies which
do not physically exist within Its

Farm Machinery in War Time,

From the American Review Of Reviews.
Farm machinery is a means of saving
labor. That is, it takes less labor to
make a machine and then uss it than it
does to grow crops without it. None
Of these European countries has ever
shown any lack Of ingenuity in the
<esigning or making Of machinery,
where it was economical to use it, and
yet they do not use much farm ma
chinery Where labor is abundant and
cheap, there Is no strong reason for
scarce and dear. there is a strong rea-
son. If the war makes farm labor
scarce. there is no reason for fearing
that the inventors could not find ways
of economizing it through superior
tools and machinery. But here the
horse question arises again. Except
on a few large farms, no other source
of power for field work has been found
except. of course. oxen. which are not
very efficient in drawing machines. If
the army absorbs a large share of the
horses, the scarcity of power will pre-
vent the large use of machines.
farm machinery spread throughout the
north during our civil war? The
reaper. mower. thrasher. corn planter
and cultivator were all in use before
1860, but they multiplied more during
the next five years than during the
whole preceding period. One result
was that agricultural production In
the north increased every year of that
war. In the state Of Indiana. to take
a single example, the wheat crop in
| creased from 15.0oo.o0o bushels in 1859
| to 20.0OO,00O in 1868. in spite of the
fact that during the latter year one in
every ten of her male population was
in the army. But the north had an
| abundant supply Of horses and they
| were relatively cheap. 1t was merely a
| matter of finding ways Of substituting
| horse power. which was abundant, for
! power becomes as scarce in Europe as
man power. 1t is difficult to see what
| else can be substituted.

A Legacy to Egypt.
rom the London Chpnlcle.


Forty-five years ago the Empress Eu-
genie, the Emperor of Austria and a
host of other distinguished persons
were entertained with memorable
magnincence by Ismail. Viceroy Of
Egypt The occasion was the opening
OF the Suez canal If the ceremony
had taken place two DAYS later it
would have synchronized with the
birthday anniversary of Ferdinand do
Lesseps, the originator and leader of
the enterprise In 1898 First Consul
Napoleon hoped to make an island OF
AFRICA by cutting a canal across tho
lsthmus of Suez. but gave UP the idea
in the belief that a difference of some
thirty feet existed between the level OF
the Red sea and that of the Meuiter-

reach. Compared with this problem.
even that of financing the war. that
Is, Of keeping the war chest full Of
the means of buying supplies and pay
ing other expenses, Is of minor i'm
portance.
The question of food, not only for the
armies. but for the non-fighting popu-
lation as well, we will admit to be of
equal Importance with that of men or
ammunition. But 1t must be borne in
mind that the question of food is not
a question of living as we'll in time of
war as in time of peace. 1t is rather
question of finding the basic neces-
saries of life. A people who would
prefer to be whipped rather than un-
dergo a change of diet or give up
luxuries will probably get what it pre-
fers It is therefore important that
we study the available supplies of
these basic necessaries before jumping
to the conclusion that any of the war
ring countries can be starved into sub
mission.

This column will have a great deal
to say before the year 1915 is out on the
subject of the amateur, especially If we
are to see revival Of that perennial
discussion. Last week a brief history
was given here of that question in the
colleges. Now it is exciting the golf
ers. Their rule is weak, and has been,
and those who have studied the ques-
tion have known 1t for long time.
Ignorance is not so bad as humbug, but
it should be remembered at the same
time that when the former undertakes
to prescribe pills it is more deadly. for
the quack knows enough to keep his
drugs harmless, at least, while ignor-
ance may dole out all sorts of deadly
things in blissful Inconsistencies. We
want neither. We should have carefully
studied constructive legislation. The
English rule that governs golf anna
teurism Is at this rate far better than
ours, and, as a matter of fact, so is
their practice. But that is later
question.
Our rule forbids the acceptance of fee
money or Sratuity for playing or teach
ing the game, for making or repairing
golf clubs or balls. caddying or man
aging caddies or keeping green's after
the age of sixteen. or having been a
professional in any other branch of
sport. 1t does not forbid a player com
peting for money prize so long as he
does not win it.
The English rules forbid carrying
clubs for him after the age of sixteen
Receiving any consideration for play
ing or teaching the game.
Playing for money prize in any
competition.

promoters of a match or tournament
for playing
Now, when the American spirit is
aroused 1t sometimes becomes fanat-
ical and commits such wholesale
slaughter that for a long time it loses
either respect or following. Last year
proposition was made to declare pro-
fessional any golfer who played for a
stake. and this column commented sad
ly upon the fact that probably a ma
jority of all club members in this coun-
try, and certainly a large majority of
all British golfers for from sixteen to
sixty would be disqualified. If you
stand at first tee on any golf course
you will hear. PLAY you Nassau"
which means for ball on the first
nine, ball on the second nine and a

on a British golf course will ask you
before starting, What shall we have
