BLACKBIRDs.

The st. Louis Times recently ex
pressed the following beautiful senti
ment;
We know of a suburb in st.
Louis where the blackbirds make
their appearance every day. They
have their homes in a nearby
copse where a little stream runs;
but they ARE sociable fellows;
and in the evening, when a sight
of, them ought to be good for the
tired eyes Of men and women com
ing out Of the downtown caverns
and canyons of their homes, they
fly over the ~housetops, and pause
on the fences for a note Of greet
ing. The luster of their plumage
is more beautiful than precious
stones. Their grace and democratic
good fellowship ought tt gladden.
any heart.
But there are boys with cat rifles
in the neighborhood; and oc-
~casionally a ~blackbird is killed;
and frequently the beautiful fell
lows are frightened away.
We don't quite know what the
law has to say on the subject Of
killing blackbirds. Possibly moth
\ ItAS 4Ol LlO DAdChDlIQ Will steal a
grain Of corn occasionally; though
, we should prefer, in our own case,
to say that he accepted our hos
pitality to the extent Of whatever
: grain is left when the chickens
have finished their dinner. But
doubtless there are those who pre-
fer to think the blackbird is a
thief when he helps himself to
grain; and the wisdom of the
world has it that nothing can be
idle and retain the right to live
that is, nothing but a certain class
of men and women.
But without reference to the
law, there ought to be something
in every human heart to protest
against that conception Of the
blackbird which holds it as moth
Ing higher than a target.
He is a truly wonderful creature
the b~lackbird. One need only
watch him to be sure that into his
making there went the wind from
aNh1lltop. the dew of the grasses,
the scant of a woodland, a sun
beam from the dawn, and a lost
fragment Of the night; the ripple
Of running water, the magic Of
great spaces, the essence of the
spring.
We sincerely wish people
wouldn't shoot them; and we are
wondering what's to be expected
OF children when they grow up if
they haven't been taught to think
OF wild birds as something better
than targets.

Civic Center for Vancouver.

Consul Gen. r. E. Mansfield, Van
cauver: A plan for the establishment
of a civic center for Vancouver, which
embraces the purchase of several
squares Of property in the business
district and the construction of a SER
les Of buildings of special design at a.
cost of several million dollars, has
been receiving the serious considera-
ton Of the municipal authorities re-
Gently. Various plans for the buildings
and their arrangement have been sub
mttted, and the scheme has progressed
sufficiently that negotiations for thA
property required as a site are being
conducted by representatives Of the
city.
Valuations of property have been
placed in the hands of the mayor by
the land purchasing agent for the city,
which includes three different areas
with estimated values Of $5,551,10O.
$4,374,50 and $3,161,500 respectively.
Buildings and improvements on the
property would equal the cost Of the
land, making an aggregate cost of &c.
000,o 900 to $1o,o o 900 to the city for
the civic center.

HoIdino Up a Chinese Mirror.

Life: WI Ting-fang, who has been
Chinese minister to the United States,
has written a book in which he says
some things which will be received
with establishment.
He says that Americans spend too
much of their time in trying to make
others good n thus neglect them
selves. He say that American chill
dren are not respectful to their par
tents, and declares that he is some
times tempted to say that Asia will
have to civilize the west over again.
That is quite bad enough, but think
of this:
From personal observation I have
formed the opinion that the Chinese
are more contented than Americans
and certainly one meets more old peo-
pie in China than in America" "
WI Ting-fang was in this country
for eight years. What other truths
might he have discovered if his term
had been continued!

A PIow That Rang True.

Worlds Work: In Buenos Aires a.
few years ago an American salesman
Of plows wished to demonstrate to a
goods over that of a German competi-
tor. The American consul arranged
for the test.
The German ploWs proved to be al
most exact duplicates Of the American
implement in design and rather better
in finish. Wasting NJ time in explain
alton, the American salesman called
over a powerful peon and ordered him
to swing with all his strength with a
ten-Iound sledge upon the share of
one Of the American plows.
The husky Basque spat upon his
hands, hunched his muscular shout
ders, swung the heavy hammer in a
wide circle, and brought it down on
the spot indicated. A note as clear as
that Of. a bell rang out and the plow
went bounding across the floor, but,
save for the patch of red paint that
FUSED to and came off on the hammer
head, he share was unmarked. When
the operation was repeated upon one
of the German implements, the first
share was completely shattered, the
pieces being scattered about the floor
like SO much broken pottery. Thinking
that possibly the faultiness of this
snare ndd Deen an accident or con-
struction, perhaps Of over-tempering.
the dealer requested the peon to swing
upon h second sample. This blow
demonstrated that the German imple-
ments were not even consistent in
their effectiveness, for this share
doubled up under the blow and folded
lovingly in around the hammer like a
flower going to SLEEP at night.
There were tears in the consuIs
eyes as he wrung the salesman's
hand in congratulation, but all he said
was, And they still accuse us of ex-
porting wooden nutmegs!"

PHOTOGRAPHIC UNDER WATER
Pictures Taken Eighty Feet Down
Come Out Clear and Sharp.

PICTURES AIKEN Eighty rect Down
Come Out Clear and Sharp.
H. H. Windsor in Popular Mechan-
les: The latest, and one of the most
wonderful accomplishments ever made
In photography, is the submarine work.
The experiments were made at the
Bermudas, where clear water and the
natural light reflected by the white
coral bottom make conditions favor
able. Photographs taken at a depth of
eighty feet are clear and sharp, and
open up endless n in science
and natural history. The special div
ing apparatus, cameras and submarine
electric lights more than satisfied the
hopes Of their inventors.
1t will now be possible to bring to
every moving picture audience the
movements and work of the driver who
Is cent down to inspect a sunken ship,
n already plans are completed to
photograph vessels which are known
to nave been submerged a century
ago. For the present 100 feet is about
the limit of working possibilities, but
having accomplished this, there is
promise that cameras can be made to
work at depths far below the limit of
any living operator. If so, it will be
some ingenious machine, almost hu-
manlike in it's operations, which is to
bring from the depths a vision Of what
tr~anspires in those vast regions Of ut
ter darkness and profund stiffness.
OF course, for such work artificial
light is imperative.
1t seems an impossibility-and is to-
day-to attempt to photograph at
depths Of one or two miles, and yet
what has been accomplished the past
month was deemed equally unattain-
able a few years ago. 1t is unlikely,
but by no means impossible, that chill
dren of those who went down in the
Titanic may live to look upo an
| actual picture of that great steamship
resting on the oceans floor.
The mystery Of old ocean has ever
been as unfathomable as her depths,
but to a knowledge of animal life in
air and jungle there bids fair now to
be added that unknown life, strange
in form and action, which lives its life
| beneath the sea.

Lidgerwood Monitor: The attention
that Is being paid to the corn crop in
this state not only by the newspapers
but the farmers indicates that pros
perity will continue with the North
Dakota farmer. Not many years ago
it was generally believed that corn
could not be p%rofitably grown in the
state, but the experience Of the farm
ers in the past few years has shown
that they were wrong. The corn crop
makes cheap feed for hogs and cattle
and they bring sure money to the farm
er. And She farmers appear to know
this n are marketing larger numbers
