The first importation of ostriches
into the United States was made in
1882 from South Africa into c lifor-
mia. Several other importations
followed. and it was one of the later
importations that brought into this
coun ry the North African or M
bian bird, captured in the province
of Nubia. North Africa. The ma
jority of bird in this country to-day
are the result of these few importa-
tions of birds into California, and
consist almost wholly Of the S)uth
African breed. The ostriches are

Ostrich farms are in California.
Arizona. Texas. Arkansas. Florida
and Pennsylvania. There are about
10 farms that have more than 100
birds each, five farms that have
more than 400 birds each and one

the United States that are making a
business of ostrich farming. The
total aggregate of birds on these 25
farms amounts to about Z, 100. Of

Safe Flying.

The prospect that aviation may be
made reasonably safe is frightened
by two inventions recently brought
into use. Orville Wright's appliance
with which he has been experiment
ing at Dayton will, he claims, makes
the aeroplane so stable a vehicle
that there will be no extra hazard
in its use, while in CaIifornis young
woman. who had accompanied
an aviator in his flight. stepped form
the machine at 800 feet elevation
and came safely to the ground
through means of a parachute at
tached to her shoulders.
It may be long time before the
average man and woman can be per-
suaded to rely on this parachute for
safety, yet if all sviators should be
to prepared before making their
lights many shocking accidents
would be avoided.
OrVilie Wright's invention, If it
does all that is claimed for it, com.
bined with the parachute appliance.
should tend to make the aeroplane
much more nearly suited to practical
use than it is under present condi--
tions.

which from time immemorial has
been the sport of royalty and the
highest classes, and has only been de-
graded through the entirely unnec-

PRINCESS TO-DAY.
The Story in Brief of The
Drama Woman.

This Is an adaptation from the
well-known story by Wilkie Collins.
1t is dissertation on the psy sociology
of fear. 1t tends to show how a
normal mini may be influenced by
auto-suggestion and coincidence.
Throughout the tale we feel there is
lurking sort of Nemesis that pur-
sues the hero till the very end.
Whether or not this Nemesis, who is
given form in the shape of a disso
lutte young woman. really exists in
life is, Of course. questionable How
ever, she is the ruling spirit in the
young mans life and does havoc
with him. No matter where he goes
to hide from her influence, she
looms up and thrt atens him with
her vengeance. The knife, which is
the symbol of her power for des-
truction, is ever in her possession,
although the hero makes several at
tempts to destroy it: in which q :
tempts he, of course. is unsuccess-
full. The scenes are strikingly
forceful and the players rise up to
seemingly impossible heights in the
poignant climaxes. There are many
surprises and the end is genuinely
thrilling.

RACING HORSES
In THIS COUNTRY
Legislation Of Past Few Years
Has Been Entirely Too
Drastic.

Inc cincinnati Enquirer IN q lead
ing editorial crowds a lot of good
sense into a small space on the sub
ject of breeding the thoroughbred in
the United States and in providing
means for testing his speed and en-
durance. AS the Enquirer says. the
gambling feature can easily be elm
mated from the undertaking, just as
it is eliminated from baseball, golf
or other sports. The editorial fol-
lows: 81
The too radical legislation of late
years against horse racing has work.
ed great injury to this country in its
breeding of the highest and best
strains of this noble animal.
This is written in no defense of
the gambling which has attended this
sport in past times, nor in opposition
to legislation designed to prevent the
abuses which all true lovers of the
horse and horse racing are aware did
so much to array popular sentiment
in antagonism to the tests of speed
and physical powers Of the animal so
serviceable to mankind.
The public mind should and can
grasp the difference and distinction
of a policy tending to promote the
development, the propagation and
the continuance in our country of
the very best strains of the species
through trials of speed that determ-
inc superiority in certain classes or
individuals of the animals yet freed
from the gambling abuses so vicious
in the past.
"Vice is not necessary component
part of any sport, and no better ex
ample can be given as to this than
the British games of cricket, or golf
and our own national sport of base
ball.
THE gambling abuses attending
horse racing can readily be suppress
ed and eliminated, and they are not
in any sense a necessary accompani-
ment to the promotion of the devel-
opment in the United States of the
very finest strains of the equine
races.
THE legislature of the past few
years has been entirely too drastic,
as is evidenced by the shipment to
Europe of so many of the finest spec
linens of this country. which were
n ,eded here to perpetuate the classes
they represented, and which were
only brought to their present stand
ard through two centuries of careful
selection and breeding. 1t has been a
great loss to this country already,
and threatens to entirely destroy one
o. the industries of great use and
service to the republic and its peo-
pie.
Let the abuses of gambling on
the races be suppressed, but let the
rearing, the training, the testing of
the animals be encouraged and pro-
NOTED, as this is in every sense of the
word most commendable and praise
worthy.
"The various states, and even the
republic itself, could do no more mer
itorious work than now to legislate
in favor of securing for the United
States the very best specimens of the
various fine classes of horses in the
world. In the cases of the races,
which have proved the value of their
blood through all the other strains,
this can best be done through en-

London, Feb. 1.-THE House Of Lords
went on record against the Irish home
rule bill this evening by vote Of 81
stroying the effect of that measure was
adopted.
The amendment calls for general cleo
tion before the measure viii again be
taken up.
The Lords action was expected and
will have no effect on the action IN Com
mons.
Indications more favorable to COM
premise were apparent today. While the
Unionists were jubilant over the greatly
reduced majority by which the govern
ment defeated their demand for general
election, they admitted that the coalition
of Irish Nationalists and Liberals was
strong enough to pass the measure. The
Liberals, though certain that they had
the whip hand. were led to seek Il peace
fdi solution of the difficulty, believing
that many of their party had refused to
vote against the Unionists because of
listers threats to revolt and hoping that
a compromise on the home rule measure
would assure a united front on ths re-
niainder OF the legislative program.

Further attacks upon the home rule
bill were made in the debate in Par

Ulster, declared that 1t is impossible to

position.
Ulster considers IL better to face the

Ulster wants only to be let alone"
Lord Roberts, field marshal in the

soldiers OF the day, interrupted the Mar
