HIGH PRICE FOR soMGBIRD
Five Thousand Dollars Is Asked for
the Canary-BuI!finch Called the
white Rose"

The recent international bird show
has provided some astonishing facts
and figures regarding the value of
songbirds. There are nearly one hun
dred classes OF canaries That they
can be Norwich or Lancashire, Bor-
der or Yorkshire, variegated, lizard,
unfiighted, clear, cross-bred, crested,
self or foul. conveys very little to the
average mind, but leaves one marvel

humming bird to the plump scarlet
cockatoo. allvie for popularity which up
to the present has been the monopoly
of the canary.
And these little birds are all quite
cheap. A few dollars will buy most
of them. but on the other hand $4,000
would be asked for gorgeous Grim
son bird of paradise, or $4,000 for the
canary-bullfinch white Rose. the
most expensive songbird in the
world.

DATE SET FOR END OF WAR
November II or April II Is the PredIo-
tIon Recently Made by
"Soothsnyer."

A soothsayer from zagarabia, who
wishes to remain unknown. has pre-
dicted the end Of the great war to-
ward the end of the year, and he in.
sists that peace win be concluded ON
November IL. His prediction is based
on logical mathematical calculations
which he says cannot fail, as proved
by past experience Of former wars.
In fact the same rule which en-
abled him to find out when this war
is going to end works to perfection
when applied to the last Napoleonic
war and the Franco-P Prussian war of
1870.
The last war against Napoleon start
cd In 1913 and ended in 1914. The
soothsayer adds up these two years
and divides the total, viz: 1927, into
two numbers OF figures each. viz:
Sc and 81. Then adding the two fig
ures OF each number, VIZ: plus 6
equals 8, and plus equals 9, he
gets the ninth day OF the ninth month,
viz: September .. the date when
peace was signed.
The same result is obtained in the
case OF the Franco-Prussian war, be-
gun in 1870 and ended In 1871. In
fact, 1870 plus 1871 equals 3741, or
81 and Al, and plus 7 equals 10.
while plus equals s. so that the
date of peace was May 10.
Assuming that the present war ends
this year then 1914 plus 1915 equals
1929, or 3S and 20; hence 8 plus 8
equals II and 2 plus 8 equals IL, and
the result is November II. i
Supposing. however. the war lasts
until 1916, then peace will be signed
on April IL.
The soothsayer does not explain on
what his prophecy that the war will
end this year is based.-New York

A Buggy RIdel

1t seems a long time since a more
appealing idyl has come to the at
tention of a jaded, gasoline-ridden pub
lie than the brief story Of the two
sailor lads who went buggy riding
Sunday. They hired an old horse
and buggy, that almost forgotten COM
bination sacred to Sunday afternoons
in the country during the golden era
OF the nineteenth century (survivals
of this sort must OF necessity be old,
and with their pancake hats lying in
the bottom of their quaint vehicle they
logged along contentedly toward White
Plains.
That is all, SO far as the printed
plot goes; but one must not forget
the apple blossoms they saw and
sniffed on their leisurely way, the gen.
tie May breezes from verdant May
meadows which stirred their youthful
locks caressingly, the voluble greet
ings from tree tops and barnyard and
swamp, lost neither through speed
nor throb of motor. which spoke to
them of home.-Exohange.

Submarine and AeropIans.

We may not be able TO rake peace
between the immediate combatants.
They are maddened beyond the reach
OF prayer, or counsels. Assuredly, the
era of universal brotherhood is no
where in sight But we can revise and
fix anew the laws of war and adjust
them to the altered conditions and en-
gineries and compel all parties to re-
spect them. This we can do and ought
to do, and the time is ripe for the
president to call Q congress of every
neutral nation to assemble here-at
Washington, the capital of the United
States OF America-Switzerland, Swe-
den and Norway, Holland. Belgium
and Denmark, Argentina, Chile and
Brazil-not to protest not to entreat,
but before God and man, to declare
that the submarine is a pirate. the
aeroplane a brigand, and that the ma
tlon employing either shall never
again be recognized as q member OF
The family Of nations. - Louisville

Playing Out Of Doors.

This is the time OF year when every
man has within him a desire to get
out of doors and play. And those who
have fewest opportunities to obtain out
of-door recreation during the year are
very likely to have the play fever in a
most virulent form. The sober and
dignified man, who sits all day and ev-
cry day In sober and dignified Office
feels that he really must get out some
where, where the grass is green and
the air is clean, and kick his sober
heels far toward the sky and release
a series of startling whoops from his
dignified interior. So, granting that
this is the time when people who work
desire to play out of doors, is it sur
prising that the people whose work is
called playing should also have the
fever of spring? Just as the regular
indoor workers get the fever, so do
the players-and each year more and
more OF the players are ending their
seasons work with out-ofdoor perfor.

Storms Puzzle Astronomers.

The source of magnetic storms" In
some measure is yet problematic, not
withstanding long years of observation
by the most devoted astronomers. one
theory is that positive electricity Is
generated from tropical water surfaces
and that the waves are swept north to
the magnetic poles, there TO meet neg
ative streams which produce these
phenomena. 1t has been demonstrated
that this luminous magnetic matter
can only manifest itself in very rare
atmospheres, and similar phenomena
have really been produced in glass
vessels from which the air has been
practically exhausted.
