SKY MARAUDER IN AIRSHAFT
Birds cIina FearfuIIy to Fire Escape
While Sparrow Hawk Hovers
Near.

A servant maid in an apartment on
the fourth floor of the Victoria, at
Riverside drive and Ninety-seventh
street, opened the kitchen window
Monday morning and wondered why
dozens of sparrows that were hud-
ding on fire escape and window sill
did not take fright and scurry away.
Then she glanced outward and up
ward into the airshaft and discovered
the reason.
A sparrow hawk, sun glinting on its
wings, was wheeling rapidly high up
in the airshaft, but below the roof
level. Occasionally, when the marau-
der's keen eye glimpsed a sparrow
which hadn't taken refuge it darted
like a flash. Twice while the maid
watched the hawk made capture and
scared out of the airshaft.
The air pirate worked for about two
hours and disappeared shortly before
noon, but it was at least half an hour
later when the plump, brown spar
rows recovered from the terror caused
by the hawks appearance.

GODS OF LOVE AND JEALOUSY
Sometimes Associated, but Not by
Any Means Inseparable, as Gen.
orally Supposed.

The prevalent idea appears to be
that there can be no love without a
pretty large admixture of jealousy
and that, conversely, almost every case
of jealousy springs from some mis-
guided love affair. Whether this idea
is the right one or not is decidedly
open to question. Ideal love affairs
preclude jealousy altogether, and
where absolute trust and confidence
exist there is no room at all for the
green-eyed monster.
One curious attribute Of the jealous
woman who plans to sweep her rivals
out of the way is that she generally
shows a marked lack of brains In her
methods. Jealousy not only blunts all
her finer feelings, but at the same time
it causes curious confusion of mind,
which fails to take the proper grasp
of consequences and which is utterly
Illogical and childishly reckless in its
workings.
One has only to glance at the daily
papers to see this fact practically Illus
trated. The schemes Of the jealous
woman are the most childishly imma-
ture in the world, and in almost every
case fall to pieces and bring speedy
retribution on her own head For not
alone does the victim suffer. The worst
generally comes upon the plotter her
self.
Love very often does bring GER
tain amount of jealousy in its train
But at the same time it is entirely up
to ourselves to curb those feelings and
to keep them from outward and visible
expression. Moreover. it is perfectly
true that although love generally does
admit of jealousy. the latter can exist
and flourish pretty successfully with
out love.
Therefore in the last analysis we
may most assuredly claim that jeal
ousy and love are two distinct and
quite separable affairs.-Savannab

NEW IDEA IN ExcAvATING
Hydraulic Mining Cartridge Is Said to
Be the Most Powerful Yet
Devised.

1t Is often hard, and sometimes dan
gerous, to use ordinary explosives for
mining and excavating- in confined
spaces, a fact that has led to the de-
velopment of the hydraulic mining
cartridge as safe and effective sub.
stitute. The cartridge consists of a
steel cylinder containing numerous
small pistons that expand when water
is injected into them with a hand
pump. After drilling deep enough
hole, the workmen insert the cylinder,
and then set to work at the hand
pump. The tiny pistons expand until
their free extremities bear against the
mass of rock with constantly-increas
ing force, and the rock is gradually
fractured under the tremendous pres

Two Boys, Cow and Two Calves.

This is a short story of how two
Vermont boys, still in their teens.
have made some real money on thor
oughbred Guernsey. They paid 5000
for the animal when she was two
years old, and as their father was a
banker and they were away to school
a farmer was induced to keep the ami
NAL for them. They owned the COW
little over two years and during that
time she had two calves. The boys
found ready market for the calves
and have just sold the COW, the three
animals having been sold for s525.
The farmer charged them $125 for
keeping of the stock and other ex-
penses and the boys will net 500
apiece from the transaction. The boys
are quite satisfied with their invest
ment and incidentally have become
somewhat interested in life upon a
