BIRD PROTECTION
LAW STILL STANDS
Decision Of It's Unconstitutionality in
Kansas Does Not Affect Enforce
ment in other States.

In view of the fact that there is evi-
dence that not only the public, but. in
many instances the press of the coun-
try also, is under the impression that
the decision just rendered by Judge
John G. Pollock Of the federal court at
Topeka, Kan, in which he holds the
federal law for the protection of migra
tory birds to be unconstitutional, is
the final adjudication on that statute,
the following statement correcting this
erroneous impression has been issued
by President John B. Burnham of the
American Game Protection associations:
'Conservationists need feel no
alarm over the Kansas decision The
/ supreme court of the United States
now has before it on appeal a case
from Arkansas in which the coustitu-
; tionlity of the law will be finally pass
ed upon. That ease lacks certain i'm
portant elements favorable to the sus,
tanning of the law. which the Kansas
case, which viii be Incorporated with
it, will provide. In a sense, then,
Judge Pollock's decision is a welcome
one to those who are working to avert
the destruction of the wild life Of the
country
! THE Kansas decision is the third
that has been rendered by federal
Judges on the law. IN Arkansas, Judge
Jacob {. Trieber on May %, 1914. held
the measure unconstitutional, while
II South Dakota, Judge j. D. Elliot on
April IS, 1914, held it constitutional.
( It is to be remembered that the law
IS in full force and effect and VIII
doubtless be vigorously enforced by
the United States bureau of biological
survey everywhere in the United
States, with the exception of the urls
dictions of Judges Tncher and Pol

Nowadays" said Mrs. Barnard
"children are dressed for school as they
used to dress only for parties. Sunday

The submarine is almost universally
looked upon as Of modern invention,
which in its present form, it is. The
idea, however, is far from being new.
The following story of the first sub
marine is. told in" Great Events in the
History of North and South America, "

rich and published in 1851:
The Way It Was Made.
During the year l777,. David Bush
nell, a native of Connecticut made
several attempts to blow up the ships
of the enemy, by means of tOrpedoes.
This mode of warfare had employed
his thoughts during his collegiate
course, so that on graduating in l775,
his plans were in a good degree ma
tured. An account of some of his early
plans he gave to the world himself. The
following is q description Of his cele-
brated torpedo at bore resem-
