THE BIRD CENSUS.

Certain findings in the preliminary
bird census Of the United States re-
Gently completed by the government
are Of exceptional interest. The pres
ent abundance of the bluebird is graft
flying for other reasons than the fact
that the bluebird is a valuable insect
destroyer Not many years ago al
most the entire bluebird population or
the eastern United States was wiped
out by a very severe blizzard. The
fact that the species has been able to
re-establish itself so we'll that 1t Is
once more among the most abundant
of our birds is most reassuring in
view of the difficulty experienced In
enforcing good bird-protective laws. 1t
seems to show that Some species OF
birds, at any rate, tend automatically
to increase in numbers as soon as
their numbers have been diminished
beyond certain point and that this
increase will take place regardless OF
whether the bird protective laws are
highly effective or not, although, OF
course, the increase would be much
swifter if the laws were properly ef-
fective. Tho fact that the bluebird
mas managed to come back" indicates
that the bird slaughter, even when 1t
is practiced on the scale on which II
Is conducted in this country, cannot
always prevent a depleted species
from undergoing an increase which
will restore it to it's normal strength
and thus re-establish the balance Of
nature"

Some of the friends and relatives
OF Miss Naomi Lynch have received
cards and letters from her, written
while on her way to Baltimore Incl

Lynch bid adieu to friends and rela-
tiyes when she started on her Jour

cheerfully they permitted her to de-
part.

the better part" with a handsome

Bohemla's Lace Industry.

Bohemia's great industry, that OF
lace-making by hand, is not shown by
the returns of declared exports to
this country for two reasons. In the
first place the bulk Of the laces is
bought by the visitors at the various
cures and personally carried home,
and, secondly, those obtained by the
representatives of the few large Ameri-
can firms that annually send buyers
there are for the most part shipped
first to London, then from London to
the United States, presumably that all
possible secrecy may be thrown around
the fact that supposedly real Belgian,
French and Italian laces are, in truth,
Bohemian, for, in addition to the typi-
cal Bohemian laces, fine valenciennes,
malines, cluny, ETC., are produced, as
are also fine italian laces" which are
shipped in large quantities to Italy for
the tourist trade. Some of the finer
Bohemian laces bring as high as 5000
a yard. There are some 10000 per.
sons employed in this work, which is
entirely home industry and confined
exclusively to the mountain districts.
Men, women and children all make
laces; often children as young as
six years are skilled workers.

The exports OF Panama hats from
Cartagena, Colombia, to the United
States have been steadily increasing.
During the past FIVE years the exports
were valued as follows: 1910. $780,
1884: 1911, s217,44S; 1912, s225.092;
1913, s263,SS2; 1914, s264,274. Prac-
tically all the exports from Cartagena
go to the United States. During 1914
the only other market was England,
which took hats to the value of $1,000.
To weave a fine hat, writes Consul
Ross Hazeltine, requires three to six
months with four or five hours work
daily. Two inferior hats OF ordinary
Toquilla straw, from which Panama
hats are made, can be woven in one
day. First-quality hats Of Toquilla are
sold in the foreign retail markets at
prices varying from $25 to 500 each.

SERIOUSLY BURNED.

A feverish battle is being made to
save the life of Miss Alice Quinn,
aged 10, of 1926 Opelousas street,
whose clothes were ignited by an
exploding can of gasoline in the kit
chen of her home.
Less seriously burned were Mrs.
Matte Quinn, the girls mother, and
Joseph Casey, an uncle, who strug-
gled with the burning girl and finally
smothered the flames in table cloth.
Mrs. Quinn was cleaning one of
her daughters dresses with gasoline
when she unwittingly placed the can
on gas stove, not noticing that one
burner was lighted.
A second later, the explosion shook
the entire house, and when the flash
had subsidized, Miss Quinn, covered
with flames, was running Historically
about the room, screaming in agony.
Mrs. Quinn was bewildered by the
shock. Mr.. Casey heard the explo-
sion and the screams and ran into
the kitchen, snatching a table cloth
off the dining room table as he passed
through. Mrs. Quinn recovered her
senses and she and Mr.. Casey seized
the girl and wrapped the cloth about
her
The girl was burned about the
face, arms and chest and it is feared
that she swallowed some of the
flames. DR.. Vincent Lowe was called
and he says her injuries are serious.
