Citv Bird Clubs.

1t has taken more than twenty years
OF steady work by the National Audit
bon society to demonstrate the eco
uoInic value of birds to agriculture.
and the result is in our state laws
protecting song birds and the federal
laws protecting the migratory game
birds. incidentally, bird sanctuaries
have been established in several
places, remarks the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. Henry Ford's near Detroit,
and Avery island on the Gulf coast,
given by Mrs. Russell Sage, are note
worthy. Several state preserves have
been set aside for the game protec-
ton The bird club movement strives
to save the birds, with objects both
economic and esthetic. Bird club or
carnations have taken firm hold in
several of our large cities, and have
brought about increased attractive
ness to parks and residential sections
reclaiming the wild native birds. The
methods include planting trees and
shrubs suitable for nesting places and
bearing acceptable fruit for food, and
the provision of drinking fountains for
bird use. The methods have proved
successful-and does anything add
more charm to outdoors in city than
bird songs?

Better Than Postage Stamps.

Several American firms with unus-
ually heavy mailings use a postage
meter which, instead of afixing the
usual postage stamps on mail matter,
makes an impression in the upper
right-hand corner. The new postal
meter performs several tasks, such as
sealing, stamping, facing and counting
approximately $50 pieces of mail mat
ter minute. The envelopes, unsealed
and unstamped, are placed in COM
partment of the machine much in the
same manner as they would be placed
in box, the mechanism handling the
envelopes automatically from that
point, The stamping mechanism not
only makes an impression on the en-
yelopes, but also counts, the numbers
appearing in a descending serial on
top of the stamping meter. The meter
is so made that it's mechanism can
only be adjusted by the post Office au-
thorities, who set it for the number
Of impressions the user has paid for
When that number of impressions is
exhausted, the meter automatically

REAL CHAMBER OF HORRORS
Attic in New Works Criminal Court
Building Poor Place TO Spend
Pleasant Afternoon.

Any attic is collector OF forgotten
relics as thickly enveloped in ass0cIa-
tons as III dust But in the attic OF
the normal household there is very lit
tie that is gruesome and much that
is tender, and humorous, in it's
associations. The ghosts OF the past
which Turk under the domestic caves
are for the most part kindly, though
some may be melancholy and some
foolish. One finds them, on rare visits
to their musty retreat, making a gen
tie appeal to ones heart, seeking to
soften ones facial lines with ghostly
caresses. coaxing a philosophical vel
come.
We dwell upon these characteristics
simply to emphasize the contrast pre-
scented by the fearsome wraiths haunt
ing the attic of the criminal courts
building. A spring housekeeping
there, the first in many years of crime,
has discovered among the dust-gath-
ering contents a thousand suits taken
from the bodies of murdered men,
including the clothing worn by Caesar
Young, by Stanford White and Herman
Rosenthal There was the trunk ia
which Elsie Siegers body was found.
There were gambling outfits captured
in the spectacular raids of William
Travers Jerome There were weapons
of every description, the agencies OF
murder and assault-in fact, al &C
emulation of criminal exhibits cover
ing a decade and more of the city's
history and recalling to mind host
Of half-forgotten tragedies and sad
failures and grim triumphs Of JUS
tice.
Perhaps it is not altogether fair to
call this chamber of horrors our COM
munal attic, since to be completely
representative it should gather also
those more wholesome relics Of a peo-
pies activities which eventually find
their Judgment in museums. And yet
until this criminal courts attic more
nearly resembles in contents of asso-
citation the domestic species the mil
lennium will seem too far off to bother
about.-New York Tribune.

was 26 years ago, when AUTOMOBILES
were unknown. Statistics compiled by
government bureaus show that So per
cent of transportation throughout the
United States is done by the horse
Discussing the situation, Irving Par
menter, secretary of the New YORK
State Association of ,Horsemen, said:
| 'The reports of the federal department
of agriculture show 100000 horses
on the farms Of the United States at
The present time against 100000 in
1890 The value of the horses on the
farms alone is estimated at more than
$4,000, 100000. All the automobiles in
the United States are rated at $780,

THE Commercial Car Journal adj
mits that government statistics show
SIS per cent of the nations transporta-
ton is done by horses,
while It IS true that the estimated
number of horses in this state has
shrunk 5000 in the past year, due
probably to war exports. farm horses
have increased, according to federal
figures, from 591,00S as shown by the
1910 census, to 5000. In 1909 the
value of 10000 horses on New York
farms was placed at $S0,940,000. To-
day 100000 animals are valued at SS4,-
S51 900.
More horses are trucking on New
! York's streets today than two years
ago
Despite the importance of the horse
industry those interested in it failed to
organize until the horsemen were the
only class not represented by some
amalgamation. AS result their inter
ests were neglected. Highways were
built unfit for a horse to travel: no
proper provisions regulating stations
in service were made, and breeding
has declined until military and police
authorities have difficulty securing re-
mounts, and fire departments recon-
mend motor tractors because OF the
scarcity and cost of high grade horses.
Now the forsemen have organized,
representing the farms, the road
drivers. the trucksters, the track

THE New York State Association Of
Horsemen has no dispute with the mo-
florists. We desire to cooperate with
the automobile organizations, for our
aims are one. Internationally new
era is upon us.
AS the cities put the slow-moving
vehicles to the curb. so should the
states trunk roads provide smooth
center for faster travel, and upon
either flank there should be drives for
horses, of surface suitable for their
requirements The creation of sucn
drives is one of our aims. The asso-

and to see that the rights Of the horse

stsrilizer for School Pencils

In many public schools where the
children do not own their individual
pencils, but where these are distribut-
ed and collected by the teachers, it
has been felt that infectious diseases
might easily be communicated from
one child to another by the pencils.
For boys and girls have a habit of
chewing or sucking the ends of their
pencils, and the germs of the many
diseases that lurk in the mouth are
thus transferred to the soft wood.
Thus might any of the affections Of
the throat, nose and lungs, to say
nothing of the more serious diseases
that manifest themselves in sores of
the mouth, be transmitted.
It is to safeguard against this that
E. S. Mathis of Haddonfield, N. j., has
patented sterilizer for pencils. These
are put in a rack, their point being
immersed in formalfn gas, which kills
any germs that may be upon them.
Mr. Mathis says it will cost 81 year
to sterilize the pencils of a school
with his device.

curios;tiss Of Antitoxins.

One of the latest discoveries in the
field of antitoxins has been given the
name of anaphylaxis; it was made dur
ing experiments in injecting into dog
minute doses of a poison secreted by
sea anemones. The first dose produced
very little effect on the dog; it was fol-
lowed three weeks later by similar
DOSE The eXperimenter found to his
surprise that the second dose was
fatal; the first dose had rendered the
animal much more instead of less,
sensitive to the poison. It was found
later that if an injection into an ami
NAL of even so harmless a substance
as white of egg is followed after three
weeks by second injection, the re-
suit is fatal; but if the first inje8ion
is followed by further doses at inter
walls of a week there is no bad result.
The cause of this curious fact is not
known; but since it was discovered
medical men have been very careful
not to allow too long an interval to
elapse between two doses of any al
luminous compound.-Sir William
Ramsay, in Youths Companion.

The American Bible society has sent
out a warning to its friends and pa
irons that the price of Bibles and 9TH
er publications issued by it are likely
to be advanced in the near future.
The European war, through increas-
ing the prices of paper and other raw
material used in publishing houses. is
given as the cause.
The Bible society officers state that
they recently have placed orders for a
large quantity of paper at the price
they have been accustomed to pay
But ell materials used in printing
Bibles have advanced from 10 to 100
per cent and future purchases prob
ably will cause an increase.
Announcement is made that the
stock of Bibles and books printed in
foreign languages, previously pur-
chased from Germany. is being rapidly
exhausted and the society is unable to
fill all orders received.
There is no Indication at present
when the stock will be replenished, ac-
Cording to the announcements that
have been sent to the members and
patrons of the society.
