ORNITHOLOCISTS

The first American ornithologist to make thorough and extensive study of American birds was Alexander Wilson, who was born in Scotland just a century and a half ago to-day. As a young man he emigrated to Ameri- ca and became village schoolmaster near Philadelphia. In 1900 he con- ceived the idea of illustrating the birds of North America. He walk ed 1,260 miles in making collection of birds, earning his living by taking subscriptions for an encyclopedia of which he was an associate editor. His work was the first important study of American birds to issue from the press. In 1913, while on an expedition in search of marine waterfowl to which the final volume was to be devoted, he became i'll and died in Philadelphia few weeks later. John James Audu
 bon, native of New Orleans and the son of French admiral, took up the work and produced his monumental volumes, "The Birds of America" be- tween 1926 and 1888. Audubon's work was published in four volumes, at the expense of ITO persons who contribu- ted $1, 1000 each. About half of the subscribers to this fund were Euro peans, principally Englishmen and Frenchmen.

SWEET SINGER
 OF SWEDEN IS 57

Werner von Heidenstam, Sweden's most distinguished man of letters, was born fifty-seven years ago to-day in a manor house on the shores of Lake 'Vettern, in central Sweden. Although long popular in his native land, the Swedish poet and novelist has only lately attained to international prom thence. He is the scion of nold and aristocratic house and his work re- fleets the spirit of the old regime, rath- CT than of the new red-blooded dem- ocracy which in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries has now be- come so powerful as to threaten with extinction all distinctions based on caste and birth. In spite of his con- servatism von Heidenstam enjoys a widespread popularity, and his works are read and admired for their beauty and charm by the most uncompromis- ing of democrats.
 Won Heidenstam's earliest ambition was to become a painter, and he spent many years in Rome and Paris, study ing art. As a youth he visited the Orient and travelled all over Europe, andNthe influence of those early travels is to be noted in his works. At
  come an artist of words,-and at the age of thirty he published his first volume of verse, Pilgrimage and Wanderyears, the rich fruitage of his years of travel in East and West. His success was immediate, and the stern- est of critics lavished praises upon the young bard, who soon became the ac- knowledged leader of a new nationalZ istic school of Swedish literature. Won Heidenstam's idealfsm- and romantic ism were eagerly welcomed by many Swedes who had ltired of the made in Germany, pessimism which then in- fuenceo, Swedish literature to SO great an extent.
 While the critics rate von Heiden- stam highest as a poet, it is as a wri- ter of historical novels that he has gained his great popular following. The translations of these works give but faint conception of the majes- tic beauty and dignity which charac- terize the originals in the Swedish language, for in that tongue von Hei- denstam is a master. The author is also a powerful and giften orator, and his eloquence is irresistible.

crease is not yet ,proportionate to the growth in population.
 The available supply of. meat would be much greater if it were not for the enormous losses caused by dis ease and exposure. Since 1900 it is estimated that from 100000 to l. 475,000 cattle have died each year from disease and from 600,000 to l. 500,000 from exposure. With sheep the losses from disease have been about the same, but from exposure much aargerf YaM
 With swine the relative prevalence of hog cholera is perhaps the deter mining factor in the annual loss. In 1894 this was as low as 2,200,000. but in 1914 it amounted to 7,000,000. If these 1000 600 hogs had been saved. 1t is said, they would have produced enough meat to furnish every fam lily in the United States with 40 pounds of pork.
 < Despite these facts the United States remains the greatest meat eating as well as the grsatest meat producing nation in the world. Approximately twice as much meat is consumed in this country as in Germany before the war and the total normal con- sumption in Russia, Great Britain and France Is less than in Germany. The per capita consumption is also far greater in this country than any where else with the exception of Aus 'tralfa and New Zealand.
 Our own exports now consist largely of pork and pork products and these are derived to a great extent from coyn. In the fiscal years 1914 and 1915 we imported more fresh, chilled and frozen beef and mutton than we exported, and more beef of all de- scriptiona was imported in 1914, than was exported. In this limited respect we have Joined the great majority Practically the whole of the worlds export trade in meat is maintained by nine countriesr-Argentina Australia Canada, Denmark, Mexico, under nor mai conditions, New Zealand, the United States and Uruguay.

PRINCE FREDERICK

Prince Eitel Friederich, the second son of Emperor William, will win a crown in this war if the Kaiser real izes his ambition. Prince Eitel will fourteen months and a day after Will helms heart was gladdened by the birth of his eldest son. Eitel is said to be favorite of his imperial father: According to press dispatches it is al- legged that German victory would mean the restoration of Serbia under Austro-German suzerainty with Eitel the occupant of the throne. The Prince has also been mentioned as the Kaiser's choice for the kingship+ of Poland. EitePs education was con- ducted with a veiw to fitting him for high civil posts, and while still little more than a boy he was made governor of Pomerania. In peaceful fimes
 Eitels FrHzS was popular idol among the German people, who mani fested far more affection for him than for the Crown Prince. It is said that when the brothers appeared together the cheering and applause were all for Eitels greatly to the discomfiture of his elder brother. When political af- fairs in the Dual Monarfhy reached a critical state several years ago, the Hungarians were credited with the in- tention of ;, forming an Independent with Eitel as their monarch. Eitel's star has waned somewhat since the war. assmqst of his military exploits have been attended by fail ure. Early in the war he was in jured by being thrown from a horse, and this did not add to his popularity. Such commonplace accident seemed for . son of an Emperor by divine right, and poor Eitel re- ceived little sympathy.

UP THE NORTH SIDE
n c.. K. V & w. Kansas City to To-
Peka. Chooses Populated Route.

A shorter route and three times the
number of people on the line are fac
tors which have induced the Kansas
City, Kaw Valley & Western Interur-
ban company suddenly to announce
that the extension of the interurban
from Lawrence to Topeka will be on
the north side of the Kaw river, in
stead of on the south side, as had
been originally planned.
The announcement came as a sur
prise when the president of the COM
pany, X B. K1emm. appeared before
the Lawrence city officials and asked
for a revised franchise ordinance. Civ
ing the route of the road on the north
side of the river
Mr.. Klemm stated that there are
three times as many people along the
north line as there are on the south
line, and that the length of the road
would be shortened some five miles
He believes that a cut of twenty five
minutes in the running time from To-
peka TO Kansas City would be made
by the change.
An agreement with the Union Pa
cific, which has a 400-foot right of
way on the north side of the river
must be reached before the interur-
ban has a clear title to the northern
route.
