COLONY HAS FEW INDUSTRIES
Belgian Congo, After Thirty Years, Is
Still in the Early Stages Of
Development.

Belgian Congo, founded thirty years
ago, is still in the early stage of de-
velopment. So far practically no
manufacturing industries have yet
been established and, aside from the
important copper mines in the Ka-
tanga district, the only large indus
trial enterprises are the railways and
river transportation services. 1t
may be said that all business activi-
ties in the colony are devoted to the
collection OF tropical products-rub-
Der, ivory, gum copal, palm oil and
kernels, cacao, etc.-and the railway
and river services are in reality only
accessories to these activities, having
been established primarily to aid in
the transportation of these products
to the seaports. The gathering of rub
Der in Congo has never recovered its
former activity, and in all probability
will meyer again be SO rich a source
of income to the colony as it was pre-
vious to 1912. The cultivated product
from the plantations in the East In
dies is superior in quality to the wild
rubber of the Congo, and. owing to
the active competition of the larger
plantations and better location as to
shipping facilities, it may be placed
upon the market at lower rates.

The pinnated grouse, or prairie
chicken, is by no means the only de-
sirable game bird whose extinction is
threatened in Minnesota. The ruffed
grouse, or partridge, is in even great
er danger. Its growing scarcity has
been noted by many travellers along
country roads, who are accustomed to
seeing many of these birds feeding
along the way, especially in August.
This year very few we're seen, where
heretofore they have been numerous.
1t is probable that the automobile
is in large part responsible for the
rapid disappearance of the ruffed
grouse, for the automobile has COM
pletely changed the conditions under
which the bird is hunted. In former
days hunters went out perhaps once
a week, where now they can 60 every
afternoon. The radius of their actiy-
ity has also been greatly increased,
SC that places that were once beyond
their reach are now within easy motor
ing distance. Thus what were prac-
tically game refugees are no longer
such.-Minneapolis Journal.

RECOGNIZED VOICE OF THIEF
Blind Pencil Seller Able to "Identlfyv
Man Who Had Stolen Small Sum
From Him.

Jimmy" Moriarity, blind pencil
seller, identified by voice man
whose face he could not recognize. A
few weeks ago John Reggioni went to
the blind mans little room, offered
to sell him two chickens and discov-
cred he was really blind. He con-
cluded Moriarity was a miser, too.
New Years eve he came to collect.
He did not knock at the door, but
when Moriarity approached he sent
the old man to the floor with blow.
Reggioni. accompanied by seven 9TH
ers, was taken to the blind man. Mo-
riarity, after the fourth man had said,
ANY chickens today" shouted:
That's him"
Reggioni then confessed he had
stolen IL cents.
The blind man said later that after
hearing Reggioni's mother speak he
would not prosecute-New York Dis
