Love Of Music Among Birds.

The theory advanced by Darwin
that the singing of birds is merely q
sexual characteristic. and that their
power Of song has been developed be-
cause only the best singers were prop
agated, is no longer accepted by natur-
allSts. Thus Henry Oldys holds that
birds are really mOtivated by love Of
music similar to that experienced by
human beings. In support of this cos-
tentiOn he cites the fact that birds will
sing when happy and be quiet when
unhappy and that they Will listen 10
and initiate superior singers of their
own kind. Canaries are trained by
other canarieS Of superior musical
ability which are often worth large
sums.

"Fine Italian Hand"

The origin of the phrase "tiua lta-
liam hand" goes back To the days of
the writing master and the Quill pen,
century ago, when the Italian hand
was taught for polite usage as well as
the clerical script for business pur-
poses and Il law text for sCrivenerS
and gentlemen of the bar That is one
explanation. Another is based on the
career of MachlavelIi. or more eSpe-
cially his instructions To princes on
the art of governing. \ third cXpana-
ton insists that the phrase should
read "tine Roman hand" and attri-
buteS il to MaChiavcllian Subtledes in
intrigues of all kinds. In support of
this is quoted the line from the fourth
scene, third act, of Twelfth Night:
Il think we do know the sweet Roman
hand"

and also matter for advertising and

type faces of various sizes up to the
large SO point which will be used
in heads and can be used in adver-

An added equipment to the ma
chine will be an electric melting pot
for the metal used in casting the
slugs upon which are the type faces.
The addition of this marvellous
machine to the already splendid
equipment of the Pioneer plant is
made necessary by rapidly increas-

Pioneer plant more efficient in turn

Frank and William Kidder, bro

the coast artillery branch of the
military service They left this noon
for Duluth, from where they will be

ing.
Officer Foucault reports that there
will be from three to five men from
Tenstrike to join the volunteers, who
expect to leave about December l..
He visited this village last evening
and received fine reception from
the citizens.
Word has also been received from
the war department not to accept
volunteers for the cavalry branch of
the service, as this department is
now filled. Only men who have had
previous service will be considered
in this branch. All other depart
ments calling for volunteers and men
who have a desire to serve the coun-
try can find desirable openings in
practically every trade line.

One of the most important steps
forward which the Pioneer has TAX
en- during the past few months is
the closing of a contract today for
the second linotype to be installed in
the mechanical department of the
Pioneer.
The new machine is the latest work

of the famous Mergenthaler Model
IA. It's cost and the cost of install
lation and additional equipment will
amount to over $4,000, and when
located in the Pioneer office will be

The installation of the new ma
chine will not mean the withdrawal
of the speedy Model linotype now

will be an addition, giving the P1o-

Washington, Nov. Pa revolu-

to relieve the war congestion is be-
ing planned. The pooling of rail-
way interests and equipment to the
most radical extent ever dreamed is
announced to take place soon.
The plans do not contemplate the
total elimination Of the passenger
service Of any line but further cur
tailment of the number and luxury
of some trains is certain.
An embargo on non-war products
will not be placed in the railways
hands but their recommendation Of
such products not carried before the
war meets with favor.
The details of voluntary wage
regulations are withheld but final
details are being perfected. The
government will sanction the dis
regard of the antitrust laws in the
pooling process.
