1.-The quail, or bobwhite," says a
writer In Farm and Flreside, is one
Of our prettiest as well as one Of our
most useful birds. He deserves to be
called national bird Just as much as
the American eagle. Why should the
farmers and land owners allow his de-
struction and what seems to be his
eventual determination?
Hunting is a pleasure and recrea-
ton farmer could have right at home
on his own farm II he could save the
game from the city sportsman. Why
could not the farmer, when he has per-
mitted the quail to multiply and to be-
come a benefit and a blessing to the
community. have the much needed
recreation In shooting the surplus
game? think the farmers could be 80
organized that they could control the
wandering and the wantonness of the
city sportsman and preserve bobwhite
and other game"

The Public Makes The Market

The public makes the stock market
The impression that a few operators

gentlemen could combine and enrich
themselves beyond the dreams of ava

No; the stock market is made by the
public. When the public is scared and
refuses to buy the market languishes

walls. When the public is badly scared

losses. big and little operators alike.

Bio Naval 0una.

Firing big gun on one of our battle
ships is costly proposition.
A fourteen inch shell weighs l.4OO
pounds and costs 800.
A twelve inch shell, already consid-
cred one Of our smaller" shots, costs
5000.
Fourteen inch guns throw proJectiles
fourteen or sixteen miles. They will
pierce an eleven inch Krupp steel plate
at seven miles.
Twelve inch guns will shoot Just as
far, but will pierce the eleven inch
plate only at five miles.
When big guns are fired every man
on the battleship has to stuff his ears
with cotton and touch the deck with
his toes and finger tips, keeping his
mouth open. This is to prevent broken
bones and lost teeth.

There is tablet in the sailors home
at Melbourne to James MARI He was
a sailor before the mast on the Rip.
On July Is. 1873, the Rip was caught
in squall. Mari sat astride Of the
gaff when a great wave broke over the
boat and brought down the mainmast.
There was only one chance to save the
Rip. That was to cut away the litter.
But Mari chung to the broken spar,
and to cut away meant to send him
overheard to his death So, looking at
him doubtfully, the men hesitated,

would be the boats salvation. and he
shouted:

That fraglllty Of the bones is domi-

and is handed down through the gen.
erations according to the regular Men
delian laws Of descent is the conclu-
sion reached by Davenport and Con-
rad, American eugenists. They find 1t
rare that a fragile child has not had
parents and other ancestors with the
same weakness A striking example Of
this failing is a child that had both
thigh bones broken soon after birth,

less than a dozen fractures Of impor-
tant bones, although the bones showed

The pleasure cars are on the fourth
floor, and the third floor Is given

floor there are thirty-three spaces,
and in each OF them there is some
thing of interest to the present or

Two freight elevators have been
converted temporarily into passenger
vehicles. The visitors must walk
down. This is a custom in all exhibits
where more than one floor is utilized.

from their usual eating places, crowd

lunches last night and today. Chefs

The big hotel restaurants are

the price to pay for it. Because prices
are something to worry about in a
restaurant this year.
Every quick lunch in the city has
