ROMAN ROADS NOT PERFECT
Suitable for Traffic Of That Time, but
Would Not Last Under Mod.
ern Conditions.

Modern opinion, examining the
road-building Of the Romans and COM
pairing 1t with that Of today, has
reached conclusions which seriously
diminish the reputation Of the Ro-
man engineers, or at any rate show
that they built to meet the conditions
of a certain kind of traffic. They
built for endurance, but their roads,,
say these surprising critics, were so
rough that modern vehicles would be
shaken to pieces on them in short or
der. If Julius Caesar had driven a
motor car along the Appian Way, so
suggests Motor Life, the journey
would have shaken him out of his
armor, shaken his plumed helmet Oft
his head, and presently have shaken
his motor into worthless wreck. The
criticism comes from a study of the
construction Of the old Roman roads;
but from what one knows of the Ro-
mans, one may feel reasonably GER
tain that If Caesar had been wont to
go about in an automobile the Roman
engineers would have built roads that
would have made motoring less ex-
citing and expensive. And the Ro-
man chariot, one may imagine,
bumped in moderation because it's
pace was limited to match that Of the
marching legions. T.

AIRPLANE CATCHES GEESE

Latest Method Of Hy- sting in the
~ Country.
4 There may be nothing new under
the sun, but there are new ways of do
ing things. The following amply bears
out this statement:
John Pruess, who lives up in the
Devils Nest country, along the old
Mizzou, was in Bloomfield, Neb., re-
Gently, and brought with him the news
that hunting geese via the airplane
method is the latest thing up in that
region. The aviators who have been
pulling off this stunt hail from across
the line in South Dakota @
They come swooping along in their
machine, fire a volley at any stray
flock OF geese that may be breasting
the waters Of the Big Muddy, and as
the geese rise into the air and start to
make their getaway, the airplane
swoops down upon them and they are
caught in a big net, which is part
Of the machines equipment. Whole
flocks are pursued until the last lone
member Of the flock falls victim to
the birdmen. ..s. 5s.4 nj. I. .

Now that the beneficial species Of
birds are fortified by ample protective
legislation, the Importance becomes ap-
parent Of perfecting methods for pro-
tecting crops against damage by birds,
says the chief of the bureau Of bio
logical survey, United States depart
ment of agriculture.s A policy of bird
conservation that will best serve the
interests of the farmer, he says, in
wolves not only a. thorough apprecia-
tion of the value of. beneficial species
but adequate attention to tie control
OF troublesome ones. Following out
that line of endeavor, investigations
have been made of a number of spe-
cies complained of as troublesome, and
in some cases special rulings have been
made under the migratory bird treaty
act to permit control measures.
BoboIinks Are Destructive. II
. 1t has been determined that bobo-<
links, protected under the migratory
bird treaty act, are as destructive as
ever to rice when opportunity offers,
and in order to control them an open
season has been declared on bobolinlzs'
In pennsylvania and the Atlantic
coast states from New Jersey south
ward to and including Florida. Ger
tain species of wild ducks, also pro-
tected under the act were found to
be destructive in the rice fields of
california, and a special order was
issued permitting rice growers to kill
them out of season. In the Arkansas
rice> fields a special order had to be
issued permitting the shooting of ducks
at night. Meadowlarks in South Caro-
lima We're found to be inflicting severe
damage to sprouting corn and oats. In
order to afford proper relief says the
chief of the survey, permission has
been given farmers to drive the birds
from the fields. with shotguns, if nee
essary. Complaints were received
from Louisiana that night herons were
menace to the ,frogging industry and
it was suggested to the bureau that
permission be granted to shoot them.
Investigation, however, showed that
about 96 per cent of the food Of night
herons is crawfish; not a single frog
was found in any Of the stomachs ex-
amined. ~ z. E.J
lnflict Severe Damage.
Other birds not protected under the
migratory bird treaty act, were also
reported to be inflicting severe damage
in some instances. Red-winged black
birds in Ohio were found to be very
destructive Of sweet corn. and even of
field corn. Poisoning methods, effec-
tive for small fields, were devised, but
it is necessary to- discover more eco
nomical measures for large fields. Com
plants Of depredat ttQns by eagles were
investigated. 1T is evident" says the
report of the chief, "that these power
full birds are. seriously destructive at
times and their unlimited protection
is probably not warranted" This ap-
plies to both the golden and the bald
eagle. Charges came from the South
Atlantic; coast that the brown peli-
can was responsible for reduction in
the number of mullet and other food
fishes. Examination of a quantity of
regurgitated material showed that of
814 fish eaten only 9 were Of species
valuable as human food. #
