TIES THAT BIND

/ 1t was particularly appropriate
that arrangements should have
been made in Annapolis to cele-
brate Bastille Day yesterday, and
10 hold meeting at the French
monument on St Johns campus.
The ties existing between this
city and France are of the
strongest kind. The campus is
the last resting place OF French
soldiers of the Revolution who
died during the encampment OF
thousands Of them in Annapolis
on the occasion of the Yorktown
expedition. After the lapse of a
century and a third, American
parents whose boys he forever
in the soil of France, know the
feelings of those French parents
of the Revolution whose sons,
crossing the sea to fight for lib
erty, returned no more. The
French graves on St. Johns
campus are as hallowed to us as
those of American soldiers be-
yond the Atlantic are to the peo-
pie OF France. The tablet to St,

PLAN MORE OSTRICH PLUMEs
South African Raisers of the Birds Be.
IIeve They Can Largely Increase
the Supply.

An effort is being made by South
African ostrich farmers TO increase
the plume quilts Of ostriehes. and Pro
fessor Deverden believes this can be
done by as much as % per cent, but
W. p. Pycraft. the great English nat
urafist. is skeptical.
The number OF plumes from each
wing averages &c, and occasionally
runs as high as AZ I'm the South Afri-
can species and 50 in the North Afri-
can. The latter is the larger bird
and its bones are denser. The Groot-
fontein School of Agriculture is trying
by proper mating to breed race OF
~ plume birds.
Professor Pycraft writes in the Illus-
trated London News that the ances-
tor of the ostrich undoubtedly pos
sessed the power of flight. when the
wing quilts of the hand numbered is
while the secondary feathers, attached
along the forearm. probably did moi
exceed 90. This was the original In
heritance and 1t can never be in
creased. especially now that the whole
wing has degenerated into a mere
wreck of its original self.
There are now about 100000 birds
on the African ostrich farms and the
value of their exported feathers Is
about $15.O00,000.

Young LADIES OF THE WIRE

The hello girls" are receiving
compliments on the part they
played in the recent capture of a
criminal on the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland. Newspapers and
newspaper men are praising their
intelligence and ability and the
assistance they rendered.
The funny papers carry a reg
ular quota of jokes about the
telephone girls, and writers of
letters-to-the-editor take their ac-
customed number of digs" at the
service But every now and then
a news story appears that shows
the real mettle of these loyal
servers of the public.
Sometimes. it's true, it may
take them longer than we con-
slider necessary to get number.
1t may be annoying, once in a
while, to have ones bell ring by
mistake, It's downright nerve
wrecking to have them cut us off
in the middle of a conversation,
But when you come to think of
1t. the young ladies Of the wire
represent a pretty high class OF
the country's womanhood. In
normal times and fair, they per
form their duties efficiently, cour-
teously and we'll. When the UNI
usual takes place, their courage,
energy and common sense usual
" prevail when older and more
experienced minds become dis
tracted.
Sometimes it is a burning
town; sometimes it is a flood.
and sometimes. as in our present
case, it is the escape of a des-
perate criminal. Almost without
exception the telephone girls and
the telephone service come to the
front as dependable, invaluable
agencies of humanity.
