AMERICAN EAGLE DISAPPEARING
Warning Against Threatened Extinc-
tion Has Been Issued.

A warning against the threatened
extinction of the bald or American ca
gle, the national bird of the United
States, has been issued by the Amer,
lean Museum of Natural History
which stated that reports indicated
that more than one-half and, perhaps
three-quarters of the entire species al
ready have been sacrificed"
Destruction Of the birds is attribu-
ted to hunters in Alaska, who are kill
ing them for bounty paid by the ter
ritorial government. Never numer-
Gus, the museum authorities say, more
than $500 eagles were slain in a few
months in their favorite breeding
ground, the Alaskan peninsula. Hunt
ers have extended their operations into
the British provinces adjoining Alas
ka, it is said. to swell their gains
After declaring that the American
eagle preys chiefly on large rodents
harmful to farm crops, for the control
of which the government annually ex-
ponds large sums, the museum declares
that ''tales of the American eagles de-
struetiveness to game or domestic ami
mails are for the greater port pure fe-
ton" The bird, ii says, is migratory
and therefore no state or territory can
claim the right to destroy it, that right
being vested in the federal govern
ment.
Recalling the fact that the wild
pigeon, formerly found in incredible
numbers in certain parts of the United
States. had been utterly wiped out by
shooting and the destruc-
tion OF its nests" the museum SAYS that
only the prompt passage of federal
law will save the American eagle from
the same fate.

has escaped from the sun,drenched
burying ground near by in order to get
under the shade of the trees on the
village common.
Occasionally the rich man of the
town, tricked out in his long forgotten
civil war uniform and mounted on a
noble charger. has been set up by con
nivance between doting widow and a
sculptor not afraid of his reputation.
Then there is the omnipresent granite
soldier without variahleness or shadow
of turning.
What a noble army these stone men
would make if they could be gathered
together in their favorite posture of
parade rest and formed into a rainbow
division from the four quarters Of the
land Outlook.

ABOUT DIAMONDS.
Some Of the Large Ones Owned in the
United States.

American diamond firms have cabled
| their agents in South Africa to at.
tempt to buy 442h carat diamond
found recently in the Dutoitspan mine.
If they succeed in buying il, il will
be by far the largest diamond ever
imported into the United States. 1t
weighs roughly about quarter of a
pound. The largest diamond in this
country is the Tiffany yellow diamond
which weighed $50 carats when found
and cut to 1851 carats. 1t enjoys the
reputation of being the most perfect
yellow diamond in the world. The next
largest diamond in the United SRt
is the Hope blue diamond II is of
44A carats and is owned by Edward B.
Mclean.
If cut to single gem, the new dia-
mond would lose about half its weight
and become jewel of about, 900 carats
or less. A diamond Of that size would
be worth in the market at present
prices about quarter of million
dollars. Even at this figure it is be-
lieved it would have ready sale
among American millionaires. It's
buyers, however, may decide to cut it
up into number of gems of varying
size. This would widen its market
and perhaps increase profits on its sale.
by this process, not as much of the
diamond would be wasted and in view
of the popularity of diamonds and the
unprecedented demand for them, the
small stones would be quickly sold
Other great diamonds found in South
Africa are the Cullinan, 3,025A carats;
Excelsior, 97lA; Jubilee, $40; Vic
toria -Nizam. 457A; Victoria, 42s1a
Stewart, 2ss% Porter Rhodes, $50;
Star of South Africa, s3ia. All these
weights were in the rough. The Guilt
nan was the largest diamond ever
found in the worlds history. 1t was
cut into more than 100 gems. The
two largest of these were 5l6R carats
and 300 3l6 carats, which remain to-
day the largest cut diamonds in exist
ence. The gems made from the Gull
nan are now among the English crown
jewels. The Excelsior, the next larg-
est diamond ever found, was cut into
many jewels. The Jubilee was cut to
a single gem of 239 carats and is re-
shiueu ny tOHnolSseuls as tHe most
perfect cut diamond in existenee.A The
largest diamond ever taken from the |
famous mines of India, now exhausted, |
was the Great Mogul 1t was 1877 car
ats in the rough and cut to 2s8 carats.
1t has mysteriously disappeared from
history. The 0rloff, l94A carats, the /
&uh.i-Nur, 100 l-l6, and the Regent,
1864, all cut, are the other largest
indian diamonds.

TORREONMAY
HAVE PUBLIC
BRIDGE SOON

TorreOu. Coahuila, Mex, Oct. IL
The initiatory step has been taken for
the construction OF a public bridge TO
span the Nazas river which forms a
part OF the boundary line between the
states OF Coahuila and Durango and
separates Torreon from the neighbor-
ing cities Of Gomez Palacio and Ler-
do. Plans for the bridge have been
prepared and submitted by Engineer
Mariana Alcerreca- The project Is
meeting the approval Of the chamber
Of commerce OF Torreon. Gomez Pa
lacio and a number OF capitalists Of
the two cities have declared their
willingness to assist financially.
The construction OF this bridge has
been agitated for a number Of years,
but never before has It appeared so
near a realization. The railroad and
street car companies have their
bridges over the river at this point
but there IS no public wagon or foot
bridge.
There is considerable automobile
travel between the three cities and
with the building Of the proposed
bridge the public road viii be graded
and improved for the convenience and
comfort OF autoists.
Much interest IS being manifested
in the current report that the MeLi-
can government will soon return the
railroads which have been under its
control % the original owners.
Twelve passenger trains are sched-
uled TO arrive and depart from this
station every twenty-four hours. and
more than that number OF freight
trains come and go.
According TO the report rendered
by James Gurza, who was appointed
some time ago to make an investi-
Eation OF the lines controlled by the
government and known as the Ferro-
carriles Nacionales, the roads are in
no danger OF becoming bankrupt
