the warning of Manager ]. E. John
son, Of the Americas Lighting COM
pany 1t is all on account of the
zeal situation Gas coal cannot be
bought by his company, he says, and
as a result steam coal, which he is
screening at the plant here for re-
moval Of the dust, is being used.
"But there is very little gas in this
kind of COAL" said he Saturday, land
as a result we are unable to more
thar barely keep up with the demand
We thought for a time that the de-
mand at the noon hour Saturday
would see the holder empty for a
period of an hour or two, but we
managed to get through with little
margin of safety"
Mr.. Johnson gave the Times Re-
corder the following statement for
the information of the gas consum-
ers Of the city:
For the past several weeks we
have received numerous letters and
kilograms sent to us in reply to
letters and kilograms from US, from
various miners OF gas coal and they
all advise that sized gas coal is I'M
procurable. Their contention is that
the mines are operating only one day
per week on account of shortage of
coal cars and this will just take care
of the contracts that the miners have
for run of the mine coal
We have enough run of mine coal
on The road and in stock to take care
of the gas plant for some time, but
the run Of mine coal causes consid-
cradle plant trouble and we are GO
ing to ask the consumers of gas to
put up with occasional Inconvenience
in the form of interrupted gas service
until we can secure the proper coal
for making gas.
You can rest assured that we are
going to use every effort to reduce
these Interruptions to a minimum and
when your gas is bad you viii know
il is from causes beyond our con.
troll These interruptions will only
be of short duration, possibly one OF
two hours in each instance"

Practical Aid to lndustrx.

Ten years ago no industry existed
that was capable Of placing American
grown varieties of European grapes
upon the market for Christmas trade,
say marketing experts of the United

Then the department devised meth
cd of packing the grapes in redwood
sawdust In veneered drums, and Of
handling the product under refrigera-
lion in transit and in storage from the
lime of harvesting until the period OF
The holiday markets. Today the in

BOOSTS FOR LITTLE CHICKS
Difficult to Keep Youngsters Clean Il
They Are Permitted to Re
main on Floor.

It is often advisable to teach the
chicks to roost when eight to twelve
weeks of age. When they are allowed
to remain on the floor it is difficult to
keep them clean and to keep them
from crowding. If wide roosts-three
to four inches-are used there is but
little, If any, more danger of crooked
breasts than If the chicks are allowed
to remain on the floor.
The chicks can generally be taught
to roost by putting the nerches near
the floor and placing with them one

are, in the habit of roosting. If this
plan is inconvenient or does not prove
effective. the chicks may be placed on

BEST HOUSES FOR CHICKENS
Several Plans and Arrangements Be-
tween Two Extremes Which May
Suit Conditions.

In the manner of housing fowls there
are two systems widely different in
their extremes. AT one extreme is the
colony plan, which consists in placing
small houses for small flocks far
enough part to obviate the necessity
of fences, thus giving free range with
but little mingling of the different
flocks. At the other extreme we have
the continuous house. This kind of
house consists OF a series of separate
pens, under one roof, opening directly
into hallway in the rear, or having
doors between the pens without the
hallway, or opening into hallway and
also into one another. There are sew
eral plans and arrangements between
these two extremes which may be built
to suit varying conditions.

disadvantages First, extra cost Of

MOUNTAINS AFFECT BIRD LIFE
Andes Said to Be Responsible for Mum.
Der OF Species Found in
South America.

The richness of South American
bird-ife is due to the presence of the
Andes more than to any other one
thing. 1t Is the absence of great
mountain chains In Africa, which ac-
counts for the comparatively small
numbers Of species OF birds In that
continent From base to summit, four
distinct zones of life-tropical. sub
tropical, temperate and alpine--are
found In the higher Andes. and each
zone has species which are confined
to it,
1t is not only the height of the An
des which affects bird life. In places.
for hundreds of miles, this gigantic
range may appear as two OF three
chains, each not less than 10000 or
1000 feet in height. and these clb
matte walls are as impossible to the
species living in the tropical or sub
tropical valleys they inclose as though
they extended to the zenith. Isola-
ton is, therefore, added to the fac
tors of climate and sedentariness In
the making of the species, and the
three combined have produced a great
er variety of bird Life than is found
in any area of similar extent in the
world. The American museum of nat
