BY means of new wireless inven-
ton it will be possible to project
sounds into the air which will enable
an aviator to know exactly where he
is. For example, suppose he were
passing over Calgary, from the
moment he approached the region he
would receive the message "This is
Calgary" until he had left it behind
him. And so on with all places over
which he may pass. In this way his
chances of losing his way will be con-
siderably diminished.-Ex.

LITHUANIA'S UNSETTLED
BOUNDARIES

DREVIOUS to its union with Po-

- land in 1869, Lithuania had
possessed varying boundaries at
different periods of its history. Hav-
ing no natural confines, it was sub
ject to constant invasion by its neigh
bors. The absence of large towns
and the presence of impossible
marshes and dense wood made the
conquest of the country difficult. The
Lithuanians preserved their indepen-
dence until late date and did not
embrace Christianity until the. begin
ming of the fourteenth century.
Concerning Lithuania's present sit
uation and outlook the British Min
lister at Lisbon reports that its indus
tries and trade will, in the future, en-
JOY period Of great prosperity. The
boundaries of Lithuania have not yet
been settled, but it roughly comprises
the Governments of Suwalki, Kowno,
Grodno and part of Wilma.
Of a total area of 100000 kilo-
metres, the land is roughly divided UP
into $4,000 kms. arabic, $4,000 hns.
meadow, $4,000 kms. pasture land
yielding rye, oats, barley, potatoes and
wheat -ameng other1creps, The couns
try is also rich in fruit of good
quality.
Before the war, petroleum, tea,
sugar and fancy goods were the prin-
cipal imports of Lithuania. The
chief products exported were timber,
corn, linseed, flax, butter, cattle, and
large quantity of eggs, geese and
horses. The timber exported is
chiefly pine, the average annual guam
tity shipped via the river Niemen and
the port of Memel amounting to 300,-
600 cubic feet.
The total area under linseed be-
fore the war was 2 per cent of the
cultivated area of the country. Dur
ing the five years 190o-1o13, the area
under linseed in the Governments of
Kowno and Suwalki ii. e., about half
of the total area of Lithuania)
amounted to 52,440 hectares, yield
ing an average of II 900 tons linseed
and $4,000 tons flax. Work has been
commenced to reclaim vast tracts of
waste land, and it is expected that the
total area under linseed will amount
in future to about four per cent of
the total area of the country.
There is no coal, iron, copper, zinc,
or any other metal in Lithuania, and
no clay for china, etc. But, on the
other hand, there exist rich beds of
peat, which are being worked, in ad-
dition to sand suitable for the glass
industry. The chief industries are
cheese-making, the manufacture of
matches and pulp, and tiles. Before
the war, the leather industry, the
mapufacture of textiles, agricultural
machinery, iron and glass works, ETC.,
existed on a small scale, but these have
since been discontinued.
The conditions of tradein the future
will be so different that conditions in
the past cannot give an accurate indi-
cation of the probable development of
the industries of the country.

AUSTRALIANS STRUGGLE
WITH RABBIT PEST
Selected
Selected
-OR the first time in thirty years,
Australians begin to hope that

AuSlI dIldIlS DCSlu 10 hope IudC
the rabit plague may be exter-
minated. The men who have fought
the anti-rabbit fight at an expense of
tens of thousands a year begin to lift
their despairing heads. The drought
in Australia in the past few years has
caused the death by starvation Of mil
lions of rabbits and new advances of
the pest cannot be found. From all
statistics the pest is at last we'll in
hand toward determination in another
dozen years. 1t is estimated by govern
ment experts in New South Wales
alone that the rabbit pest has con-
sumed human and domestic animal
foodstuffs to the value of more than
a billion dollars in thirty years.
However, in hundreds of stations
acres of lands owned as grain fields
and sheep and cattle foraging sections,
the number of rabbits have been cut
down millions or fully one-sixth of the
whole. That is feat which no
known campaign of determination or
science of destroyal had been able to
accomplish.
Since theA effects of the drought
have come to be realized fully, men
who had thought the riddance of
Australia of vegetation-destroying
hordes of rabbits an impossibility have
taken new hope.
The wild rabbit in Australia has
brought hundreds of landowners to
poverty. The best-posted speakers in
the colonial legislative assembly have
estimated that the pest has cost Aus
tralia as high as 100000 pounds
sterling in one year, by the forage it
has eaten. In 1886, the rabbit pest
consumed, by actual finding, over
$135,000,000 worth of grain and
farming and sheep forage in Aus
tralia.
Never was pest more innocently
introduced. Several "squatters" (men
who own literally square miles of
land) from England introduced Eng
lish rabbits on their estates in. Austria
liza in the early seventies. Their pur-
pose was to form hunting preserves.
In January, 1873, it was an act of the
Australian Parliament that the killing
or taking of rabbits was unlawful,
and there are numerous instances of
hunters punished for taking rabbits
on estates belonging to the rich
"squatters.
But so wonderfully prolific did the
rabbits prove and so well adapted to
the country that by 1884, the rabbit
pest began to be-a formidable problem
for Australian agriculture. By 1890
the rabbit was national scourge, and
whole days were spent by Parliament
listening to scientists who discussed
measures to combat the increasing
millions of rabbits.
Rabbit drives have been held with
out number. Hundreds of men and
boys have engaged several days in
them, and as many as 100000 rabbits
have been slain as the result. Drives
that have resulted in 10000 slain rab-
bits have been common.

also recovered, and these appeared to
be thenceforth proof against the dis
ease. The final report of the Com
mission was unfavorable. Science had
so far failed. This practically is the
situation today. The rabbit invasion
has been successful over large districts
in the colonies of New South Wales,
Victoria, South Australia, and to a
small extent in Queensland. 1t is
even said of late that rabbits seem to
be following Eyre's famous starvation
track into the vast colony of Western
Australia. A good deal has now been
done to check the advance toward the
more settled districts of these colonies.
Nothing has yet been done to put an
end to the rabbit plague itself.
No one shoots them; nobody hunts
them with dogs. Both these methods
have long since been abandoned as no
better than waste of time. The sys-
tenn of trapping, however, in some
districts, has become general, and has
undoubtedly done something toward
thinning their numbers and checking
their advance.
An Australian rabbit trap is an es-
sential part of rabbit fence. A rab-
bit-proof fence is intended not only
to prevent the animal crossing the
line above ground, but also to prevent
him getting through by means of bur-
zrowing. With this object it goes a
few inches below the surface, and ex-
perience so far shows that this is suf-
fcient. This, no doubt, arises from
the rabbits want of knowledge of its
own powers. Nothing could, of
course, be easier than to run mine
below the fence, if only it possessed
the required intelligence; but, as
matter of fact, the rabbit burrows on
ly to form habitations, and not to get
from one place to another. The army
of invasion surges back again. The
pressure, however, is always greatest
at the barrier, and this fact suggested
the Australian rabbit trap.
When fence is made rabbit pits
are constructed every three or four
hundred yards. The mode of con-
struction is simple. A pit is dug just
inside the fence, and is, perhaps, eight
feet long by four or even five feet
broad. 1t is usually about six feet
deep, and is roughly covered with
boards. Entrance to the pit is af-
forded by an opening left in the fence
close to the ground. This opening
leads on to a short plank, so hinged
that as soon as any weight is put upon
it beyond certain point it tips up,
shotting whatever is upon it into the
pit below. By this simple means vast
quantities of rabbits are trapped day
and night.

was worth in lands in New South
Wales, near Byrock, several million
dollars in 1853. He went into bank
ruptcy in 1897, and he is one of sew
eral wealthy Australians who assert
the losses of capital came from devas-
tation caused by hordes Of rabbits to
his sheep forage lands.
1t was found thirty years ago that
individual campaigns for rabbit exter-
mination were useless, because while
one landowner would fight the plague
all the time, another would surrender
and his property would become a
breeding place Of as many animals as
his neighbor had slain.
The New South Wales Parliament
appropriated $160,OO0 in 1896, and
kept that up annually twelve years,
to pay for united anti-rabbit cam
paigns. That proved also worthless.
Unfortunately too many runholders
are in the hands of banks for loans,
and the mortgagor would not give his
personal attention to what he con-
sidered hopeless case of bankruptcy
by the rabbit scourge. Meanwhile
the enemny advanced literally by leaps
and bounds. One district after an
other became infested; large areas of
country were regarded as hardly
worth occupying, as the sheep would
not thrive on lands once overrun by
rabbits
Experience showed that men could
not cope with rabbits on land once
overrun. This led to--the policy of
meeting the evil mainly by exclusion.
Owners within proclaimed districts
are required to erect fences capable of
excluding rabbits, while the govern
ment itself has expended large sums
in the erection of fences to separate
clean from infested districts. Where
these have been erected in time and
sufficiently guarded afterward they
have retarded the advance of the in
vaders; but it has often happened that
the enemy has turned the flank of the
position, and with the fence still un-
finished, the enemy's van has been
found to have passed the line and oc-
cupied the country in the rear. Other
means were also tried to deal with
the evil. Government reward aggre-
eating $125,000 was offered to any
one who would discover a plan by
which the plague could be efectually
ended. The one suggestion which
created the greatest confidence was
that of Pasteur. His proposal was to
destroy the rabbits by the introduc-
ton of the epidemic disease known as
chicken cholera among them.
The great reputation of Pasteur in
duced the government of New South
Wales to expend large sum in test
ing the alleged discovery. An island
fully stocked with rabbits was given
up to Pasteur's assistants, two of
whom were sent out by him to demon
fstrate the value of the scheme. For
a time great hopes were entertained
that the problem was about to be
solved, and that to science rather than
to brute force Australia was to owe
her deliverance from the rabbit in
vasion. The results failed to justify
these expectations. Rabbits were in
oculated; rabbits were undoubtedly
infected by the inoculated ones; many

GENE RAJ SAVES
SPANISH CONVOY
FROM DISASTER
Shouts ''Come Along Boys
for the Honor OF Spain"
and Rallies Troops on the
Verge of Fleeing.
tBy The Associated rress.3

Melilla, Sept. 80 lby the Asso-
ciated Press "A timely act Of
personal courage by Colonel Cal
valcanti today saved convoy or
the way to TIA, from what ap-
peared to be certain disaster.
Strong columns of troops were
protecting the convoy carrying
supplies and were showing signs Of
imminent disruption under the in
tense fire of the Moroccans from
trenches. The fire was inflicting
heavy losses on the Spanish ma
tive troops, who were rushing
from one position to another to es-
cape the hail of bullets
The columns supporting them
were massed and the men were
suffering considerable losses be-
cause the officers hesitated to dis
turb the alignment of the ranks.
Suddenly General Calvalcanti ap-
peared on horseback amid the fire,
and shouted toward n group of en-
gineers in the front line:
"Come along boys for the honor
Of Spain"
The general dashed forward, fol-
lowed by his staff and the unit of
engineers, and succeeded in ar
irving at TIA. Other troops then
took courage and returned the fire
of the Moroccans, driving them
off and saving the day for the gar

and fifty-three slightly injured also
have been removed.
Seventeen coaches were burning
and firemen, almost helpless, were
cutting hole through the roof of
the tunnel through the pavement
of Rue de Rome, hoping to create
an upward draft in order to allow
the smoke and gas to escape. Both
trains were filled with homeward
pound commuters and authorities
say that any one remaining in the
tunnel is almost certain to be dead.
The. collision occurred when a
train for the suburbs, Marly-Le-
Roi, crashed into the rear end OF
train for Versailles, which left
four minutes earlier on the same
track, but which stopped inside the
tunnel to repair a broken coupling.
1t is feared those trapped in the
burning wreckage may never be
identified, as they would surely
be burned to a cinder in the in
tense heat, yet unreached by the
firemen who were directing streams
of water from both ends of the
tunnel.
Later 1t was learned the fire
started by explosions of small IL,
gas tanks in the coaches
OF the telescoped train. Hundreds
Of the injured escaped by running
through the dark tunnel along the
track to both ends. Troops were
called out Immediately to surround
the scene of the disaster.
