IMMENSE ROOKERY I'M LAKE
Birds Find Sanctuary on Island on
Which Hunters Are Forbidden
to Set Foot.

Set in the middle of Great Salt lake
is Hat island, u acres in area, one of
the most densely populated rookeries
in the world. It's official name is due
to it's shape, but it is more Familiarity
known to Westerners as Bird island
Seagulls and pelicans live there. The
island is literally covered with them,
and since hunters are not permitted
to disturb the fowls, visitors expert
ence no difficulty in walking about
among them and observing their habits.
The birds have established their roosts
among the rocky formations Of the is.
land, which is surrounded by salt
water more dense than that of the
ocean. The highest point is about 100
feet above the surface of the lake.
The strangest sight on the island
Is the flock of young pelicans. They
walk about like drove Of sheep.
One acts as leader and the rest fol-
low. Large bodied, clumsy birds they
are, scarcely able to waddle out of
the way when one approaches.
AS evening approaches one may look
out over the lake, far to the north
east, and see a cloud of tiny specks.
It is the adult pelicans returning home
from the mouth of the Jordan river, or
from the Great Bear river, so to 70
miles away. They are laden with fish
for their young ones. The pouches
under their beaks are filled with fresh
water fish.

Poem Had Origin in Actual Life.

The famous poem about the boy who
stood on the burning deck had its
origin in an actual happening which
constitutes page in history.
1t was during Napoleons expedition
to Egypt that England sent Lord Mel
son to capture him and annihilate his
fleet. AT the battle of Abukir the
French navy was crushed and Ma
poleon was forced to flee, all but four
of his ships being sunk, burned or cap
tured.
The French admiral had been killed.
And on the deck of the flagship stood
her captain, Louis Casabianca, who
then had command of the fleet. He
was wounded and the ship was burn.
ing, but he refused to leave his post.
And in spite of commands and en-.
treaties, his son, boy of ten, stayed
with him and died with him when the
ship went down, supplying the theme
for that famous epic of child heroism
'"The boy stood on the burning deck"

Mistake That Gan Be Definitely
Traced to James Watt Was Never
Officially Corrected.

III. F." as you know, stands for
horse power" and if, therefore, your
motorcycle is four and one-half h. p.
one, you know that what is meant is
that the engine has power which is
equivalent to that Of four and half
horses.
Not sol You would be incorrect to
the extent Of no less than 10000
pounds, remarks a London Answers
writer.
The h. p. unit of power is fraud,
and the late James Watt of engine
fame is responsible. He was very
careful engineer, in theory and prac-
tice, and he discovered, by many ex-
periments, that the raising of $4,000
pounds one foot per minute was a good
average horsepower.
But horsepower" today Is reck-
oned at $4,000 lbs. per foot per min.
ute-11, 900 pounds in excess! That is
due to the fact that Watt, in his anxi-
ETY. to encourage business, offered to
sell engines which would develop &c.
WV pouAuS pei AoOI DIS uoiSo-poWcE
"a third more than the actual.
1t would seem that he meant ulti-
mately to be honest, but he died be-
fore that happened, and so bequeathed
to the world, which has accepted it,
a false unit measurement of horse
power.
Engineers, of course, know of the
error, and make due allowance for it ;.
but the average individual does not.
Your 10 h. p. car is, therefore, in fact,
but % one, and it's power is equal
to raising $4,000 pounds a foot in a
minute, and not $4,000.

She had mapped out our itinerary, she explained,

LOGAN AND BRYANS
CLOSING LETTER

By private wire to A. E. Masten & Co.
New York. July 1.-THE stock mgr
ket displayed a very firm undertone TO-
day and no time was there any material
pressure in evidence on prices. Feeling
was helped considerably by the more
favorable outlook regarding the coal
strike and the prospect Of an early
settlement of that problem. The news
that the signalmen had decided not to
join the shopmen in their strike stimu-
lated buying throughout the list and
many issues displayed strength. u s..
Steel crossing the 100. Studebaker
General Asphalt. Corn Products and
many of the Standard Oil Issues were
active at advancing prices.
The action OF the list today would
seem to warrant the belief that the
technical foundation Of the market IS
rather strong and that the removal OF
some Of tho existing restrictions which
might find reflection in fresh upturn
in quotations.
