ostrlch,s Voice la Loud.

Like many other birds, ostriches lose
or cease to use their voices In captiv.
lty, and very few visitors to the zoo
know that they have voices ut all. In
their natural surroundings, however.
they are far from dumb, for they have
"song" like the roar Of lion. In
fact, Dr. Livingstone said he could only
tell The difference between the two by
the fact that the ostrlches roared by
day and the lions by night. Just as
boys voices break" so the voices OF
some birds, OrnithOlogists have discov'
cred. change from youthful 10 adult
tones. The voice of the young buzzard
Is about an octave higher than that Of
It's parents and IN certain owls II Is as
much as two Octuves higher. Growing
moOrlnrlSs and finches have an actual
"brenk" In the voice. and in domestic
fowls this break or change is very
marked, says an exchange. In the case
of the silver gull the break Of voice
comes with the putting on Of the adult
plumage. -BroOklyn Eagle.

HAPHAzARD EXTENSION

The Department OF Agriculture Is
one instance OF how governmental es.
Establishments grow and spread aud ex-
tend their activities, once they get
started. The bureau OF fisheries, In
the Department of Commerce, Is an
other II had a modest beginning, and
not so very long ago Prior 10 1871
there was no branch OF the federal
government especially charged with
the consideration OF fishery affairs.
Several Of the states had established
fish commissions and these state au-
thoritIes. supported by private Inter
ests, began TO ugitate for national
bureau devoted 10 fishery Interests.
SO II came about that by 1877 con.
gress wus ready 10 yield and begin TO
make appropriations. The first one
was for $1,000 and provided for n
commissioner Of fish and fisheries to
prosecute investigations and Inquiries
with the view OF ascertnlnlng whelh-
er any and what dlmlnution Ia the
number OF food fishes OF the coast
and IN the lakes Of the United States
has taken place; and also whether
any and what protective. prOhlbltOry
or precautionary measures should be
adopted In the premises; and shall re.
port upon the same TO congress"
The commissioner was to draw no
pay. for II was provided by congress
IN the same joint resolution that he
should be n civil officer OF the govern
mcnt. Of proved scientific and prnc-
teal acquaintance with the fishes Of
the coast who should serve without
additional compensation. The then as
slstnnt secretary Of the Smithsonian In
stitutlop, by name Spencer Fullerton
Baird, was chosen as the best man for
the job, and ~ he proved TO be. lie
made the little acorn grow lie was
industrious and competent and knew
how 10 get along with congress, He
was dilgunt and he stood before kings.
See what happened.
Remember, he started out with
5000 TO discover whether there had
hcen any dlminution Of the supply Of
food fishes along the coasts or IN the
lakes. lie WAS NJ the hend OF an in
dependent Investigation and reported
directly 10 congress. The thing was
kept alive by annual appropriations
as an independent institution until
1901, when Il was Incorporated into
the newly formed Department OF Com
merce and Labor as the bureau of
fisheries.

area Of over 10000 acres, with value
OF S24O,OOO. The Improvements nnd
equipment at these stations repre-
scented nm investment OF more than
Sl,OOOO00. Other property Of the bu-
reau NJ that time included four sea-.
going steam and sail vessels. 20 steam
launches and 100 small snll, power aud

n value OF S3OO000. Its six fsh-irans-
porintIon cars were valued AT $4,000.
Indeed. the total investment OF the
government IN fishery property
ran to about $l,5s5.O0O Tliut was

Well. Il hasn't stopped growing;
bigger and buster thnn ever as the I'D
verllsements say. The appropriation ~

the duty was homogeneous to It's legiti-

ceded that the pursuit OF foxes does

NO Positive Proof That Indian Leader
Was Slain at the Battle Of
the Thames

IL mas been commonly accepted that
Tecumseh was killed In battle nj the
Thames In Ontario by Col. II. NJ. John.
sou, afterward vice president Of IN.
United States, but Il Is not at all Ger.
tain that Col. johnson killed him. or
even positively known that he fell
In that battle. That he disappeared
at the time Of the battle. October 8.
1913, Is certain, and a body, supposed
to be his, was found after that en-.
gagement.
There is an Old book printed by the
Miami Printing and Publishing com.
pany OF Cincinnati, written by Col.
William Stanley Hatch, entitled "A
Chapter Of the History of the War
OF 1872" In which this reference is
made to the death of Tecumseh:
Colonel Johnson Informed me, and
he so repeatedly stated during the
canvas of 1870 for the vice presidency,
that he did not pretend to say that the
lndlnn referred to as killed by him
was Tecumseh; he was not acquainted
With Tecnmseh's personal appearance.
All that lie knew was that tall, ath.
letic warrior confronted him as he led
a charge with his 70 men, and him he
slew with his pistol"
Colonel Hatch closes his book with
this paragraph: 81 re on the Thames

even admitted this last fact, and no
