HoUR-GLAssEs AGAIN?

The British house of commons
has not yet decided on introducing
time recorders on each side of the
chamber, SO that speakers noting the
flight of the minutes, may bring
their eloquence to close. But that
there is an evident desire for shorter
speeches is shown from the sugges-
ton in Paris, that the chair in the

If such a check is adopted, we
shall be back in Elizabethan and
Jacobean times, when hour-glasses
were almost invariably placed in the

long sermons, but there was a Limit

CONSERVATION WORK
IN FLOODED AREAS

When the levees Of the Mississippi
broke some weeks ago Commissioner
M. L. Alexander of the Department OF
Conservation placed all the available
resources OF his department at the
disposal Of the distressed people OF the
flooded areas. Some time before the
river reached its highest stage, and be
fore there had been a break, MIR. Alex
ander ordered the fleet Of the depart.
ment to report at strategic points along
the rivers to be ready for an instant

wisdom Of this move was amply
proved by the result All the avafla-
BILE craft and employees of the depart,
ment were placed at the disposal of
the Governor. and both men and boats
were held in readiness to respond in
Stantiy to orders.
Il was a matter of Capitalization to
Commissioner Alexander that local Of
ncials and the people generally CO
operated heartily with the department
in its work of rescuing the distressed
people and protecting the larger game
from rapacious hunters. Three weeks
before the break at Ferriday, Col. w.
8. Holmes, superintendent OF the game
division, went to North Louisiana to
prevent the slaughter Of deer and
other wild game, which in periods of
high water seek refuge on the ridges
and became easy victims of conscious
less hunters. Col Holmes placed
agents at threatened points and these
agents saved many deer fleeing in ter.
ror from the flood. A number Of men
were jailed for killing the fugitive ami.
mails, but the lawlessness was soon
checked. The sheriffs of the parishes
affected by the Ferriday assisted Col.
Holmes and his force by all means in
their power, and the sportsmen Of the
section organized to assist the work
OF the department While the work in
North Louisiana was we'll under way,
the situation became critical in Pla- ,
quemines and st. Bernard parishes and
forces of the department were sent to
those parishes to save the deer driven
from the lowlands and TO render every |
assistance possible to the distressed !
people.

writing memorial poems about them,
"Lycidas" was written about a man
otherwise unknown. Edward King
was on his way to Ireland to visit
his people when the ship was
wrecked and the young traveller was
drowned. Milton calls the ship a

and rigg'd with curses dark"
John Keats is doubly immortal

was immortalized by Shelley's me-
mortal poem, "Adonais."
Had not Tennyson written "In

heard of his friend Henry Arthur
Hallam. They were bosom compan-

Tennyson's sister.
Arthur Hugh Clough and Mat

ONE SMALL BENEFIT
FROM THE OVERFLOW

One small benefit that will be OBJ
served in the districts affected after
the subsistence of the flood viii be the
restocking Of the fresh water streams
and lakes with fish. The Mississippi
river is not fishing stream, but it's
water contains millions OF game fish,
which do not bite In Its waters be-
cause they cannot ses the bait. New.
ertheless. the great river is one OF the
best stocked streams anywhere, and
abounds in many varieties of fish.
This is shown by the millions of fish
which are rescued from the borrow
pits after each high water period, and

IN which the Mississippi flows every
year. The Conservation Departments
OF Louisiana sends out rescue parties

these fish persisted miserably as the

The principal fresh water fish res.
cued are large-mouthed black bass,

leo bass (clossiy related to the crap
pie). rock bass, Yarmouth bass, white
bass. yellow bass and several varie-
ties of sunfish, commonly called perch.

by the Louisiana department. When
the water bursts through the levees
and flood the adjacent territory these
river fish are taken through the breaks
and left In the lakes and streams into
which the Mississippi water flows The
overflow Of 1912 left an abundance OF
fish In all the waters affected by the
breaks. and the same phenomenon will

OUTLAW ANIMALS IN LOUISIANA,

"AIR-C COOLED" BIRD HOUSES
Gravity Plays Part in New Device
for the Comfort of Our
Feathered Pets,

It has not been unusual, in hot
days Of summer, for young birds in
small, close nesting boxes to be killed
by the heat of the sun, states Bird
Lore, Official organ of Audubon So
cieties. So "air-cooled" bird houses
have been designed to obtain auto
matte removal of sun-hsated air
from their interior.
In the houses, the force Of gravity
effects an exchange of sun-heated
air in open vertical shafts. The
heated (lighter) air is forced up
and out of a protected slot opening
along the ridge pole Of the roof,
while cooler (heavier) air rises from
beneath. This operation automati-
cally continues while the tempera-
ture at any point inside of air
shafts or attic is warmer than the
air beneath the bird houses. and
irrespective of a dead calm, breeze
or wind.
The temperature of the "air-
cooled nesting boxes and the air
therein are said to remain the same
as that of the air beneath. and the
interior will be free from rain, suns
heat and cold drafts detrimental to
Matching and to young birds.

OCCUPATION OF OFFICE BOYS

Data of Much Interest.

A committee, self-appointed on
the conservation of energy and
promotion of industry among Office
boys, was asked for the results of
an investigation. Of seventeen hun
dred office boys investigated the fol-
lowing was determined:
Twelve per cent read movie mag
azines and memorize the lives of
movie stars.
Seventeen per cent print their
names in various types over 70 times
daily. =
Eleven per cent watch the door
from the hall while they match pen
MES with other future presidents and
directors.
Three per cent collect postage
stamps and spend their time sorting
them.
Seven per cent practice typewrit-

Four per cent sleep.
Three per cent sit and stare off
into blank space.
Six per cent just sit.

clever in action so that even their
bosses don't know what they are
