Early Americans Tied to
Coast BY Need of Salt

Early American settlers were tied to
the coast by the need Of salt, without
which they could not preserve their
meats and live In comfort. Writing In
1852, Bishop Spagenburg says of a
colony for which he was seeking lands
in North Carolina: They will require
salt and other necessarles which they
can neither manufacture nor raise.
Either they must go to Charleston,
which is 800 miles distant, or else go
to Bollng's Point in Virginia on a
branch of the James and also 300 miles
from here, or else they must go down
the Roanoke know not how many
mlles-where salt is brought up from
Cape Fear"
An annual pilgrimage for salt thus
became essential. Taking furs and
ginseng root, the early settlers sent
their pack trains after seeding time
each year to the coast. But when dis
cOvery was made Of the salt springs
Of the Kanawha and the Holston and
the Kentucky and central New York.
the West began to be freed from de-
pendence on the coast. 1t was In part
the effect of finding these salt springs
that enabled settlement to cross the
mountalns.-Detrolt News.

Famous Lawsuits That
Lasted OUer Century

The recent case, in which couple of
years elapsed between the commission
Of crime and its discovery, falls far
short of q record
The famous case of Eugene Aram,
which later formed the subject Of the
novel by Lytton and the poem by
Hood, is leading one, for the murder
was committed in 1745, and Aram was
executed in 1852 In the same century
a man named Horne was executed for
the murder of his child 35 years earlier,
and there is also the case Of Governor
Wall, who was hanged in 1902 for a
murder committed In 1882.
Apart from capital crimes, the laws
delays have always been notorious. 1t
was stated recently, for instance, that
a lawsuit about some land, which had
started in 1776, had just been finally
settled, and litigant Is even now
suing the United States government
over property alleged to have been
alienated during the American Revolu-
tionary war.
A well-known barrister used to re-
call remarkable case Of this kind In
1863 he prosecuted, as counsel for the
Crown, a man who was charged with
stealing leaf from a parish register

Writer Declares Humming
Birds Are Great Racers

AS the male humming bird takes no
part or interest in the nest building or
the rearing of the young, and brief
visit to any convenient flowers serves
TO satisfy his appetite, he has consider
able spare time at his disposal. Most
of this he spends ON certain favorite
observation posts, whence he sallies
forth occasionally In pursuit of tres
passing hummer or bird Of some other
sort Even the cliff swallow is not
immune from his attacks and seems
quite unable to avoid his onslaughts.
The humming bird frequently mounts
vertically into the air until almost out
Of sight, then descends like bullet d.
rectly at the object Of his attention. If
the other bird flies, the humming bird
follows; If not, he passes within a few
inches, sweeping through an arc which
carries him upward again TO repeat the
process until tired. The downward
swoop is accompanied by long shrill
whistle which is characteristic of the
species and is often the first indication
Of Its arrival in the spring.
To casual student of humming bird
psychology they appear to be actuated
more by love Of the excitement OF the
chase than by anger or Jealousy, as the
other birds are not harmed If they
choose to ignore the antics Of the hum
ming bird, as is very often the case. !
have often seen a hummlng bird ap-
proach and hover In front of another
as If bantering 1t to game OF tag,
then dart off holly pursued by the sec
ond. The females seem to enjoy this
sport as well as the males.-Robert 8.

WOULD ABANDON
STATE CONTROL
OF TELEPHONES
Paris Chamber Of Commerce
Asks Transfer of All Lines
To Private Concerns.

The Paris Chamber of Commerce
recently passed RESOLUTION urging
the French Government to submit
to Parliament a Bill for the transfer
Of the goSegnpspt-owhed telephone
service Of FRANCE to private com
panies. This restitution was adopted,
says the Msctricsl Review of London,
as result OF tbe many complaints
received from commercial
and industrial concerns in the Paris
district with regard to the poor tele-
phone service"
After . full discussion Of the sub
ject, the Paris Chamber of Commerce
advanced two man reasons for urging
the government to abandon public
ownership Of the telephone system:
First, that the French telephone
service contrasts extremely badly with
those of other countries, the inferior
ity being due ae much to the defective
character Of the material and the in
sufficient number Of circuits as to the
general poor organization of the serv-
ice; Second, that the state has failed
to take the necessary steps to facili
tate and extend the use Of the tele
phone, and the fact that the telephone
service results in an annual charge
on the French budget is proof that
the state is not qualified to carry on
the service on commercial basis"

Says Prehistoric Birds
of Kansas Had Teeth

Birds once had teeth, but 1t was a
long, long time ago. In fact, it was
in that period of the earth's history
when much of North America was
covered by broad, shallow seas that
were dotted with low and almost bar
rem Islands. And upon these Islands
rested some Of the strangest OF all the
thousands of odd creatures that have
lived in past ages-blrds that could not
walk, and that had long beaks, armed
with sharp teeth. These birds, de-
scribed in Science and Invention by
Carroll Lane Fenton, department OF
paleontology, University Of Michigan,
are known from their skeletons, which
have been preserved and turned into
stone In the chalk beds of western
Kansas.
HesperOrnis, the western bird, as
this ancient dweller Of Kansas has
been called, measured nearly five feet
from tip to tip of his beak to the tip
Of his toes. In shape he was a good
deal like the black and white loon, or
hell diver Of modern rivers and lakes,
but, unlike that bird, he swan by
means Of his legs and feet alone, never
trying to use wings.
Indeed, he could hardly have done
so, for after ages of disuse, his wings
had disappeared entirely, and there re-
manned but few bones to show where
they once had been. But stout legs
and paddle-like feet were all he need
ed to get about, either on the surface
or below. His body was shaped like a
submarine while his neck had the driv-
ing force Of heron's. once a fish
was caught in the birds long beak with
its backwardly directed teeth, 1t had
no chance to escape.

NO PARTY LINES
IN CHINATOWN'S
CENTRAL OFFICE
San Franolsco's Papoda.like Exchange
Looks Like Tiles From
Nah Jongo Set.

The popularity of Nah Jongg has
done much to stimulate American in
terest in all things Chinese. There
are few objects. however, even in the
Celestial Republic itself, more fas-
cinatingly Oriental than the unique
Chinese telephone exchange in our
own country which provides telephone
service for the Chinatown district of
San Francisco.
In outward appearance this tele-
phone building is as typically Chinese
as a zone bamboo" tile Pagoda-like,
II lifts its tower, studded with protrud-
ing beat.shaped balconies-a fitting
monument it would seem, to some
long dead mandarin OF the Forbidden
City.
But there is nothing dead inside the
exchange, where Chinese girl oper-
ators are kept busy handling the
trafic, under the general supervision
Of Mr.. Loo Ku Shoe, the manager,
who is a graduate of the University of
California. These operators are re-
CURED to be proficient not only in
English, but in several different
Chinese dialects, for many diverse
tongues are spoken among the four
hundred million inhabitants of that
vast country which stretches from ST.
IBERIA to India, and from the mountains
of Turkestan to the shores of the
Yellow Sea-
The Chinese, moreover, are pro-
verbally secretive and have no use
for party line telephones, so every
subscriber served by San Franciscos
pagoda telephone exchange has his
own individual line. There are about
1900 of these lines in service, and
the calls average 1000 daily.
