This is the age of mechanics and

proselyted in the name of it's new

Robin Had Business There

Some time during the winter a
pane of glass was broken in the
clubhouse of the Bath (Maine) Coun-
try club and an early arrival from
the south decided that was good
place to build a nest and rear her
young. AS the clubhouse had not
been kept open during the winter no
one knew about the feathered visitor
and recently the glass was reset.
Then it was noticed that robin kept
flying against the glass and pecking
at it. Inside the clubhouse was
found a nest with two blue eggs in it.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

Marine Corps, as compared with an av-
erage Of Is, 5,343 men provided for 1888.
The estimate of 81, ,400, 600 included
in this Budget for modernization of
battleships is sufficient to complete
work on two battleships and to carry
forward work on the other ship now
in dock.
For construction of new vessels the
1884 estimates total $38, 8,845 900. This
sum, together with the amount of
S., ,000, 900 to be transferred to this ac-
count from the naval supply account
fund and an estimated balance of
$9,525, 900 to be carried over from 1888,
will make available for 1894 total of
S53,380, 900. This amount is ample to
continue work at normal rate OF
progress on all vessels now under way.

Gown in January. 1884. and fou- de-
stroyers to be laid down in the first
half of the fiscal year 1884. The
amount appropriated for 1888 for con-
struction of new vessels was $18,-
O63,000. In addition, S7,000,000 was
authorized to be transferred from other
appropriations and balance of $751;
$4,000 was carried over from 1882,
making a total availability for 1888 of
$62, $50 900. While the estimates for
vessel construction for 1884 are about
$21, 100000 In excess of the appropri-
alton for 1898, the availability for 1884
will be some $9,500,0 900 less than the.
availability for 1888. This difference Is
largely accounted for in the estimated
savings due to the continuation Of pro-
visions of the Economy Act and the
anticipated reduction in labor costs.

Notwithstanding the large reduction
in expenditures estimated for the cur
rent fiscal year below those In the fiscal
year 1892 and the increased revenues
anticipated during this year under the
revenue laws enacted at the last session
Of Congress, large excess Of expendi-
lures with consequent increase in the

public debt is anticipated for the cur
rent fiscal year.
Such q situation can not be continued
without disaster to the Federal finances
The recommendations herein presented
to the Congress for further drastic re-
ductions In expenditures and increased
revenues will serve to prevent further
increase in the public debt during the
fiscal year 1894 only If Congress will re-
frain from placing additional burdens
upon the Federal Treasury.
can not too strongly urge that every
effort be made to limit expenditures
and avoid additional obligations not
only In the interest of the already
heavily burdened taxpayer but in the
interest Of the very integrity Of the
finances Of the Federal Government.

ary 1, 1929. A provision Of the Econ
on1y Act prohibits reduction in such
wage rates during the fiscal year 1888
This provision is not recommended for
continuation through 1894.
A total decrease of $4,576,000 In the
cost of national defense is reflected in
this Budget by the inclusion in the
Post Office Department chapter Of a
general provision suspending. for the
fiscal year 1884, the re-enlistment al
lowance or bonus" to enlisted men
There Is certainly at this time no ne
cessity of the military service which
justif1es the payment Of a cash bonus
to men for re-enlisting in the service.
Unexpended Balances.
Following the policy which I have
uniformly pursued and which has had
the concurrence of the Congress, am
not recommending that the require
ments for 1884 be met in part by a re-
appropriation or extension of the avail
ability of unexpended balances of appro-
priations for the fiscal year 1888 except
in those cases in which moneys appro-
priated for specific non-recurring pro-
ject remain unexpended and it is neces-
sary to continue the availability of the
funds for the same purpose or purposes
for which originally appropriated.

New Babel in Africa
In Government Change

GENEVA-"How many languages do
you expect us TO have to learn?" is the
burden of complaints brought unofficial
ly to the attention of the Mandates
Commission of the League of Nations.
These complaints come from natives of
Togoland and the CameroonS on the
west coast of Africa.
For 30 years both were German
colonies and the natives learned Ger
man. During the war British forces
were more numerous in the army that
defeated the Germans and occupied the
territories, SO that the natives began to
learn English; many already had
learned that language in missionary
schools. The peace treaties inundated
the former German colonies to France
and the natives had to learn French.
Now there Is talk either of returning
Togoland and the Cameroons to Ger
many or of transferring the mandate
to Italy. and the natives are wondering
whether they will have to brush up
their German or to start learning
Italian.
The vicissitudes of the two colonies
are exemplified in many native families
The case Is cited here Of a minor
Christian official with IL children. The
eldest have such names as Fritz or
Dorothea, the intermediate are called
John or Margery. while the young
est have been christened Pierre or

Railroad to Cross Sahara Desert,
Long Considered, Pressed i'm France

PARIS-With the duel object of de-
veloping the French colonies in Africa
and of giving work to a large number
of unemployed in France, $50 members
of the Chamber of Deputies have in
dorsed a resolution asking the prime
minister to submit to Parliament a bill
that was drafted some time ago for the
construction of a railroad across the
Sahara Desert.
The question of building such a
railway has been broached periodi-
cally for many years. The scheme is
an ambitious one, for the promoters
envisage extensions of the French line
through Nigeria (BritiSh) French Equa-
torial Africa and the Congo (Belgian)
to connect with the lines of the South
African Union. 1t is proposed also
to link the Trans-Saharan line east
ward with the existing railroads in
British East Africa and westward with
the existing French lines.
Thus Africa would have a network
of railroads which would cover the
greater part of the continent. BY rail
the majority of the French colonies
would be several days distant from the
homeland instead of several weeks, as
they are today with connection by sea.
The British East African possessions
would be three weeks nearer to Europe
than they are now.
1t Is considered that the crossing of
the desert would present no obstacles
that cannot be overcome by modern
engineering science. The route has
been explored in detail; for that mat
ter, automobile traffic is possible today
from Oran to Gao. on the Niger, which
would be the first French section Of
the line.
Many arguments are advanced in
favor of the Trans-Saharan line. From
the military point of view, it Is pointed
out that native troops could be brought
to France more rapidly and more safely
in case of war. From the economic
point Of view, it is urged that the line
would. for example, bring beef from
the Lake Chad region, where it cannot
find purchasers, to equatorial Africa,
where the native population suffers
from lack of meat. From the So
Geological point of view. it is shown
that many tropical diseases could be
combated with greater SUCCESS Il there

is aggravated by the extraordinary in
crease of population, particularly in
Europe.
1 have written and spoken great
deal, particularly in recent months, on
the need and the difficulty of reconcll-
ing the interests of man with technical
progress, and 1 shall never tire of Sle
subject. However, I will deal with /
here only in conjunction with a second
and still more important problem-that
of the population of the world and of
Europe.

ignored the broader aspects Of this
question; the technical statistics which
they examine periodically, and which
abound in details but do not give the

wider view. are considered by them only
in the light of their own prejudices.
They deplore the stagnation in popula-
ton here and desire an increase of
population there. Few of them are able
to visualize the vast problem which the
following few figures will make clear:
In 1910 the world had only $50 ,o00,-
600 inhabitants; by 1918 the number
had increased to 1,750,00000 Thus,
the population of the earth increased
by over 1.000, 900 900, having more than
doubled within the space of single
century.
And Europe? In 1910 1t had only
10000 900 inhabitants, while by 1918
in l03 years-its population had near
ly trebled, to 450,000,000.
