Protect the 'Flyqoays"

DATTERNING a bird conservation program
! much along the line of emergency landing
fields for tine airways, the Biological Survey
is planning to provide adequate stopping places
for the birds along their natural "fyways" as
they migrate back and forth with the seasons.
An executive order recently issued by the
President has placed 100000 at the disposal
of the survey for migratory bird refugees.
Jay N. Darling, the noted cartoonist who,
because Of his great interest in conservation,
was chosen as head of the Biological Survey
recently, declared that more than 1900, 900
acres of natural bird land, marsh and heavily
wooded areas, have been taken away from the
birds for various promotional purposes. 1t is
hoped that with the 81, 100000 fund now avail
able the shortage of bird areas may be over
come and the wild life restored once more TO
a point somewhere near where it was before
the natural habitats were destroyed by the
onward march of development.
Particularly vital is the provision Of ade-
quate nesting areas and sections where young
may be raised with some chance of reaching the
adult stage.

Buried His Treasure In
Woods; Couldn't Find II

II was In the bloody and turbulent
days OF King Charles ! that stancl.
royalist, one Eustice Mann, decided
that his fortune would be safer under
ground Than in strong boxes where it
might fall into the hands of Crom-
wells forces. writes a correspondent
in the New York Herald Tribune. So
at dead of night he dug a hole in the
little wood on the island and buried
his treasure in true piratical style But
quite obviously he forgot one impor-
tant item which, according to tradition,
the buccaneers never overlooked. He
quite neglected to mark the hiding
place Of his wealth or to make a chart
with crosses and bearings and similar
symbols and cryptic ciphers. as all pro-
fessional treasure hiders should do.
AS result of his carelessness when,
with the king again on the British
throne, friend Mann shouldered pick
and shovel and entered the coppice to
disinter his fortune, he discovered to
his dismay that brush and saplings and
weeds and grass had so altered the
appearance Of the patch of woods that
ne hadn't the remotest idea where he
had Inferred the treasure. Although
ne dug and dug, and although many
have searched the coppice since then.
poor Eustace Mann's treasure still lies
hidden In the mold of the Money Cop
pice." and If ever it is found in all
probability it will be by accident.

Handling Peat Soils

The first step In reclamation Of peat
or muck soils is thorough drainage.
Deep fall blowing. to hasten decom.
position, and rolling are beneficial on
the deeper peats. Seeding down to
timothy and pasturing for several
years is advisable with raw peat. The
second step in making peat land pay
Is fertilizing. Peat contains from ten
to fifteen times as much nitrogen as
the common soils and is badly out Of
plant-food balance. II the peat is fair
ly well decomposed. applications Of
phosphate usually are profitable.
About 200 pounds of potash, plus 200
pounds of 20 per cent superphosphate,
supplied to test plots show the most
economical treatment. Wallace's

Simple Inventions Have
Made MANY Men Wealthy

Inventions Of the simplest devices
have often reaped fortunes from their
efforts.
Popular Mechanics says that the toy,
dancing Jim Crow" yielded its inven-
tor $75,OOO year, while the man who
invented the roller skate realized more
than $1.0OO,O00. Rubber tips for lead
pencils yielded the man who thought
OF 1t 100000 a year. and S2,5OO,0OO
was realized by the inventor Of shoe
laces.
The ordinary umbrella earned more
than $10.000,O0O for it's inventor, and
the man who made the first steel writ
ing pens received an enormous fortune.
The inventor of the metallic heel-plate
for shoes sold 143,OOO,OOO a year, and
realized more than $1,5O0,OOO in royal
ties.
Such returns, of course, are realized
only in rare instances. They usually
result from the happy combination of
great marketing skill with a clever in
vention that catches the public fancy.

The Traffic Light Svstem

The use of lights in traffic signaling
undoubtedly grew out of railroad prac-
tice. Their use seemed to arrive more
or less simultaneously in the larger
cities of the country. They were first
used in the form of lanterns to make
visible at night the indications of
officer-operated semaphores. Later both
officers and lights were raised in tow
ers for the purpose of making the in
dicatiOns more visible to traffic and to
give the officers better view of traf-
fic conditions and the activities Of Of
ficers at adjacent intersections. The
advantages Of officers at adjacent in
tersections working together led to the
development of interconnected, me-
chanically-timed signals and the sub
sequent development of the elaborate
technical methods which are in general
use.

New three-month high marks
were established in the hog market
Monday with prices for medium
weights fully so cents a hundred
higher than last Monday.
Colder weather and active de-
mand for fresh pork at higher
prices is attributed by some to the
advance in prices. Others feel
that the activity of Federal buyers
in this and other markets is the
sole cause for the rise.
The market for most hogs weigh
ing over 240 pounds remained at
a standstill the bulk of the
buyers activities centering again
on hogs for the Federal Surplus

ton for this class developed among
the buyers and hogs weighing be-
tween $50 and 24O pounds advanced
to $5.15, which is fully 20 cents
higher than Saturdays closing
prices and the highest recorded
in Baltimore since last November

Following a week of limited calf
receipts the run Monday was again
light and the demand was good.
The strong competition among kill
ers for the 1875 calves on hand was
the stimulating factor in boosting
the price fully so cents hundred,
