“i, Exterminating the Birds. IIILIJNERS CAUSING WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER AND CRUEL‘I'Y AT HOME AND ABROAD. Some one has said if women could only know of the destruction oi bird life that their love of finery occasions they would make it unfashionable to wear the feathers of murdered birds. In 1886 at least 5,000,000 birds were required to fill the demand for ornament.ng ladies' hats. Forty thousand terns were killed in a single seas0n on Cape Cod ; 1.000.000 rail and reed birds (bobo~ links) in a single month near Philadel- phia. The swamps and marshes of Florida are well known to have become depopulated of egrets and herons, and according to the New Orleans Time:- Democrut the state at large has become a favorite slaughter ground for milli- ner's emissaries. Seventy thousand birds were killed in a small village on Long Island in the short space of four months. A lady in Florence heard the mournful notes of some birds in small cages. They were blind. Their eyes had been put out. The cages are hung in trees smeared with tar. The birds sing and attract other birds. who get stuck in the tar. They are caught and their eyes put out. The little tufts of feathers which have been so much worn are taken from the beautiful egrets or small herons, who have them only during the breeding season. The bird is shot while trying to protect its young ones. and is easily caught on that account, and the young birds are left to starve. Many of the most useful and beautiful species of the birds are becom- ing extinct. Says a writer in the Boston, Herald : “ There have been tons of arsenic used in the past few years in the preservation of the bodies and feathers of birds. It settles upon the eyes and nostrils of those wearing the birds, and gives headaches and other ill feelings." An extract from a letter from Michigan gives some idea of the complaints made by farmers: “ The destruction of birds has been carried on to such an extent that it is hardly possible to raise any kind of fruit, even the grapes as well as the apples getting too wormy to Use. It is estimated that they save $100,000,000 annually to the farmer." Michelet. the great French authority, says : " There could be on vegetation, and, therefore, no life. if the birds were all destroyed Let every man frown upon ladies wear- ing feathers or birds and they will seen give up the fashion. In fact. I always look upon a lady with a feather or bird upon her but as lacking in sensibility and refinement." Germany the Land of Books. Does the Anglo-Saxon pride of race give England and America the general impression that they are first in the fiel ' of literary activity. as in so many other fields? If so I fear that. pride must have a fall. For they are outdone b. at least three Continental nations. The average number of books published each year in England and in this coun- try holds nearly the sanreâ€"aboutfiflfit), exceeding those of France by 100-) But now comes sunny Italy, the land 0 idleness. with 6000 titles to its credit! â€"â€"though this includes pamphlets and minor brochures. Higher still rises taciturn. censor-ridden Russia. with over 9000. This Seems sufiioiently in- credible. But the combined literary output of America, England. Franc. and Russia would be needed to parallel the publications of that country of spec- taelcd pr:vibratorsâ€"Germany.

A pistol shot is always sure to bring other peopleâ€"maybe the policeâ€" and therefore he Won't shoot. except in self defence. So you see. there‘s no sense in being afraid of a burglar. The burglar is the one that needs to be afraid He's taking all the risk. " I‘ll never forget one night when I was going through a house on the South Side. 1 had crawled in at a kitchen window and tried the front rooms with- out gotting anything. and then I worth? up stairs. The first room I struck was a big one at the head of the stairs. All the lights were out, but the curtains were up. and I could see everything in the room. There was a man asleep in the bed. He snared very loud. I be- gan to fumble on the dresser. and I came across a box made. of polished wood. as I could tell by the feel of it. I lifted the lid and found a tray lid under it. When I tried to raise this second lid. Ihappened to press against a lover or knob or something, and that little box suddenly made more noise than a brass hand. You see. it was a music box. one of the kind that you start 00' by a push of the finger. It had bells, too. that made an awful racket. " The minute that box began to pump away the man sat up in bed and says, ‘ Who's there ?' I started for the stair- way and fell over a chair. You should have heard the yell that: man let out. I simply rolled down the stairs. fell out of that window and ran lor dear life. All this time the man had his head out of the window and was calling: ‘ He-e e-lpl I-Ie-e e-lp ! ' It Would be hard to say which was scared the worse. I ran through alloys for half a mile, and when I found I was sale I went into a saloon to rest up and laugh at the good joke. " Next day I didn't laugh. so much when I read in the paper that the man had over 8300 in his clothes that were lying on a chair in the room." - Building ig Vaults. GUARDING AGAINST BURGLARS HAS Bl- COME A FINE ART. The most vulnerable part of a vault now is the edge of the door. It is al- most impossible to make an absolutely tight joint. one which will be impervious to liquid explosives. The old method of attack was by powder blown into the crack of the vault door. As the. con- struction of these doors became more perfect this was made itnpractieable. Then the burglar turned his attention to other explosives'and today he uses uitro-glycerine. Nitro-glyct-rine when warm runs as freely as water. If the crack ofa door is not absolutely tight the nitro-glycerinc will find some small lodging place in it. When exploded it rips oil" the door. tears oil" its outer layers or opens a space where a larger charge of explosives can be used. If the joint in too well fitted to permit the use of nitroglycerine, and the vault is in an isolated place where powerful explosives can be used, dynamite is laid against a weak spot and well tninpt-d. Its explo» sion either makes an opening or wt-ali'ens the Walls or door so that tools or other explosives can be usedto advantage. Witha guarantee ofcomparative freedom for operation a set of burglars can enter a modern vault in one to eight hours. The shortest process is usually by the use of exploaives. and it has been found that the high explosives are singularly local in effect and produce very littlo sound. Hammer and sledge are often used, though burglars prefer boring. with the nae oi a blow pipe to draw the temper of the steel attacked. But the modern construction renders this some“ times extremely difficult. because of the high conductivity of the iron and the close contact of the Cold steel adjacent, Burglars seldom attempt to make holes of more than an inch in diameter. and the heat from the small flame’that can be introduced through such a hole is very quickly dissipated. Sometimes the burglar bores through the soft metal and breaks the intervening slice-til of hard metal with the blows ofa hammer. removing the metal piecemeal. It is estimated that an capert with finely tempered tools will work through an inch of vault wall in an hour. It some- times happens, though, that an inexpert burglar abandons a job after penetrating the outer layer of steel, because Ill» poor- ly tempered tools were all dulled in the attempt. l .m -h.. ..._
