THE SERVICE OF BIRDS.
Among the creatures that render
service to mankind the birds occupy
a foremost place. It Is their function
to suppress the Insects that play
havoc with the farmer's hard-earned
crops. Fifty-three per cent of the
food of birds In one locality was found
to cotiHlBt of the larvae of the dis
ease disseminating mosquitoes. Horse
flies are the burden not only of Horses,
but of other valimble stock, and the
larvae of this fly are the natural food
of several species of birds. The fever
tk, so Injurious to cattle. Is thd
natural food of the kllldeer and the
plover. Corn, cotton and other crops
are" destroyed to a large extent by
grasshoppers, and there are at least
23 species of birds that food upon
grasshoppers. Gra-,s lands and grain
crops In general suffer greatly from
various Insect pests, which are de
stroyed In voflt multitudes by birds.
The greatly dreaded boll weevil is
food for the plover, the kllldeer and
others of the feathered tribe. It Is a
common experience to see birds fol
lowing the plow and consuming grubs
that are destructive to garden and
other valuable plants. These friends,
of the plunter should In every stale
be protected by right legislation.
The announcement by a Boston phy-,
slclan that electrifying the atmosphere
of crowded apartments will make dull
pupils bright and Indolent workmen
active may be worth looking Into. It
Is possible that It would even make
drowsy churchgoers attentive to long
sermons. There Is a stimulating Influ
ence In ozone, and this the electric
current, as employed by the doctor,
la said to diffuse In the atmosphere.
Of course, It cannot be a substitute
for fresh air. Ozone Is not oxygen,
and oxygen Is Indispensable to life.
If It proves as beneficial as the doctor
affirms the world will give It a cordial,
welcome, but the extent of Its employ
ment necessarily will be governed
very largely by what It costs.
The Chicago health board secretary
who condemns all flats as bad morally
ind physically unfit places for the
rearing of children states a melan
choly truth. It Is likely that they will
persist In cities as a necessary evil,
but parents who can give their chil

life of a separate home should never
hesitate to do so.
A rich man In Illinois, who found
wealth too much worry, has distribut

but to whom the thought of shedding
the burden has never apparently sug
gested Itself. '
HlRtorlnns tell us-that Julius Caesar
drank beer, and' a French scientist
comes to bat with the announcement
that there was no such person as
Julius Caesar. But even the most
hardened skeptic would hesitate be
fore claiming that there Is no such
thing as beer.

Railroads announce that after the

Atlantic and Pacific Fleets to
Mobilize.
126 WARSHIPS IN REVIEW
The Vessels, Which Will Have a Com
blned Tonnage Of 693,844, Will
Assemble At New York
and Los Angeles.
Washington! The mobilization cf
the Atlantic and Pacific' fleets at
New York and Los AnReles October 30
to November 2 will mark the gather
ing of the greatest naval force that
ever floated in the waters of this hemi
sphere. This probubly will be the last
assembling of prcsent-duy warahipB
with ihfs United States of America
standing second In the list of treat
maritime powers, for It Is certain that
at the rate of development of the ship
building plans of Germany that nation,
within three years at least, will ni-ne
up to second place unless Congress
should see lit to authorize each year
additions to the American Navy at
least double those now provided for
by the existing naval program, which
contemplates the construction of but
two battleships yearly.
The Navy Department Just made
public the full list of the vessels to be
assembled for the great reviews at
New York and Los Angeles, and while
the number combined does not equal
the 135 vessels reviewed by the Ger
man Emperor at Kiel last summer,
the 126 American ships, with their
tremendous displacement of 683,844
tons, are really more powerful than
the German fleet.
Second Greatest Display.
The Atlantic fleet will comprise 102
vessels of all classes, with a total din
placement of 677,599 tons, and the
Pacific fleet, 24 vessels of 116,243
tons. The combined fleets will In
clude 32 armored ships, while the Ger
man fleet numbered 29. The Ameri
can battleships will number 22 nnd
the armored cruisers 6, while the Ger
man fleet Included 23 battleships and
6 armored cruisers.
France assembled 24 battleships and
10 armored cruisers at the Toulon re
view last summer, but the fleet was
much weaker than America's will be
in other ships, as the total French dis
play Included only R2 ships. Of course,
none of the three countries above
named could compare with England,
which assembled 173 Bhips at the coro
nation review at Spit Mend, compris
ing 22 battleships and 2a armored
cruisers.
ROOSEVELT DIGS ARBITRATION.
Most Treaties Are Merely Promissory
Notes.
New York. Declaring that "general
arbitration treaties are merely promis
sory notes and that no promise comes
in the same category as action,"
Theodore Roosevelt in the Outlook
ays: "I do not regard even good gen
eral arbitration treaties as of really
prime Importance."
Holding up the action of Russia In
refusing to permit American citizens
of Jewish faith to travel In that coun
try as an indication of the readiness
with which treaties are disregarded
Mr. Roosevelt suggests that the ques
tion of abrogating the Russo-Amerl-can
treaty of 1832 be submitted to
arbitration.
Mr. Roosevelt says that it Is In
evitable the treaty will be denounced.

Chicago. While being carried Into
an undertaking establishment on the
West Side David Kasley, 32 years old,
of La Grange, 111., who was thought to
be dead, suddenly regained conscious
ness and shouted: "Take me out of

was taken to a hospital for treatment
and may recover from Injuries receiv
ed when he was struck on the head
with a rifle while quarreling with Ros

Royalists' Game Of Tag.
Chaves, Portugal. The royalist
parties are playing a game of hide and
seek with the republican troops and
whenever there Is danger of being
"tagged," they retreat Into Spanish
territory, only to appear again soon
at another point on the border. One
detachment Is encamped directly on
the frontier at Segura. All this Is ex
asperating to the republican command
ers, who are under strict orders from
Lisbon not to violate Spanish territory.

i
Never-to-be-Forgotten Scenes In the
Golden Gate Park All San Fran
cisco In a Delirium Of
Excitement.
San Francisco. .More than 100,000
people massed In the Golden Gate
Stadium Saturday to Bee President

broke the ground lor the site of the
Panama -I'acillc Exposition of 1915.

Ills parade from the city. Every mili
tary post for miles along the Pacific
Coast had been ransacked for its
troops and Its bands and every battle
ship of tho I'acillc fleet near San
Francisco supplied u quota of Its crew
for the parade.
When the President appeared at the
stadium four bands from all the corn
ers of the groundH struck up Hall to
the Chief. Before the President was
seen the crowd had cuught the mean
ing of the tune, and when Mr. Taft
stepped onto the platform the hillside
before him presented acre upon acre
of swaying, cheering humanity. They
were a crowd of a festival city on a
day of exceptional festivity, and a
word set them cheering.
Madame Nordlca, who sang at tho
ground-breaking exercises, rode In an
automobile JiikI behind the President.
When she appeared upon the stand'
the people showed their holiday spirit
by tho ovation they gave her. Then
the voice of Madame Nordlca rose
over the crowd. She sang without
accompaniment some simple English
song. The crowd listened to her In
tentlyl By the time the President aroBe to
speak the enthusiasm was at fever
heat. It was a hard task that he had
before him when he began to tell
them of the enormous task of con
struction the Panama Canal really
was. He spoke of Its history and then
of Its future significance to the peo
ple of California and the whole west
coast of the country, lie concluded
by tacitly admitting that it was true
that he wanted the people of Califor
nia to have the exposition.
When the President finished speak
ing the Golden spade with which ho
was to turn the earth was handed
him. He walked down from the plat
form to the hillside and with IiIh smile
at Its broadest set his substantial foot
upon the spade. The hillside tiptoed
and fought to catch a glimpse of him.
He gave a shove and the spade sank
Into the ground. He lifted the shovel
full of earth before the crowd and
they took up their cheering with re
newed vigor. The dirt wss laid finally
In a silver and gold-mounted case.
A soldier handed the President the
halvards of the exposition flag. The
band struck up the Stnr-Spangled
Bnnner. Madame Nordlca stepped for
wnrd on the platform and led the
crowd In the singing. The President
halted, hat over hnnd and the banner
of San Francisco's hope for 1915 was
run to the masthead.
Madame Nordlca was not allowed
to finish the song. Cannon on the hill
sides about the stadium crashed out
a salute of twenty-one guns. The bat
tleships In the harbor caught the
salute and their big guns boomed an
echo to the salute. Three hundred
pigeons, 200 white doves and 100 car
rier pigeons were released from
baskets.
