An English journal has b7com3 alarmed at the relation of eieczrici :/ to song birds, which it maintains is closer than that of cats and fodder crops. How many of us, it asks, fore- see that electricity may extirpate the song bird. Yet, unless some unknown factor intervene, the chain of cause and effect would seem to be far simpler than that of the cat that kills the field mice that would rifie‘the nests of the ’ bumble bees that ought to fertilize the red clover. With the exception of the finches, all the English song birds may be said to be insectivorous, and their diet consists chiefly of vast numbers of very small insects, which they col- lect from the grass and herbs before the dew is dry. As the eiectric light is finding its way for street illumina- tion into the country parts of Eng- land, these poor winged atoms are slain by thousands at each light ev- ery warm summer evening, batter- ing themselves against the globes until the ground beneath isstrewn with them The fear is expressed that when Eng- land is lighted from one end to the other with electricity, the song birds will die out from the failure of their food supply. Americans have long been familiar with the destruction of insects wrought by arc lights in the warm months, but it is not on record that the naturalists in this country have given themselves any particular concern about it, or that it hasreact- ed to any serious extent against any other part. of the animal kingdom. CHINESE CONSERVATISM. It Took the Celestial Some Time to See the Utility of Telegraphy. Many tales have been told of the unwillingness of ' the Chinese to see the advantages of the introduction of the telegraph into China. A tele- graph journal now adds to the number by the recital of an incident connect- ed with the first cable along the coast from Pekin to Shanghai .Soon after the cable was laid a lottery drawing came off in Pekin, in which many of the residents of Shanghai held tickets. One of the gamblers so far overcame his distrust of the cable as to have the , winning numbers sent him, and he bought the tickets bearing them from his more skeptical townsmen, realiz- ing a small fortune on the transaction. .. Not long after there was a scanty crop of rice in the upper provinces, and a Shanghai merchant telegraphed to Pekin instructions to buy heavily. The ultimate result was that he sold out at an immense profit and retired on an independency. By degrees it began to dawn on the Chinese that it was just as well not to tear down telegraph wires, as the telegraph was a fairly good thing to have around. ‘7 Bowen’s oussn'aovennsmef' Whole Pages of the Herald and Tribuno Used to Exploit the Ledger. The conversation drifted to advertis- ing matters, and I asked Mr. Bonner to tell me the secret of his success in ad- vertising, Writes Frank G. Carpenter in the Chicago Times-Herald. . “I can hardly remember,” said the founder 'of the New York Ledger; “when I was not studying the advan- tages of different advertising features. When I was a boy the New York Her- ald was very much criticised by the other newspapers of the country. I saw that the more the Herald was talked about the more the people bought it, and when I took the Ledger I saw that I must get the paper talked about. I must not only have a good paper, but the people must know it. I would not borrow, but I spent all my surplus in advertising. One time I spent $2,000 for a single advertisement in the New York Herald; at another I offered the Tribune $3,000 for one in- sertion in the daily, weekly and tri- Weekly. I paid during one week $27,- 000 for advertising, and in one year $150,000. These sums in those days were as big as ten times the same amounts now, and many of. my friends thought I» was going crazy. At one time I paid $25,000 to the papers for publishing installments of a certain story which ended with the words, ‘continued next week in the New York Ledger.’ I did this once in the Herald, publishing two instalments, so that the readers thought they were going to get the whole story in the Herald, and then at the close of the second installs ment stated that they must look for its continuation in the Ledger. All of this rapidly increased my circulation. “One of the secrets of good adver- tising is to have your advertisements unlike those of any other man. If all advertisements in a paper are dis- played, this is equal to no display. .My advertisements were always orig-‘ inal, they attracted attention, and the publishers of the papers who were averse to a display objected to them.’ Once the elder Bennett sent word that I must use fewer capitals. I an- swered that I would not use any, and repeated one sentence announcing a new story over and over again to the extent of several columns without a break. The letters were continued out to the edge of the column line without regard to the finishing of the words, and the next day I had several columns of solid type in the Herald. The advertisement was about the most striking the Herald had ever had, and after that Mr. Bennett told me that I could do as I pleased. At one ”time the Tribune refused to give me a page in the weekly. Mr. Bennett heard of this and sent word that the Herald 'would always give me all the space I. wanted. I replied that I would take, the whole paper on the next Saturday.f Mr. Bennett said all right, and he pub-; lished an additional sheet, giving the} a page opposite each page of reading matter. I_ could give you fifty other instances of advertisements which 571:4 tracted attention, but this is enough. One‘of the great secrets of success, I believe, is'to first haVe a good thing and then to advertise it so that the. people cannot help knowing that you. have it.” A Colored Economist. “John,” said a Georgia farmer to one of his colored field hands, “you! ought to be laying up something now.I I pay you 50 cents a day.” I I “Yes, su .” . “Well, how much do you save out“ of it?” ‘ “Forty-five cents, sub.” “Is that all?” “Good gracious, Marse Tom!

SUN BONNETS FOR HORSES. “93 They are Worn During Hot Weather and Have, Decreased the Mortality. Horses in London wear straw hats during the warm season. For some time the English Society .for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals has been agitating the question of protecting the heads of 'horses during the hot weather. ' This agitation has finally had a good effect, and nearly every horse that is compelled to draw heavy loads through the London streets is now protected from the sun’s rays by a bonnet. This plan has long been followed in Erance and the hat adopted in Eng- land is the same as that used in Borde- aux. It looks much like the straw hats familiar to visitors to American summer resorts and bathing beaches. The brim is wide and there are holes through which the horse’s ears pro- ject. It is held in place by being tied to the bridle. Manufacturers of straw goods are delighted with the innovation, as they have been kept busy all summer mak- ing the hats. They sell for a trifle, but such tremendous numbers are used that the total cost is considerable. The mortality among horses has de- creased greatly since t‘he use of the hats became common. As the hats have high crowns, there is plenty of room for ventilation—New York World. Bertha—~What is the‘height of your ambition, dear?
