from about the time of the Greet
war. One reason for its popularity
that it is easy to learn to priy h
great many people dislike sax-
ophone music but something like
a hundred thousand of these in-
struments- are turned out every
year by American factories air!
shipped1 all over the world.
I dined the other night with tr.e
“European representative of an im-
portant American financial insti-
tution, ovjer here on a vacation
He told lie that it was the canny
Scotchmen who are responsible for
the present activity in the bond
and stock market in the Unittd
States.
Edinburgh is the headquarters of
a large number of British invest-
ment trusts. Along in the early
part of the summer the managers
of these trusts, looking for sound
investments observed that condi-
tions seemed to be improving in
the United States, that there was
no longer any fear of our monetary
stalbdity, that some commodity price*
were beginning to rise and that
d plans for the rehabilitation
the financial situation were be-
ginning to operate.
Art, the same time they noted
that American securities, particu-
larly bonds, were selling at ridicu-
lously low prices, so they began to
buy them. They bought, and they
kept on buying, and in a month or
so their buying began to affect the
Wall Street securities market and
American investors began to fol-
low their example.
So my friend told me.
Some day we will get a large part
of our heat and power wl'hout
using any fuel at all. In Italy
more than 12,000 kilowatts of en-
ergy are generated by the heat ob-
tained by drilling holes into vol-
canic mountains. In Sonoma, Cal-
ifornia, the steam from geysers is
utilized to produce almost is much
energy.
The late Sir Herbert Parsons,
inventor of the steam turbine,
worked out a plan for boring a
hole for twenty miles or more into
be hot interior of the earth am’
roved to the satisfaction of many
engineers that its cost woind bo
more than repaid by the continu-
ous supply of heat and power
which would thus be obtained.
We haven’t as yet begun to more
than scratch the surface of this
old earth's possible sources of
wealth.

Every little while some sportsman
or naturalist reports having seen
a live passenger pigeon. On in-
vestigation, however, it always
turns . out that the bird was a
mourning dove, which is a smaller
bird.
One hundred years ago, in 1832.
Alexander Wilson, a famous nat-
uralist. saw at Frankfort, Kentucky,
a flock of passenger pigeons a mho
wide and so long that it took four
hours to cross the town, flying at
the rate of a mile a minute, fie
estimated that there were more
•than two million birds in this one
flock. A hundred years earlier an
observer in Pennsylvania reporteo
at the passenger pigeons alighted
such numbers on trees as to
bretak the branches off.
The last known Individual pas-
senger pigeon died in the Cincin-
nati Zoological Park in 1914. The
extinction of this bird is supposed
to be due to their wholesale salugh-
ter by hunters. In 1879 passenge”
pigeons sold at retail in the Ohi -
cago markets for sixty cents a
dozen and a boy with a shotgun
could make $10 a day by killing
them, even at that price.
This is only one of the forms of
native wild life which, like the
buffalo, have utterly vanished from
the Amerioan scene because of un-
checked slaughter. Fortunately
most states now have well enforced,
game laws to protect such wild
creatures as we have left.
