NOT HARMFUL TO THE BIRDS
Spraying Fluids Have No III Effect, la
the Assertion Vlade by Eminent
Zoologist.
Spraying fluids used on orchard
trees do not kill the birds as well
a8 the bugs. Pro? H A. Surface, rtate
eoologist of Pennsylvania, recently declared
in an effort to upset a theory
encouraged in some important circles.
This authoritative statement from
Professor c'ur act ought to he regarded
as conclusive and set at rest the
doubts of many readers af this page.
"1 have watched this subject with
the greatest care in thousands of
sprayed orchards in Pennsylvania,"
? ?-* * * ** *
tuo umcu tuuiuK'si sain, ana i am
prepared to say with certainty that
I never have known of a case of a
bird being killed by spraying or having
been found dead under circumBtanccs
that justify the suspicion that
this was the cause of its death.
"We have examined the stomach of
dead birds and have found no evidence
of arsenic to which their death could
be attributed.
"I live in the midBt of one of the
largest orchards in Pennsylvania,
which has been sprayed frequently,
and it is full of birds" nests. 1 am
sure that if spraying were destructive
to birds they would not be nesting in
this orchard.
"It is well known that the amount
of arsenic necessary to kill an insect
will not affect or kill a bird, and also
the birds will not eat dead insects. It
would bo necessary for the bird to eat
a great many beetles to take enough
poison to affect it in the least."
BRAZIL GETS A NEW BIBLE
Will Undoubtedly Prove a Great Aid
to the Language as Well
as Morals.
A new translation of the Bible into

Maybe they all know English

Aside from its moral values, the
Bible is particularly needed in Brazil,
it is said, us an aid to preserving the
standard forms ot language. As a
matter of history, no book has exerted
an equal influence in lands where
English is read and spoken. The
phraseology of the King James version
is interwoven through modern literature.
Its general use on this continent,
where uew conditions and a
strong tendency to slang would make
for rapid change, has had a steadying
effect on our vocabulary.
It isn't likely that the classic beauty
of the English Bible has been paralleled
in Portuguese Tint pvoh a ra.
epectablo rendering of a book which
has proved its universal appeal in
every land will help in more ways
than one. Brazil is growing rapidly.

Pretty Miss Edith Mervine of Philadelphia

But Miss Mervine is the one to whom

Two years ago Miss Mervine lost
her slipper at a dance at Atlantic City.
Paul A. Kimmins of Charleroi. Pa.,
found it on the dance floor. For several
days the young man tried in vain

but lis efforts were unsuccessful.
Finally, by accident, he heard of
a young lady who had lost a slipper at
a dance, and he called at her home
to restore the tiny piece of footwear.

the up-to-date Cinderella both underwent

Twelve days later Joseph was elected. m
Ills promotion was extraordinarily disci

bishopric of Widdln, and he thereafter trp,;
returned to Constantinople as the goas<
right hand of the exarch. In 1870 he
became metropolitan of Loftcha and a jM M

He was a man of great courage, cool wll)t

patience and high organizing talent. njKi,i
