U. S. DOOMS BURROS AS PEST
Animals Charged With Destroying the
Beauty of Grand Canyon of
the Colorado.
Washington.—The lowly burro, en
shrined In western legend as the
herele prospector, has been officially
classed as a "veritable pest" by the
United States government.
This animal, und Its progeny In
countless ^numbers. abandoned by Its
former owners, according to Stephen
T. Mather, director of the national
park service, has selected the Grand
canyon of the Colorado for its habitat,
and the availability of the canyon's
scenic beauties In consequence are al
most disappearing.
The burro. Mr. Mather says, "de
stroys the trails, denudes the pastures
of grass and oth£r forage so that na
tive wild game, such as antelope, bus
been forced out." He adds that "the
time Is not faj- distant when radical
steps will have to be taken to elim
inate the burro evil."
SOLUTION FOR FUEL PROBLEM
French Scientist Urges Use of Wind
and Water to Replace
Coal.
Paris.—Wind and water hold the so
lution of the fuel shortage in France.
E. Colardeau told his associates at the
Academy of Sciences at Its last meet
ing.
He presented what ne considered
proof In the results of an Installation
on Ills kitchen faucet of a water tur
bine which drives a dynamo that
charges storage batteries.
City pressure on the water. In* ex
plalned, is sufficient - to' furnish a
household with electric light.
In the country, M. Colanleau would
Install windmills to pump water !o e!<
vated tanks and utilize the fall of the
water through a pipe to turn the
charging turbine.
New Interest has been taken here in
this Idea of household installations,
because the higher costs of fuel ami
"power. It Is considered, may make
practicable these water turbines.
A federal reserve bank official says
that about half the total currency of
the United States Is being carried in
people's pockets, when it would be a
great deal better invested. But it
takes half the currency of the country
for Incidental purposes nowadays.
