Noted XaturalWt Doesn't Believe In ' .Animal's IteasonliMC Inver. fThat veteran naturalist, John Bur roughs, comes out strongly in the Au ,gust Atlantic Monthly against the idea of reasoning power In animals. His theory Is that they are so apparently wise in the sphere of instinct that a close observer Is surprised at their ut ter stupidity In facing a new problem. The familiar 'phenomenon of birds dashing themselves against windows, thinking to destroy a reflected rival, be cites as an Instance. What clev trness we see In the lower orders Is nerely the ignorant facility gained from necessity. if they are not clever they starve. The same law runs through all nature, from the trees which give forth new buds to replace plucked ones, to the birds who lay another clutch of eggs when despoiled t the first. Mr. Burroughs' article .is so simple and sincere and reason able tlivt Its effect should be a quiet ing one In the storm and stress of the animal Controversy. Illg Knights of Columbus Convention. 'A Jarge delegation of the members of Charlotte Cauncll, No. T70, Knights of Columbus, will leave to-day for Jamestown to attend the national convention of the Knights of Colum bus, which is to be held there this week. - The convention will assemble to-morrow and will be In session four days.! Delegate will be In attend ance from the Philippines, the Ha jjjailan Island, Cuba, Porto Itlco, Can ada and the United States. Between 25 and 10 will represent the local council. - The 'Knights of Columbus is one of the strongest Catholic orders In the land. ; U. has ?

Ross, the house mover, and those who have seen him at work wonder how he does It. Sev eral weeks ago. when Mr. It. M. Miller, Jr., decided to move his resi dence from 402 North Try on street to the rear of Mrs. John W. Miller's home on the corner of Tryon and Seventh, he consulted Mr. Ross. He told him that his house- was two stories high and 40 by 70 feet at the base., He wanted it carried ; bach three and a half feet beyond his lot, which is 160 feet deep, and left so as to stand 19 feet from Seventh, Mr. Ross and nine hands and a num ber of Jack screws, ropes, tackles, skids and rollers did the Job Inside of fifteen days. The only damage to the house was the loss of a pleas, of plaster about the xtze of a mate' hat and that was about to fall when.; the work began. Those woo watcne. the progress of the mover marveled at his success, .'.v:--. ;''-.,-;.';;;;" When seen by an Observer man yesterday fcnd asked how he did the trick, he said: 1 nave learned irom years of experience. In my day I have moved all sorts of houses. Re cently-1 did a Job at Spencer - that interested me very much. 1 movea a two-storv omce - ouiicimg atro the main line of the Southern, put It on four flat -cars,: placed two to gether on. two tracks, took it a mile uo the track, lifted it from the cars. rarried it hack across the main line and deposited it some distance rrom tho road. In do ng this I nad to consider the blocking of the traffic. Therefore, I made haste to cross the main line and was Just 'SO minutes n doing that part of my tasK.T "What about tnc juiot uuumj. How did you go about that! Why, I Jacked . it up v tne ; nrsi thing." 'How is that done?" Take a number of Jack screws and place them between the pillars. I used about 60 on me Mm v"" When thev are In ' place knock out the old supports and put In your skids and rollers. This Is simple if you have ' no turns to make, but when you must wheel the house around,' you've got to figure to. a mathematical fineness and then move. , "The Miller house has three chim neys. We ran Jhre wood needles or blocks through It, put the braces beneath them and then Jacked. "In ; order to move the house I used three sets of track, and to make the turn put a pivot m under the middle one and pointed all of the rollers toward It. When ready to roll the Jack screws are removed. R6pe and tackle and a double geared crab are used as mutlvo power. "Did you land at the right place? "Almost exactly In the spot. We had placed the , pivot right. That makes the work easy." "Did you damage the hpuse any? "No. A small piece of plastering fell. The furniture was not re moved. The occupants could have remained In the building had it not been for the inconvenience of get ting. In and out." - ! THE CITY ENCIRCLED. Big Transmission lines of tlie South ern Power Company Alnios .n loso tho Oty A Mark of Life. .Charlotte is almost circumvented with big electric transmission lines belonging to the Southern Power Company. One line passes south of the fair grounds and connects with the station at the old water-works plant near Independence Park. An other line passes on and terminates In the monster steam plant near the new Highland Park Mill. From that sta tion, a big line runs north to Con cord and another strikes off west In the direction of the new .water-works plant. Almost all of the lines are strung on steel towers, which are ex ceedingly Interesting to examine. These towers are some fifty feet in height and are built with an eye sin gle to strength. They are construct ed to stand any strain and withstand any blow or storm. Their presence has excited considerable comment on the part of those who did not know what they were for. They evidence the progressive spirit of the city.
