The Administering Woodpecker.

The California red-headed woodpeck-
er has the curious habit of storing acorns
in the bark of trees. On Howell Noun
tain, Napa County, pine one hundred
and seventy-five feet in length, for eighty
feet above the ground, contained in each
square foot of sGrface from twenty to
sixty acorns. Tne holes are drilled to
suit the size of the acorn, and each one
is driven in tightly. Mr.. Stearns, IN the
May number of the AnaericGn Natural
tst, estimates for this single tree Al, 900
acorn holes, and at the rate OF seven
acorns to the ounce, 1868 pounds of
acorns are required to fill the holes.
The probable explanation of the curious
habit is that the acorns are preserved
for the sake of the grubs, which being
small when the acorns drop, grow until
they fill the acorn, and are then eaten
by the bird. This industrious carpinte-
70, as the Spanish Californians call him,
is compelled to fight ] off marauding
species of woodpeckers, which are too
lazy to collect the hatch grubs for them
selves.
1t is singular the Indians have no
quaint story or legend connected with
this ingenious and interesting bird.
Neither Bancroft's s'Native Races of the
Pacific States,'' nor Major Powell's
contributions to Ethnology," give any
reference to myths connected with t. IL
woodpecker, and if the dusky redskins
believe it any closer to the heart of ma
ture than other birds, the ethnologisti
has not yet recorded it.-Indianabolis
Journal.
