CHARLES KELLOGG recently shot very pecu-
liarlooking bird near his grist mill on the out
skirts of Great Darlington, Mass. No one
seemed to know to what species it belonged,
and it was sent to a naturalist in Boston, who
writes as follows: THE bird is a Florida gal
linule; its native place is in the south, princi-
pally Florida. This bird was Matched this year,
and it is not unusual for young birds to leave
their place of nativity and travel in the opposite
direction from which they should. You can
consider this bird decided prize on account of
the locality from which it was taken, as it is the
first recorded instance of one being found i'm the
Berkshire hills The bird has gray plumage
and is web-footed.

"What gives rise TO these bacillii"
Their breeding places IRE in decay
ing vegetation. Young plants in a
room are propagatois. and they will
come from any place where matters
are undergoing decay. The spores
from such are carried into the atmos-
phcrc by the cvaporating Of moisture

plants-and thence passes into the
lungs. The healthy action Of the kid.

cnce in the blood. thereby preventing
tho proper elimination Of the constitu-
cnts Of the urine. and. consequently,
causing their accumulation in the sys-

Two Hundred and Eighty Years of Inn


In 1909, after traversing the Hudson
River from mouth to Albany, and cure
fully noting tho grandeur and beauty on
either side OF this magnificent highway Of
nature, Hcndrick Hudson wrote these
words
at is as beautiful land as one can tread upon"
Two hundred and eighty years have mar
vclously increased tho beauty of the great
river called by his name, and could he re-
turn to the scenes Of his manhood, he
would fnd many more lovely sights
than those upon which his eyes rested
in the carly part of the seventeenth
century. The natural beauties of the
Hudson are much the same, and no
description. can exaggcrate them; but the
magnificent steamers that ply between New
York and Albany, the innumcrable sailing
craft that dot the surface of the mighty
river, the er-ending clusters of canal
boats that are being towcd up and down,
the beautiful villas that ono encounters at
every turn, the magnificent monuments,
perpetuating heroic deeds, that we find here
and there along the banks of this 4noblest
rIYer of the cuntinenf, add an endless va
riety to the scenery, and reSiStlesS charm
TO the eye Of the traveller.
The Now York Central and Hudson River
Railroad runs along the bank Of the Hudson
river the entire distance between New York
and Albany, and is the great Trunk Line
that connects the metropolis of the Western
world with the famous health and pleasure
resorts of Central, Northern and Western
New York. including in its list the Catskill
Mountains, Saratoga, Lake George, Sharon
and Richiicld Springs, Lake Ontario, tho
Berkshire Hills, Niagara Falls, the Thou
sand Islands, Lake Ghamplain, the RiyerSt.
Lawrence, and hundreds of'others.
The New York Central is q part OF tho
great national highway across the conti-
nent, and for the beauty of its scenery, the
number, and Importance of the cities through
which it passes, its almost total lack Of
grades and curves, this great four-track
railway is unsurpassed in Europe or Amer
