A FRIEND OF The FOREST
Assistant OrnithOlogist Bears Pam
phlet on the Woodpecker.
The Great Couservator of the For
cst-Preservation of Timber Due
to These Active Birds.

The Department of Agriculture believes
that the American woOdpecker Is one Of
the best friends that the American farmer
and forester has. Assistant 0rnithologist
Beal, OF the department, has prepared
pamphlet on the ubiecto OF the woudpecker,
and which will he given general circulation
through the country.
Mr.. Beal says that five or six species
of woodpecker are familiar in the eastern
United states, and in the West areTepiaced
10y Othc,s OF sira,ia- habits Several spe
cies remain in the northern States during
The entire year, while Others are more pr
less migratory.
Farmers are prone To look upon this bird
with suspicion: rarely. though. do these
birds leave any important mark on a
healthy tree but when the tree rs affected
by wood boring larvae, the insects are To-
Gated, lisIodged, snd devoured. In case
the holes from the borers have become
occupied by colonies of ants, these are in
turn drawn out and eaten.
Two of the hest known woodpeckers,
the hairy woodpecker and the downy wood
pecker, including their races, range ovcr
for the most part remain throughout the
year in the usual haunts. They differ
chiefly in size, for their colors are practi-
cally the same, and the males, like other
woodpeckers, are distinguished by a scar
let patch on the head.
An examination of many stomachs OF
these birds shows that from two thirds 20
three fourths of the food consists of iII
sects, chiefly noxious. Wood-boring beetles.
both Adults add larvae, are conspicuous.
and with them are associated many cater
pillars, mostly species that burrow into
trees Next In Importance are the ants
that live ia tlecaying timber. all OF which
are sought by woodpeckers and e3ten in
great number.
Many ants are particularly harmful IT,
timber, for If they find a small spot of dc
cay III the vacant burrow OF some wood
horer tsey enlarge the hole, and as their
colony is always on the increase, con
tiaue to eat away the wood until the whole
trunk is honevcorubed. Moreover, these in
sects are not accessible to other birds
The woodpecker is the great conservator
of the forest. The preservation of timber
from hordes OF destructive insects is due
to these birds. One of the larger wood
peckers familiar to most people is the
flicker, which is gene rally distributed
throughout the United States from the
Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains.
IL is there replaced by the red-shaftcd
flicker, which extends westward tc the
Pacific. Tire two species are as nearly
identical I'm food habits as their environ
ment Will allow.
The red-headed woodpecker is well known
east OF the Rocky Mountains, but is ra ther
rare in New England. 1t prefers fence
posts and telegraph poles as a foraging
ground. Its diet consists largely of beetles
and wasps. though grasshoppers are taken
in considerable numbers.
Close observation has determined that
but one species of the woodpecker, the yell
low belly, lis q "sap-sucser.'

New York, Sept. 24.-Cornelius n. Bliss,
Secretary of the Interior, held consulta.
tion with Senator Thomas C. Platt yes.
terday forenoon at Mr.. Platt's office, No.
49 Broadway. The conference lasted for
half an hour. What its purport was il
known only 10 10th gentlemen. That IL
had been prearranged was indicated by the
fact that Secretary Bliss was instantly ush-
eredInto the private office of Senator Platt,
who was alone and evidently waiting for
him.
This visit is regarded as peculiarly sig-
nificant by those who watch the trend of
political affairs. For years prior TO, and
even up 10 his appointment as Secretary
of the Interior, Mr.. Bliss and Senator PIatt
were personal as wen as political enemies.
The friends of Secretary Bliss In the
Union League Club took up the quarrel, and
the club declined TO honor Senator Platt
with a banquet upon his election to the
United States Senate. He is the only Re-
publican United states Senator elected
from this State whom the club has not no
honored.
Therefore, the only question of paramount
political Importance at present, which
would justify MFR. Bliss visit, say those IA
milar with the relations between the men,
is the n,ayoralty of the Greater New York.
York.
Senator Platt has for months brought
every pressure To bear 10 get Secretary Bliss
to become the Republican Candidate. Sec
rotary Bliss has persistently declined to en-
tertain the suggestion. The leaders of the
local Republican organization have Sec
onded Senator Platts efforts because they
believe that the nomination Of Secretary
Bliss would unite both factions of the party.
He has been the oentra Figure around whom
the Brookfield and Milholland factions gath
cred.
When questioned on the sub ject, Secretary
Bliss said:
That is a matter on which I must not
talk. I decline positively TO discuss it. Ny
visit 10 Senator Platt was ON matters per-
tainin 10 Washington. | am Interested, Of
course, in the question as to who should lie
mayor OF the Greater New York, but my in
terest is only that of a citizen who Is deeply
concerned about the welfare OF the city. I
have nothing 20 do with the question of
nominating anyone. i VIII have nothing 10
do with it,
Are there not conditions under which
you might consider il your duty to ac-
cept a nomination. Secretary Bliss was
asked.
II shall not answer that question: he
replied, ''as / do not propose TO discuss
the subject. Politics had nothing to do
with my visit. Having transacted my
private business, 1 am going TO take ad-
vantage OF the remaining days of my vaCa-
tioR to visit my family, at Oceanic. I
shall remain there probably until Monday,
when I viii go direct to Washington"
Beyond visiting Senator Piatt, Secretary
Bliss devoted the day 10 business exclu-
sively. In the forenoon he attended a
directors meeting at the Fourth National
Bark, and then went 10 his office, at
No. liz Duane street, where he remained
until after 3 O'Clock, when lie left for
Oceanic, n. j., TO join his family.
