CLAREMONT. Nov. 1s.-Regular
Correspondence The Science club held
its regular monthly meeting last even
ing. Mr.. j. f. Illingsworth read a pa
per on his yearly trip to the San Ber-
nardino mountains for the past three
years. The first year the California
| woodpecker was very abundant and was
busily engaged peckinss holes in the bark
of the pine trees and placing acorns in
them. These We're so firmly imbedded
that il was hard to remove them. and
even the squirrels found it difficult to
get the acorns from the holes. The next
year the Pinon jay. Clarke's nutcracker
and Lewis woodpecker We're common
and drove the California Woodpecker
away. The Lewis woodptcker put acornS
into the old holes made by the California
woodpecker, but they We're put in loose
ly and not in the snug fashion of the
California woodpeCker. Mr. 1llinsWOrth
is convinced that the California wood
pecker eats the acorns and not simply
the grubs that may sometimes be in the
acorns, as has been sometimes claimed.
Mr.. Illingsworth exhibited all the spe-
cimens of birds taken. and also the
acorns in the pine bark.
Prof. G.. G. Hitchcock explained the
method of using cyanide of potassium
in securing gold free from the surround
ing rock. The method, though used most
in Africa, was an American discovery.
Prof. 4. j. Cook called attention to
the common opinion that beet sugar was
not equal to cane sugar for canpip G
fruit and making jellies. He also spoke
of the ill-odor in using some of the beet
sugar for canning, and thought that
that there was suspicious similarity be-
tween this odor and the intolerable
stencil from the waste water that runs
off from the factory. This odor passes
with the waste for miles distance from
the factory and must be a serious in
convenience to those living near the
place of it's deposit.
