New Guinea Coc<atoos Crack Hardest
 Nuts with Ease.

New Guinea CoclSatoos Crack Hardest
 Nuts with Ease.
 A few New Guinea coekatoos, a rare species in this latitude, have been brought to Chicago recently and have created much interest by their odd ap- pearance and actions They are as large as pheasants and jet black in color. The bird is remarkable for it's immensely strong bill and the clever manner in which it is used. The bill is as hard as steel and the upper part has a deep notch in it. The fayerite food of this cockatoo is the kernel of the canary nut, but there is wonderful ingenuity required to get at it, for the nut is something like a brazil nut, but it is ten times as hard. In fact. it requires the blow of a heavy hammer to crack it. It is quite smooth and somewhat triangular in shape. The cockatoo might throw the nut down, but it would not break, or it might hold it in its claws like the parrots usually do with their food, and at tempt to crush it, but the smoothness of the nut would cause it to fly out of the beak. Nature appears to have given the possessor of the wonderful bill some intelligence to direct it's powers, for the cockatoo takes one of the nuts edgewise in it's bill and by a carving motion of it's sharp lower beak makes small notch on it. This done, the bird takes hold of the nut with it's claws and, biting off piece of leaf retains it in the deep notch of the upper part of the bill. Then the nut is seized between the upper and lower parts of the bill and is prevented from slipping by the peculiar texture of the leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off a tiny piece of the shell of the nut. The bird then seizes the nut in it's claws and pokes the long, sharp point of it's bill into the hole and picks out the kernel bit by bit. The cockatoo has very long tongue, which collects each morsel as it is broken off by the bill. This is a wonderful process, for it is quite clear that without the leaf nothing could be done, and it proves how certain structures in birds are made to destroy certain parts of plants.

JAPANESE BUYING GOODS HERE
Are Building Up Home Industries by
 the Aid of Chicago Machinery.

aLS lp hOhie Dy
 the Aid of Chicago Machinery.
 Chicago is building up by no means insignificant trade with Japan. The Yankees of the Orient are quick to | discern whatever is of utility to them in the mechanic arts, and as conse- quence they are supplying themselves with machinery for the development of their industries direct from the facto- ries on the shores of Lake Michigan. In the history of the entire world no other nation has experienced such a remarkable growth in it's commerce with Japan as has the United States. Japanese official figures give the inn 1 portatioRs from the United States in 1893 at 6090, ,4oS yen and in 1898 at 40, l 001 097 yen. Meantime her importa- t:@9s frcsa England increased from 27,- 929,62S yen to 62,707,572 yen; those from Germany from 7.3fS, S,134 yen to 25,610 961 yen; those from France from 3,3o5. PIT yen to 6,979,9 1882 yen. and those from China from 17,095,975 yen to 30 l 523, ,860 yen, while the only part of the world which has experienced all in crease at all to be compared with that of the United States is the British East Indies, whose increase has heen from S,679,029 in 1893 to 40,764, PA yen in 1 1898 Japan's importations have grown enormously i'll the last five years. In l 1893 they amounted to S8, ,257, ,172 yen and in 1898 to 277, ,502, 166 yen. Mean
 time her exports have grown from S9, l 712.S64 yen in 1893 to 165, 753, ,752 yen in l 1898. Thus the exports have doubled and the imports have trebled in the pe riod under consideration. The disposi
 tion of Japan is to look to the United States for a constantly increasing pro- l portion of it's supplies. In 1893 the l United States furnished less than ' per cent of the imports into Japan and l in 1898 IA per cent, while England. the principal competitor in the markets Of the east, which in 1893 furnished g per cent Of Japan's importations, in 1898 furnished 22.6 per cent. Not only have the producers and exporters Of the United States developed in the last few years a disposition to push their sales in that country, but Japan herself is showing a disposition to make her purchases from the nearest markets those Of the United States-and has recently established steamship lines connecting with United States ports. Japan by reason Of recent events is the nearest neighbor to the United States, aside from those whose territory is ac tually ontiguous-Canada and Mexico l Her comparatively recent exchange of mainland territory to Russia for the line of islands stretching northwardly from her central group brings her ter ritory to within about 800 miles of that of the United States in the Aleu- tian chain of islands, while at the south her newly acquired isl I'd of Formosa lies within less than 200 miles of the Philippines. Thus not only are the United States and Japan neighhors territorially, but their insular posses 1 sions combined stretch along the en- tire Pacific coast of Asia from arctic 10 equatorial waters.-Chicago Chron- icle.

FL ECTRIC NIAGARA.
Great Falls to Be Transformed Into
 Flood of Fire.

Buffalo's big exposition--and if only one-half the promises of the manage ment are realized it will be in every respect big affair-will be the occa- sion of what will doubtless be a most brilliant and startling electrical illu- imitation. Niagara Falls will be trans formed into flood of fire The seeth- ing, roaring torrent will be ablaze with all the hues of the spectrum. The superlative natural grandeur of the scene will be so enhanced that the projectors of the strikingly novel en- terprise contend that it's success will make the exposition an event in his tory. The idea is to erect a series of tall towers on both the American. and Canadian sides of the river. On the top of these loftly spires huge electric searchlights will be placed, in such manner that they may be played on any part of the falls. The imagination may picture the dazzling effect that will be produced when a score of those powerful instruments of illumination are brought to bear upon the rushing waters as they tumble irresistibly over the rocky ledge into the depths be- meath. A constant change of colors will be used in the manipulation of the searchlights, so that now the falls will be like molten silver. again a flood of crimson, again as green as old ocean itself, and so on through the whole gamut of the painters palette
 The astonishing effect will be still fur ther heightened by the use of electric arc lights in the Cave of the Winds, which will give to the water as it falls in front of it weird, phosphorescent glow. The power for this record making illumination will be all within easy reach, as Niagara will itself be made to do all the necessary work
 This is expected to be largely a spec tacular arrangement, but scientists hope te discover something new about the effect of light on water, and make g. careful study of the chemistry of color This has been done to some extent with electric fountains. but Niagara will offer an entirely new field.

Whales Teeth as Coinage.

Whales teeth form the coinage of the Fiji islands. They are painted white and red, the red teeth being worth about twenty times as much as the white. The native carries his wealth round his neck. the red and white of his coinage forming bril- liant contrast to his black skin. A common and curious sight in the Fiji islands is a newly married wife pre- senting her husband with a dowry of whales teeth.

MAINE.s BIRCH TREES
constabIes Responsible for Their origin
 in That State.

in That State.
 Norway fMaine1 Correspondence Of the New York Times: Since the paper makers commenced to build big sul- phite mills in the Maine woods the price of spruce timber lands has doubled, and in some cases trebled Next to spruce, the timber in greatest demand is clean and thrifty white birch, which is sawed into bars and sent by the shipload to Scotland to be used for thread spools. Nea71v all the factories in the United States, and more than half of those in Great Brit ain, obtain their spool stock from Maine. According to A. A Burleigh of Houiton, Maine, who has spent the best part of his life in the woods as lumber operator, Maine's birch trees are due to the spiteful conduct of two employees of the Maine land office. Some French Canadians in 1920 squat ted on state land near the Penobscot river and defed all efforts to eject them. Finally, in 1925, two special constables were sent to the place from the land office i'll Augusta. with in suuctions to make clean job of eviet- ing the Frenchmen. The constables, after turning the families out, set fire. to the houses and haystacks. Twelve hours later the French village was smoking mass Of ashes, and the big gest forest fire ever known in the state was sweeping north, burning off more than fifty townships of old-growth pine and doing more than $10,000,000 damage to the state lands. Many square miles of hackmataek timber were also burned over, the fire eating ten feet into the black peat logs that had been accomplishing for years and years. 1t is a tradition that, after crossing Aroostook county. the fire leaped the St. John river and swept over New Brunswick, terminating In the destruction of Miramichi, where 12O persons perisbed. The survivors were forced to flee into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where they stood neck deep in the water for two days and a night, while deer, caribou, moose, bears and wolves swan around them, seeming to seek protection from their enemies. After the fire had burned itself out and the land had absorbed the alkali of the ashes, about 5000 000 acres came up to wild cherry and white birch saplings. For more than ten years the two species struggled for control of the territory. Then the black knot, which had been imported from Europe, killed off the wild cherry trees, giving the birches the right of way. About 50000,000 board feet of spool bars are now shipped out Of Maine every year and the supply is still large.
