SMART WOODPECKERS.
They Drop Bad-SmelIing Berries Int
Hollow Trees to Drive
Grubs Out.

Prof. Eastman j. Clarke, with party
of students from Connecticut, has Just
returned from long trip after natural
history specimens in the Maine woods.
Some weeks ago, while on the head
waters of the Allagash, he says he found
family of downy wOodpeckers which
seemed to be endowed with more intel
igence than falls TO the lot of the av-
erage bird. Woodpeckers feed upon
worms that burrow into trees. AS an
active borer makes a gallery three or
four feet long in a single season, the
woodpecker is often obliged to make
many punctures in order to get at his
prey. The family of birds which came
under Prof. Clarke's eye has adopted
labor-saving device which has proved of
great service. The rankest plant that
grows in the Maine woods is the India
poke, the berries of which are charged
with an alkaline juice that is very Of
fensive to all animal life. According to
Prof. Clarke, the Allagash woodpeckers,
having opened up gallery made by
borer, drop pokeberries in the orifice.
The berries give out such an odor that
the grubs are forced to come outside
for fresh air, and the woodpecker does
the rest.
