Tame Ocean Birds.

The tameness of some of the ocean
birds at Santa Catalina, CAL, is re-
markable as well as interesting. Ev-
cry day a fisherman in his Venetian
boat with lateen sails brings in his fish
and cleans them on the beach, and this
is an open invitation for the gulls,
which approach within a few feet of
the fisherman and fight for the rejec-
tamenta Of the catch. Beautiful birds
they are, with harsh and discordant
tones. At night they roost on the
wharf and boats and are extremely
tame-in fact, so tame are some Of the
diving birds here that they at times
interfere with the fisherman, this be-
ing especially true Of the looms. They
float gracefully upon the water, occa-
sionally thrusting a long. snakelike
head beneath it to note the location of
the food supply, then disappear, to be
seer again darting here and there,
now rushing into a school Of sardines,
swapping up the small fry OF turning
from it to course along the sandy bot
tom, 80 feet or SO below.

Rape Plant. a. Weed killers.

Aside from it's value as a forage rape
Is an excellent crop to grow on fields
that are foul with weeds. The late
date at which the seed may be sown
allows the weeds to get well started
before the final preparation Of the soil
begins, they are further kept in check
by the cultivation required for the crop
during it's early growth, and later the
rape plants shade the ground SO COM
pletely as to keep the weeds down.
An excellent treatment for a foul field
is to plow thoroughly in late summer
or early autumn and seed to rye or
some other forage crop to be pastured
off during the fall, winter Or early
spring. When the crop has been pas
tured sufficiently and before the weeds
have produced seed, plow again, plant
rape in drills and give thorough Guilt
walton. There are few weeds that will
survive such treatment, and the land
will have given profitable returns in
forage in. the meantime. The rape is
usually ready for use in about eight or
ten weeks from the date of seeding

Reli.hed the Puni.hment.

An old Scotsman, Andrew Leslie by
name. always rode on a donkey to his
work and tethered him wkile he la
bored on the road or wherever he might
be. 1t was suggested to him by a
neighboring landowner that he vas
suspected Of putting the animal to feed
in the fields at other peoples expense.
"Eh; laird. l could never be tempted
to do that. for my cuddy Wilma eat
onything but nettles and thistles."
On a subsequent occasion, however,
the laird, while riding along the road,
saw Andrew at work, his faithful beast
up to the knees In one of the laird's
clover fields feeding luxuriously.
Hello, Andrew" exclaimed the
laird. II thought your cuddy would
eat nothing but nettles and thistles."
AYE, aye" was the response, ''but
the brute misbehaved the day. He
nearly kicked me over his head; so I
put him in there just to punish him."

The young lineman twirled his hat in

spoke in a voice that seemed to have a
tendency to get away from him.
"Millie, the fact is I-I-there's some

her AVA just as the fame began to
lick UP her light drapery.
"Oh, Una, Una, l have saved your he
cried, frantically kissing her pale lips.
Look upon me, Una, once more-only

"Silence!' said a rough looking man
who had just come upon the scene, at
the same time firmly grasping the only

Easily as one could shake off the

shake off the grasp Of the officer.

". Il took the money-stole it, If you
willard l will go with you soon! But
not now. Stand off, Or I'll fling you off

He kneeled by the side Of the uncon-
scious Una and in the most imploring
accents entreated her to look upon him
"just. once MORE" His prayer was an
swered. The beautiful eyes opened,
and a smile Of recognition played
about her lips.
With a cry Of JOY the strange man
arose to his feet.
'There, sir, constable, ] am ready.

money that I might see her, and now
I care not what comes next. Come,

Una had now recovered, and as the
officer and the prisoner passed Off the
stage she whispered to me, Follow
them, and release that man at any
cost"
I FASTENED to do her bidding. A purse
of gold opened the officers heart and
hand, and the man was free.
"Tell Una I thank her." said he,
sand give her my best wishes for her
happiness and my farewell"
That was the last of the strange,

ever passed Una's lips save when she
thanked me for procuring his release.

phia discussing Russia's "moves,n =

"The next step is, seize COrea,
but here Japan's interests are so
vital that the Japanese will undoub-
tedly fight before allowing Russia to
absorb the COreans. Corea and
China are not only the natural fields
for Japan's manufactures and other
products, but the storehouses from
which she draws her supplies. ShO-
uld Russia seize or become the con-
trolling Power in COrea, Japan
would be menaced in a military
sense, and her commercial activity
would be confined within her narrOw
home territory. Japan's pugnacity
is due, then, to her belief that shes
must fight Russia in order to pre-.
serve her prosperity and her very
existence
