PHILOSOPHY OF AN OLD SALT,
He Tells II Party of Boys Out Hunting
Why Some Birds Commit
Suicide.

While hunting for birds nests re-
Gently in clumps of virgin forest that
fringe the lake shore at Edgewater a
party of high school pupils discovered
dead woodpecker hanging head
downward from the limbless side of a
tall tree, relates the Chicago Chron-
icle. Its legs did not seem to attach to
anything, but on closer scrutiny a
particularly fne-spun, though very
strong, cobweb was found entangling
the tiny birds claws.
The youths had not concluded their
speculations as to "the how and the
whyness" of the birds sad end when
a sea-bronzed sailor of the type Of
Coleridge's ancient mariner" arose as
from mist out Of the lake and, APP
preaching the scene of the discovery,
gave curious explanation of the
puzzle the students were resolving in
their minds. What the sailor said
was about as follows:
ALAS and alack, am grieved to see
that the tropical custom of the So
called spider web suicides among
small birds of the South sea islands is
spreading to the feathery tribes Of the
northern ATTITUDES. That you, my
youthful friends, may understand my
meaning, it is only necessary to say
that the aborigines of many tropical
countries have pretty fable telling
how the male humming bird commits
suicide by entangling its toes in an
overhanging cobweb of the spider-in-
4 tested woods, whenever the female for
which an attachment has been
/ formed is mysteriously missing from
]! its haunts or has died or been trapped
for the millinery shops of the highly
! civilized nations"

DIR. Thurston had met Sturgis' steady
gaze and had understood that, for some
reason or other, the reporter did not
wish him to relate their adventure of
the afternoon.
Only one person appeared to notice
the abrupt termination of his story.
This was Murdoch, who had looked up
at the speaker with mild curiosity, and
who had also intercepted the reporters

served DR.. Thurston narrowly for n
full minute, appeared to enjoy his
clumsy effort To cover his retreat, and
