IN. Son. Of the Gro.se.


Certain birds when the period or
courtship comes round repair to partic-
ular trysting places and announce their
presence there by well known calls or
signals.
The ruffed grouse, as every one
knows, seeks an old log or other con-
yenient perch and drums with his
wings. hint to any lady grouse with
In hearing that "Barkis Is willin."
The performance Of the grouse is one
frequently heard, but comparatively
seldom seen, and for many years there
were numerous conflicting theories
concerning the means by which the
drumming was produced. Some said
that the sound was vocal, and others
declared that the grouse struck the log
with it's wings. Even today the pre-
else cause of the sound Is not known,
for, although the bird has been closely
watched, it's wing movements are so
rapid that it is next to impossible to
tell exactly what takes place. This
much, however. is known: During the
performance the grouse stands upon
the leg or other perch and strikes the
air in front Of his body somewhat after
the manner Of an elated barnyard cock.
The first few strokes are measured, but
they become faster and faster until the
Individual thumps are lost, as in the
rolling of a drum. Whether the sound
is due entirely to beating Of the air OF
whether it is increased by the striking
together of the wing tips is a question
yet to be settled.-Hartford Times.

Testing the schoolmaster.

In the town records Of the city Of
Boston there is curious passage
which records how a schoolmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner in which the visit of inspection
is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play. although
If he was really inefficient be may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d Of May,
1922. it Is set forth that:
Coll Pen Townsend. jeremiah Al

with the Select men. Vissitted the
wrighting School at the Southerly End

Whereupon it was voted that the

1t is true that nothing Is said of the
methods of spelling incurcated at the
"wrightins school," and it is also pos
sible that "A clerk rather than the COM

NOW BEYOND CONTROL.

Fire Has Been Raging in Wilkes

New York, June 4-The fire at the
Jersey colliery of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, which has been rag
ing for 10 days, is now beyond control.
There is no chance of putting it out
by the method now employed, of pour
ing water down the shaft. A confer
ence of officials has been held to de-
wise a better means of fighting the
fire. As result the fire probably
will be left to itself until shaft can
be sunk to reach the workings at a
point at the back of the fire and an
effort made to extinguish 1t in that
way.
