left about as suddenly as they came.
A neighbor had field near a swamp
which was in the same condition and
a large flock of black birds spent just
two days in it and the worms were
thoroughly cleaned up.
Now the rice planters would be
glad to have all the birds killed while
this farmer wants them to live. If
the army worm should take to the
rice fields early in the season the
owner would like to have few days
visits from the black birds. What
appears to be one mans enemy is
another mans friend. We believe it
would be best to protect the birds. 1t
is astonishing to see the quantity
and number of insects devoured by
birds When a boy we were working
in new ground where a large num-
Der of stumps were rotten enough to
be filled with worms that looked very
much like grub worms. A blue bird
built a nest in hole of the stump.
We noticed that she picked up all
the worms brought to the surface.
Boy like, we decided to help her
some; so we went to work and dug
around the stump and soon had
helf a pint of the grubs. 1t was fun
to see how she fed her little ones.
AS our work lasted about two weeks,
We got her worms every day except
ing Sunday, and the little birds grew
about twice as fast as any others we
have ever noticed We stayed away
a few days and when we went back
the nest was destered; the birds had
wings and had flown away.
1t had always puzzled us to know
bird could tell which
one should have the worm. So we
got just as close to the nest as we
could without frightening the birds
away. Young birds do not change
their place in the nest much, so it
was easy to tell which one the old
one fed. The birdie that has waited
the longest will open his mouth the
widest. Next time this little one will
just open it a little, while his little
brother looked like he wanted to
turn his mouth inside out. We should
study the nature of birds more, and
thus be able to know how to treat
our neighbors in feathers.

UPBEAVAL OF WATER
Metropolis Men Witness a Remark
able Sight.
The River Rose for 25 Feet in on,
Place and Nearly Swsmped Them.

Metropolis, Ill, Sept 29-Eldridge
Edwards and Sam Randolph. OF East
Metropolis had an experience Thurs.
day night at midnight
Thursday evening about 6 O'Clock
they left Silver Cliff upon the Cum
berland river, where they had been
looking after timber. They were in
a skiff and were coming to Metropolis
About midnight they reached Fort
MAssao and being very tired and worn
out were resting on their oars and
floating along quietly. The sky was
clear and the river was perfectly
calm.
When they were almost directly in
front Of the Bending works, just DO.
low the Fort Massao point there was a
sudden mufiied sound like an explo-
sion and within 80 feet Of their skiff a
large volume Of water was thrown vi.
olently upward as though q marine
mine had been fired just below. The
water went mp something like 25 feet
and fell back, deluging them and al
most swapping the skin.
There is all sorts OF speculation as
to the cause OF the waters upheav.
al Some say meteor may have
struck in the water but this would
probably have been seen by the men
in the skiff. Others are Of the opin-
ion that the upheaval was caused by
natural gas in the earth below the riv-
err bed, while many believe that some
fishermen fired = charge Of dynamite
below the surface Of the water in or.
der to kill fish.
