Throughout the year as a rule. What
causes this unusual habit of drinking
sea water? Another popularity of the
New Britain and New Ireland pigeon
is its fondness for the chilli pepper

year, when these berries are ripe, the
birds crops are full of them, and often
their flesh is so pungent and smells so
strongly Of the chilli as to be quite un
eatable."-Chambers' Journal.

THEY DRINK SEA WATER.
Cockatoos and Wild Pigeons Do NJ
Soorn to Mind It

Cockatoos and Wild Pigeons Do Not
Seem to Mind 1t.
.t'In 1881, while resident on Gazelle
peninsula, the northern portion of the
magnificent island of New Britain, in
the south Pacific, 1 had many oppor-
tunities of witnessing both cockatoos
and wild pigeons drinking salt water.
I was stationed at a place called Ka-
baira, the then 'farthest out trading
station on the whole island, and as I
had but little work to do / found
plenty Of time to study bird life in the
vicinity. Parrots of several varieties,
all of beautiful plumage, were plenti-
full, and great focks Of white cocka-
toos f%requented the rolling, grassy
downs which lay between my home
and the German head station in
Blanche bay, twenty miles distant,
while the heavy frost of the littoral
was the haunt Of thousands of pigeons.
| These pigeons, though not so large as
the Samoan or eastern Polynesian bird,
formed an agreeable change of diet for
us white traders, and by walking about
fifty yards from ones door half a
dozen or more could be shot in as
many minutes.
"My nearest neighbor was q German,
and one day when we were walking
along the beach toward his station I
noticed some hundreds Of pigeons fly
down from the forest, settle on the
margin of the water and drink with
apparent enjoyment. The harbor at
this spot being almost ~landlocked and
the water as smooth as glass and with
out the faintest ripple, the birds were
enabled to drink without wetting their
plumage. My neighbor, who had lived
many years in New Britain, told me
that this drinking of sea water was
common to both cockatoos and pigeons
alike, and that on son& occasions the
beaches would be lined with them, the
cockatoos not only drinking, but bath
ing, and apparently enjoying them
selves greatly. During the next six
months, especially when the weather
vas calm and rainy, 1 frequently no
ticed pigeons and cockatoos come to the
salt water to drink.
"At first l thought that as fresh
water in many places dubbed up
through the sand at low tide the birds
were not really drinking the sea water,

TRIBUTE TO LIEUT.. wooTTEN.
Late Colonel of twenty eighth Infantry Praises
Bearing and Record.

Maj. VIM. E. Birkhimer. late colonel
OF the Twenty eighth Infantry, U. S. ",
writing from San Francisco under date
of December 9th to the New York Sun,
pays the following tribute to the late
Lieutenant Bradley j. Wootten, of this
city:
News is brought US of the death in
Cuba of Second Lieutenant Bradley j.
Wootten, Seventh United States Cavalry,
and it is due to his character and SER
vices that a brief regular army career
should not thus be terminated without
appropriate notice from those who knew
him in the distant fields of the Philip
pine archipelago. and knew what that
character and those services were.
In November. 1899, the Twenty eighth
United States Volunteers landed in Lu-
ION. Immediately going to the front. The
subject of this notice was First Lieuten-
ant and Adiutant of the First battalion.
As colonel, but now for the first time
looking upon this physically splendid or
ganization, yet recalling Civil War volun-
teer experiences, the undersigned did not
at first expect much in the way of disci-
plinary ideas and practices from these
new officers Lieutenant Wootten, how
ever, Immediately attracted attention by
his soldierly bearing and cheerful per-
Torrance of every duty. He stood out
before his superiors the loyal subordi-
nate. the true commander. whose cor
rect notions of discipline were born in
him, pervading his whole nature and
whose example contributed powerfully to
the upbuilding and maintenance of the
regiments reputation in that trying
climate.
It was natural that such an officer
should be called upon in all exigencies
and while this is true it also is true that
he always acquitted himself with the
greatest credit His service was of the
hardest. Alas! TOO much was put upon
him. The Seventh Cavalry has been the
training school for gallant soldiers. But
in all that proud galaxy there never has
been soul superior in all military in
stincts to the youth in honor of whose
memory its officers today bear upon
their arms the badge of mourning.

Personal Points of View


lowed Lee who are unable to take care
of themselves, but to the credit of the
old boys in grey few of them have ac-
copied the proffered assistance.
THE ex-Confederate was no Hessian
mercenary. He fought for a principle
which he believed right, and when the
issue was decided adversely he accept
ed the result in good faith and without
any mitigation of honor. He has asked
for neither mercy nor charity from the
victor. He seeks not to make mer-
chandise of his valor. He conceals his
wounds, when he can, and does not eX-
pose them for the purpose of exciting
sympathy. He fought hard and lost,
but he is too good a sportsman to
"squeal'' He has fought hard since the
war along industrial lines and he
loves his country Her fate is
his fate and he is content
with what she can give him
and will not accept dole from those
who were his former enemies though
now his friends. The pride and sincerity
of the ex-Confederate were not assumed.
They were not Fictitious but natural
and parts of himself, parts that can not
be distracted or separated from him.
Those of his brethren who would have it
otherwise he will not be slow to remind
of their errors; those of his former enc

fraternity into >proffering him govern
ment aid he will sincerely thank, but he
must steadily decline to accept anything,
no matter how we'll meaning the motives
of the giver Politically the fates have
done their worst in the annihiliation of
his cherished ideal; materially he has
suffered and triumphed, and sentiment
tally his pride and honor have felt no
lessening and received no stain. With
him it is always too late to compromise
and never more so than now when the
shadows of the last great night are
gathering around him. For the few years
that remain he can get along as he has
been doing. His road has been long and
tolsome and he has been beset by storms
and tragedies, but the end is near and
peace certain. He will leave behind him
fame as soldier forttude as a civilian,
which will constitute rich heritage to

l wonder how many stop to think of
the close relation which current books
have to contemporary scientific and in
dustrial improvements and inventions.
Leaving out Jules Verne, H. G. Wells,
and a few others who have taken Time
by the forelock. there is a long list of
authors who, in following modern prog
ress closely have attained considerable
success. | venture to prophesy that in a
few years the realistic tendency will have
grown to such a degree that the biggest
successes in book scales will be along
these lines. keeping up with every
form of human activity" is the keynote
of success as expressed by one publisher.
What is more logical than that the public
will be interested not only in fact, but
also in fiction which deals with the mar
vels of the day. Romance is always the
same. and from the time songs were first
sung and stories told, human emotions
and the inner lives of men have not
changed. But only in recent years has it
been possible to add to the adventures
of mankind in what previously would
have been the unnatural. Wireless tele-
graph, flying machines, and now the pos
sibility of arrcsting death has opened up
wonderful field for the novelist. He
can write stories which may be true to
life and yet as highlhy fancifuI as fairy
tales.
