such an intensely smoky day all over
New England will doubtless take its
place along with the mysterious dark
day of May 1880, which has never yet
been satisfactorily explained, and the
yellow day of September 1881 which
was caused by the great forest fires of
the West.

1t is a Maine boy, Roy l.. Marston of
Skowhegan, graduate of BoWdoin 80,
and now of the faculty of the Yale
Forestry school, who is in charge of
the forestry end of the $5,000,000 inn
prOvements which the government is
entering upon at West Point The i'm
portance of this work is indicated by
the statement of James w. Pinchot
that it is the greatest piece of work
which the Bureau of Forestry has ever
done. A host of friends in Maine are
glad to hear of the remarkable sue
cesses Mr.. Marston has achieved in his
profession, and though he has already
won a place in it's front rank it is evil
dent that still higher hOnors await him.
In addition to directing the work at
West Point, he is to be in charge of the
Yale Summer School of Forestry which
will be held at Milford, Pike county,
Pennsylvania, and which will open
July /. and continue seven weeks. This
school is co-educational, II young Ia
tate of Mr.. Pinchot. The students will
live in tents and the term promises to
be pleasant as well as profitable. The
school is co-educatiOnal, II young la
dies attending, last year. A third task
which Mr.. Marston has on his hands,
this summer, is the supervision of the
United States Bureau of Forestry's
work in Maine which will consist of an
investigation of poplar and white
birch. There will be two parties, COM
manded respectively by Blaine S.
Viles of Skowhegan and John Apple
ton of Bangor, both BoWdoin gradu-
atcS who are now at the Yale Forestry
school. When the work of the sum-
MGR school at Milford, Pennsylvania, is
over. August 20, Mr.. Marston will
come to Maine and take personal
charge of this work. Besides his field
work ana teaching, Mr.. Marston is do
ing considerable writing on forestry
subjects, and has now in preparation a
monograph on the forests of Hartford
county. Maryland, which will be pub
lisbed in the arly fall. 1t is understood
that number of Maine people will at
tend the summer school in PcnnSyl-
vania.

has two well defined bodies, with two
heads, two wings only. one Oh the
outer side of each body, two legs and
one tail. 1t is evidently magnolia
warbler, being yellow breasted, dark
tail and back, with large white spots
on tail and wings, but not numerous.
Probably not being able to fly, and
grown to goodly size, the parent bird
threw it from the nest, and in the high
wind it was blown against the build
ing and killed, it being warm when
found.

GERMANY AFTER
COALING STATION
Washington Hears That Kaiser Seeks
to Obtain One in Danish West
Indies.
Rumor Is Not Verified, but Is Re-
garded as Important If
Authentic.
Monroe Doctrine, Tho It's Applica-
tion Would Be Dubious, Might
Be Invoked.

washington, Dec. 31.-Information
has reached Washington to the effect
that Germany Is making a quiet but
determined effort to obtain possession
of coaling station at ST. Thomas,
one of the Danish West Indian islands.
The news comes in a manner that
requires further confirmation before
official notice can be taken Of it, and
as such rumors have not been infre-
quent in recent years, and have gen.
orally proved to be groundless, the
state department Is disposed to move
with the greatest circumspection in
the matter.
AS the United States government
has offered a fair price for the Danish
West India islands, a price which the
executive branch Of the Danish gov
ernment consented to accept by the
signature of a treaty, even tho the
latter was rejected by the Danish rigs
dag, it is the feeling here that the
matter has progressed too far to al
low any third party to come between
the United States and Denmark in
this transaction.
In other words, Denmark is ex-
pected to sell the islands to the
United States or to retain them.
