tel.igence of Birds Were the Most
Interesting Points in the Talk

The third week at the University
of Montana Biological station at Big
for on Flathead lake, began with an
increase to the party.
On Monday, July 27, the party was
increased by the arrival Of Prof and
Mrs. ]. H. Hamilton, Mrs. M. J. Elrod
and Miss Mary Elrod, of Missoula,
and Miss Winnie Miles, of Corydon,
Iowa Miss Nellie Manning of Butte
went home Wednesday.
During the week three lectures
were given, besides the general sug-
gestions on mountain climbing, sig
nails, necessary equipment, etc, given
the people on Thursday evening.
On Monday evening the director,
Prof. NJ. J. Elrod, gave lecture in
the laboratory, the fifth of the sea-
son, ca the subject Of aquatic in
sects."
The study of aquatic insects is
really the study of adaptation, since
the insects now living part of the
time in water formerly lived in air,
and have taken to the water because
it offers special inducements for
them, such as abundance of food,
protection, and ease of locomotion
from place to place.
The water has been invaded by di-
vers insects in very many cases.
They have gone from terrestrial to
aquatic at least hundred times in
dependtantly. On account of the mode
of breathing, character of wings,
sizes and shapes of caterpillars,
variety of food, and the burrowing
habits of insects it is possible to east
ly change from one habitat to an
other.
Dominan. insects are those which
survive by driving out rivals. A
group of insects numerically strong
includes large number of species.
Prosperous species hold their ground
in competition with others. What
qualities confer dominance is diff
cult TO determine.
In almost any locality almost all
steps OF adaptation may be noted
First is the habit Of burrowing for
food; then the selection Of mois,

or muddy waite, coming to the sur

face occasionally for air, and finally
complete submergence during the
larval stage.
The lecture on Wednesday even
ing was on the topic, adaptation in
Bird Life" by Prof. P. M. Silloway.
The question of protective resem-
blance was taken UP by the speaker.
This is one of the most important
features of bird life. Every being
has it's struggle and must fight for
its existence. Protective resemblance
may be aggre ssive. On Swan lake
is a grebe known as Holdoells grebe
1t is one of the best examples of pro-
tective resemblance. The nest is
very difficult to discover, and the
eggs may be covered so as to be In
visible. The eggs of the loon very
closely resemble the rocks on which
they are laid. The gulls and terms
likewise have great protection for
their eggs. These are laid on drift
and the blotches resemble the patch
es of sunlight and the ends of weeds.
But if one knows how to search and
can recognize the eggs he is sur
nrised at the clearness with which
they may be seen.
Wilson's snipe or the jack-snipe is
very difficult to see. Even when one
sees it alight he can scarcely see it,
and it may arise from a spot entirely
differer,t from where it was expected.
The colors of the pheasant harmon
ize very closely with its surround
ings. 1t can scarcely be seen on the
ground, and when in a tree is almost
invisible. The lit.le fellows do not
hide but squat on the ground. Their
varied and mottled colors afford
great protection to the young bird.
The same thing is true of the young
of the sand-piper, as shown to the
students of the station during the
late trip down the lake.
We notice protective resemblance
in sub-species of birds. The west
ern birds have a different tint or
color as compared with eastern
forms. Birds in the arid regions are
lighter in color than those of more
humid regions. An example of the
different races of horned larks caused
by differences in different sections of
country. Also the nest of the lark is
very difficult to see.
Aggressive resemblance in hawks
and owls is quite we'll recognized.
They do not have bright colors, but
have more sombre hues. In flight
the eagle very. much resembles vul-
ture, which is to its advantage.
The night-hawk and whip-poor.
will are seldom seen until they arise
near ones feet, and the eggs on a
bare rock may be covered by the
mother-bird and still all be invisible,
since they blend with the colors OF
| the rock.

a mass of material so that it looks

almost invisible.
The nest of the bObolink was re-

through its resemblance to surround

Quietly and without ostentation, Judge
James d. Waters and Judge-elect George

flee on Tuesday afternoon, and, in the
presence of few members of the bar and
Others who had gathered in animpromptu

cult for the next fifteen years The oath
of Office was administered by Chief Clerk
Louis Dashiell, and after the simple cere-
mony was over his predecessor extended
a warm hand of congratulation to the
worthy successor. 1t was not the inten-

show whatever of his induction into this
responsible office, but the few who were
present realized the solemnity of the occa-
sion, and stood with barred heads during
the solemn proceedings.
Judge VanBibber went to Towson on

associates, Judges Fowler and Burke, in
regard to number of matters regulating
the routine of the courts of this and Bal
