him and grabbing the enthusiast S
trousers hauled him down.

A wild frenzy of cheers followed the
act of a Nebraska delegate who seized
the Nebraska state sign and waved it
high in the air. Delegates from Ken
lucky, North Dakota. Iowa. Missouri
and Montana took the cue and catching
up, their state signs fastened with them
to the Nebraska delegation where they
waved them in circle around the Ne
braska sign.
The Parker men at once sought to
offset the Bryan demonstration by
cheers on their side. The men of the
South came to the front in their eff
forts and the Georgia delegation, who
carry blue silk banner inscribed
Georgia Parker Delegation every
time they march into the hall, at once
waved it high and started toward the
platform. An enthusiastic delegat e
from South Carolina caught the sign of
his state from its staff, tore up the
strips, and after brandishing the red
and white disk wildly, shok it at the
Bryan and Hearst men and then placed
it fiat against the blue banner as
though he was mailing the flag of his
country 10 Il masthead.
The Parker men came up swiftly now,
ana before the South Carolina man had
lowered his hand the men from Arkan-
sas, Alabama and PENNSYLVANIA were
turning over chairs, and pushing
through the aisles on their way to his
SIDE. After Pennsylvania came Missis-
sippl, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana,
louisiana, Texas, Connecticut and
Virginia. The demonstration had re-
solved itself into n Parker outbreak
more than Il testimonial to Bryan, and
it so remained to the finish, which was
Is minutes after Mr.. Bryan entered the
hail.
The Parker men claimed that they
had information before entering the
hall that the Bryan demonstration had
been arranged between the Hearst men
and Tammany. and they were pre-
praed to meet it by n Parker counter
outburst of their own. AS the noise
began to subside Chairman Williams
secured huge megaphone and en-
deavored to announce that the recess
bad ended and it was time for the con-
ventiOn to come to order.
There was still so much confusion, as
| the huge gathering was trying to COM
| pose itself, that the chairman's voice,
! even through megaphone, was hard
| ly audible. 1t was finally ascertained
| that the committee on credentials was
| ready to report.

AS Mr.. Bryan concluded he was
greeted by an outburst of cheers. He
mad occupied 20 minutes and asked to
be given 10 minutes to conclude after
the other side had been heard. The
cheering THAT followed his conclusion
lasted several minutes and the audi
ence showed n disposition to become
unruly. but Mr.. Williams threat to
have the unruly ones elected had the
desired effect.

Der of the credentials committed was
then recognized in opposition to the mi
nority report. Mr.. Menzies was bitter
at the outset. When he criticised Mr..
Bryan for his interference in Illinois af-
fairs. there were boots, Kisses and APP
plause intermingled.
Mr.. Menzies was apparently some
what nettled by the Interruptions and
disorder, which We're rather marked in
contrast by the close attention which
mad been given Mr.. Bryan.
He shouted out that he would be
heard and the audience would have TO

Mr.. Menzies concluded amid mingled
applause and cries of protest. He had
spoken just quarter of an hour.

They Are Not Injured by the Lowest
of Low Temperatures.
ST. NiChOlaS.

The severest cold has no terrors for in

ments that insects may be artifcially

low temperatures, without killing or even
lnJurlng them. Eggs, larvae, the pupae.
the stages in which most insects pass the
winter, are perfectly immune to cold.
1t Is a common idea that cocoons of in
sects serve as a protection against cold, but
this Is entirely erroneous They, like the
summer webs of webworms, are a protec-
uon against birds and insect parasites, but
not AGAINST cold. The cocOons of summer
broods are as stout and thick as those of
the generations that pass the winter. Moths.

@7HEN, a short time ago, the work
WI of saving the starving birds was
begun by distributing food in the
IEIf[y1l gardens fields and woods. many
- people were very sceptical as TO
results. | heard honest doubts expressed
concerning the probability of the wild birds
approaching very close to food which lay
in the fields. on the bare spaces cleared
with the snow shovels. 1t was suggested
that these spaces would look so unnatural
that most birds would be suspicious and
would keep away on general principles. The
results have shown that in future no one
need allow such doubts to deter them from
handling a snow shovel in this good cause;
whatever suspicious the birds may have
had. they evidently laid them aside very
promptly. and took care that whatever
other evils might befall, death by starva-
ton should be avoided.
In my own town, Stoneham, Mass, forty
men and boys, mostly students of the High
School, in one morning established about
fifty feeding stations for the birds, over
an area of about ten square miles, and in
many cases there were immediate results
The leader of one squad reported that at
one point, even as the garin was being
scattered on the uncovered ground. flock
of twenty quail approached within six feet
of the relief party, and moved away only
because a newspaper representative who
was present tried to get too close a snap
shot of them This flock Of quail returned
to the spot the next day, and with them

Tested, it is not to be doubted that they will
visit this feeding station often they
are in need of food.
Personally. l was present at the establish
ment Of eight feeding stations. and when l
inspected these the next day | found that
every one of them had been visited by
birds. Judging by the footprints In and
about the cleared spaces, two had been
patronized by crows only, but small birds
were feeding or had been feeding at all the
others. At one place two bluejays were
enjoying themselves. hopping about and
filling their threats and bills with cracked
corn, afterwards flying of with their car
