WONDERS OF FROST Ito SAVE THE BIRDS
SCIENTISTS NOT YET SOLVED
MYSTERIES OF TRAcINGs.
Beautiful Pictures Painted on Our
Window-Panes Worthy of Care
full Study-No Two
g Alike.

It is only when frost breaks our wa
ter pipes and commits other devasta-
ton on our property that we realize
the extent of its magic power over
which we have absolutely no control.
But when on frosty morning we see
a remarkable picture in fiaky white
ness deposited on our window panes
by this same power, it does not strike
us as being anything but commonplace
and something to be expected during
q sharp spell of frost. But have you
ever looked into one of these frost
pictures and examined it in all it's
minute detail? If SO, then you will
have noticed how beautiful is the work
of Jack Frost, for no two of the fern
like devices which appear on our win
dows are alike, and, although many
attempts have been made, no one has
succeeded in proving that on single
occasion Jack Frost reproduces the
same picture twice.
A frost picture is, of course. made up
of nyriads of minute crystals, and it
has been calculated that in a single

INVENTIVE INGENUITY.

A German chemist has succeeded In
liquefying gas. It costs more than coal
gas, but less than electric light.
An ingenious Swiss mechanic claims
to have invented an automatic baby
nurse. The apparatus is attached to a
cradle. II the baby cries, air waves
cause specially wires to oper-
ate photograph, which sings a lullaby,
while simultaneously clockwork is re-
leased and rocks the cradle. When the
crying ceases the wire fails to vibrate
and the cradle stops rocking.
Richard Strut, a son of Lord Ray
leigh, has invented a clock that will run
for 1000 years. The motive power is q
small piece of gold leaf, which Is electric
fed by means Of very small quantity
of radium salt. The gold leaf bends
away from the metal substance and keeps
moving under this influence until it
touches the side of the containing YES
sel. At the moment of contact it loses
its electrical charge and then springs
back and is again electrified, and the
process is repeated. 1t is thought that a
thoroughly-reliable clock could be made
with the use Of radium salt for 81, 600.

MILK RIVER VALLEY.
The interior Department is Making
Preparations for Irrigationg
This Famous Valley.

Montana is coming in for a big
share of the general prosperity of the
country, and it will only be few
short years when she will rank with
any of the Northwestern states in
agricultural greatness. The recent
act of the interior department of
the United States in setting aside
ST 100000 toward reclaiming three or
four hundred thousand acres in the
Milk River valley is but beginning
of a much vaster development of this
section as the needs grow apacc. Al
ready the agricultural worth of this
to-be-famous valley has been ade-
quately demonstrated in the results
which have followed the irrigation
works already established. 1t has
been successfully proven that all
kinds of agricultural products grow
in great abundance wherever irriga-
ton is used. The soil is naturally
rich and needs only moisture to make
it yield prolifically. The Great North
ern Railway furnishes adequate
transportation facilities, it's main line
practically cutting the valley in two.
The fact that the government has de-
cided to begin immediate operations
will prove a great incentive to the
people of that section who have al
ways believed in the future of their
country and will open to settlement
vast area of rich land to the home
seeker and investor.

WAYS IN WHICH ALL NAY
HELP IN WORK.
The Audubon Societies Represent .
Worthy Object in Which We
May All Help II Only
a Trife.

There is no more laudable object to
which we may lend our efforts thar
that of saving the birds. The Audubon
societies are doing a great and good
work in this direction, and III this We
may all help--but how?
will tell you OF some way:
If we are women, we may refrain
from wearing the plumage of birds in
our hats, and we may do and say what
we can to make this practice unpop-
ular. If We are men, we can refrain
from killing any feathered creature
without some good and urgent reason
for doing so, and we can stand firmly
for the protection of birds and their
nests and eggs. Whether we are wom-
en- OF men, we can teach children the
value of birds, and show them that.
looking at the subject even from .
selfish point Of view, there is more
knowledge and greater pleasure to be
gained from one living bird than from
score Of dead ones. We can teach
them. also, that the collection of birds
eggs by small boys is as useless as it
is cruel and wasteful, and we can help
them to cultivate an interest in their
wild neighbors which will not involve
the pain or the destruction OF the help
less. If we are teachers, we can sup
plement the work done by the par
ents. We can put ourselves in touch
with the leaders of the Audubon move
ment, and see that our pupils are Well
Illustrated leaflets published from time
to time by the national committee,
and obtain>for them opportunities to
attend illustrated lectures on birds.
We can also direct their attention to
good books on birds, to be found at
the nearest public library, and we can
arrange matters so that personal OBJ
servations on birds may form the top
les of essays. If there is a museum &C.
cessible. We may be able to take our
classes there occasionally, and now
and then we may be able to arrange
for walk in the country, for the pur-
pose of getting acquainted with the
living birds. Children are naturally
fond of animals as a rule. but it is
necessary to teach them that consid-
Grafton for an animal is more impor-
tant than the possession of it.
At this season, the boys, and the
girls, too, sometimes, may be taught
how to make simple bird houses for
the bluebirds, wrens, tree-swallows
and martins, and it will have good
effect on an entire community if these
houses are put up in the school
grounds, and in the gardens and yards
of the pupils themselves. Then, at the
beginning OF the winter, the older pu-
pills may be organized into a relief
corps, to feed the birds in the woods
and fields; and almost anyone may
enjoy the pleasure of having birds
about the house during the winter
months, liza little care is taken to keep

Philippine Population.

The total population of the archi-
pelago as returned from 342 indie
pendent islands is 7,635,426. OF this
number almost seven million are
more or less civilized. The wild
tribes form about per cent of the
entire population. The civilized
tribes are practically all adherents
of the Catholic church. The Moros
are Mohammedans, and the other
wild peoples have no recognized re-
ligious beliefs.
The total population, according to
the most reliable authorities, is a
little more than four times as great
as it was 100 years ago. During the
same period that of the United
States multiplied almost fifteen
times. The excess, of birth rate over
death rate in the Philippines has
been large, in spite of sudden and
great losses as u result of epidcmics
of various diseases.

ANOTHER RECORD IN
LAND-HUNTlNc.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

It was thought in 1909, when over
forty-five thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit Of the yearly emigration to the
wheat zone Of the Continent had been
reached. But when in 1904 about as
large a number of American citizens
signified their intention of becoming
settlers on Canadian lands, the gen.
eral public were prepared for the an
nouncement Of large numbers in 1905.
No surprise therefore will be caused
when 1t is made known that the pre-
dictions Of fully fifty thousand more in
1906 are warranted in the fact that
the Spring movement Canadaward is
greater than it has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago
st. Paul, Detroit, and other gateways.
have been crowded. Many have gone
to join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
have gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
have done can also be done byrthem.
This year much new territory has
been opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the Continent. This new
territory has attractions for those de-
string to homestead on the one hun
dred and sixty acres granted each set
tier by the Canadian Government.
Many also take advantage of the OPP
portunity to purchase lands at the low
figures at which they are now being
offered.
1t does not require much thought
to convince one that if Iowa, Illinois.
Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give good
living by producing ten to thirteen
Bushels Of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the
acre, the lands Of Western Canada at
seven to ten dollars an acre, produc-
ing from twenty to thirty bushels OF
q superior wheat to the acre, should
produce competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There arc millions Of acres OF
such land in Western Canada in addi-
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portion Of the biggest
and best ranges that ever invited the
cattle and horse producer of the North
American continent. What is particu-
larly evident in Western Canada Is
the fact that the wheat lands, adjoin-
ing the grazing lands, make farming
particularly agreeable and profitable.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, who are always willing to give
Information and advice to intending
settlers, say that the acreage put un-

Extensive Irrigation Projects will
Soon be Carried out in Western
North Dakota.

A new irrigation project which
promises much for the Northwest is
the Buford- Trenton Reclamation prof.
ect. The United States government
has set aside S55O,OO0 for this work
and the active operations will begin
inside of sixty days. When this work
is completed some $4,000 acres of
now arid land will be reclaimed and
the Western part of North Dakota
will be as attractive as the great
valley of the Red River and the pro-
ductive lands of the Mouse River
Loup. 1t is asserted that the pro-
posed dam and reservoir will hold
between 10000 and 25,OOO-acre feet
of water, and the proposed canals
will run north and south of the line
of the Great Northern Railway to
point about three miles east of Tren-
ton, North Dakota, from near Blu
ford, North Dakota, on the extreme
western border of North Dakota, This
is but the beginning of the extensive,
irrigation projects which have been
planned by the government and in
dividuals in Western Dakota and
Northeastern Montana, which, to-
gether with the Milk River Irrigation
project, will reclaim thousands of
acres for settlement for agricultural
purposes which have lain barren for
years. and offer an opportunity for
the homeless of the East to secure
homes of their own. The fact that
good agricultural government land is
becoming scarcer and scarcer makes
these irrigation projects of great in
terest to the homeseeker and in
weston.

of being molested.
Ii we have even very little money
to spare for. birds, we can do our part
for the cause by joining the nearest
branch of our state Audubon society,
or, if there is no branch near us, we
can talk the matter over with others
who are interested and arrange to
have a branch organization in our own
town or village. Then there are many
of us who, in addition to the small
amount necessary to pay our dues to
the state Audubon society, can afford
little more to help the great work
being done along the coast and else
where by the national committee,
which has recently been incorporated
under the name of the National Asso-
citation of Audubon Societies of Amer
lea. In spite of its good prospects,
this committee is at the present time
badly handicapped for want Of funds.
With the means at its disposal, it has
done much splendid work in legisia-
lures, and has effectively protected,
and is still protecting, many interest
ing and valuable colonies of sea birds,
which are being more or less rapidly
exterminated by egg and plume hunt
ers. But there are many more colonies
to protect, and new wardens will be
employed for this purpose if only the
necessary money is forthcoming to en-
able the committee to employ them.
Last of all, u we happen to be
wealthy, and we desire to bequeath a
part of our fortune to some very
worthy institution, where would it DO
more good than in the hands OF the
national committee of the Audubon
society, where it would be used to
protect American birds and animals
and their descendants, for the profit
of the American people forever?
