the state, from time mmesnorial had been
used as breeding resorts for thousands of
wild ducks and other water fowl and that
the same were being killed during the
breeding season, not only by hunters, but
by collectors.
The assistance .of the commissioner was
asked to help protect the breeding colonies.
The records Of the gsfeTal land office, as
in the other asses noted. showed that title
to these islands had not passed from the
United States. A special examiner Of sur
veys near Stump lake was instructed to
examine the islands. report upoa their
character and survey them This was done
last autumn. but the returns of the
veyor were not received until after Feb
ruary |, 1905. The matter was laid before
the President in the usual way. with the re-
suit that March g. 1905. an executive order
was issued creating the Stump lake reser-
walton.
The creation of these bird reservations
marks an advanced step in the national
movement for bird preservation. The mil
linery manufacturers, the egg collectors
and the cold storage agents will demur, but
in this country purely selfish interest must
give way for the public good when the pub

Owing to the tremendous disposal of

and owing. also, to the fact that breeding
colonies of sufficient magnitude to warrant
the establishment of bird reservations are
only found in widely separated localities,

OF the reserved tracts Is not insignifc ant
when the annual Increase In the number
OF birds thus protected is considered. Often
the annual product OF a single colony or
rookery occupying a few acres or less of
ground amounts to many thousands of
birds. These will restock the depopulated
districts and not only greatly aid in per-
petuating the species, but also encourage
the enforcement of the state game and
other protective bird laws for there will
be birds to protect.

for that reason we are using those woods.

partment Said he:
I'VE have already repaired several hum
dred houses. We have thoroughly reno
waited the canal administration building and
that occupied by Chief Engineer Wallace,
and have put the hospitals here at Colon in
sanitary condition. We are building large
sanitarium on the Island of Taboga. to be
used as a. conyaleScent hospital and we
will soon be constructing large additions to
the hospital at Ancon. The Taboga build
ings are about completed. They contain
chambers, dining rooms, amusement rooms,
kitchens and bath houses. They stand on a
high bluff, surrounded by grove OF CO.
coanut palms and overlooking the sea. The
island has pure water, 1t affords excellent
surf bathing and 1t will be valuable for
our people who getting well or who
have to lie off for rest.
I'VE have repaired most Of the houses at
Christobal, Uncle Sans beautiful annex to
the city of Colon, and a large force of
workmen are now living there. l should
say We have repaired 200 at that place alone.
AT Culebra, where the most Of the canal
work Is now going on. we are putting up
a bachelor quarters more than 200 feet
long, which will accommodate eighty-five
men. Each man will have a room to him
self. and there will also be large dining
rooms reading rooms and a social hall
This building will be three stories In height
with yerandas running around it. There
will be double lattice doors instead Of win
dows opening upon the porches. and on the
first story the inside walls will be rolling
partitions, which will enable the whole to
be thrown into one room for lectures and
social purposes.
Homes for Culebra.
I'VE are also building quarters for mar

week. We have twenty-five portable houses

ctaily the case with the foundations, which
have often cost more than the structures
above them. In the laborers' camp at Cue

When 1t comes to the matter of dress
the individual taste must be given a fair
chance. If all gowns were of the same ma
teriaI cut the same way and made after
the same pattern, this world would lose
most of it's charm and become as monoto-
nOus-iooking and almost as dreary as the
Desert Of Sahara. If all men, following the
example of all women dressed alike. the
picture would become even worse. no mat
ter il all their coats fitted well and none of
their trousers bagged at the knees. So, as
is the rule with food. the taste of the in
div.iuIl must be the guide, frequently in
nueuced by the contents of the mans

This gives to all a reasonable amount of
liberty in the choice of coiors. though a
man who would go to the extreme in this
respect is apt to be Stunned by many of

doubt that. perhaps on this account, the
CraVat of a bright red hue has found very
few friends in this part of the world. and
those who persist in wearing such necktIes
