CALLS SQUIRRELS a PEST.
Naturalist Asserts That the Animals
Destroy Eggs Of Harmless and
Useful Birds.

Josef Drummer, who has devoted the
later years OF his life 70 roaming the
woods OF Montana in his natnre-study
pursuits, makes n bitter attack on both
the red and gray squirrel in Country
Life in America. 1t is backed by his
half-century experience and frst-hand
observation both here and IN the great
forest tracts Of Germany.
Mr.. Drummer writes:
Il wish to take away for all time tho
character Of the squirrel. He is a thief
and murderer Admired by ignorant
city people and by journalists, he de-
votes his life to eating the eggs and kill
ing the young and harmless as well as
useful birds, which, If permitted to live
and increase, would protect the forests
from harmful insects. BY killing these
birds the squirrel takes rank as q forest
destroyer. Moreover, the red squirrel
IS not the only sinner In my opinion
the gray is almost, If not quite. as bad.
Il have killed many squirrels caught
in the act of eating eggs or young birds.
Any bird that selects a nesting place
which is also adapted to the use OF
squirrels IS almost certain to be elected
When forest has been destroyed by
fires, lumbermen or insects 1t is almost
impossible for natural reforesting to
take place if squirrels are abundant in
an adjoining tract, because they eat the
seeds. Fifty seeds head each day would
be low estimate. Yet this would make
1920 year.
"And seeds are not the only thing. In
winter the ground is often strewn with
twigs which have been stripped of bugs
by squirrels. The trees attacked are
generally situated at the border Of a
dense forest and would, il left alons,
yield the greatest seed crop. A single
squirrel thus destroyed in one day thou
sands of seeds In the germ. In Mon
tana l have seen the grays rob birds
nests"

found a sixth. his suspicious Of its ex-
istence first having been excited by
scrutiny OF photographs Of the sky Gov
ering the vicinity Of the giant planet A
comparison Of pictures taken on dif-
ferent nights showed that the object
which had arrested his attention was
moving. and also that its path had Jupi-
ter for its center.
Half a dozen moons have Tow been
discovered in this country, the tiny pair
which circulate about Mars having been
observed BY Asaph Hall in 1877 at the
oaval observatory in Washington, and
two Of the nine companions Of Saturn
having been found by Harvard astrono-
mers. Bond reported one in ISIS and
William II. Pickering another about siz
