HIgglnsville Lesdet: j. P. B.rr!
OF Alma received a phone message
Thursday OF last week which stated
that a coat ans Ter;ng the desc ip'i"'
of the one wore by Louis Scholle when
he disappeared some time ago had
been fouod on q pila of drift one half
mile from rocky ford on Davis creek.
1t contained in one Of the pockets a
small testament bearing the lame L
e Scholl4 on the fly leaf. A party
went over Wednesday to secure the
coat and make a search for any
further trace of the young man, This
search was not made at the time Of the
disappearance Mr.. Berry relates
because the next day there came a
heavy rain and the Davis bottoms
were flooded. The team which LOUIS
Scholle drove at the time was found
near where the coal has bsen found
and the lines were tied in such .
manner that the team would have gone
home without any trouble. Th s
lncIines the minds of bis friends here
o the opinion that ne destroyed
himself. He could have been the
victim of foul play and the team could
have been started home by his
assailants. Time may solve the
mystery,

VALUE OF THE AUX.
Stuffed Specimen of Extinct Bird Com
ing to America
From the London Graphic.

From the London Graphic.
The authorities of an American museum
have just paid Mr.. Rowland Ward 400
guineas for the specimen of the great aux
or Alca impeunis. to give it the name by
which it is known in scientific circles The
great aux UNNECESSARILY increased the i'm
portance both of itself and its eggs when it
Joined the dodo in the realms OF the extinct
and its market value is ever on the up
ward grade. The stuffed specimen shows
that The great aux. garefowl. as it is
sometimes called. was fairly big bird,
perhaps the size of a Michaelmas goose
and it had an eXpanse of white bosom of a
spotlessness which would excite the envy
of d German waiter. 1t had a white splash
over each eye, but its head, its webbed
feet and its elegant-shaped back were al
most black. Some interesting particulars
of his life and habitat are to be found in
Lydekker's Royal Natural History" from
which we take the following passage: Con
fired to the North Atlantic, and ranging as
far north as Iceland on the one side and
Greenland on the other, the great aux was
a migratory species, which in winter wan
dered far south the Bay of Bscay
and the shores of Virginia
Both in Greenland and Norway ii appears
10 have been always rare; and its chief or
only breeding places were three rocky
Islands near Iceland, known the Care
fowl Skerries Geirfuglasker, and Funk
Island off the Newfoundland coast. By the
Il
these isletS, which, as being the most in
accessible, was the favorite breeding place,
the birds were driven to one nearer the
shore, where they were more easily ap-
preached; and in the course of the next
fourteen years the species became extinct
in Europe, the last pair having been killed
in the summer of 1914. The existence of
the garefowl on Funk Island was discov-
cred about 1854, when the birds were so
numerous as to be reckoned ii is said, by
thousands; but incessant persecution for
more than two centuries eventually brought
about its determination, which probably
took place almost contemporaneously with
its disappearance from Europe. On Funk
island it customary for the crews of
several vessels to spend the summer for the
sole purpose of killing garefowl for the sake
of their feathers. Although we have but
traditions of these expeditions. it is indis-
putable that store pens were erected into
which the birds We're driven like sheep,
that they We're slain by millions, and their
bodies were left to rot where they lay,
while for some purpose or other frequent
and long-continued fires were lighted on
the island. The records of this slaughter
are still extant in the numbers of garefowl
bones to be met with in the soil of Funk
Island such relics, tigether with a few
skins, and number of egg shells. being all
that remain to US of the finest of the auks.''

TRUMP A GOOD HORSE.
Women Pet the Mount of a Policeman
at Flatiron Corner.

From the New York Herald.
Trump horse with life saving record
is king of feminine hearts down at the
Flatiron building. His post is at Broad
way and 22d street, where he and his rider
are engaged in regulating traffic Scores
of women have made friends with the
horse, for they have heard the story of
his rescue, in 1903, of Miss Catherine NAL
10y, who was drowning in the surf off
Rockaway. With some he shakes hands
and with others he has bowling acqualnt-
ance, while those who have only recently
been introduced to him he salutes by scrap
ing the pavement with his forefeet. A
cube of loaf sugar is one of the best cards
to play with Trump, and he never TO: gets
those who honor him with saccharine Of
fering.

day to one who understands, when asked
for "reminiscences. There is not much to
say; whatever 1 did in the rescuing line
was due to horse sense. In the summer of

MIGRATION OF BIRDS
COLORED PICTURES EXHIBITED

In pursuance of the plan for cooperation
with the Audubon Society the Public Lii
brary has begun to display on a bulletin
board colorod pictures of birds to be seen
in this vicinity at this season as they are
migrating northWard. Prof. Wells w. Cook

migration Will furnish to the library from

birds as they arrive. The pictures of the
birds, together with lists of the less COM

this means ii is thought that visitors to

identifying the birds they see in their walks.
Prof. Cook has prepared the following in

dates of their expected arrivals:

years the biological survey Of the Depart

OUR ROCKY DIET.
High Percentage of Ground Rock in
Some Baking Powders.

From Golfers Weekly
All Americans have indigestion. Certain
baking powders are 80 per cent ground
rock. That is what we eat. Diseased beef

Even peas have copper coloring. Living on
poison cannot strengthen us as a nation
When we quite realize this, the Senate and
our state legislatures may be forced to act
1t is agreeable to get on in the world and
there is more profit in poisoned than in
genuine food. If the beef trust fulfilled the
laws of hygiene, perhaps it would be de-

Plentiful Food Supply.

THE plentiful food supply of the vicinity
induces several birds from the north to come
here for the winter season. The most COM
mon is the junco, so easily distinguished by
its black head and white outer tail feathers
Scarcely less common is the tree sparrow
while small party of white-throated SPAR
rows have spent the past winter near the
main building of the Agricultural Depart
ment
Most of our summer nesting species de-
sert US during the winter but sometimes
hardy individuals brave the Indictment
weather. as, for example, flock of about a
dozen purple grackles that have lived about
the agricultural grounds for the last three
months. Robins not infrequently remain in
winter as far north Washington, but
seem to have been absent the past season.
until about the first week in March.
Other migrant birds that have appeared
already this spring the red-wnged
blackbirds, fox sparrow, brown creeper and
phoebe. individuals of each of these species
sometimes remain in Washington during the
winter, and hence their appearance does not
absolutely indicate spring migration. The
first species to arrive in the spring that al
most never winters in the District is the
chipping sparrow or "chippy." Last spring
$500 the first was seen March 20; about
the same date in 1903; while the earliest it
has appeared is about March II. Next in
order come the Savanna sparrow March
90, fish hawk March 25). and the first of
April brings the white-bellied and the barn
swallows.
The Hermit Thrush.
THE earliest of the small thrushes, the
hermit thrush, may be expected April 5, and
the next week comes the black-and-w white
warbler. The warblers are one of the larg-
est most brilliant and interesting families
OF birds single representative, the myrtle
warbler, is found here occasionally in win
ter Most of the species winter in Central
and SOnth America in the West TndiaS
From this winter home they begin to re-
turn to the United States early in March.
One of the most brilliant, the prothonotary
warbler, struck lighthouse the coast
of Louisiana March 10. 1903. Few of them
reach Washington. before the middle of
April, but from April 20 for the next ten
days each morning will show one or more
new warblers and about the 10th of May
the woods are alive with them. On May 6,
l, 1, and again on May II twenty-three
different species of warblers were seen in
the District.
THE great waves of migration arrive
soon after april 20, and person must be
afield daily to keep track of the new species.
About May the arrival of the cuckoo, the
wood pewee and the bobolink shows that
the rear-guard of the migrants is present.
After this date the task of the observer is
to note the date of disappearance of those
species that pass farther north to nest.
