We get a new suit-some OF us-be-
cause the old one wears out That is
the most apparent cause for the new
annual suit OF the birds. Yet with them,
as with some of the favored OF us humans,
the feathers go out OF fashion But the
annual moult is. first of all, Natures
wise provision for the safety and life OF
the bird. Feathers are not only covering,
but also means OF locomotion, and hence
the birds only means of life. A year Of
use leaves many OF them worn and
broken, some OF them, through accident.
entirely lost. Here in my woods is n
crow with three of the quilts in his right
wing gone. l can see the gap as he
flies over. He has been shot at and
Nature must replace those feathers II
that crow is TO survive, even though he
comes justly (human standardsD by his
loss from stealing corn. The feathers of
this crow and OF all birds might last for
two years or longer. but to keep the race
at its best Nature has found it necessary
to provide a new plumage at least once
a year.
But there are other reasons, at least
there are advantages taken of the moult
for other ends; such as the adaptation OF
the feathers to the varying temperatures
OF the seasons-heavier in winter and
lighter in summer, also the adaptation
OF the color OF the plumage to the chang
ing colors OF the environment-as the
change from the dark summer color OF
the ptarmigan to its snow-white winter
plumage to match the SHOWS of its far
northern home; then. and perhaps most
interesting OF all, is the advantage taken
OF the moult, for the adjoining Of the
bird for the mating season. Indeed
Nature goes so far In some cases as to
cause a special moult to meet the exigen-
cies of the wedding-as II fine feathers
do make a fine bird. All this to meet the
fancy OF the bride So at least, the scien-
lists tell us.

Many Kinds Of Salmon.

Several kinds OF salmon are found in
Alaskan waters each with Its own peculi-
arities and each burdened with n number
OF names. When you buy n can Of sal
mon OF good grade. you get a section OF a
rather small red salmon that weighed per-
haps five or six pounds The same fish in
Puget sound is called the "sockeye." and
In Alaska the Alaska red" but II Is also
called the 'blue-back salmon" the
Fraser river" salmon, and the reddish It
Is more abundant than any other kind
and on II the packers place their main re-
lance. II is an exceedingly pretty fish
and when fresh from salt water has a
bright blue back and silvery sides and
underbody with no spots perceptible At
the spawning period the fish turns red
and n savage hook appears in the law
OF the male. The sockeyes ascend the
streams about July l, and II they are not
numerous the canneries have n bad sea-
son.
Not less delicious than the sockeye is
the King salmon, the most magnificent of
all the species. II, too, is known by many
names. A common one is spring salmon,
based on the fact that this species as
cends the streams earlier than any of the
others. 1t is also the "tyee," which in
Indian means about the same thing as
king, the chinook" the "quinnat" the
Columbia river and the Sacramento"
salmon, but under whatever name It is the
grandest OF American game fish. It has
been stated that the king salmon's maxi
mum weight is 10 pounds. Those fami-
liar with Alaskan fisheries place II at SIS
or 20 pounds, which certainly Is not an
exaggeration, and the fish is game to the
last ounce. The king salmon is not a
very large factor in the canning industry,
because its run Is made so much earlier
than that of the other Species and its
numbers are so small, that the cannery
men cannot with economy get their plants
in readiness to take care of the catch.
The greater number of this beautiful fish
are frozen as soon as caught, many OF
them without even being cleaned, and are
sent with all haste In refrigerator cars
to eastern markets, where they command
fancy prices, Philadelphia is the biggest
market, and the kings have brought as
high as so cents a pound there at retail.
The king salmon, with its great
strength and speed, makes astonishing
journeys to its spawning fields 1t
traverses the whole length of the Yukon
river and follows up some of it's biggest
tributaries to their very sources. Late
in August, as we were descending creek
more than 200 miles by water from the
Lewes river, which becomes the Yukon
further down, We met these great fish
coming up stream, nearly 5000 miles from
salt water. BY that time their color had
changed from blue and silver to dark red,
which flashed brilliantly when the sun
light struck them. The great fish seemed
almost g.otesquely out Of place in that
little stream. Prospectors told us that
the salmon ran up as far as Nesutlin lake.

A Song.

Dead leaves that whirl in the tattered

That once were fairy gold,
Breathlessly, hopelessly torn and blind,
This it is to be old.
Wild songs that clang on the silver air
A flame with a forked tongue,
Passionate, masterful, wise and fair
That it is to be young.

Forever fresh and new.

Marvellous Success In Growing Christmas
plants Without Heat

A writer in the Garden Magazine for
September tells Of remarkable success
with the new way of forcing plants with
ether; I'VE had flowers for Christmas,
Just like those of the stores, which had
been forced by the expensive florists
greenhouse, heated by steam or water
Our apparatus was only little bottle Of
ether, an old washboiler for small plants,
and an old-fashioned chest for the shrubs
Actual cash outlay? Fifteen cents a
plant! After the ether treatment the plants
were subject to all the discomforts that
commonly fall to the lot OF house plants
during winter.
1.-THE old-fashioned chest, with dove
tailed corners was placed upside down
on the cellar floor and banked around with
earth. The plants were put in here and
ether poured in, After 70 hours they were
brought into the air"

A REPUBLICAN DILEMMA.

With a Democratic House, Will the
G. O.. p. Continue to Stand Pat.
Some discussion is going on about
what the Republicans would do to-
ward revising the tariff If the Demo
Gratis elect a majority Of the next con-
gress. Such a slap in the face to the
vested interests az to have to settle
with a Democratic majority would
bring protectionism to the point where
it would be politically dangerous to
stand pat my longer. AS protection
ism is the principal issue in the present
campaign lor congress, the defeat of
the Republicans would be a declara-
ton by the majority Of the voters of
the country for tariff reform. Could
the Republican leaders afford to ignore
such a mandate by refusing next win
ter to pass a tariff revision bill at the
session of the present congress or
would they continue to stand pat and
allow the trusts and combines to con
tinue their legalized plundering of the
American people?
What would President Roosevelt do
In SuCu IL ullelIlud :. VOulu uC Call COIL
gress in special session or continue to
stand pat, Notwithstanding the express
sion of public opinion that protection
to trusts must cease? To attempt to
postpone the matter until the regular
session Of the Sixtieth congress con-
venes in December, 1907, would only
bring the issue more plainly before the
people in the following national cam
paign. The Democratic majority of
the house Of representatives would Of
course pass a tariff reform measure,
and the Republican senate would have
to reject it or amend and pass it. To
amend it In the interest Of the trusts
and protected monopolists, or refuse to
consider it, would only add fuel to the
popular fire that has been for some
time difficult to keep within control.
1t will be an interesting political con
dition that the Republicans will have to
face if the voters decide to elect u
Democratic majority to the Sixtieth
congress.
