TO be erected in Denver in honor OF
Colorado pioneers seems likely to re
suit in Injunction proceedings. The
monument has been designed by Fred

Moving day in squirreldom is not the

manifested its disapproval of human
invasion by regular TRADE of scold-
ing every time any one appeared. Fail
ing to make any Roadway, it was one
day noticed running down the tree
and along the fence with something
in its mouth Shortly it returned, and
a second squirrel baby, carried as
cat carries her kittens, was removed
to place of safety.
Another of the genus was observed
to frequent a clump of sunf1owers,
the heads of which disappeared mys-
teriously, even in the immature state.
Later these seed heads, some of them
not half grown, were discovered
tucked away in a pile on the second
floor of a little-used outbuilding evil

bag hung over a rafter, Mrs. Squirrel
had made her nest; and when an in
quisitive member of the family peeped
in, her rebuke was a speedy removal
of her family to unknown quarters.
One of the tribe was frequently OBJ

to neighboring apple tree, thence t.

iciled. One day cries of distress sum-
moned the family to the chick nursery-
where a wounded chick and vanish
ing squirrel told the story. In half
an hour the alarm was repeated and
the furry mischief was seen to run
down a tree trunk and grab three
chicks in turn, holding each but an
instant, and then bound up the tree
before assistance could be given. A
bystander insisted that it was pure
ly a mischevious prank, but the
chicks, none of which was seriously
hurt, did not appreciate the joke. The
old house cat, too, suddenly became
interested. The squirrel tauntingly
jeered from the treetops, but before
night the cat had avenged the Insult

Digging for Kauri Gum.

Many New Zealanders find it profta-
Die to dig for hidden treasure. That
for which they did, however, is not
gold or Captain KiG1ds Ill gotten wealth,
though it has a dull yellow color. 1t is
kauri gum, a resinous substance witch
Is the product of the kauri pine tree.
The gum can be secured from the
trunks Of trees while they are alive,
for it protrudes in Jumps, but 1t Is es-
pecially profitable to dig for 1t In the
soil about the stumps remaining after
the trees have been cut down. Some
times chunks weighing as much as 100
pounds are taken up from the ground.
Digging for kauri gum is profitable
for the gum Is used in the manufacture
of varnish, and apparently It IS one Of
those products Of nature whose place
cannot be filed by anything else whfoh
has yet been discovered. In fact, the
price has gone up % per cent within
the last year because Of the great in
crease In the demand. 1t has been
found that it can be used In certain
enamel paints, and this has had the
effect Of bringing the demand up to
point above the supply.
The kauri pine is magnificent tree.
1t rises as straight as q needle to a
height Of from 80 to 200 feet and at
tains at times a diameter Of Is feet.
1t Is noted for its dark, dense foliage
and Is much used for masts for vessels
constructed for the British navy.
