DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS.

Lighthouses on Maine Coast Attract
and Kin Thousands Every Spring.
One Of the keepers who came ashore
from Boon Island recently tells the
story Of the strange death encountered
by thousands Of the migrating birds
every spring. @
Flying along the coast at night they
are instantly attracted by the power
ful light from the watch tower, as
moths are drawn to 9 candle. Thou
sands Of these birds IN their passage
north az with full force against the
thick glass Of the brilliantly lighted
lantern. Stunned ,,to death they fall
to the rocks beloW or scale away for
2 little distance and flutter helplessly
into the water.
The light Of morning sometimes re-
Fveals the rocks covered with the little
creatures whose journey to their sum-
mer homes has met this sudden and
fatal termination. Hundreds Of spe-
oies are found among the unfortunate
little tourists. Most OF them are
easily recognized as belonging to the
various common classes Of song birds.
But very often large birds of beautiful
plumage come to their final resting
place in this manner upon the bleak
rocks of Boon Island.
On one occasion several years ago
the thick glass of the lantern was
shivered to atoms by the impact of
some strange bird of powerful bill.

RARE coLoRs IN M0LEs.

Particular Varieties Confined to Ger
tain FieIds-PiebaId and White.
Molecatching first became regular
occupation about century ago when
English molecatchers were introduced
on the lands of the then duke of Buc-
cleuch
The handsomest varieties belong to
the "silver gray" class. If these could
be obtained in any quantity their skins
would bring high price in the fur
market.
Mr.. Service Of Dumfries, lately lee
turing before the Edinburgh Field
Naturalists association, stated that he
had never seen really white mole,
and he believed it to be great rarity.
Nor had he ever seen piebald vari-
ETY.. He had little doubt that varia-
ton of colors in moles ran in certain
families.
The regularity with which a particu-
lar variety occurred repeatedly in the
same field or on the same farm was
well known to every molecatcher,
while no abnormal coloratiOn would
perhaps occur in any other part OF the
parish. .. .

Canes for the Marine Corps.

OF late practice new in this coun-
try has arisen among the men of the
marine corps stationed at League
island. Fully half of them now carry
canes. Not the usual walking stick
that the civilian carries, but the short
two-foot silver headed bamboo, just
like that affected by the English sol.
der. They can be seen swinging
along Market street fourishing their
diminutive canes and looking real
English indeed.
American soldiers have been re-
markably free from affectations that
are practiced by all foreign armies,
but the marines, who visit many coun-
tries and see all kinds of people, must
be expected to absorb some foreign
ideas. The fad does not seem to do
any harm, and it lends natty appear
ance to the best dressed branch of the
American service.

'sTo make camphor, said returned
traveller, ''yoe put in chips at one hole,
and out of another hole you draw the

Wherever camphor trees grow you
will find camphor distilleries. They
are low buildings of mud brick, and
their odor is so aromatic that it can
be detected two miles OF.
I'm each building there are a dozen
fires. On each fire is a kettle of boil
ing water, with a perforated lid. Fit
ted to the top of this kettle is an iron
cylinder, filled with camphor chips Of
the size of your little finger. Fitted
to the top Of the cylinder is an empty
inverted jar.
There is your whole apparatus
simple thing, which works simply.
The steam of the boiling water pass
ing up through the cylinder extracts
from the camphor wood its OIL This
oil, mounting still upward with the
steam, settles like brine on the sides
of the inverted jar at the top. This
brine, when the fire goes out, dries
into substance like frost or snow
white and aromatic, the frost-like
substance is the crude camphor It is

CALIFORNIA SWAPS DRINKS.

Peaceful Wine Topper Of San Francisco
Succeeded by the Mescal Fiend.
One of the old San Francisco's Pc
culiar institutions was the vagrant To-
cally known 'as the wine bum. In the
new city, SO comes the word, he is al
most extinct, and in his place has
arisen the mescal fiend.
Along the Barbary coast, on the
edges Of Chinatown, and particularly
on Kearney street, at the point
where that thoroughfare completes
its ascent Of Telegraph Hill it,
tie groggeries where California wine,
we'll doctored, could be had for
as little as cents a quart, white or
red. There you found the wine topper
at a table in room with sanded
floor, and little later, stopping In
Portsmouth square, you found the wine
topper there, keeping company with the
monument to Stevenson, who once
loafed in the same plaza, and, sleep
ing away in the afternoon, spfawled
on q bench.
Five cent wine seldom did more than
make man sleepy, but mescal, which
is pulque brandy, distilled from the
fermented sap of the century plant,
is a torrid and inflammatory drink.
The mescal fiend is loud citizen in
San Francisco these days. A San
Francisco newspaper, reciting the
progress of one down Kearny street
the other day, every now and then
pausing to try to pull telegraph pole
up by the roots, quotes policeman
as saying:
Another mescal nend. This will
make the eleventh have had to lay
out this evening. The wine gang were
bad enough, but II this mescal keeps
on being peddled I'll get shifted to
the fog belt

Few Desertions From German Army.
"Desertions in the German army are
almost unknown said Maj. Wack-
WITT of Saxony, an officer in the kai-
ser's army. "The discipline in the
German army, as is well known, is
perhaps the most rigorous of any in
the world, but there is rarely a
thought of deserving.
This is due largely, suppose, to
the fact that service in the army is
compulsory. It is part of every mans
life, just as school education is. Boys
are taught in school to obey, and in
later life, when they enter the army,
discipline is SO instilled into their
minds that there is never a thought of
disobeying orders.
"Duelling, once 50 common In Ger
many, is now q thing Of the past, One
never hears Of the code of honor any
more"

To Make the Tides Work.

Plans have often been made to de-

Now, however, a project is well ad-

either side of the Back bay, in Port
