What ii Would DO Toward Saving

Nothing could better call the atten-

fires which have been so widely dis

have played such havoc this summer. II
is doubtful if the losses for the year

gregate loss in all parts Of the coun-
try during these months of conhagra-
ton at S1,000,000 day.
In nearly every instance, probably

various states had provided an ade-

81 laries of forest officers, the work Of
putting down fires on the national for

$50 900. This means protecting APP
proximately f6s.000.000 acres. The
value Of the timber destroyed will not
be known until the fire reports are
made at the end Of the year, though

These results have come through the

Bulgaria took possession of this line
last summer on account OF a strike and
operated the trains by the aid OF the
troops. Prior to the meeting of the
minister, the government in reply to
the representations OF Germany and
Austria advanced the argument that
public sentiment was so strongly in
favor OF the retention of the line that
its restoration to Turkey was impossi-
Bile, but that the company's interests
would be safeguarded. A dispatch from
London on Sept rs stated that the Brit.

that it considered the continued occupa-

After she had gone Harry sat watching the frightened little captive in the net. And as he recalled all that his good hearted little sister had said, look of pity for the poor entrapped squirrel came over his face. and he rose and went to the tree where he had tied the nets strings. Loosening them, he gave Madam Squirrel her liberty. Then he went off through the woods, whisting with clear con science.
 After all, It's a good thing to listen to girls once and awhie,'' soliloquized Harry. ''They may not be very brave, very strong, nor as jolly as boys, but they're a long sight better at heart. It would never have occurred to me that that little squirrel might be a mother Anyway, mother, father, aunt or uncle, I reckon she is glad to get her liberty again.

We've got to be watchful now" said Madam Squirrel to herself. And If that monster comes about here again think we'll have to move farther Into the wood An if only he would stay away he and his kind-and leave us this little place to ourselves We ask so little. and can be so happy If not molested."
 And Madam Squirrel got her wish for never again did she see the two-legged monster proving about in that part Of the forest, and the squirrels lived on and on In peace and contentment. A little girl had saved them.

frightened when she saw the object-so large and menacing in her eyes-moving. And when the boy stood up to his full height she was amazed to see how im- mense he was.
 Now, Madam Squirrel, like all wild creatures, knew enough about self-preser- yation to run into her house and to whisper the terrifying news to her chil- dren of the monster that was at their very tree roots.
 For the love of lfe,' whispered Madam Squirrel to Winkie and Blinkie, don't dare to peep one eye out of this house till l assure you 1t is safe to do so. And now I'm going to take another peep" So saying the good mother crept to the outer entrance of her fine, cozy house and peeped toward the spot where the monster had been seen by her, stretching his long legs and arms. To her happiness, the being had disappeared. Of course, Madam Squirrel did not feel quite sure that he had gone altogether, but she was glad to see that he was not near to her tree. Now, my dears, I shall go and warn our neighbors. for they should know that a terrible ani- nal is in the woods in our very midst"
 Then Madam Squirrel went out to tell her neighbors about the strange appear ance of the giant animal, as she thought the big boy. But, very sad to relate, Madam Squirrel got her little feet en- tangled in a queer net-something she had not seen stretched on the ground as she went running toward her nearest

It was the finest grove of great, spread ing trees you ever say in which Madam Squirrel, her son Winkie and her daugh- ter Blinkie dweit. And 1t was deep hollow in one of the finest trees in that fine grove that afforded Madam Squirrel, Winkie and Blinkie a house. And all day long they were happy. There were nuts, berries and soft, green grass in abundance, and a great many very con genial neighbors all about them. And there was a little brook running through the grove, finding its source in a deep, powder sheltered spring. And from that spring the squirrels came daily to re fresh themselves with cool. delicious drink. and they often bathed in the brook that ran trickling over clear, pebbled bottom.
 But one day as Madam Squirrel sat on a limb that projected near her house entrance she was surprised at strange and curious object that was under tree nearby. She sat very quiet, watching 1t, and feeling some apprehensions, too, in consequence.
 Pretty soon the object moved, and what do you think 1t was? It was big boy Now, Madam Squirrel had never seen a boy before, for her home, having been in this grove since her birth, and this grove having been so far away from human habitation that 1t had not been entered very often by mankind, she had had no opportunity of seeing human be- tngs.

In parts of Brazil the vampire bat is deadly menace to live stock. An owner Of a large Brazilian possession in speaking of this pest said: 'T have often had my mules and cattle bled and sucked by these sanguinary phyllostomina. They abound from Paraguay to the Isthmus of Darien; and the reports of early travellers and the figurative language of poets, so long dis credited, are found to be much nearer the truth then the world has believed. Morn ing after morning have seen my beasts of burden, once strong. go staggering from loss of blood drawn from them during the night by these hideous little monsters. In almost every instance they have taken the life fluid from between the shoulders, and when they had finished their murder ous work the stream had continued to flow for sometime"
 The manner in which this bat manages to make an incision has long been matter of conjecture and dispute. The tongue, which is capable of considerable extension, is furnished at its extremity with number of papillae, which appear to be So arranged as to form an organ of suc- tion and their lips have also tubercles sym metrically arranged. These are the organs by which 1t is certain the bat draws the life blood from it's victim, be it man or beast, and some have contended that the rough tongue is the instrument employed to break the skin. Others have declared that the vampire uses its long. sharp. canine teeth with which to make the incl sion. MT. Wallace says that twice was he bitten by the vampire bat. and in neither case did he feel anything. but suddenly awoke after the operation of bood-sucking was completed. He found the wound to be a small, round hole, the bleeding of which it was very difficult to stop He was of the opinion that the in- cision in his flesh had been made by a needlelike tooth. But no less an author ity than Dr. Gardner disagrees with him in that, and has this to say on the sub ject.
 Having carefully examined in many cases the wounds thus made in horses, mules. pigs and other animals s-observa- tions that have been confirmed by h. formation received from the inhabitants of the northern part of Brazil-I am led to believe that the puncture which the vampire makes in the skin of animals Is effected by the sharp, hooked nail of It's
