Excitement Attended the Discovery oE
 a Blaze Near the Depot.
 Originating from a spark from a passing train, and smouldering In the roof of little building on the north end of the Union Station, ~caused the fire department to make a spectacular run at 6:45 o'clock last night In re- spending to an alarm sent in from the station box.
 The fire was discovered during the time when the station Is busiest dur ing the carly part of the night. but there was little excitement. Switch engines immediately got very busy and the Louisville & Nashville trains standing on the track irnmedia tely adjoining the fire were moved to a more distant track in the station.
 The fire entirely consumed the llttlI house, and the tree under which | was built was ablazo every branch.
 Other than causing most of the peo. pie in the down town district to make an unnecessary trip to the station, the fire was uneventful The damage was slight.

name; for while both species occa-
sionally snatch a chicken, the habit
is far too uncommon to justify the
name "hen-hawk." The good these
two big hawks do in the long run by
destroying rats and mice far more
than c~ompensates the farmer for the
insignificant damage he suffers at
their talons.
Both hawks and owls often swal-
low their prey entire or in large frag-
and often some of the feathers. Avian
and ven some of the feathers. Avian
digestion is both good and rapid, but
is is unequal to the task Of assimila-
ting such substances, and accordingly
both hawks and owls throw up these
rejecta in the form Of neatly rolled
pellets. In studying the food habits
of birds of prey much use is made
of these pellets, and the vicinity OF
a nest Of a pair of horned owls, for
instance often contains an unmistak-
able record Of the birds food, and
perhaps that of the young, Tor

not be denied, but as many species Of
this group secrete nauseous fluids,
which serve, in a measure at least,
to protect them, and as many are of
retiring habits and not readily found,
the number destroyed by birds Is rel
atively not large. Moreover, some Of
the p%redaceous insects, when insect
I rood is not available, become vege-
tarians, and hence assume the role
Of enemies of the farmer; so that
when birds destroy p~redacsous in
sects they may be doing the farmer
either a good turn or an Ill turn,
according to circumstances.
The relation Of birds to the So
called parasitic insects is still more
intricate and puzzling. Parasitic in
sects fill a very important place In
the economy Of nature; it is even
claimed by entomologists that they
do more effective service in aiding to
keep true the balance in the insect
world than any other agency. They
attack insects in every stage of ex-
isence and insure their destruction by
depositing eggs, on, or in, the bodies
of adults, their larvae (the worm or
caterpillar stage), their pupae, or
their eggs. Now, birds recognize no
fine distinctions In the insect world.
All is grist that comes to the avian
mill, and parasitic insects are snap
ned I'D by birds without the slightest
regard to the fact that they are use
full to man. Hence We have a compli-
Gated problem to unravel IN respect
to the inerrelation Of insect pests, OF
insect parasites that destroy them,
and of birds that destroy both pest
and their parasites.
Hawks and Owls Beneficial.
The hawks and red owls spend most
of their lives in killing small rodents
Their work is Complementary. Hawks
hunt their prey between the hours
of daylight and dark; owls hunt IN
the early evening and morning hours,
or by moonlight; sometimes when
pressed by hunger by day.
The bulk Of the depredations on
birds and chickens due to hawks is
committed by three species-the
Cooper and sharp-shinned hawks and
the goshawk; and the sportsman and
farmers boy should learn to know
the daring robbers by sight, so az
to kill them whenever possible. Tit
so-called "hen-hawks," usually either
the red-shouldered OF redtail hawk
are too often made victims Of a bad
