SUGAR FRAUD PROSECUTIONS
 TO CONTINUE.
Inquiry Which May Rival Insurance
 UPheaval of 1905.

New York, Nov 15.-While the legal machinery of the government moves slowly, the air of uncertainty which surrounds the sozcalled sugar fraud cases Is interpreted by those who have followed the progress of corporation investigation in this country to fore shadow an inquiry which may rank with the insurance upheaval of 1905.
 Boston and Philadelphia were brought within the scope of the in- vestigation today, with the report that the government would probably att tempt to obtain back duties due on sugar in those cities, while the inves- tigation went on in New York with repeated rumors of reaching the ''men higher up''

NO FOREST FIRES IN EUROPE
There Every Part Of the Tree Is Utll-
lied, Leaving Nothing to
Start ConhaJration.

The question has been asked why
there should be so many fires in our
American forests when there are so
very few or none at all in the forests
OF Europe. The answer is this. saws
Outing. When the trees are cut in
the forests of Germany, France or
Switzerland, the entire material in
the tree is marketed and removed.
leaving no inflammable litter on the
ground In our American forests, ow-
ing to lack OF market for such mate
rial. fully one-half of the tree-the
limbs, smaller branches. twigs and
foliage-are left upon the ground
where they soon become dry and fur
nish material for a forest fire.
In the European forests every part
OF the tree. including the smaller
twigs. is sold. The sale of this minor
product constitutes over one-half of
the revenue. Hence, when the for.
ester is through with his tree cutting
no intiammable material is left upon
the ground. Now, If our Adirondack
lumbeTmen could sell the limbs and
tops of the trees instead of allowing
them TO go 20 waste for lack OF a
market. they would not be obliged TO
leave the ground encumbered with the
inaammabie debris and litter which is
such a prolific source of fire. and
which when ignited is so difficult to
extinguish

USES WINGS TO CATCH FISH
Sly Old Bird Is the csssowary, Ae-
eordins to Observations Made
by Naturalist.

Habits of the cormorant and of our
native fish hawk are generally known.
Their methods o. taking fish are very
much like those of birds of prey. But
the cassowary fishes according to a
method OF its own. A well-known nat
uralist witnessed its operations on a
river in the island of New Britain.
He saw a cassowary come down to
the waters edge and stand for some
minutes apparently watching the wa
ter carefully. 1t then stepped into the
river where it was about three feet
deep. and partially squatting down,
spread its wings out. submerging
them, the feathers being spread
and ruffied
The bird remained motionless, and
kept its eyes closed as II in sleep. It
remained in this position for a quar-
ter of an hour. when suddenly closing
its wings and Strengthening its feath-
ers it stepped out on the bank. Here
Is shook itself several times, where
upon a quantity of small fishes fell
out OF its wings and from amid it's
feathers. These the bird Immediately
picked UP and swallowed.
The fishes had evidently mistaken
the feathers for a kind of weed that
grows in the water along the banks
of the rivers in this island and which
resembles the feathers Of the casso-
wary. The smaller fishes hide in these
weeds to avoid the larger ones that
prey on them.

every family can have its own flying
machine means of getting out for
day with as much safety as now at
tends the automobile or the old fami-
ly horse. Wouldn't such thing add a

nance the pleasure Of living to be able

spin in the sky, where the air is pure,
where all of the earth is spread out
before one. even as II is spread before
the eye of the eagle? Would it not add
to the sum total Of human happiness
to take to the clouds as do the birds,
and to have to consider neither the
beaten highways nor the rocky bar
riers OF the mountain ranges? Ger
tainly it would. And just as certainly
such time is rapidly dawning or the
