MCCREARY TEXT BOOK
BILL ON THIRD READING
Motion to Indefinitely Postpone Measure Defeated
by Vote OF Is to 8---HOuSe Session.

TALLAHASSEE. May l4.-County
uniformity OF textbooks won the first
round in the Senate yesterday when
after a discussion that was warm at
times a motion to indefinitely post
pOne the McCreary bill was defeated
by a vote Of 10 TO s.
Senator McCreary argued strongly
for his bill and advanced many argu-
ments in it's behalf
The strongest opponent was Sena-
tor Fred Cone. who argued for State
uniformity instead
The bill is now on final passage in
the Senate. but vote will probably
not be called until next week. when
more of the Senators are present.
Senator Cone in speaking against
the measure. claimed that il is only
a makeshift. He stated during his
remarks that the school book trust
has had its finger upon the threats
Of the peol le Of the State.
This corporation is curse upon
the State Of Florida" he claimed.
NO other corporation resorts TO such
dirty lobbying" tie charged that all
county bills were only attempts TO
hold on State uniformity.
Senator McCreary spoke IN behalf
OF the measure claiming that il
would accomplish all OF the good that
State uniformity would accomplish.
He strongly denied the statement
that the bin Is in the interest Of
any school book concern
Il am not standing here Ia the in
rests OF any school book concern,
fn said. but am standing here in
tle interests of the school children Of
a State Of Florida.

on Alachua county" he continued.

ANIMAL LEARNING.

DR.. T. Zell, German naturalist,
has collected many instances to prove
that animals learn by experience, and
thus become wiser than their anin'
structed parents, Game animals OF
all kinds, he AYERS, have learned the
range OF modern rifles. Greyhounds
quickly learn to let rabbits alone. and
foxhounds pay no attention to either
rabbits or hares. Killer whales and
gulls follow whaling vessels, Just as
vultures follow an army. Crows be
gin to accompany the channels hunter
as soon as they have seen the result
of his first successful shot, and rough
legged buzzards follow the sportsman
after winged game. The number OF
birds that kill or iniure themselves
by flying against telegraph wires is
much smaller than II used to be
Doctor zell also refers to the fact that
birds and quadrupeds have learned to
disregard passing railway-trains. as
horses quickly cease to be frightened
by automobiles. His instances of the
intelligent selection exercised by
sheep-dogs are familiar to all.

WHERE BIRDS LAY EGGS.

The normal habit of birds whose
young are Matched In state able to
run about and feed themselves Ia to
build on the ground. Receptions.
however, are not rare. and stories Of
ducks Matching their eggs In trees
and getting their broods safely to
ground have been recently told.
Those interested In the matter will
find some interesting notes Of pleas
ants doing the same In the current
number of the Field. A number OF
cases are related In which this bird
has departed from its usual habit OF
nesting on the ground In all these
the eggs have been laid in tree at
some height from the ground, and
usually in some nest already there.
In two cases the pheasant has laid
It's eggs in the nest Of a wood pigeon.
When It il remembered that the wood
pigeon builds its somewhat slender
platform Of sticks for the accommo-
dation Of two eggs only, while the
much larger pheasant usually lays
about IL. II is hard to justify the lat.

derstAnd how such n structure. per

pheasant and its eggs. The squirrers

pheasants are recorded to have Laid
their eggs. would afford q .lore sub
stantial support. The height above

eggs have been found varies from six
to So feet s inches

young to throw themselves down.
The soft. grisly nature Of the bones Of
the newly Matched birds probably Pre-
vents them from heing easily injured.
The descent Of the young phessarits
has not been observed, but the above
view is rendered probable by the FACT
that some are found dead beneath the

Value of Sour Milk.

Most housewives do not know that
soar milk is preservative. Even
oysters will keep In it for some time.
A piece Of beefsteak was found to be
perfectly fresh after an immersion OK
four or five months. Prof. Ellie
MetchnikoH, of the Pasteur Institute,
Paris, explains that the sugar in the
milk encourages the growth OF certain
germs which form Tactic acid. This
acid destroys the germs of putrefac-
ton. For this reason sour milk and
buttermilk are often beneficial in ALI
mentary disorders which are accom-
panied by bacterial infection. Sweet
