THOSE STATE ROADS.

The Good Roads Commission held
quite spirited public meeting on
last Friday, when delegations from
many of the counties were present
urging action on various routes i'll the
counties under consideration. Fred
erick county was represented pro and
con, and from what we can learn the
commission was made to : sit up
somewhat on (what we prefer to CALI
the Jones" route from Hyattsville
across to Monrovia and New Market,
then on to and stopping at Johns
vile New London). If chairman
Jucleer and the rest of the Commits
sion would stop and consider for a
moment what the building of this
route would mean, they would not
consider it for moment. Ii this
route is adopted, along with the Ma
tional Pike route, it would mean that
New Market District would have up
wards of half of the total number OF
miles to be built in Frederick county.
A ridiculous as well as an unwarant-
ed and one-sided proposition. No
further comment is necessary. All
we ask is that any fair minded man
set down and ponder it for five min
utes, and must reach but one conclu-
sion namely, that it is unjust.
Take the route Mr.. Commissioners
from Hyattstown on to Frederick by
the way of Urbana and thence by way
of Emmitsburg pike to Emmitsburg
and you will be accomplishing some
thing worth while. You will be Civ
ing proper account of your stewart
ship so far as spending Frederick
county's allotment of Good Roads
money. We are informed that on
March It'll, they will decide the ques-
ton before them. We shall hope for
the best. Our opinion is that the
money in hand for Frederick county
could not be applied in any better
way than by buying every turnpike
in the county and make State kept
roads out of them. Would this not
be the the greatest good to the great
est number.

The Cuckoo's Habits.

1t is we'll known that the cuckoo
lays her eggs in the meet of other birds.
Now comes the German naturalist,
Konrad Fuss, who breaks a lance in
defense of the cuckoo's character, or
rather. gives the reasons for the birds
strange habit. Owing to the unusu-
ally large stomach of this bird, he
says, she has not room in the rest of
her body to develop more than one
egg at time, with a weeks interval
between each. If she laid her eggs
With such long pa,,ses between in one
family nest, there would result con.
fusion Of Matched, Matching and EN-
bryo progeny, which would mean dis
aster to all.
She could not herself attend to
more than one nest at a time. Con-
sequently, she is forced to exact ma
ternal care for her eggs from other
bsrds.
She is careful to choose the nest of
worm-and-insect- eating bird-pref-
erably one in whose menu caterpillars
often appear, the hairier and bigger
the better, for the hungry big stom'
achs of the young cuckoos.
Nature seems to do everything in her
power to encourage the cuckoo in her
apparently stiffness, lazy ways.
She has no natural gift for nest-build'
ing, but lays her eggs on the ground,
seizes them in her bill, and drops them
by stealth into some unsuspecting
neighbours nest.
Oddly enough, although the cuckoo
is four times as large as the skylsrk.
her eggs are as small as those of the
lark, and pass unnoticed among the
eggs of many varieties of small birds.
The young cuckoo, till about ten
days old-the age at which it begins
to crowd legitimate progeny out Of
the nest-has a natural depression in
it's back which acts as a convenient
kind of ladle for turning the luckless
Hedglings out into the cold world.
The cuckoo being so much larger than
the other birds, fills the nest with its
own bulk, and is forced to adopt
these drastic measures. This act Of
self preservation accomplished, the
cuckoo's back assumes the comely
symmetry Of later life.
The adopted parent does Lot seem
to notice or resent this behavior in
the least, but coddles and tends the
interloper till it has reached the age
of discretion. and pays no further at
tention to her discarded young. The
cuckoo's migration is also arranged
for at much earlier date than others
of the feathered world-an engage
ment which she could not keep if do.
mestic cares detained her.
