BIRD CASTLES IN THE ROCKS.
Ten Thousand Birds Live Upon a
Rock on the MagdaIen Islands.

Ten Thousand Birds Live Upon a
To see the other rock-dwellers we
must go ON farther to the north.
From the Magdalens to the most
northern lands one will meet the
tenanted by the hardy seabirds which
delight in sheer heights such as turn
most men dizzy. Great Bird Rock, of
the Magdalen group, far out in the
turbulent Gulf of ST. Lawrence, is the
most accessible from civilization Of
any of the colonies of this sort, says
Herbert X. Job, in Outing. 1t almost
seems like mocker, though, to apply
to it the term accessible" 1t is a
question of degree, for even this is
remote and hard to reach at it's best.
Yet such a place as Great Bird Rock
is one of the seven wonders of the
world. If any one who truly loves
wild nature desires real and unique
thrill. by all means he or she should
somehow visit Great Bird Rock. 1t
towers from a stormy, fog-begirt
ocean, lonely, buffeted on every side,
exposing it's towering cliffs to the al,
most unremitted assaults of the ele-
ments.
1t has been my good fortune twice
to visit this great castle of the birds.
The first time we went in a schooner
of goodly size, were left on the rock,
and called for two days later. The
next time, four years after, the vessel
failed to keep the appointment, and,
rather than give it up, we watched
our chance and ran out from the Mag
dalens in an open lobster boat. We
were hurled ashore by the surf on the
one bit of rocky beach under the cliff.
Hurriedly hitching on the steam-winch
tackle, we. had the boat hoisted out of
danger, and scrambled up the long
ladder ITO feet to the summit, where
we were loyalty cared for by the keep
er and his family, who had received
but one visitor since the previous No
vember.
On the sheer walls of this precipi-
tous island, on the many Lodges, live
some ten thousand sea birds. The

part OF the treasure which awaits re-
covery in the inland seas. In 1916 the
Lexington, Capt. Peer, cleared from
Cleveland for Port Huron with car
go of 10 barrels of whisky. The ship
foundered in midlake with all on
board. To-day the whisky is worth
$115 per barrel. The Anthony Wayne
sank in Lake Erie with 800 barrels of
whisky and wine on board. The West
moreland sank with similar cargo.
1t is said that coal worth 100000
awaits recovery.
A terrible event on the inland seas
was the loss of the steamer Atlantic
off Long Point, Lake Erie, with 300
lives. Not until a quarter of CEN
fury had passed was trace of the ship
found. Treasure worth $4,000 was
taken from her. The Griffin, built by
La Sale at the foot of Lake Erie in
January, 1879, sailed across Lake Erie,
up the Detroit river and entered Lake
Michigan She started on the return
trip in the fall of 1880 with $4,000
in furs on board. She was never
heard Of.
Treasure hunters are now seeking
the $4,000 copper cargo that went
down with the steamer Pewabic in a
collision with the Meteor in August,
1865. The Pewabic went down in Lake
Huron, off Thunder Bay island. Five
men have lost their lives in attempts
to recover her cargo. The new attempt
is being made by New York syndi-
cate, which has perfected diving rig
that they declare will withstand the
water pressure at the depth at which

remain to this day for lucky fortune
hunters In the wrecking of $4,000
ships thousands of lives we're snuffed
out and unwritten acts of herOism
played. Many fortunes have been re-
covered from the bottom of the lakes.
Not many years ago a treasure ship
came down from the North, the Will
liam H. Stevens, loaded with $101, $3.50
worth of copper. She went down off
Conneaut, O. Unavailing efforts to re-
cover her treasure were made until
Capt. Harris w. Baker, Detroit, fitted
out modern treasure-hunting expedi-
ton. He recovered 100000 of the
cargo, his share of the treasure being
$4,000. On the south shore of Lake
Erie, between Erie and Dunkirk, the
steamer Dean Richmond lies with $780,
900 in zinc on board. The Richmond
disappeared between these two ports
and the bodies of the crew we're
washed ashore. Lake Huron is called
the Lake of the Sunken Treasure"
Near Saginaw bay are more lost ships
with valuable cargoes than in any 9TH
er of the great lakes. The steamer
City of Detroit, with $4,000 copper
cargo; R. G. Coburn, 100000 copper
cargo, and the steamer Fay, with $780,
900 in steel billets on board, lie in the
bay. The steamer Kent was sunk off
Point Pelee with much money in her
hulk. Eight men lost their lives on
the Kent.

In twenty years-between 1878 and
1S9S-6,000 vessels were wrecked on
the inland seas, marine records show.
The loss of cargo in this period of
less than one-fourth of the years Of
navigation on the lakes was 100000.
From this estimate it is figured that
the total number of vessels wrecked
reaches $4,000 and the amount of treas
ure at the bottom of the lakes is $780,
100000.
String these sunken vessels with
their hidden treasures over the 1000
mile course from Buffalo to Duluth,
and there would be one every half
mile.

A woman at Geneva, Illinois, who is
a social leader objected to automobiles
rushing past her house, and barricaded
the road with boulders and limbs of
trees. Two wrongs do not make a right;
but the desperation in which she COM
mitted this culpable act would not have
come upon her without great provoca-
ton. She said she was continually in
fear of the killing of her 9-year-old son
by the automobiles, as they tore along
at a terrific speed

While Mrs. John ]. Armour of Phila-
delphia was holding in her hand bottle
of hair tonic and standing near a gas
flame in which she was heating a curling
iron, the bottle exploded and the tonic
caught fire. The unfortunate woman
rushed from the room blazing from head
TO foot. The flames were extinguished
and she was hurried to hospital where
she died after hours of suffering. The
tragedy follows closely on the heels of
the announcement that Mary Garden has
suffered the loss of her eysight from the
action of preparation for dyeing the
hair, which she used according to direc-
tons. All compounds that are sold to
the general public and that carry
menace of danger should be accompanied
by warnings.

The stand which the War Department
has taken in the Philippines in favor of
respect for the institution of marriage,
will prevent many scandalous assertions.
1t will sometimes prevent thoughtless
marriages. If soldier, be he private
or officer, marries in the Philippines he
must bring his wife home with him when
he returns to the United States. The
regulation will prevent sailing under
false colOrs. 1t will prevent bigamy.
Eight of the colored troopers Of the
Tenth United States Cavalry, which dis
embarked in New York from the trans
port Fitzpatrick yesterday, brought with
them Filipino wives, whom they will
take to Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont,
when the regiment goes there on orders,
as it will in a few days.

The action of the Department of the In

main valuable coal lands in Wyoming
which had been illegally secured by GER
tain spectators will arouse wide ap-
plause. With all the experiences of
the past in regard to scheming by land

liable mineral lands at prices which
represent only small percentage of
their real value.

The storm which tested the sea wall
at Galveston, and which drowned eight
cen members of a fishing party at
pier resort near that city, raised the
level of the water six feet, and would
have swept the city again had not the
grade been raised in connection with the
construction Of the safeguard along the
sea front. Sudden rises of the water
are likely to be experienced as result
of high winds blowing into the blight
of the gulf, and there is no safety ex-
cept on elevations of the shore that are
high enough to escape submergence.
Galveston will never regret the ire
mendous expenditure necessary to alter
her gulf front and the topography Of the
land behind the wall, because she will
experience tidal waves often enough to
demonstrate the extreme danger Of the
original conditions.

Plans have been prepared for the
elimination of grade crossings in Mime
apolis at cost of between $6,O00,OO0
and 100000. This is a large sum of
money; but the cost of safety in cities is
always high, and the returns on invest
ments ofsthis kind warrant the outlay.

The fury of the recent hurricane on
the Gulf of Mexico which beat ineffec-
tually on the new sea wall at Galveston
can be guaged from the fact that revised
estimates of the damage done in the
vicinity of Galveston aggregate $4,000.
Most of this loss was on the low coast

Recently $1,000 melinite shells of
caliber which no longer corresponds with
any of the guns of the French navy
were taken out to sea, off Toulon, and
thrown overheard at point two miles
from land. The French naval authori-
ties seem to have been guilty of hus-
banding ammunition instead of utilizing
it in target practice, which would have
given some return upon the cost of the
materials. To keep ammunition until
it becomes obsolete through Improvement
in guns and gunnery is evidence of Off
cial carelessness somewhere.

A few years ago the activity of agri-
culturists in different parts of the coun-
try was directed to grating tomato
vines upon potato vines, with the view
of raising a two-story crop--tomatoes
above ground and potatoes below. The
experiment does not seem to have been
satisfactory. Now John Groves of Salem,
Ohio. is undertaking to grow potatoes
without any tops at all. His patch is
said to promise well, the bulbs having
attained the size of hens egg without
showing the sign of a sprout. If the
experiment succeeds the potato bugs Will
