In California the woodpecker stores
acOrns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ing slightly in size, at the fall Of the
year. invariably In a pine tree. Then
he find an acorn, which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its re-
ception.
But he does not eat the acorn, for,
as a rule, he is not a vegetarian. His
object is storing away the acorns ex-
hibits foresight and a knowledge Of
results more akin to reason than to
instinct. The succeeding winter the
acOrns remain intact, but, becoming
saturated, are predisposed to decay.

Zoolnnical Puzzle.

Italian biologists have a puzzle to
solve. owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc of the body Of a white
bear, which has been brought to Aosta.
It was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago, and must have been pre-
served by the ice. since il has always
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago. But
it has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place 4
few days previous to discovery. At
this would seem to show that there
are still white bears in the Alps. ex-
petitions are to be sen to test the
theory

The forest reserves of the United

under the control of the department OF

SO far as that may be practicable. The
Importance of the maintenance of our

in other countries, and we should work
toward the standard set by them az far
as their methods are applicable to our

Upwards Of four hundred millions acres
of forest land in this country are in pri-
vatc ownership. but only three per cent.
of it is being treated scientifically and
with a view to the maintenance of the
forests. TIL part played by the forests
in the equalization of the supply of water

and dispute, but the general benefit to be
derived by the public from the extension
Of forest lands on watersheds and the

Ithaca-John D. Rockefeller's phi

Teller foundation bill, now pending in

commended by President Jacob e..
Schurman in an address before the Cor

the measure. President Schurman
said:
Il recognize that section No. 2 Of the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation. authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro-
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say. morals and religion, art
and science, and social inter.
course, and all that concerns the 20
litical. economic. and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This is a vast field for the exercise Of
philanthropy.
But Mr.. Rockefeller has conceived
a vast scheme of philanthropy, for the
benefit of his fellow citizens and man.
kind. His character. ability and or.
ganizing skill are adequate guarantees
that he will carry out his scheme
wisely and successfully. with meal
culable benefit and blessing to man.
kind. 1t is in the interest of the ma
ton that he be given a free hand in
the exercise of his colossal beneti-
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort OF organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benef-
cence. which is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
THE only change | would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method OF
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well b. left a close
corporation, If Mr.. Rockefeller so de.
sires, for a generation. But after that
time | am confident that it would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare-to say moth
ing OF the satisfaction of the sentiment
of a democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi.
dent of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding.

be regarded as representing the peo-
pie of the United States. whose vel
