THE LAST HERON

Volumes respecting the millinery
craze for aigrets and plumes could not
convey any clearer idea of ruth and
reckoning than is contained in these
few paragraphs from the Technical
World:
High above the marshy wastes which
border the klamath lakes in southern
Oregon a lone white heron winged its
fight a few months ago, the sole sur
ViVor of a once numerous family.
On broad pinions the snowy survivor
of former legion fioated to the east
and then to the west. the far-seeing
eyes searching vainly each stretch of
lake, land or sedgy waste for familiar
patch of white which would betoken
the presence of father, mother, mate,
chick or friend
He saw none, for President Roose-
Welt had been too late in setting aside
the klamath district as national bird
reserve. and the delay had sealed the
fate of the white heron family.
But one is left, according to the Of
fcials of the United States land office
and of the National Association of
Audubon Societies; just one samnle
remains of myriad thousands of one of
the most beautiful of all native birds.
The decree of fashion has brought
such butchery that biological his
torians will in future works record the
fact that in A. d. 1908 the white heron
followed the great aux over the dismal
trail that stretches backward to tbe
ages that are gone
