Seeking a Rare Bird
London Mail,


A final attempt is being made
by the New Zealand government
to obtain specimens of the hula,
a bird which has been practically
exterminated by the vogue for
it's feathers which obtains among
the Maoris. The hula is a jet
black bird, with white band at
the extreme end of it's tail feath-
ers. The birds are Matched in
pairs. The male has a short
strong beak, and the female a
long, slender, lncurved beak +;
the male breaks the bark off dead
trees and the female then dips
her beak into the holes of the
big grubs which attack dead tim
Der. She presents one grub to
her spouse and then has one for
herself, alternating most consci-
entiously. The Maoris say that
when one died the other must
necessarily die of starvation, be-
cause nature has so arranged
that each is dependent on the
other.

207I Cars of Fruit

Oranges for the whole world
were sent out of Southern Cali
fornia last week. In a round to-
tai $4,000, 900 of oranges and
lemons left the south by way of
the Santa Fe and Southern Pa
chic. Such record has never
been equalled during any seven
days in the history of the fruit
Industries.
Early last week it became ap-
parent that a new record was
being established, but all esti-
mates were broken when the
Santa Fe moved 1109 cars Of
fruit, and the Southern Pacific
sent over 661 cars, making a to-
tai of 2071.
Fruit men place estimates of
the average of oranges in box
with the present size at between
16O and 10. There are 400 boxes
to the car. from this they fig
ure 137, 100000 oranges and lem
ons for the week has been gain
ed. A train of seventeen miles
in length would represent the
total number of cars shipped and
it would take $50 engines to haul
it up either Cajon or Timoneo.
The total shipments this sea-
son are about 1890 cars. The
total crop is estimated at so, coo.

Liquor Men Are Losing Out

The Board of, Supervisors OF
Maricopa county last week pass
ed resolution refusing to issue
any licenses to Phoenix appli-
cants. This decision affects
nearly all the saloons in that
city.
The decision is based on an
opinion of District Attorney Bull
lard, that the work now in pro-
gress on the canal east of Phoe
nix is a public work within the
meaning of the statute, and that
the saloons are shut out by the
operation of the six mile limit
law.
The liquor men will take the
matter to court on a mandamus
proceeding in an effort to force
the Supervisors to grant the Ii
cences.

Catgut From SiIkWOrms
Scientific American.

Probably but small percent
age of the fishermen who use
flies strung with fine translucent
"catgut" are aware that the al.
most unbreakable substance that
holds the hook against the strug-
giles of the struck fish comes
from silkworms. The principal
center Of the manufacture of this
kind of catgut is the island OF
Procida in the Bay of Naples,
but most of the silkworms en-
ployed are raised near Tore An
nunziata. at the foot of Vesuvlus.
The caterpillers are killed just
as they are about to begin the
spinning of cocoons, the silk
glands are removed and sub
jected to a process of picking,
which is a secret of the trade,
and afterward the threads are
carefully drawn out by skilled
workers. mostly women. The
length of the thread varies from
from a foot to nearly twenty
inches.

The amount Of labor required for the crop
itself was about 10 working days, with team
~ days. The SeSbania used as green manur-
ing on the west half Of the potato ground was
given IL irrigatiOns. Bermuda grass, more
over, fiouriShed beneath the sesbania to such
an extent as subsequently to require o days
labor for cleaning up the As acres so fertiiZed.
Although the larger part OF the crop came
from the sesbania fertilized portion OF the po-
tatoes, this method OF enriching the soil
proved very costly, q days mans time and 3
days teamwork being required to put the ses-
bania under and afterwards get rid Of the
Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor en-
tailed could easily have been managed by a
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.

PANAMA CITY MAN SAYS THE
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS HAS
STRONG SUPPORT IN THE ST.
ANDREWS COUNTRY.

Alto L. Williams, of Panama City,
who has been in Pensacola attending
the sessions of the Alabama confer
ence, is very much impressed with
Pensacola and the improvements made
here during the last four years, the
paving and the numerous parks APP
pealing to him as showing the pro-
gressive spirit of the city officials.
The conference, too. he says has been
one of the most successful and most
harmonious he has ever attended.
Panama City and the whole st. An
drews bay country, according to Mr..
Williams, is steadily growing and the
new town of G. A. r. people, Lynn
Haven, is rapidly filling up with vet
Grams from the north.
Asked about the political situation
in that part of Washington county Mr..
Williams said that there is not very
much interest except in the congress
sional race from the Third district.
IF there are no new ones to enter the
race Judge Parkhill will get an almost
unanimous vote in our part of the
state" he said. The judges friends
are already working for him and if our
part of Washington county may be
used as a sample of the way the peo-
pie of other sections think Judge
Parkhill will have a walk-over."
Mr.. Williams left yesterday for his
home in Panama City.

reply was that she was too young and

cution in which Miss Graham released
Stokes from any responsibility for

farm near Lexington, KY, was reintro-
duced. Miss Graham declared that
Stokes held her a prisoner on his farm
and forced her to write the letter be-
fore he would let her go. Last week
she asserted that she wrote it when
Stokes threatened that he would wire
