Bursch don't. He carries a gun, and he
swore on the witness stand that he was
a specially commissioned officer
Not long ago he got into a wordy
battle with striking lineman and, dis
closing his star, threatened to take the
union lineman to police headquarters.
Investigation showed this interesting
fact: Bursch had been a special police
officer since January 4th, 1911. Do
you remember that date? 1t was the
day during the street car strike preced
ing the mass meeting at Coliseum rink.
The day the traction monopoly was
pouring Pinkerton thugs into a city
where the police had scarcely found it
necessary to make single arrest.
Bursch got his star-never mind how.
That he hasn't shot somebody-Or him
self-is probably no particular credit to
his forbearance. The union linemen have
been under constant orders from their
Officers to avoid any miX-up with the
company's men, and aside from hurting
a few wordy badinages occasionally
when the pressure got too high, there
has been no serious trouble.
After the gun play of last Saturday
Jake Michel telephoned to police head
quarters and IA man was sent to bring
Bursch in. He can't to headquarters and
meantime Fred Michel had sworn out
a warrant for his arrest and placed it
in the hands of the sheriff's office to
serve. Deputy Sheriff Markham went
after his man and told him he was un-
der arrest. Bursch said it was all right,
he had been down to police headquar-
Markham told him that it wasn't
Strengthened out with the sheriff's of

was asked for his gun and Bursch
turned it over to the sheriff loaded.
Did Chief Kraby knowingly allow him
to 90 out on the street with that load
ed gun in his pocket after what had oc-
cured? Technically there was no charge
against him in police headquarters. He
was an officer of the law and no known
warrant was out. Did the chief of po-
lice have any moral right to let him go
without hearing the other side of the
case? Is there any incentive to boy to
be law abiding when he makes formal
complaint to the law, the defendant
owns up to the charge and a jury turns
him loose? How far can Big Business

EGGS That Can't Be Found.

The eggs of some common birds Of
the present day have never been
found. There is the robin snipe; its
eggs have never been seen. An Eng.
lish zoologist kept man going up and
down the coast of Labrador for weeks
purposely to get robin snipe's egg,
but it was in vain. The bird is known
by thousands of people, but 1t breeds
so far north and so remote from any
civilization that no scientific observer
can ever get to it's nest ere the young
are hatched and have taken to wing,
The frigate bird that is so commonly
seen at sea on the Pacific and off the
West Indies is such solitary bird
and is so seldom seen in its nest dur.
ing the hours of daylight that its egG
is rare 1t seems strange, but the
eggs of so well known bird as thc
sandpiper have never been found and
are almost priceless.-London Globe.

logy, Harrisburg, requesting an ef-
fective means of ridding his prem

lowing detailed information is given

"One of the most successful means
of destroying the English sparrow is
to poison millet seed by soaking il

some of these poisoned seeds in ten

can get at them to eat, but where
they will not be dropped on the

Agriculture and Forestry Involved.
According to Prof. Glenn the
problems thus studied geologically
must find their solution in methods
that relate largely to forestry and
to agriculture. The agricultural
problem involves the selection of
the areas best suited for agriculture
because of fertility and character of
soil and moderate slope of surface
and the study of the ways in which
such areas may best be handled to
prevent their own destruction
through erosism, as we'll as the de-
struction of other lands and proper
ty by the waste material they de-
post and the floods they help to gen.
crate.
Much of the area is not properly
agricultural land and should not be
cleared and forced into agricultur-
al use, because that forcing means
quick destruction both of the area
itself and of the lower-lying areas
on the same streamways. Such mis-
use means also slower but none the
less sure interference with navigar
tion on the more remote parts OF the
major stream systems.
The forester would protect steep
slopes by keeping them clothed with
timber, coax back tree growth on de-
! nuded areas, keep down forest fires,
protect and perpetuate the supply of
hard wood, protect the game and
| fish, and enhance the beauty and
charm of the region as health and
| pleasure resort, as well as prevent
the navigable streams that flow from
these mountains from filling up with
/ the sand and silt whose removal is
now costing annually large sums of
money.
Prof Glenn gives also an account
of study made in the basin of
Monongahela River in West Virginia
and Pennsylvania soon after the
great flood of March, 1907, which
destroyed millions of dollars worth
of property.

sional Paper 70 of the United States

EROSION IN THE SOUTHERN

Mountain Areas Constituting the

Rivers.
A report of an exploration in the

derbilt University, just published by
the United States Geological Survey,
is a timely contribution to a subject
now engaging wide public attention.

ested in the best utilization of the
great Appalachian watershed the

ton yet presented on the subject,

of expert field investigation.
4 Story OF Ruined Lands.
The purpose of Prof Glenn's study
was to note the extent and the ef-
fects, and so far as possible the
causes, of erosion in the region eX-
amined and to determine the means
of preventing the widespread evil
results of unwise agriculture and
numbering. Accordingly, he travel
ed from stream valley to stream val

noting and recording with great eX-
actness hillside and mountain side

outlying and soil burial by overwash,
stream clogging and stream over
flow, the filling of mill ponds and
the wrecking of dams and bridges
and numerous other evils that are at
tributed by many observers, in large
part, to reckless deforestation and
injudicious attempts to cultivate
slopes that are not adapted to agri'
culture.
Investigations Made In Eight States
Prof. Glenn's studies included
parts of eight States-Pennsylvania
Virginia, West Virginia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia, Ten
nessee and Alabama. In the course
of the study it was noted that steer
slopes formed of certain rocks coult
