WOOD CASE BEFORE
 US. COMMISSIONER

A few days ago the case of Buckley vs. Rato was tried in the commission CTS court at Iditarod
 The plaintiff claimed that he had cut about 54 cords of birch and spruce wood on the right limit of Otter creek, about mile from Flat, before the first day of June, and that the defendant, in the early part Of November, had ap- propriated and taken possession of the wood. The defendant claimed that he was the owner of the wood through purchase of the same from Sheedy and Dempsey.
 An interesting question was raised by the defendants attorney when he claimed that the plaintiff, having had no permit to cut wood upon the public domain of the United States, had no right or title to any wood he might have cut, and could therefore maintain no action against any person who might have taken or destroyed the wood, and that the government still is the owner of the wood and has the present right to take it from anybody in whose possession it may be found.
 After hearing all the testimony Judge Stanton took the case under ad- visement, and it is likely that the matter will finally be disposed of by the district court
 E. Coke Hill appeared for the pIaint- if and Henry Roden represented the defendant

PARROT DISTURBS A CLASS
Bird Becomes Decidedly Profane Dur.
ing Discussion Of English Spar
rows In Central Park.

New York.-There will be only one
species of the bird family in any great
numbers in the parks of the city this
year. according to Donald Burns. keep
er of the aviary in the Central Park
menagerie. He refers to the English
sparrows.
When he told his class of young
sters from the nearby Fifth avenue
houses in his talk that all the best
birds would be scarcer than ever be-
cause of the eyerlncreasing number Of
piratical sparrows, the youngsters
were inspired with a desire to go out
and shoot all they could find. But it
remained for Dick, the parrot who has
recently celebrated his centenary, to
give voice to his feelings in a most de-
termined way.
"Well, I'll be d-d!"
And when that damn" with a big
"D." came from the dignified parrot,
Burns looked aghast.

that?" exclaimed the keeper.
During the last week the window

ELECTRIC CHICKS IS LATEST
Brood Is Hatched by Placing Bulbs in
Ordinary lncubator-As Lively
as Any Others.

Towanda, Pa.-Not satisfied with
being first in butter production in the
north tier, Towanda has the first
brood of chickens ever hatched by
electricity in the state, and perhaps
in the country. It all came about
through the ingenuity of Clarence
Braund, a poultry expert, who is en-
ployed by a local Illuminating COM
pany.
He conceived the idea of substitut.
ing the electric bulb for the uncertain
kerosene lamp, which causes so many
disasters because of the risk of its
starting fire, overheating or going
out.
Taking a common incubator, he sim
ply wired it and used electric bulbs
instead for heat re, and the result was
very satisfactory. All of the eggs but
one hatched out The temperature
was kept even night and day without
any attention on his part, and the
chicks are as lively as aoy ever
hatched.
So pleased is the Illuminating com
pany with the experiment that it has
the chicks in the display window of
its office. 1t is likely that the old
method of using lamps for heat will
be relegated and that chickens of the
future will be hatched by the steady
current from the main plant.
