now on the retired list. did most Of the collect
ing of feathered big game and small game. DIR.
Mearns is one of the worlds foremost ornith'
ologists While he was stationed with the troops
in the far west he made a special study OF the
birds of the sections In which he happened to be.
and on several occasions he was authorized by
Uncle Sam to join scientific expeditions or
ganzed to make investigations and collections in
new territories.
1t is welf known that In a general way the
more soberly clad birds are the best songsters.
For instance. take the hemit thrush and the
hooking bird of America. They are both dressed
in homespun but they have voices of the kind
which people call fortunes In themselves.
There are some sober clad birds in the tropics
and there as elsewhere they are the better
singers.
In America We have a bird called the shrike

which Is about the size of q red-winged black
bird the swamp blackbird known to every coun-
try boy. The shrike preys on smaller BIRDS ON

a handsome bird 1t is by no means OF oriiiiaht
attire.
The African shrikes which DIR. Mearns. col
lected and in which Theodore Roosevelt showed
n marked interest on the day in which he went
through the museum, are perhaps among the
most brilliant colored birds Of the world. They
are not unlike the American scarlet tanaser only
the scarlet is Of the kind that seems to burn the
sight Colonel Roosevelt has been having lit
tie controversy with Scientist Abbott II. Thayer
over the question Of the protective coloration OF
birds and mammals. MIR. Thayer. in general
way thinks that most animals have colora-
ticn which protects them in a measure from
discovery 1t is known that this is perfectly true
Of some kinds Of wild creatures. but Mr. Thayer
thinks that even brilliantly plumaged birds are
protected Colonel Roosevelt on the day OF his
visit to the museum held up one of the shrikes
in its scarlet attire and said ironically. There's
q fine example of protective coloration Look
ing at the bird one might readily believe that
against a background of green leaves it would
be the first object In the landscape to attract
attention.

think that three species were included in the
captures. Now 1t must be understood that when
the expedition went into Africa 1t was agreed
that there should be no kill beyond the actual
needs Of science except o: 'urse when 1t was
necessary to kill game to supply the game table
with food. The rule was that when a certain
number Of mammals or birds Of each kind had
been killed the shooting must stop and the num-
Der fixed was very small. although Of course this
regulation did not apply to destructive animals
like the beasts Of prey. mice and other crop de-
stroying rodents.
The rule which Mr.. Roosevelt insisted upon
and in which the others readily acquiesced was
lived I'D to the letter. When DR.. Mearns had Sc
cured a fixed number Of storks he wanted to get
one more becar he thought there was some
point which might be decided II he could add
another stork to the collection. He told Colonel
Roosevelt he was going to kill another stork.
The colonel laughed and said. so 1t is reported:

suicide pronouncement may account for his de-
yotion to the interests Of the stork
When We were ready to leave the museum DR..

of the collection brought back from Africa. turn
ed to Colonel Roosevelt and said: There can
be no possibility Of mistake in saying that the
expedition which you led was the means of Civ

valuable collection of African animals which
exists in the whole world. Science has profited

ten MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST By 1920



The prediction IL made that before
1920 Manitoba. Saskatchewan. Al
berta and British Columbia win have
ten million people. II Is made not By
q sanguine Western Journal but By
that very sober business newspaper.
the New. York Commercial. II -
based upon actual observation. upon
the wheet-growing capacity Of the ca
madam West. and upon the prospects
Of development following tho build
Ing Of railways. Tho writer shows
how the position Of leading wheat
market Of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow-
ing belt is four times greater than
that of the United States. and only
five per cent Of Canada's western agrt
cultural area IL under cultivation.
There are 10000. 900 acres Of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer. more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. Tho
center of food supremacy will change
to Canada. and Is years more will
give this country 10000. 900 popula-
ton west Of Ontario.
All these estimates Of population
are in the nature Of guesses. and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area Of wheat-growing land.
the rapid construction Of railways.
and the large volume Of immigration
are facts which must DO recognized.
They point to the production Of an
ever-increasing surplus Of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly tho
urban. the industrial and commercial
population Of Canada may increase.
the increase Of home consumption Is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production Of wheat: for sim
gle acre of wheat will provide for tho
average annual consumption Of four
people.
While production In Canada Is thus
running ahead Of consumption at
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States II overtaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year. It -
true that the limit Of actual power to
produce wheat ia as yet far away.
BY methods of intensive cultivation.
such as prevail in France, tho produc-
ton could be greatly Increased. But
with the overlooking granary Of Can
ada SO close at hand, II seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to i'm
port from US. turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms OF
agriculture.
It must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada

Roosevelt spoke freely about his trip and told
many anecdotes in connection Herewith which
do not appear in his book and which he did not
tell in his lecture before the National Geographic
Society.
1t is hard to describe adequately the enthu-
siasm of the Oyster Bay hunter over the natural
history treasures which his expedition had Sc
cured for the National Museum and which. much
to the Colonels delight. had arrived in splendid
condition, due largely to the hard driving. pains

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
dsed with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance. l always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case In
particular was that of lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was al
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfgure-
ment looked terrible | told her to get
at once a set of Cut:cura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs.
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum In both palms of her hands
every fall OF the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
he- hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
/ have also seen them cure children
OF ringworm. The children'S faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.

RAILROAD PREPARES FOR STRIKE
The Illinois Central Has Installed
Telephones to Take Place of
Telegraph Operators.

Memphis, worcestershire Illinois
Central railroad laid off all tele-
graph operators at relay stations and
at the headquarters of the Louisville
division at Memphis and at all sta
tons south to New Orleans. Trains
are being operated by telephone, by
means of system installed two years
ago which has gradually been con-
nected with local stations and general
offices. This movement is believed to
be a demonstration to the operators
that trains can be, operated without
telegraph. The order will affect the
entire system.
The telegraphers two weeks ago be-
gan taking a referendum vote, the re-
suit of which was to determine wheth-
er or not strike would be ordered.
