SENT BY WHOSE HAhD7
WINGED MESSENGER SAVED
LIVES OF SAILORS.
Bird Practically Forced Captain to, Al.
ter Course et His Vessel and Thus
Effect tho Rescue Of Drown.
Ing Men.

Tho following story was published
by sea captain In "Aftonbladet" of
Stockholm recently. There are many
people still living In Arendal who re.
member the occurrence which Ia here
described.
One dark night severa! years ago a
sailing vessel from Arendal, Norway,
was crossing the north Atlantic. on
Its Ta5' from America to England.
There was g. stroLs eas. ,sind agains
which the ship was tacking. AS 1t
drew toward eight bells in the even.
Ing, the captain was walking back and
forth on the bridge, trying to make up
his mind whether to put about or to
continue on the same course for an.
other watch or two.
AS he walked he suddenly received
blow on his chest, which, he discoy.
cred. had been dealt by a sea bird.
Then his winged assailant quickly dis,
appeared to leeward.
A few moments later the captain
was Just giving the command to turn
the vessel when he again received a
blow In the chest from the same mes.
senger. Then the bird disappeared as
before In a southwesterly direction.
After this had been repeated several
moro times. the bird, after each blow
flying off toward the southwest, the
captain. who thought there must be
something supernatural in the matter
decided to follow the bird. Instead of
turning back. he caused the boats
course to be, sent toward the south.
west. This was no sooner done than
the bird settled down on the shipa
ealing beside the captain.
The boat now sailed at great pace
before, the strong wind. But although
sharp watch was kept aft as we'll as
forward. half the night passed and
y nothing unusual was discovered.
y The crew began to Joke about the
"old mans" maneuyer, and the cap.
tain himself doubted the wisdom OF
continuing to sail out OF his course
losing distance which great deal OF
tacking would be required to regain.
At o'clock In the morning he was
on the point of giving the order tc
turn again. when the lookout on the
foreyard sung out that he saw a glow
as Of fire ahead.
All the waning interest woke again

MAPLE SUGAR PRODUCTION
Process Discovered BY lndians-Bet-
ter Grades Made Recently

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-From the
time the earliest explorers discover
ed Indians making sugar from the
maple tree until the present day, the
production of maple sugar has been
an important industry in the United
States is the interesting information
contained in Farmers Bulletin 516,
soon TO be issued by Secretary VII
son.
The industry is purely American
Canada being the only country out
side of the United States that pro.
duces the product The bulletin says:
Maple sugar and maple syrup are
considered delicacies and are not pro
duced in such quantities as formerly.
The aggregate of all pure maple pro-
ducts and the many imitation may be
the same. for il is said that were all
the maple trees cut down and thus
the supply of maple sap cut off, no
drop of the quantity of syrup or sug-
ar would be noted Within the last
six or seven years there has been q
renewed tendency toward the pTOduc-
tion of a better grade of maple prod
ucts.
Maple syrup or maple sugar pre-
pared by the best method is a light
colored, pleasant-tasting product. Con
trary characteristics are the possibly
sour sap in SO cases out of a 100, and
were manufacturers to take greater
care in their methods their results
would show Improvements. This bet
ter grade may have been accustomed
TO the dark, stronger grades
In relation to the present growth OF
the sugar maple the bulletin states:
within its wide range the sugal
maple appears as a predominant tree,
only in the New England states, New
York, southern Canada. northern and
western Pennsylvania and in parts of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Wis
consin, and Minnesota. In the south
ern Appalachians it occurs in scatter
ed bodies where climate conditions
are similar to those of the North.
in the extreme northern part of
New York state and the adjacent dis
trict of Quebec the forest growth is
often almost pure maple, and even
considerably further south, where
beech and birch become associate
trees, the sugar maple holds its own
as the dominant species
In northern Pennsylvania at an al
titude of over 1000 feet, the mixture
is much the same as il is in New
York. In Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois
a similar condition is found; but as
the hilly country disappears the ma
pie retreats to the richer and dampeI
soils leaving great areas to the oaks
and chestnuts."
