Beavers Work,

The beavers not only cut down trees
'or the purpose of making dams. but
also use the smaller branches as a
storage supply of food for winter use,
says a writer in Our Dumb Animals.
These branches. from two to four
inches in diameter, are cut into
lengths of two or three feet and then
by wonderful engineering ability are
carried beneath the water and into
the beavers houses. or the burrows
with which the bank of every beav.
ar's dam is honeycombed. Here they
are carefully stored. The green bark
is the staple article Of food throughout
the winter.
The dams are Of varying height and
length. according to the particular 10.
cation. l found a dam In Mesa coun-
ty. Colorado. which was just six feet
from bottom to top and impounded a
body Of water six feet or more In depth
and covering an area of several acres.
This dam was perfect in construction.
1t was composed entirely of willow
bushes. as no large timber grew in the
vicinity.

BOYS ON A STOCK EXCHANGE
Amsterdam Youths Privilege for Dis
covery Of Gunpowder PIot-En-
joyed Nearly 800 Years.

or the many quaint and curious
customs. traditions and privileges pre-
vailing In Holland none Is more ex.
traordinary than a certain privilege
that has been enjoyed by the boys OF
Amsterdam for nearly 800 years. the
Boston Evening Transcript remarks.
At a fixed time each summer these
boys gather by the hundreds in the
great square called the Dam. situated
in the center Of the city. Each boy
has a drum slung over his shoulder.
Facing this square Is the stock ex.

proceed to the floor OF the exchange,
where. pursuant to this old custom,
they are permitted to march about,
singing and beating their drums.
The origin OF this custom. 1t Is said,
Is as follows:
One afternoon of the year 1922 a
crowd Of boys playing In the Dam lost
a ball In the canal that In those days
skirted one side of the square. One
of the lads. while climbing in among
the piles on which the building stood,
found instead of his ball boat moor
ed in dark corner and loaded with
boxes OF gunpowder. This showed
clearly enough what was afterward
ascertained with certainty. the inten.
tion OF the Spanish conspirators to
blow up the stock exchange while II
was crowded. as 1t was every day,
with the leading citizens Of the city.
The boy whp stumbled upon the
gunpowder at once hurried to the
town authorities with his news. The
boatload Of explosives was quietly
sunk In the canal and the Spanish
plot thus frustrated
When the bursesses asked the boy
what reward he desired for the serv.
ice he had rendered the town he re.
