$4,000 for it several years ago. The

The securing of various kinds of
hawks eggs involved thrilling expert
ences. AS hawks make their nest in
the highest trees it takes a man of
unusual skill and daring to obtain them
After the eggs are taken out of the
nest they are placed in a bag packed
with straw or grass and the bag Is
carefully lowered to the ground by
means of a rope in order to avoid any
possibility of the eggs breaking.
Securing eagles eggs, too, meant
work and danger. In some cases nests
built on lodges on the mountains were
accessible only from above, and to Sc
cure the eggs Mr.. Christ lowered G.

eggs in this way the mother eagle re-
turned to the nest and flying at the

She did manage to tear piece of flesh
from his face. s
The collection as 1t stands TODAY
includes between 400 and 500 different
varieties of eggs, but there are thou
sands of duplicates They range from
the tiny eggs of humming birds to
the monster African ostrich eggs. There
are eggs from every continent, large
and small of all hues and colors and
many of them of species now extinct.
Some of the eggs are said to be the
only specimens of their kind in ex-

almost chorus-like,, and surprising in
Its unanimity. AS the old farmer
commented when he beheld Tor the
first time a camel in circus menag-
erie-"there. air no such ,animuleD-
so came the verdict of these eminent
scientists on the question; "Are
West Virginians very strong for this
conservation business?nT "a sh-
OF course this verdict may be APP
pealed to a higher trlbunal-from the
rathskeller to the buffet up stairs, for
instance-but from the size of the
delegation here from West Virginia
ostensibly to attend the Conservation
Congress, it does look as If West Vir-
ginians aren't very much aroused over
the question OF conservation. AS a mat
ter of fact, 1t hasn't attracted more
than passing interest in West Virginia
since Pinchot, or whoever 1t was, dis
covered 1t, Leading men in that state
have, It Is we1Is known, interested
themselves in the matter Of conserving
some of the states natural resources.
but not with the view particularly of
saving them for posterity, hut for the
use and benefit OF the people of the
state who are now living. This is
more particularly true as to natural
gas than of the states other re-
sources. Their activity; with regard
to the letter was to see..that they paid
to the state fair return in taxation
when they were taken out and away
for market. That was what brought
about a new system of tax reform in
West Virginia led by Governors White
and Dawson. The conservation of
natural gas proper, and as to making
its producers pay adequately to the
state, is still unsettled, while the con-
servation of the water power OF the
state has Just become an issue of pub
lie interests within the last year.
Why there isn't any great and wide
spread concern over the question of
conservation in West Virginia, as the
issue is stated by the congress in ses-
sion here thisrweek, is probably due
to the fact that that state is still a
new state, and has only felt the pros
perity of general development during
the last twenty years, with all Its at
tendant thrills, ambitions, pride and
wealth. 1t feels itself too new a state,
and its resources still sufficiently
great to feel no anxiety about 1t, to
even begin to think OF outstanding Its
rich treasures. 1t hasn't grown to
the size 1t wants to grow yet, nor Is
Ii as rich as 1t desires to be.
But, whatever the cause and why
fore the reason, there is more than
the small delegation, of genuine con-
Eservationists here frorniWest Virginia
this week, to indicate that the com
servation question hasn't kept pace in
West Virginia with other progressive
questions. In fact. it appears to be
bringing up the rear, and pretty far
in the rear, at that.

FUTURES FAIL TO
BULL ON BAD MAP
Crop News Also BulIish, but Longs
and Ring Hammer, Discounting
Cold and Wet Weather.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-with killing
frost in Oklahoma and heavy frost
throughout the Western belt and rains
in the Central States, coupled with
strong Liverpool cables, the cotton mar
ket opened steady to-day with prices
net unchanged TO 6 points higher than
the closing quotations of Saturday.
There was considerable buying on the
opening on prospects that the cold
wave in the Western belt would extend
into the Eastern belt tonight, but
prices only increased the early advance
2 points.
On the bulge December reached a
new high mark, rallying to 14.12. jan
uary sold at 1885, which was 2 points
higher than the previous record of the
season. Prices held steady around the
opening level for a few minutes, but it
soon was apparent that the market
again lacked buying power. However,
Liverpool gave the cue for higher
prices ,,t 81 cabling the fgll advance dye;
seemed to be that the cola spell has
been discounted to some extent. En-
couraged by the lack of resistive power
the market displayed. bears sold with
confidence throughout the early trading.
The ring hammered near positions on
hard spots. Wall street also sold. The
only buying came mainly from the
leading bull forces, of which some was
attributed to spot houses. Disappoint-
ed longs who had bought around the
top came in on the selling side and
prices dropped 6 to 10 points from the
previous close.
Despite the detailed weather map
showing very low temperatures through
out Texas and reports from the central
belt of the most pessimistic character,
coupled with practically all crop advlces
elsewhere bearing bullish complexion,
renewal of early ~alling during the
early afternoon. contributed mainly to
longs, based on Liverpool reporting
spots pressed for sales. Later the Eng
lishmen were noticeable on the selling
side. The result was rapid de cline
from the initial wave. October fell to
