heard the Kendall accusation he pointed

WOODPECKERS GO CRAZY
Storing Pebbles instead Of Acorns In
SOuoma COUNTY, Cal.

Sar Francisco, May 26-Somebody has
been fooliug the woodpeckcrs Of Sonoma
county, or else the birds are suffering
from a mild form Of insanity according
to learned document issued by the
Museum of Vertebrate Zoology of the
University Of California, which says:
THE reason why California voodpcck-
crs in the vicinity of Sonoma mountain
should have stored pebbles instead of
the customary acorns is mystery.
We know that instinct works as auto
matically az an alarm clock In the
failure of an acorn crop It would seem
possible that the woodpecker might in
stinctivcly store some other available
kind of food, but to have chosen stones
instead of some sort of food carried tho
analogy too far.

verdict was the first ever recorded
against him in a criminal court, and 1t
was expected by the legal fraternity that
Justice Seabury would take into consid-
Grafton the fact that the conviction auto
matically Gusts Stilwell from the State
Senate, disbars him as an attorney and
depriVes him OF his right ever again to
hold public office.
The convicted senator received no call
ers during the day. He declined to make
any statement to the newspaper men.

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.
It's a Mistake, Says a Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.

It's Mistake, Says a Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.
German scientists are greatly inter-
ested in a discussion regarding new
phenomena revealed by the aurora
borealis, according to recent Norwe-
gian and German observers. People
living in the northern part of Norway
maintained that they often hear sounds
accompanying the northern lights.
These sounds are described by some
as similar to the cracking of flames.
Accordingly German and Norwegian
scientists started out to investigate
the phenomena. and one of them, olav
Aabakken, has spent long time at
the Hallde observatory in Finmarken.
Aabakken thinks that 1t is very un-
likely that any sound is to be heard
from the northern lights, He MAIN
talns that the human senses are not
to be relied on, especially regarding
the phenomena Of sight.
Aabakken says that the idea Of
sound connected with the northern
lights may result from the fact that
these lights look like flames, and as
people are accustomed to associate the
cracking sound with flames the rath-
er uncritlcal observer Of the blazing
movements Of the aurora borealis is
apt to think that he really hears the
sound Of those fames.-New York

Crude stone Statues.
Huge and grotesque stone images
stand and lie over the fertile surface
of a deserted island far south In the
Pacific. 1t is place that Poe might
have sung into existence or Rider Hag-

than geographical. Easter island,
1000 miles from South America and
1,400 miles east OF Pitcairn island, has
ON all the forty-ive square miles of its
area less than 200 people. But IL has
other inhabitants. great masses Of
rock, 600 in number, each carved into
the semblance of human figure, the
origin of which is mystery. These
statues weigh on an average from ten
to twelve tons each, some Of them
reaching a weight of forty tones. A
few of them stand on strong platforms
400 feet long, and many similar plat
forms stand untenanted.
At the quarry, which is crater for
