172 Water street, sample of the work
of beavers, which shows that these ami
mails can do when 1t comes to telling
trees. The sample in question was saw
ed from the top of a stump of birch
tree which the beavers had felled on the
North branch of Sandy stream, in Pis-
cataquis county and sent to him by his
brother, Eddie TarrIo of Madison, who
was at the time working on the drive.
The piece of birch is about Is inches
across, one way, and the marks made
by the teeth Of the beavers on the wood
look as If IL had been done by chisels.
Mr. Tarrio thinks that about eight of
the animals were engaged in Telling the
trees. He also states that after the ami
mails had felled the tree they cut Off an
other section of the butt about seven
feet In length, and rolled 1t a distance OF
200 feet into the brook where they were
building their dam.

nit it in business-like manner to

to find fault, but it's lot harder to
