BIRD STUDY
A Series of Articles on the
Habits of Birds That
Visit Madison
GOLD WINGED WOODPECKER


While the Gold Winged Woodpeck-
Ell is not plentiful in Madison he lie
often seer in different portions of the
city. A pair have for several years
past made their nesting place high up
in the east gable of the United Luther
an church. corner Blanche avenue and
Eighth street. having drilled a hole
through the ~cornice for an entrance.
For two years they attempted to nest
in the hollow of a tree near the
church but were disturbed by boys in
this less protected place and returned
to their safer quarters in the church
cornice.
Though the Gold Hinged Wood
pecker, generally speaking, is migrs-
tory, yet they often remain north
during the entire winter, in wooded
localities. They inhabit the continent
of north America from Hudson's Bay
to Georgia. They generally arrive
here the first days of April and leave
dur ng the month of September.
They GET their name from the golden
color of their shafts, and the lower
side of the wings. The bird has
numerous appellations in different To-
cslities, such as High-Hole, from the
situation of his nest, and Hittucks,
Yucker, Pint, Yellow Hammer, etc.
Most of these names have probably
originated from a fanciful resemblance
| OF it's notes to the sound of words for
the most common cry OF the Gold
| Winged W~ooipecker consists of two
notes OF syllables, often repeated,
which. by the help OF the hearers
imagination, may seem to resemble
any of then.
The bird usually builds his nest in
April, high up in the hollow body or
branch of a tree if possible. The
female lays FIVE or six white, almost
transpare MT, eggs, very thick at one
end and tapering suddenly toward the
other. The young leave the nest early,
climbing to the higher branches where
they are fed by the parents. Their
plumaee in It's color and markings 1e-
sembles the parent birds, with the ex-
!ception that the colors are less bril-
liant, and the dots appear less fire.
quently on tie breasts of the young
than on those If the cid birds. The
food varies according to seasons, and
Consists of worms, berries, seeds,
etc. Formerly he was clsssed with
the Cuckoos, but as a matter of fact
ne has no resemblance to them. The
tongue is constructed like that of all
the Woodpeckers, and he has no re-
semtlance to the Cuckoo, except that
two of his toes are placed before aud

The go-to-church Sunday of Madison
was so great a success that the young
people of our churches have decided to
have a Go-to young people-meetiue-
Sunday. Sunday, March 90. has been
set aside for this day. The young
people are making special efforts for
that evening and are preparing a
special pIogrsm for the service. This
is not just the effort of one society but
the united effort of the several societies
interested. You are urged to go to
your own society that evening. 1t is
hoped that the effort may be fruitful
not only for the one night but that it
may have Wholesome influences upon
the societies for the coming days.

PUNISHED WOMAN
Archaeology Relics Destroyed by
Vandals

Pierre, March 21.-Perhsps the most
interesting archaeological remains left
by the anciepts in South Dakota were
the effigies of the Punished Woman
and her paramour near South Shore,
Codington county, on the banks of the

W~atertown, to visit Punished Woman's
lake aud secure accurate drawings and
information of these afigies, and upon
going there last week discovered that
vandals had utterly destroyed them.
MI. Tarbell is now engaged in an
effort to secure from the early settlers
complete information as to the loca-
ton, size and form of these efigies
for an article which he will CON

PEAFOWL 1875 DEAD:
BAROMETER IS GONE,

GLASGOW, KY, Sept. 17,-(SplD =
The famous old peafowl at Barren and
Metcalfe-cos, is dead at the age of 135
years. Peafowls are long-lived birds.
They have been known to reach 200
years
In 1895 this particular peafowl was
brought to the wilderness of Kentucky
from Fauquier-co., Va, by Col. Horatio
Thompson, kinsman of C. w. Thomp-
son, Sulphur Wells, KY.
The old bird lived on the same farm
for almost a century. He roasted on a
certain limb of giant oak and his
loud voice was barometer for the
neighborhood. In the summer his
screams were danger signals for com.
ing storms; in the winter they uner-
ringly presaged SHOWS forms and sleet.
Four of his owners of different genera
ton passed away.
The history of this bird shows that he
was great-great-grand-fa when
George Washington was President, and
thus lived under every President of the
United States.
The bird was old when Napoleon
Bonaparte was Corporal. He was
older than the State of Kentucky. His
body was buried near Peafowl School
house, which was named in his honor.

building up to the present time has
been largely a question of borrowing
money enough upon long time obliga-
tons to complete the road. but We
are rapidly approaching the point
where, from the multitude of obliga-
tons assumed, the question will be
how can these obligations be paid
rather than how obtained

If the time ever comes when the prob

RAILWAY LAYS OFF 10000
Ten per Cent Of Pennsylvania En-
ployes Lose Jobs

Philadelphia, March 25.-The Pen
nsylyania Railroad Company since
the closing weeks Of last year has
laid OFF $1,000 employees on the lines
east of Pittsburgh. AS the company
normally employs 100000 men ON
these lines. more than 10 per csat of
the total force has been thrust into
the ranks OF the wholly idle.
In addition OF the approximately
125,OO0 persons still retained or the
payrolls of the Eastern lines, 4G,O0v
or nearly one-third, have been placed
on part time. Two hundred clerks
have been discharged at Broad
Street Station within a day or two.
Altogether, counting dismissals,
layoffs and short time orders, a 20
per cent reduction in round figures
has been effected in the working
hours of skilled and unskilled labor
on the Pennsylvania Eastern lines,
and wage payments have been cut ac-
cordingly.

our Hlahway poIleies Vindlcated

"The States 10000 miles of maca-
dam roads, now being built, will be
worn out forty years before they are
paid for" is the message, not OF Yer
mont's executive. but of Governor
Glynn of the Empire State. The au-
thorities of our neighboring common
wealth are evidently coming to rea-
ize' that it is one thing to build so
called permanent crushed stone
roads under high pressure. but alto
gether another thing to pay for them
New York Is State of magnificent
distances" and the $100000,000 in
process of being spent viii provide
only a few trunk lines. which have al
ready begun TO disintegrate even
where only several years in use.
Reference to the annual reports of
State Highway Commissioner Charles
w. Gates shows, on the other hand,
that as long ago as 1906, he had this
to say regarding the kind of roads to
build in Vermont: Wherever the
natural conditions of the soil are suit
able to sustain a good road at all sea
sons of the year, or can be made so
by drainage, and good gravel can be
obtained. the gravel road is recon-
mended as the type of improved
country road best adapted to the re-
Quirements of our State"
In speaking of State aid through
the expenditure Of the socalled FIVE
per cent. tax, the special appropria-
ton of S150,0O0 with which to meet
special appropriations by the respec-
tive towns and the maintenance
fund" growing out of the automobile
tax. which will exceed 100000 this
year, Commissioner Gates says Il
am confident that this policy intelli-
gently carried out will give Vermont
a system of well kept earth and gray
el roads, costing two thousand to
three thousand dollars per mile to
build and from fifty to one hundred
dollars a mile annually to maintain.
which will serve our present purpose
well and give us the foundation for 4
more expensive wearing surface. if
the time should come when we need
il and can afford it,"

ment. writes in March issue of
Good Roads that time was when IL

ty to put gravel roads under the head

short time since he began to see that

conclusion that g is wiser to build

IMPROVES ON RADIUM CURE
Harvard Scientist Invcnts New
Method for Purifying Gases

Cambridge. Mass, March 25.-Dr
William Duane in charge of Har-
wards cancer commission, has made
some inventions which it is believed
will greatly increase the efficiency of
radium in the treatment of disease.
A new method of obtaining and
purifying the gaseous emanations OF
radium is one OF Dr. Duanes discoy-
cries. 1t consists in pumping the i'm
pure emanations through vacuum
tubes in which the mixture is drawn
over a copper wire heated by an cleo
trio current. The new method is con
tinuous and occupies from ten to
fifteen minutes instead OF the three
or four hours necessary under the
old methods and avoids the cost and
bother of handling liquor air
New devices for applying radio
activity in diseased wounds also
make up one group in the new inyen-
tions.
