so many insects burrow into trees

birds-the woodpeckers-have been
developed to dig them out. The bills.

Notwithstanding the fact that
acreage under cultivation in the
United States is larger than ever be-

the cost of foodstuffs continually
mounts upward. Meanwhile the de-
struction of farm and orchard crops
by insects and by rodents amounts to
many millions each year. If any part
OF this loss can be prevented it will be
so much clear gain. Since birds per-

effort should be made to protect
them. This can be done by furnish

sanctuaries where birds may be rea-

breed in absolute security as far as
man is concerned.

may be mentioned the element of
safety from cats. Friendly overtures
TO birds from householders who re-

FREAKISH WEATHER
UNUSUAL CONDITIONS PREVAIL.
ED THROUGHOUT THE CoUN-
TRY THIS WEEK.

Today closes a week of unusua
weather conditions throughout tn,
country. In this section there ha!
been an unprecedented rainfall. 1t be
ing conservatively estimated that the
precipitation has been six inches OF
more during the week. There has
been little damage from wind. but
perhaps o. or less damage will re.
suit from water standing in low
places i'm grain fields.
Reports from Codington. Grant and
Day counties are to the effect that
from $4,000 to $4,000 damage re-
suited from high winds. Many large
barns were wrecked, the wind being
followed by heavy dOwnpours OF
rain.
Thursday seemed to be the freak
day of the week.
An Ogden, Utah, dispatch states
that with a rain so heavily loaded
with salt as a result of a heavy wind
across Great Salt Lake, a storm broke
over Ogden about 1880 o'clock and
the atmosphere changed to a briny
smell, while pedestrians hurried un-
der cover to protect their clothing
from the spots that result from such
atmospheric phenomena. An cleo
trical storm preceded the rain, but
did no damage.
Other unusual conditions prevailed
from Pennsylvania to the Pacific
coast, At Somerset, Pa, six persons
were injured, one probably fatally.
and a number of buildings destroyed
by a terrific storm of wind, rain and
lightning.
At Green Bay, Wis, scores of fami-
lies were driven from their homes
and many others were held prisoners
as a result of an electrical storm that
later struck Chicago. which was &C.
.companied by a heavy rainfall.
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma
reported a heat wave accompanied by
the highest temperatures of the year
Many prostrations are reported from
those states.
Reports from northern Ohio show
two dead and two injured in a storm
that swept that portion of the state.
Oregon reported hail, snow and
heavy winds that gave the state the
appearance of December rather than
June, while st. Louis was suffering
the hottest day of the year. street

SERVICE OF THE BIRDS.
Washington, June 6.-New light is
shed on the activities of birds as con-
servers of the public health in a
communication to the National Geo.
graphic society from Henry w. Hen
shaw, chief of the biological survey
The survey for a considerable period
has been studying the foods of birds
by examining the stomach of speci-
mems killed for scientific purposes.
THE value of birds to the farmer
is plain enough, but we do not usual
ly think of birds as having any di-
writes Mr.. Henshaw. ITO prove that
they do, however, it is only necessary
to state that 500 mosquitoes have
been found in the stomach OF a sim
gle n~ighthawk; that in a killdeer's
stomach hundreds of the larvae of
the salt marsh mosquito have been
found, and that many shore birds
greedily devour mosquito larvae. AS
mosquitoes are known to carry the
germs of such serious diseases as ty-
phoid, malaria and dengue fever, 1T

ed that not infrequently ticks are eat
en- by birds, and that the tick which
is responsible for the spread of Texas
fever among cattle has been frequent

In considering the many kinds of
birds in the United States from the
practical side. they may not inaptly
be called a police force of the air.
the chief duty of which is to restrain
within bounds the hordes of insects
that il unchecked would devour every
green thing. To accomplish this task
successfully, the members of the
force must be v~ariously equipped. As
