joyed to get rid of it.
Mr.. Duke was also delighted because
of Mrs. Dukes particular fondness for
low houses. This feature of Crewe
house, which is only two stories high,
greatly pleased Mr.. and Mrs. Duke,
who will undoubtedly buy the place
unless the price asked by the marquis
is too high.

seems to rebound to her credit, espe
cially when her departure from un-
conventional paths is along humani-
tartan lines. A case in point is DR.
Arley Munson. a young American wo-
man who, after having acquired a thor
ough training and taken her NJ. d. de-
gree, set sail for India to see what she
could do with her up-to-date methods
in that far-off country, where foreign
doctors are few and native doctors
not always able to combat disease.
For five years DIR. Munson worked in
India. not in the big cities, nor towns,
but in villages and, the jungles. and
she battled with the ailments of the
half-starved natives with extraordi-
nary success. Not only did she give
her own service, but she established

her time in them, for she travelled
alone for days and nights, fighting
plaques and pestilences. She had ex-
periences and adventures such as fall
to the lot of few women.
When DIR. Munson's friends asked
her why did you leave the splendid
opportunities of your own country for
the discomforts and dangers of far
off pagan land?" she felt inclined to
make the submissive reply heard so
frequently from the lips of the meek
voiced women of India; "Kismet,
Adrushtam! 1t was my destiny How
else should / find peace?"
The desire to visit India and help
the natives seized DIR. Munson when
she was a small child, for on turning
the leaves of mission book she found
an illustration representing a Hindu
mother throwing her baby into the
gaping jaws of a crocodile as sacri-
flee to the gods. The child asked her
mother what the dreadful picture
meant, and when it was explained to
her she hid her fearful face, and with
her heart swelling with sorrow and
pity she resolved to hurry and grow
up that she might go out to India and
save those poor little babies.
In the years that followed she stu
died the history of India and learned
the tragedy of the existence of the wo-
men of that country. so that the smol-
dering resolve of her childhood famed

the flag system has the advantage of
being comparatively inexpensive to in
stall and maintain, it is not in gen.
eral use, since in large cities the flags
are quickly discolored, and on account
of the prevailing smoke and haze it
soon becomes difficult to distinguish
them.
The Interpretation of these displays
may be more easily mastered II 1t is
kept in mind that the meaning is con-
ditioned on the color and form of the
flag; thus a white flag, if displayed
alone, means clear or fair weather,
with practically no change in temper
ature; a blue flag alone indicates gen
eral rain or snow, with stationary
temperature; flag composed of
equal portions of white and blue
indicates local rain or snow, as con-
trasted with general rain or snow. A
triangular flag is used to indicate tenn
perature changes When displayed
above any one of the flags already
mentioned it indicates rising temper
ature; when below, falling tempera-
ture.
Forecasts of decidedly lower tenn
perature, or much colder, are indi-
Gated By the display of the cold wave

Without the annual census the ex-
tent of the benefit derived from the
law will not be known. If it is found
that from year to year the ducks are
increasing it will, of course, show the
law is beneficial. It will also furnish
data for necessary changes in the law
and regulation. If 1t is discovered
that some species are being wiped out
in spite of the law. then more strict
regulation will be needed; but If it is
found that the several species are in

bacterial disease. and the biological
survey co-operated with the bureau OF
animal industry. department of agri'
culture. in investigating the matter.
In some of the birds, traces of cocci-
diosis were found, but as rule, the
internal organs were in healthy con-
dition. AS a result the department au
thorities arrived at the conclusion
that the cause of the great destruc.
tion was poison.
The mortality among the ducks is
always greater after rain, showing
that possibly some poison was washed
in the feeding grounds. Quite q num-
Der of the streams of the locality are
connected in some way with the smell

papers have been calling attention to
the poisoning of stock and the de-
struction of certain plants along these
streams.
One thing is known, that is the
cause of the tremendous loss is not a

When It is considered that ducks
