This is the sea son Of the year when
the bird students are abroad in the
early morning for the purpose of study
ing these feathered visitors in their
native haunts, and to welcome them
back after their absence in the South
during the winter months. Many Of
the birds with which we all are famil-
lar have returned and are now prepar-
ing to set up housekeeping for the
summer. while there have also been
seen others which are more rare be-
cause they only make a brief stop here
on the spring migration to their breed
ing places farther north One Augusta
young lady, however, while out Sun
day morning with a friend at Halo
well, saw a bird which, according to
her description Of it, has not yet been
identified. The bird was seen through
some field glasses and the young lady
says it was about the size CT q robin
and was brown on the back, grayish
on the under parts, had a fcrked tail,
q head like g chicken, and its beak was
spoon-shaped. The bird had been seen
in Hallowell once before this spring,
but though the bird book has been
carefully studied by the young ladys
friend, no bird which would fit the
above description has been found

TRACTS CLEARED OF MALARIA
Gratifying ProgreSs Has Been Made
by Those Interested In Conquer
ina the Disease.

Malaria, to which children are sus-
ceptible, has been made largely pre-
ventable disease by a study of the
mosquito carrier. its breeding places
and natural history, and by inocula-
ton experiments on animals and man.
1t was proved by Italian observers
that the mosquito disseminates bird
malaria in the same manner as In the
human subject.
The final upshot of these investiga-
tions has been that large tracts of
hitherto waste and dangerous land
have been rendered safe and produc-
tive. A widespread cause of debilitat-
ing sickness, and even of death, has
thus been removed.
In such areas the saddest sight has
been the stunted, anemic children,
with enlarged livers and spleens. the
evidences of chronic malarial poison
ing. that can now be obviated by put
ting modern knowledge into effect.

Some commotion When Inter
ested Ones Appeared.

fort OF Judge Wallace of the Kansas
City criminal court to enforce rigidly
the Sunday blue laws. He had or
dered the Indictment and arrest OF all
keepers of shops. stores and parks, as
well as all actors and other perform
ers. One of the places Of amusement
was a hippodrome of wild animals,
and in its zeal the grand jury had In
dicted number OF actors at this place
on information furnished by witnesses
employed there. Warrants were issued
and the marshal was directed to bring
the indicted ones before the bar.
Call Mary Garden. said the judge.
Mary Garden!" yelled the deputy
marshal.
There was an appreciable delay. and
then suddenly the door opened and
into the crowded court room came two
men dragging. at the end Of powerful
chains, an angry lioness. who ex-
pressed her disapproval Of the situa-
tion by emitting deafening roar.
When the stampede was stopped and
order restored the oyerenthusiastic
Judge found that he had caused the
Indictment OF some hundred or more
animals. Including lions, tigers. leop-
ards, hyenas. dogs. cats and pigs, all
OF which were at the court house
entrance creating such disturbance
that the whole neighborhood had gone
into state of siege.-New York Sun.
