SEEMS THAT INSTINCT ERRS
In Oil Pipes In California
Birds Grave Error.

That almost unerring instinct which
carries animals through grave dan
gers has led in many instances in the
Midway and Sunset oil fields of Cali
fornia to their undoing, the Scientific
American remarks. Chief among such
victims are rabbits and water fowl
A jackrabbit and cottontail find a
nice round, smooth hole. There are
many such in the oil fields where oil
piping is a necessity for the transpor-
tation of oil to the refineries. The rab-
bits decide to set up housekeeping
there. The cottontail desires a per-
manent home, and the jackrabbit
wants a refuge safe from malevolent
man.
Soon they discover their habitat is
being moved. No doubt they are
frightened, but they instinctively stay
within their retreat. One end of the
hole is closed. Even then they do not
leave. Soon the other end of the hole
is darkened. Then it is darkness
eternal for the furry pair.
Some time later it is discovered that
newly laid oil pipe is choked. After
great labor the line is disjointed and
the remains of many rabbits removed.
Thousands of rabbits have been thus
exterminated In the oil fields.
The death rate among water fowl is
even greater. Again, as with the rab.
bits, instinct leads them to certain de-
struction. Every little lake Of oil in
the vicinity Of gusher is a trap for
the unthinking birds. At twilight and
dawn these tar-colored lakes appear as
bodies of water to the deluded fowl.

FRENCH WAR LOAN
CALLED FAILURE

Berlin, Dec 2S.-Characterizing the
French war loan as G failure, Berlin
newspapers say the probable result
will be that the French republic in
future will not subscribe to treasury
bonds and that therefore the govern
ment will be Obliged either to issue
a new war loan, Notwithstanding Enfa-
vorable conditions, or to borrow from
the Bank of France
The Norddeutsche Allge meine Eel
tung says the amount actually sub
scribed, considering the issue price,
was equivalent to 10 G00,000.0Q0 marks
as compared INVITA- 25,500.000,00O
marks subscribed to the German war
loans. The amount paid in cash, It
says, is less than. one-sixth OF the cash
paid on German war loans.
