FOUND RARE BIRDS
Vermont Botanists and Bird En-
thusiasts Made Interesting DiscOv-
cries During Midsummer Meet

The annual meeting of the Yer
mont Botanical and Bird Clubs here
last week was the largest attended
midsummer meeting of those organi-
cations yet held. Although the heavy
rain of Thursday necessitated a
change in the program of that day
the trips were very successful and
the scientists found some very un-
usual birds and flowers in this vi
cinity. The fox sparrow, a bird that
lives much farther north than this
was found on the high lands in Dan
Vile and Lunenburg They explain
ed their presence by the fact that the
high altitude in these towns gave the
birds the cool homes that they usual
ly find in the northern regions. Many
new botanical finds of interest also
rewared the searchers in their tramps,
among them two new hepatica at
Willoughby.
There was total attendance of AZ,
including 10 naturalists from Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, including
representative from the New Eng
land Federation of Natural History
Societies, the New England Botani-
cal Club and of the botanical depart
ment of several colleges. w. E.
Balch of Lunenburg gave the party a
charming day in Lunenburg and did
much to make the meeting the great
success it was.
The Tuesday trips were very sue
cessful, a party spending the morn
ing in Danville with Mrs. Chauncey
Adams and Mrs. Hardy as guides.
They explored three cool bogs there
for orchids and found a number of
the snowy lady's slippers, the small
northern bog orchis and tway blade.
A favorite fern habitat was also Wis
tied by some. Nesting birds were
also seen on this trip. In the after
noon Mr.. Balch directed a trip in the
Fairbanks woods pointing out birds
and flowers.
On Wednesday two trips were TAX
en-, one party going to East Barnet by
train and the other to Willoughby
Lake by auto. At Willoughby Miss
Lorenz of Hartford discovered two
hepatica new to Vermont fora:
Lophozia heterocoIp1a and L. longi-
dens. Several rare specimens from
the subalpine zone were found there
also The party at East Barnet eX-
plored the north shore of the Connec-
ticut and some forded the river to
investigate the vegetation of the
first large island at the junction of
the Passumpsic and the Connecticut
Yellow Tipped ladies tresses and
false asphodel and many interesting
forms of the transitional zone of
northern fora were found.
Thursday was spent at the Muesum
instead of on Saddleback on account
of the rain. The latter part of the
afternoon 20 went to Miss Howe's
farm for supper where a very pleas
ant house party was held. The party
at the Museum had afternoon tea and
a social hour. Thursday evening
there was a business meeting for the
election of new members and other
business.
Friday a party Of "a went to Lun-
enburg and with Mr.. Balch as guide
explored the woods and swamps above

BOY STRUCK BY AUTO
Little David MarOwitz Run Over But
Not Fatally Injured.

While Fred D. Gilman was running
his autom up Prospect avenue
Saturday afternoon David Marowitz
dashed into the street in front of the
machine. He was hit by the mud
guard and carried II or 15 feet when
he dropped in front of the front
wheel This passed over him on the
lower part of the abdomen and the
hind wheel passed over his body a
little lower. 1t was supposed that
the boy would be crushed under the
heavy car but it was quickly deter
mined that no bones ha dbeen broken
Dr. w. J. AIdrich took charge of the
case and the boy was taken to Bright
look Hospital. He was quite severely
bruised but apparently there were no
internal ruptures and the boy was re-
ported as doing very we'll.
The boy did not hear the auto when
he stepped into the street.

complied with.
All expenses of the boys for the en-
tire week Will be paid, including car

Chief of Police John Finlay is in
receipt of a letter from w. C. Dain

the advertisement for a hand bag
containing two valuable necklaces
and a quantity of silver lost, in The
Caledonian, and that he found the
bag short distance outside of St
Johnsbury on the day it was lost. The
goods will be returned to the owner
This not only shows that Caledonian
