GAS MASK MEETS TEST.
Invention of New York College Men
Proves Most Successful.

Invention of New York College Men
Proves Most Successful.
A gas mask designed for use In
trench warfare, invented and patented
by two instructors in chemistry in the
College of the City of New York, has
successfully passed tests of the med
zeal division of the army. The inven-
tors and patentees are William A. Pra-
ger and William II. Estabrooke, in col
liberation with DR.. Neish of Columbia
university.
DIR. Estabrooke has received a letter
from the chief of staff of the medical
division pronouncing the device salts
factory and stating that the tests to
which it was subjected were more Sc
we're han those to be met in actual
warfare. The United States army has
not yet decided to add these masks to
its equipment.
The mask may be of use in several
industries and will be placed on the
market soon. 1t is large enough to fit
over the regulation army hat. 1t al
lows a foot Of space in front and a few
lncneS ABOUT the back ana SIDES OF the
head. The bottom fits snugly to the
neck. An exterior layer is composed Of
several chemicals and metals which fl
ter the mixture of gas and air sent
against it and permit only the air to
enter.
In one of the tests a man wearing
n of the hoods sat for several hours
while chlorine was being pumped at
his head. He suffered no i'll effects.
The external surface combined with
the poisonous fumes gave forth a new
substance inhalable without injury.
The mask can be recharged while be-
ing worn. 1t is somewhat like the Eng
fish model. Thick celluloid pieces per-
NIT vision.

GOOD RATION FOR FATTENING
Improvement in Quality of Fowls May
Be Had by Using Little Time
Confine in Pen.

Just a little time spent in fattening
birds will greatly improve their quail
ity. The following ration has been
recommended by the poultry husband
man of the Nebraska college of ag-
riculture as being most economical
for that state, and giving satisfactory
results in fattening chickens: Sixty
per cent cornmeal, 40 per cent low
grade flour, 20 per cent wheat mid
dlings. Mix and skim milk to the
consistency of a batter, and feed
morning and night. Starve the birds
for twelve hours previous to thei
first feeding. This will sharpen their
appetites. Fatten for two weeks in
a small pen or crate, until ready for
killing. This will deprive the fowls of
exercise, and the muscles will become
soft. Fatty tissue will be taken on
between the muscle fbers, which will
greatly aid in the cooking process.
Don't kill the bird when the crop is
full. Starve for "a hours and provide
all the water they will drink. II the
chicken is to be roasted, remove the
crop either with the viscera or by
making an incision next to the spinal
column, where it will not show when
the bird is severed. The cords or ten
dons of the thigh may be easily re-
moved by partly severing the shank
at the hook joint. Then, after locat-
ing the cords by making a lengthwise
incision in the scaly portion of the
leg, fasten the leg securely and pull
steadily until the cords tear loose.

Length, seven and one-fcurth inches.
Among thrushes having the top of
head and tail nearly the same color
as the back, this one is distinguished
by its tawny eye-ring and cheeks. The
Pacific coast s~ubspecies is russell
brown above, while the other subspe-
cies is the olive-backed thrush. The
remarks below apply to the species as
a whole.
Range: Breeds in the forested parts
of Alaska and Canada and south to
California, Colorado, Michigan, New
York, West Virginia (mountains), and
Maine; winters from Mexico to South
America.
Habits and economic status: This
is one of a small group of thrushes
the members of which are by many
ranked first among American song
birds. The several members resem-
Bile one another in size, plumage, and
habits. While this thrush is very fond

season, when the young are in the
nest. From this it might be inferred
that the young are fed On fruit, but
such Is not the case. The adults eat
fruit, but the nestlings, as usual, are
fed mostly Upon insects. Beetles con.
stitute the largest item of animal food,
and ants come next. Many caterpil-
lars also are eaten. The great bulk
Of vegetable food consists of fruit, OF
which two-fifths is of cultivated vari-
cites. Where these birds live in or
near gardens or orchards, they may
do considerable damage, but they are
too valuable as insect d%estroyers to
be killed If the fruit can be protected
in any other way.

HullO!

Bring your hand down with a whack!
Waltz straight up and don't go slow,
Shake his hand and say, "Hullo!"
Is he clothed in rags? Oh, no.
Walk straight up and say, "Hullo!'
Rags are but O cotton roll
Just for wrapping up a soul;
And a soul is worth a true

Don't wait for the crowd to go.
Walk straight up and say, "Hullo!'
When big vessels meet, they say,
They salute and sail away;
Just the same as you and me,
Lonely ships upon the sea,
Each one sailing his own jog
For a port beyond tho fog;
Let you speaking trumpet blow,
Lift you horn and cry, "Hullo!'
Say "Hullo!" and "How dye do?"
Other folks are good as you.
When you leave your house of clay,
Wandering in the far away,
When you travel through The strange
Country far beyond the range
Then the souls you've cheered will knoN
Who you be and say "Hullo!'

Length, about nine inches. The
slaty gray plumage and black cap and
tail are distinctive.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States west to New Mexico,
Utah, Oregon, and Washington, and
in southern Canada; winters from the
gulf states to Panama.
Habits and economic status: In
many localities the catbird is n of
the commonest birds. Tangled
growths are its favorite nesting places
and retreats, but berry patches and
ornamental %shrubbery r not dis.
dained. Hence the bird Is a familiar
dooryard visitor. The bird has a fine
song, unfortunately marred by coca
sional cat calls. With habits similar
to those of the hooking bird and a
song almost as varied, the catbird has
never secured a similar place in pop
ular favor. Half of its food consists
of fruit, and the cultivated crops most
often injured are cherries, strawber-
ries, raspberries, and b~lackberries.
Beetles, ants, %crickets, and grasshop-
pers are the most important element
of it's animal food. The bird is known
to attack a few pests, as cutworms,
leaf beetles, ~clover-root curculio, and
the periodical cicada, but the good it
does in this way probably does not
pay for the fruit it steals. The ex-
tent to which it should be protected
may perhaps be left to the individual
c%ultivator; that is, it should be made
lawful to destroy catbirds that are do
ing manifest damage to crops.

acter and Kind of Birds Has Been
Obtained by Previous Counts-West
Especially Called Upon to Cooperate
In the Work.
A bird census will be taken during
the breeding season this year by the
bureau of biological survey of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
This will be the third annual bird
count for the country taken by the
federal government.
In making this survey the bureau
will rely largely on persons interested
in bird life who will agree to act as
volunteer enumerators and count the
different kinds of birds to be found
neal their homes in a farm or wood
land tract of from forty to eighty
acres. The agricultural department
has been furnished with valuable in
formation concerning the character,
number and distribution of the bird
population through similar counts
made by unpaid observers during the
past two summers.
This year the ornithologists of the
department wish particularly to secure
a large number of volunteers In the
west to report on the bird life on the
plains, the semiarid regions, the des-
erts and the mountains in that part of
the United States. Especial attention
also is to be given to securing data as
to the birds In the fruit districts of the
Pacific coast and in the south Atlantic
and gulf states.
The information collected this year,
it is believed, will be of special value
in enabling the department to meet
the effect of state and national bird
laws and also In determining what re-
lationship exists between bird life and
the prevalence of ~locusts, grasshoppers
and other insect pests in different To-
calities.
Results to Be Approximate.
As it is impossible to make an actual
count of all the birds In any extended
district each enumerator is asked to
report only upon the number Of birds
breeding in a selected area, in the
country or In suburban districts. From
the figures thus obtained those in
charge Of the work are able to ap-
proximate the total number of birds
of each kind In different parts of the
country.
Enumerators who wish to report on
birds on farms are asked to choose an
area which includes farm buildings,
shade trees, orchards, plowed land,
pasture, meadow or swamp, but not
very much woodland. The enumeration
begins his survey at daylight some
morning and zigZags back and forth
in the selected area, counting the male
birds. Early in the morning during
the last of May or the first week Of
June every male bird should be in full
song and therefore be easily counted
The count of one day is to be verified
by observation on several mornings.
The height of the breeding season
should be chosen for this work. In
the latitude of Washington the first
part of June is the proper date for the
count. In the latitude of Boston the
work should begin a week later, and
south of Washington even an earlier
date should be selected.
1.-THE work calls for considerable
knowledge of birds, and only those
who can readily distinguish the differ
ent kinds should undertake to make
returns for their localities" says 8
statement by the department.
