To FIJI EDITOR or TIE srN-Sir:
have often wondered about Moses and
the burning bush. and worked to learn
why the bush was not consumed.
The other day ! read In THE Sun
how. in Decatur county. Iowa. two men
were saving down a bee tree when they
smelled gas and struck matches 10
place them against tho sawed part. A
flame burst forth and blazed up the tree.
High flames shot about the men. and they
were frightened and ran. In great fear
they did not turn aside TO see just why
the bush was not burned.
Would not a little research prove this
tree a brother Of the ancient burning
bush? u.

THE BATTUE
Representative Plat Reports the Rout
OF the Grackles.

! To THE EDITOR OF THE SCN-Sr: l
was much Interested In the defence OF
the startling In THE Sun OF Saturday
by Mr.. Archibald c. Weeks OF the
Brooklyn Entomological Society: also
much amused by tho seriousness with
which Mr.. Weeks has accepted the re-
ports Of the Outrageous destruction Of
starlings at P~oughkeepsie under the d.
rection OF Mayor DAME W. Wilbur at
the request OF some wealthy %sluggards
who, on account of nocturnal revels.
had their morning slumbcrs disturbed
by the cheerful whistlings OF the birds.
Mayor Wilbur must he eSonefatcd ct
any destruction OF the starting family.
though II must he admitted that his
Intentions were apparently destructive
OF something.
No starlings were destroyed. for the
very good reason that no starlings
showed IN when the luntsmen arrived,
and that the birds were not starlings
but purple grackles or b~lackbirds also
for the reason that the gracklos had
begun to gather far an,ld for their
fall migration and had deserted their
accustomed resorts.
The truth OF this somewhat historic
and divertins Incident was that COM
plants about the blackbirds had been
coming to the Mayors ears for a month.
and the game warden had attempted TO
move tho birds to some other roost. re-
mote from city streets, by firing an oc-
casional shot into the trees. Residents
had aroused tho birds now and then By
firing roman candles among them.
/ These demonstrations had caused a
few OF the birds 20 move from one tree
20 another, and perhaps from one street
20 another, but bad entirely failed to
arouse "A desire 10 seek "A rcosting place

those trees, as by prcconcerted c%onspir-

like the roar of a mighty cataract.

Thought To Have Contract
ed It At Camp Sychar
CAN NOW MOVE LEG
Disease Developed Nine Days After
Soiourn In Mt. Vernon-opening
Of Schools Postponed For
Period OF Two Weeks

Esther, the nine-year-old daughter
Cary street, Bell addition, is a suffer.
er with infantile paralysis, this being
the first case in Utica in recent years,
reports The Herald.
Esther was slightly indisposed q
week ago last Sunday morning, but
attended Sunday school as usual at
the Methodist church. In the after
noon and evening she was slightly
sick at the stomach and suffered pain
in her head, with some fever. Mon
day morning paralysis Of one leg was
noticed. DIR. Smith was called and he
recognized her ailment as the dreaded
infantile paralysis. After DIR. Essing-
ton was called IN consultation the
authorities were notified and quaran-
tine was established
The illness and fever stage passed
several days ago, and the child has
apparently recovered except that one
leg is entirely and the other is partly
paralyZed. Quarantine will be main
tanned about 2S days from the time of
the passing of the fever.
The period of incubation of the dis
ease is from nine to twelve days after
exposure to the germs The time has
already elapsed since Esther was at
Sunday school, and as no other cases
have developed, there is reason to be-
lieve the danger is passed. Esther is
said to have suffered the symptoms
Just nine days from the time she was
at Camp Sychar at Mt. Vernon where
she may have been exposed to the dis
ease as there have been cases in Mt.
Vernon and elsewhre in Knox county.
She may have been exposed on a
train.
The opening of the Utica schools,
scheduled for this week, has been
postponed two weeks. The reading
room will be closed during the quaran-
tine period, and Sunday schools will
be abandoned.
Mr.. Brown came down from his
work at Akron Friday. He took room
at William Hughes and visited his
family from quarantine distance.
Mrs. Brown informed The Herald
yesterday noon that Esther can now
straighten her left leg herself, and
can move the foot, and that she can
allow the movement Of her right leg
A few days ago she could move Meth
er limb.
