Bird That Dances,

There is bird in the birdhOuse of
New York Geological park that is a
bird of a dancer. He can do all the
modern dances. His name is Cock
of-the-Rock, or the rupicola cotingidae.
He is most peculiar bird. His aim
less leaping about meant next to moth
ing to the casual observers, who
thought that the floor of the cage pos
sibly might have become too hot for
his feet. But to Keeper Stacey the
same antics conveyed a message of
loneliness. "You see, COck-of-the-ROck
BIRDS" explained the keeper, ''like to
dance. Down in British Guiana, where
this fellow comes from, the birds gath
er and dance in a big circle. This bird
likes to think that he is home and so
dances around, taking the part of the
whole bunch. After he has danced
around in big circle he thinks he's q
whole flock of BIRDS" The Cock of-the-
Rock is a rare bird, with beautiful red
and crane plumage. Unlike most birds
of this color, he has not faded to any
noticeable extent since being made a
captive.

Flowers and Leaves.

Flowers are produced by the sacri-
fee of stem and leaves, which subOrdi-
nate their own functions to the making
of seed to carry on the species. In the
late summer time, when plants have
Powered and set their seed, the leaf
spirit seems again to assert itself and,
in many instances, becomes SO strong
that the miracle of it's Self-sacrifice is
revealed. One often sees roses, after
producing perfect blossoms, producing
some which push out small bunch of
green leaves from the heart; or, per-
haps, the axis of the abOrted stem
grows right out from the middle and
bears small secondary rosebud. This
secondary rose is generally smothered
in calyx more like eOnglomeration
Of leaves than any ordinary calyX, the
calyx showing a strong tendency to re-
vert to the leaf form.

USE FOR SUGAR-BEET PULP
In France 1t Is Now Dried and Trans
formed Into What Is Called
"Sugar Flour"

The drying of fresh sugar-beet pulp,
thereby Transforming it into what is
called sugar -four" is now being I'M
dertaken in northern France as COM
mercial proposition. The purpose of
this process is much the same as the
desiccatiOn of potatoes, which has been
described in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, namely, to eliminate the moisture
from the vegetable matter so as to re-
duce it's weight and make it possible
to preserve part of all of the food
value for some time. This new sugar
-four has a certain amount of sweet
ness and can be used in cases where
pure sugar is not required, as, for ex-
ample, in certain brewing processes,
In making special breads, feeding stock,
and the like. In preparing it, fresh
beet pulp is poured into the top of
tower, where it comes in contact with
warm air and then is delivered into a
rotary device on a set of gratings,
placed one above the other. Next it
Is subjected to hot air and eventually
reaches air heated to 24S degrees. A
ton of beets will yield 500 pounds of
-four. 1t is thought that other drying
processes may be invented which will
make it possible to utilize many other
industrial residues which are now
thrown away. Popular Mechanics

Slaves in New ENGLAND.

1t may surprise many of our read
ers to learn that at one time upward
of 5000 colored persons were held as
slaves in Connecticut. The thrifty
Boston traders went further than the
Connecticut men. They brought sugar
from Jamaica, turned 1t into rum at
Boston and Medford, sent the rum
back to the west coast of Africa and
exchanged it for black men, whom they
damned below decks, transported them
to Jamaica and then traded them for
more sugar to be made into more rum
to be traded for more slaves. And SO
the traffic continued.-Hartford COu-

Ashland, Ore, April 5.-(To the
Editor )-Remember that in and be-

would net have fought then II It had
not been for the sake of honor and
justice. So it is today with us aud
Germany especially 80 with those Of
that birth and extraction. Therefore
1t is the duty of all others doubly to
honor and appreciate those who show
their loyalty to the American flag,
for they must at least feel sorry to
have to break with their mother
country, the same as your forefathers
felt.
Therefore it bchooves the rest of
us to say rs little as possible against
that country to those that come from
there, and at least show them that
they cannot outrival you in courtesy.
