The Indian fruit cuckoo, which, like all members of the cuckoo family, lays its eggs in the nests of other birds and thus avoids the trouble of matching them, is said to exhibit great deal of strategy in dealing with crows, its nat ural enemies. Whereas the hen, an in conspicuous, speckled gray bird, con- ceals herself ill the foliage, the cock, remarkable for his brilliant black plumage and crimson eyes, places him. self on a perch near crows nest and sets up great racket. The crows i'm mediately rush out to attack him, and he takes to flight with them in pursuit. The hen meanwhile slips into the nest and deposits an egg.

During the mango season. in India much injury is done to the fruit by night birds, particularly the so called flying foxes. and to keep these off with the minimum of inconvenience to them selves the natives have invented an in teresting contrivance. First of all they bedeck long bamboo pole plentifully with tin cans and other noise produc. ing utensils and fix this up among the branches of one of the fruit trees. To this they tie a cord reaching down to the ground, and the other end of this cord they tie around their own ankle. By this means they can lie in bed and while resting the rest of their body can work the noise maker with their legs Buffalo Express.

FRANKLIN ASKS GUNS
TO Arm OCEAN Liners
Head of Transatlantic Corporation
Formally Requests U. S. Navy.

p. A. S. Franklin, president. of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine, yesterday
made formal application to the Navy De-
partment for guns to arm the passenger
liners of the American Line. The request
states that the company has been unable
to find guns elsewhere.
1t is indicated that the Navy Depart
ment, while opposed for military reasons
to any project of conveying American
merchantmen through the prohibited
submarine zones, favors furnishing such
ships with guns for their own defense.
Inasmuch as the government has recoy-
nized that naval stores are the only
supply of naval guns, 1t has been held
that obtaining guns from that source
does not alter the private or commercial
character of ship.
Within q few days, it was intimated
strongly by officials yesterday the gov
ernment will find a way whereby Ameri-
can merchant vessels now held in port by
fear of German submarines may arm,
themselves and resume their sailings
This will be accomplished by private
means. The government, however, will
not supply guns or gunners direct nor
even formally advise arming.
