Sentencing The Hawks.

The Cooper's hawk and the sharp
Skinned hawk, known also as hen hawks
and chicken hawks, and certain OF the
owls, are responsible for most OF the evil
reputation that attaches to the hawk tribe
in the minds OF farmers and poultry own
ers. Those two species of hawks or fal-
cons feed almost entirely on young birds.
Nevertheless, ornithologists are not
agreed as 10 the proper attitude that
should be assumed toward them. Some
maintain that they should be exterminated,
but others believe th,t they hello 10 main
tain proper balance IN nature. In that
connection. Mr.. L. S Crandsil. assistant
curator OF birds at the New York Zoo
logical Park, says that. although il is pos
sible 10 agree with the sentiment that no
torn OF life should be completely exhaust
ed, it is not easy TO believe that there IS
such surplus OF sohgbircs as 10 require
that some OF them be removed. Before
the advent Of man, the depredations o.
the natural enemies OF bird life were OF
little consequence. But now, when the
conditions are so adverse 10 the rapid in
crease OF birds that II has become neees-
sary TO exert every effort TO aid them,
bird killing hawks may be regarded as
having outlived their usefulness. Sharp
sFinned and Cooper's hawks are very
abundant in the vicinity OF the Geological
Park, and hardly day passes that does
not bring some evidence oftheir rapacity.
A young Cooper's hawk was recently
presented 10 the park. with etier from
the donor. Mr.. J. F. PAUL, OF Wheeling,
West Virginia. In the letter Mr. PAUL
says that, having captured the young
bird, he placed it in cage near its nest.
"The first day the old birds brought a
young chicken, a mouse. catbird, a
sparrow and a meadow lark, possibly
more, which they ate. The other hawk
the next day brought another young
chicken, a flicker and ground squirrel" )"
The efforts OF those particular birds TO
remove the surplus among the songsters
have been discouraged.

An Incident of Border Warfare.

The Highland Recorder published a
letter from Lewis county giving an mac
curate account of the killing OF an Indian
warrior who approached fort and i'm
ltated turkey gobbler to draw out
hunter from the fort into an ambush
The letter puts the occurrence at fort
located where Jane Lew now stands
AS matter OF fact that is story OF
Jesse Hughes, one OF the most noted OF
the Indian fighters of his day. The time
was about the year 1890, and the occur
renee took place at the fort standing at
the junction of the waters where the city
OF Carksburg now stands. We have
heard the story placed at other points in
West Virginia, but Howe's Historical
Collections of Virginia published in lS45
gives the details. Jesse Hughes was at
the fort. A turkey was heard gobbling
on the hill. A young boy got his rifle
and was about TO 90 out and get the tur-
key. Hughes prevailed on the boy to
let him 60, and after time he returned
without turkey. The boy complained.
about it and was reproaching Hughes,
when Hughes produced fresh scalp and
threw il atthe boy feet and said: There,
take your turkey, Jim, don't want it."
After Hughes left the fort he went up
one OF the streams to ravine, and up
that and came out on the hill in the rear
OF the gobbling, and there saw an Indian
ona chestnut stump, which was surround
ed by sprouts, gobbling. Hughes shot
and killed the Indian.
The place that this Indian was killed
must have been just about where the
Waldo hotel stands. This is one OF the
most beautiful places in the world.
Anyway a very fine city now stands
where once that Indian sat on cheStnu
stump and wrought his own destruction.

You licked me at Bull Run;
On many field we struggled,
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray oil Southland,

Like men we did our duty
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years we fought like devils,
But when the war was done
Your hand met mine in friendly clasp.
Our two hearts beat as one.
And now when danger threatens,
No North. no South. we know.
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe,

But il our country's honor
Needs once again her son

The Submarine Net.

A submarine net is made OF wire rope.
about as thick as a lead pencil. and the
meshes are OF a great size-about 10 or
Is feet square. The net has floats on
top that keep bobbing up and down like
the float on a fish line and on the bottom
are weights that keep the whole thing In
perpendicular position.
The submarine cannot submerge to
very great depths on account OF the pres
sure-2O0 feet being about the limiting
depth. II sails iaaocently along, there
fore. until il pushes IFS nose into these
meshes. The net now trails along on
both sides o! the submarine-its progress
revealing the fact that something below
is supplying the motive power.
Perhaps the net suddenly stops; that
means that the hidden submarine has
stopped. its navigators having made the
horrible discovery that they are trapped
or perhaps the net has become twisted
in the propeller. Under these conditions
the wise submarine rises 10 The surface.
II sunenders, becomes the property oi
the enemy, and IFS crew made prisoners.
II il does not take such action one OF
two things will happen. The enemy
will wait upon the surface until The sub
mersible comes up, or il il starts moving
The enemy will follow until The inevitable
uprising. But perhaps The surface COM
mander gets impatient; in such case he
can LET bomb down into The water,
which will explode when il touches The
roof OF the submarine. OF course, the
submerged Germans know that this bomb
is likely TO drop al any minute; the
psychology" OF such situation tends
to persuade the imprisoned crew TO sur
render.
