Birds OF Queer Traits.

OF course everybody has heard OF the
cuckoo-the original OF the little wooden
bird which Sticks its head out OF Swiss
clocks and calls Cuckoo, cuckoo = as
the hour comes round. Nearly every
body, too, has heard OF its curious habit
OF laying its eggs in other birds nests,
where they are hitched out in due time
and at once proceed TO shove their foster
brothers and sisters out Of the nest. and
then grow fat on the provender gathered
for the entire nestiul Ia this country,
however, no one has ever seen this done,
for the simple reason that the American
cuckoo has not learned this splendid
scheme OF making other people discharge
his family duties for him, that practice
being an exclusive privilege OF his Euro
pean brother.
While The American cuckoos do not
confide the care oftheir offspring entirely
10 strangers, they do (as good many
humans do make the eldest OF their flock
play nurse TO the younger ones. The
hen cuckoo lays her eggs a week or more
apart as soon as the first is haiehed, the
parent birds begin 10 feed il most assidu-
ously. Before the second egg is hatehed,
as IT is a week later. the fist birding is
almost large enough 10 cover the remain
ing eggs and aid in keeping them warm
and Matching them. Each youngster IS
expected to help the mother the next
conner until the nest is full. Then the
oldest is coolly showed out by the pa
rents. and told - s!uig Tor himself. Thus,
instead OF spending hours upon The nest,
Mrs. Cuckoo is able 10 be oil with her
friends. The whole cuckoo tribe seem
10 possess queer traits. In South Amer
ica there is another species which differs
both from the European and the North
American in everything except IFS desire
to shirk as much OF its duties as may be
possible. This species manages this by
adopting a community plan OF raising It's
offspring. Instead OF each pair building
a nest, one is built by three or four pairs
working together. Nests have been
found with as many as twenty eggs in
them, or which no less than five hem
birds took turns in sitting.

this story: A man who had returned TO
Winnipeg from trip over the plains related
an experience he had with an Indian that

the fondness OF the redman for whisky.
The Indian, who was mounted, halted
the stranger and asked il he had any IL
quor on him, and on being answered in
the affirmative offered to trade his bride
for the flask. Before the argument end

Indian not only offered me his bride but
also his whole outfit, including horse and
saddle"
"Did you mike trade?" he was ask

Passing OF The Dollar Weekly

these rural publications are being forced
to raise their subscription rates in order
10 meet their own increasing costs. The
stupeudous height which print paper has
reached is the dominating element IN the
problem, but is only one OF many ways
in which the newspaper publisher finds
the cost OF his product increased beyond
all estimates
Il is claimed that more than $50 Ameri-
can weeklies have been forced 10 sus-
pend publication on account OF these in
creasiug costs. For the greater number,
however, the other alternative will be the
one adopted-thst is. raising The sub
scription price above the time-honored
flat dollar per year.

Wood Flour.

More than 10000 tons OF wood flour,
valued at 100000, is used annually in
the United States in two widely different
industries, the manufacture OF dynamite
and the manufacture OF inlaid linoleum.
Wood flour is also used in making COM
position flooring, oatmeal paper and in
several other industries. II forms one
OF the means by which the huge waste
product OF our lumber mills is beginning
to find some better means Of disposal than
the burner. Since a total Of $4,000, 600
cords OF such waste is produced each year
at saw mills in the United States, ofwhich
about one-h half goes into the furnaces as
fuel, while the rest is burned as refuse 10
get rid of it, there is no lack OF raw ma
terial for industries which can develop
ways OF turning this waste TO account.
All wood flour using industries require
white or very light cream -colored flour
having good absorptive powers. The
wood species that may be used are con-
fined TO the light, non-resinous conifers,
and the white broad-leaved woods like
poplar. Spruce. white pine and poplar
are the species most used. Mill waste,
free from bark, furnishes much Of the raw
material for making wood Hour.
For use in dynamite the trade demands
are said to require white wood flour,
since the freshness OF dynamite stock is
indicated by light color. Dynamite
flour must also be very absorptive, so
there will be no leakage OF nitroglYcerin
from the finished product.
Wheat flour mill refuse and infusorial
earth have also been used in dynamite
making, but wood flour has practically
replaced them in this country.
In the manufacture OF linoleum either
wood or cork flour is used. The flour
is mixed with cementing material,
spread out on burlap and rolled or pressed
to uniform thickness. The cement is
the expensive constituent. Cork limo
leum is the cheaper because less cement
is necessary. The patterns are printed
on, leaving dark base. For inlaii or
straight line linoIeums wood flour is used
exclusively. Cork linoleum is always
dark, and slightly more elastic than that
produced from wood flour. The wearing
qualities are about the same.
Two methods OF producing wood flour
are practiced; one using millstones, the
other STEEL burr rollers TO pulyerize the
wood. The latter requires oEly one
fourth as much power TO operate as the
former and was developed on the Pacific
Coast TO handle sawdust as raw material.
The mills OF Norway, which produce
much OF the European wood flour, are OF
the stone type.
Wood flour mills are scattered over the
country from Maine 10 California, where
ever the proper combination OF wood and
water power is available, and the domestic
wood flour completes with The Norwegian
product which, before the European war,
was delivered at Atlantic ports for $3.50
to SIS ton.

Urge President To Arouse
Country to Danger
ISSUE RESOLUTION
Possible That Warfare May Be
Brought to Our Own Shore and
Country Should Be Prepared.

Washington. June 5.-Declaring
the United States is fast approaching
a crisis where warfare may soon be
brought to its own shores, the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United States
representing all the chambers of com
merce in America, today sent to Presi
dent Wilson a resolution asking him
to name a special commission TO in
vestigate the war, give the people the
truth and arouse them to sense of
their danger.
The resolution, under the signature
of Joseph II. De Frees of Chicago,
chairman sums up the country's peril
thus:
Aside from the question of short
ening the war, there are life and
death reasons why the United States
should speed preparations for the
great conflict There are possible,
and even probable contingencies,
which might cause the United States
to bear the brunt of the fighting on
her own shores. They are:
If Russia should collapse.
If the English fleet be overcome.
If the food situation should bring
our allies to their knees.
If great reyersals should be met on
the western front.
II the submarine menace be not
checked.
The chamber, made up of leading
'busines men all over the country, con.
siders the situation so acute that the
executive committee, after drawing up
the resolution, requested telegraphic
approval by its members. This was
granted and today the contents of the
resolution, which actually was passed
on May "a. we're made public.

CONSPIRAClES FIZZLE

Rounded Up at Once and Sum-
mariIy Dealt With.

Washington, June 5.-War depart
ment estimates late tonight We're that
10, 500. 600 men of military age regis
tered today under the conscription act.
These figures far exceed the most ar
dent hopes and estimates of the ad-
ministration.
Taking the last census as basis it
was estimated there were 1924 ,S69
men of military age in the United
States. Tonight's returns show near
ly 250,000 more men registered than
were expected.
At 10 o'clock tonight the depart
ment was in receipt OF kilograms from
the governors OF all the states saying
registration had been an unqualified
success. Hundreds of messages re-
porting a large registration in various
states we're received by the provost
marshal general.
The day passed without a hitch.
There was little trouble and few slack
ers. Reports from forty states to the
war department tonight showed the
registration a complete success.
At 6 o'clock. Attorney General Greg
ory issued the following statement
just before closing his Office for the
night:
Reports received today at the de-
partment of justice relative to regis
uation indicate a ready and general
response on the part of young men Of
the country TO the demands OF the
conscription act.
$50 far only three arrests have
been reported to the department and
none of these grew out of a serious
situation. No resistance to regis
tration has come to my attention.
Reports from governors of the Yari-
ous states to Provost Marshal General
Crowder showed there was no serious
trouble anywhere in the country. Off
cials tonight expressed the opinion
that on the face of the information at
hand not only the anti-draft propagan-
da, which was given widespread circu-
lation throughout the country for the
last week, failed utterly and that the
German efforts to embarrass the gov
eminent fell miserably. but there was
little Stacking"
