RUFFED GROUSE SMART BIRD

Of His Natural Camoufaos and

The ruffed grouse Is the greatest
game bird in this country and prob
ably is hit less than any bird In the
world with the possible exception of
the snipe.
Nature has endowed the ruffed
grouse with the means Of protection
and the way the bird uses these means
makes him seem brainy creature.

VIEWS OF WILSON AND

French Premier Openly Advocates Old
Balance Of Power Idea and Wilson
Comes Back With Re'terst'on OF
Views Favorins Prevention Of One
Nation pou,in atins World.

Paris. Jan. 1.-The declaration made
by President Wilson in his speech at
Manchester Monday against balance OF
power among the nations is regarded
in high American quarters here as
direct rejoinder TO the speech of Pre-
mier ClemenCeau in the chamber oil
deputies in which he declared his sup
port of the balance of power idea
and his purpose TO make 1t his guild
ing thought in the peace negotiations
Whether it was intended TO be so. 1t
is not known, but the presidents
speech. coming within twenty-four
hours after that of the premier, has
led TO a contract between the two dec
laraGons ans sharply defining two OPP
posing viewpoints on the subject OF
balance Of power among the nations
What Premier Really Said,
The textual copy of the premier's,
speech on Sunday night is available
and gives the following reference on
this subject:
There is an old system which APP
pears condemned today and to whica
do not fear to say that remain
faithful at this moment. Countries
have Organized the defense OF their
frontiners with the necessary clements
and the balance of powers
Great disorder broke out in the
chamber AT this point and Pierre Pri-
zon, socialist deputy, exclaimed:
This is the system which has gone
into bankruptcy"
Would Have Prevented War.
Premier Clemenceau continued, say:
This system appears To be con-
demned by some very high authorities.
Nevertheless, | viii remark that II
such a balance he'd preceded the war
that If America. England, France, and
Italy had got together in 6sclaring that
whoever attacked one of them must ex-
pect to see the three others take up
the common defense"
The premier was inter uptedshere by
applause and disorder in the chamber,
bur later resumed:
There is in this system OF alliances
which do not rcnounce-I say it most
distincty-my guiding thought at the
conference, if your body permits me TO
go there, and / believe that nothing
should separate after the war the four
great powers that the war has united.
To this entente /, will make all sacri-
fees"
Rejoinder by President.
The statement of the French pre-
mier is looked upon as foreign to the
statement made few hours later at
Manchester by President Wilson, when
the president said:
If the future had nothing for US
but new attempt TO keep the world
at a right poise by balance of power,
the United States would take no inter-
est, because she would join no combi-
nation OF power which Is not comb.-
nation OF ali Of us.

Possibly for English readers the
fame Of the Jackdaw Of Reims has
eclipsed the fame Of the Parrot Of
Amiens. But yert-Vert was a bird
who made history in a small way. he
was a monastery parrot renowned for
piety until he was sent on visit, by
canal boat, to nunnery. and acquired

c@stle carriu-a-HooIey.

On the west coast of Ireland stands
a castle bearing the euphonious name
Of Carrig- Hooley. Several centuries
ago this was the favorite castle of
Grace O'NIalley, an Irish amazon, who
took unto herself the title of queen,
and ruled over several counties in a
fashion not at all in accordance with
sixteenth century ideals of femininity.
Home rule in Ireland was demanded
even in those days. When Queen Eliza
beth offered to make the Irish maid a
countess, history reports that she an
swered proudly. II consider myself as
great queen as your majesty"
On her voyage from the English
court to her mountain domain, Queen
Grace stopped at Howth castle, and
being but coldly received by the lord,
she proceeded to teach him hospitality
by abducting his son snu heir, return
ing the child only on the promise that
the gates of Howth castle were to
swing open always at the dining hour.

CRATER IMMENSE IN SIZE
Extinct Volcano Of HaIeakaIa, In tia.
waiian Islands, Is One Of 4he
Worlds Wonders.

The Hawaiian islands possess an
extinct volcano SO immense thet a
large city could be set down inside
the crater. 1t is ninety-seven miles
around the face of Haleakala, twenty
miles around the crater walls, and
10000 feet to the top. The crest was
ages ago blasted out to depth Of
5000 feet, and flung aside in series
of eruptfons strewing the mountain
with powders. lava and ash.
Within the crater thus formed, a
great cone and number of smaller
ones can be seen. 1t is so far down to
the floor of the crater that a bowler
pushed in seems to fall in empty
space. The crash Of its landing Is
never heard.
The view from the crater of Mt.
Haleakala is accounted one of the
most wonderful in the world. The
green fields of the island and the blue
Pacific are spread out before the OBJ
server like mighty map.

electricity were identical. Choosing a
sultry day. when menacing clouds

on framework Of iron wire. The
cord was of hemp with piece of silk
at the hand end. and above the silk
was attached an iron key. When the
storm broke the string stiffened and
sparks darted from the key. Again
and again Franklin drew the spark
from the iron. and thus demonstra
ted his theory.
