Hudson's Animal Cronics

ID EADERS Of Far Aseay a~d Long
IN Ago viii recall some serpent MEM
cries Of the boy tone memory in particu-
lar Of "six feet of black quicksilver') and
also the somewhat mystifying chapter on
4 Bows Aaimisn, described as an instinct
or quality in the primitive and very young
for animating nature.
Before we are through with this new
volume by Mr.. Hudson, called The Book
of Naturalist, We conclude that he still
retains this animism 10 high degree, and
it is this perhaps, together with his beau
tiful prose, that distinguishes him from
other writers on natural science subjects
Mr.. Hudson, it is plain, is not only IN
terested as scientist in his study Of bats
ard moles and vipers and other queer and
10 most of US repellent creatures, as Fabre
chiefly in his insects for example, but be
lis apparently on the most friendly and
intimate personal relations with the entire
animal kingdom. As he writes quite early
in the new book:
"The main thing WAS the wonderfulness
and eternal mystery of life itself {.
the sense, too, that this fame of life was
one, and Of my kinship with it in all its
appearances, in all organic shapes, how
ever different from the human. Nay, the
very fact that the forms we're unhuman
but served to heighten the interest; the
roe-deer, the leopard and wild horse, the
swallow eleaving the air, the butterfly toy
;lg with flower, apd the dragon-fy
dreaming on the river; the monster whale,
the silver flying fish and the nautilus with
rose and purple tinted sails spread to the
wind"
The passage serves excellently to Illus
trate both the animiEm and the beautiful
style. There is a good deal about snakes
in the new book, but no doubt owing to
the anirnism, the horror is largely absent.
The reader who may at first skip the
second chapter in the book on Hints to
Adder-Seekers, as having no interest for
him, will be likely to return TO it before he

Rending the darkness,
Has she not taken
Fugitive, trailing
Echoes and made them
Shadows of luminous
Love and Of longingi
Surely
Such rapturous
Ravishing witchery
As she so perfectly
Yelled
Was the vision
OF something virginia,
Woven Of wonder
At the first daybreak
And the first timid
Voice in the startled
Star-world of silence!
BirdwiSe
She tarried,
Then swiftly went from MS,
Even as fugitive
Shapes and their shadows
Fade in the darkness;
Even as luminous
Tear trails of tempests
End in the rainbow

Has goals Of glory,
And as all glory
Sounding but passes
Into the infinite

RAIL LROADERS WONT
GET SUNDAYS OFF

This above message received by the
East Oregonian today from J. p.
O'Brien, federal manager for the o.
w. R. & y. sets at rest rumor that
has been in circulation here that the
road intends soon TO abolish Sunday
work excepting in the moving of pas
senger trains and perishable freight.
The report as circulated here and
at Rieth is to the effect that after next
Sunday all railroad men who can be
spared from the service will be given
Sundays off. that switch engine crews
will lay off on those days and that
non perishable freight would not be
moved on Sundays.
In hope of ascertaining the facts
this newspaper last night addressed a
wire query to Mr.. O'Brien. His ans
wer given above shows that such a
change in service is not in view.

BOND MONEY NOT ALL
FOR WESTERN OREGON

Contrary to an impression that
might be gained from a story in the
Morning Oregonian today the S1O.-
OOO,O bonding bill now before the
legislature does not bar the use OF
money for hard surfacing work in
Eastern oregon.
w. l.. Thompson, member of the
highway commission, declares the bill
as worked is broad and provides that
as per cent of the money be expend-
ed in the construction of pavement
and betterment of grades designated
in chapter 423, of the laws for 1871
as hard surfaced roads. Mr.. Thomp-
son recalls that the Columbia high
way is designated as a hard surfaced
highway; likewise the road from
Heppner to the Washington line, via
Pendleton. Consequently the COM
mission will have power, if the bonds
ane,Hoted, to expend money on these
roads. The Oregonan story gave the
impression that all the bonds money
was to, go to western oregon.
