FISHERMEN MENACE FAMOUS
BIRD ISLANDS ~ PACIFIC

/
Sticking out in the Pacific OcNn
900 miles beyond Honolulu IS a
group of little islands. the largest
not more than two square miles In
area. and several OF them merely
rising above the waves at hiGd tide.
Vet on those islands are many hun
dreds of thousands of birds and
among them are at least sis species
mot found anywhere else 10 the
world In 1911 one Of these species
was represented by six birds--all
that were left as a cole means Of per
petuating the species. and they con-
centratod on a single little island
where one man might Kill them ell
in one minutes shooting.
That species, the Laysan teal
has fortunately increased until there
are, by estimate. SO individuals.
For the United States Department of
Agriculture, for a few years, has
controlled the islands as bird res
ervation-the Hawaiian Islands Res
ervation it is called. But protecting
the birds there is q precarious bust
ness. The possibility has existed al
ways that one or more o. the rare
species might be wiped out in day.
By way Of illustration, this: One
day In 1903 the crew Of the Cutter
Thetis found an cid shed absolutely
piled fall OF albatro3s wings. A
search revealed the fact that twenty
three plume hunters had landed on
Laysan Island and had killed at
least 100000 birds. The men were
captured, taken to Honolulu. and
formally arrested. Since that time
there is not nown to have besn
repetition Of such depredations. but
il is always imminent.
Just now many fsherm enlarge

AROMA FROM THE BUTTERFLY
Human Nostrils Are Secreted by
Both Male and Female.

Peculiarly transformed scales on the
wings, or tufts of hairs on other parts
of the butterfly exude an aromatic Sc
erection, the secondary significance Of
which is that it appeals to the fe-
male insects. Some of the scents pro-
duced by the male Lepidoptera are
pleasant to the human olfactory sense,
resembling musk, mint, vanilla, honey,
and the like; others are suggestive OF
mice and bats. 1t is interesting to no
tice that in some cases, though glandu-
lar scales are abundantly present, we
cannot smell anything. which probably
means that the aromatic substances lie
outside our range of olfactory stimu-
lation, just as many rays of light lie
beyond our range of vision.
1t may be that the volatile poison Of
toads, known as phrynin, infiames It's
olfactory membrane IL we sniff 1t, yet
there Is no smell.

HIS CONSCIENCE IN REVOLT,
Killer Of condors Refused To practices
Profession for Any Paltry
Remuneration.

In his book, "In the Wilds of South
America" Mr.. Leo e. Miller tells us
that when he went into Argentina on
collecting trip he found an Italian
who claimed to be the champion con-
dor hunter OF all South America. Dur.
ing ten years he had killed more than
sixteen thousand of the magnificent
birds. His record for one day was
ia. Naturally. they had become
greatly reduced in number, for a con.
dor lays no more than two eggs, and
1t takes many months to rear the
young.
The mans method was to drive a
burro to some lonely gorge among the
bleak mountain tops favored by the
birds and then kill the animal. He
was very particular in stating that the
burro had TO be fat-a poor one would
not do for bait. He then spread nets
about the carcass. and when the con-
doris had gathered about to feast he
pulled rope and ensnared them. On
one occasion he shared 81 at one
throw of the net. The captured birds
were dispatched with a club and the
long-wing feathers extracted, to be ex-
ported to France to decorate womens
hats.
With his accumulated wealth he
built a powder mill, but 1t promptly
blew up, and he was virtually pennI-
less. OF course there were condors
in the mountains-in fact, he knew of
a ledge where more than eight hun
dred birds were accustomed to congre-
gate to spend the night; but the price
of feathers had gone down so per cent.
He ended his speech In a very dra-
matte manner.
what" he said, 'me go out and
slaughter such a wonderful, magnih.

ten pesos each? No, senior! Not me"

LANSING HANDS IN

CALLING or MEETINGS OF CAB.
MET DURING THE PRESIDENTS
ILLNESS CAUSE or BREAK.
Secretary Of state Quits office After
Exchange Of Notes In Which Presi-
dent Expresses Displeasure at
His Action.

Washington Robert Lansing, secre-
tary of state, rendered his resigna-
ton to President Wilson on February
10, and is no longer a member Of the
presidents cabinet
MIR. Lansing resigned, 1t Is claimed,
because President Wilson had accused
him Of usurplng the powers Of pres
ldent by calling meetings Of the cab
met during Mr.. Wilson's illness.
Mr.. Lansing denied that he had
sought or intended to usurp the presi-
Dental authority. He added, however,
that he believed then and still believes
that the cabinet conferences were 'for
the best interests of the republic" that
they were proper and necessary be-
cause of the presidents condition and
that he would have been derelict in
his duty If he had failed to act as he
Aid.
As the record stands Mr.. Lansing
rendered his resignation and Mr.. Will
son accepted it. The resignation was
offered, however, only after the presi-
dent, under date Of February z, had
written asking If it were true that Mr..
Lansing had called cabinet meetings
he felt it necessary to say that under
our constitutional law and practice, as
developed hitherto, no one but the
president has the right to summon the
heads of the executive departments
into conference"
Mr., Lansing answered two days lat
er, February 8, saying he. had called
the cabinet conferences because he
and others of the presidents official
family 'felt that, in view of the fact
that we were denied communication
with you, IT was wise for us to confer
Informally together on matters
as to which action could not be post
poned until your medical advisers per-
mitted you to pass upon them"
The secretary concluded by saying
that IL the president believed he had
failed in his loyalty" to him and If
Mr., Wilson no longer had confidence
IN him, he was ready to "relieve you
Of any embarrassment by placing my
resignation in your hands,"
The president replied that he was
much disappointed" by Mr.. Lansing's
letter regarding "the so-called cabinet
meetings." He said he found nothing
in the secretary's letter (which justi-
fies your assumption of presidential
authority in such matter" and added
that he must frankly take advantage
Of your kind suggestion" to resign.
81 must say" continued the presi-
dent, that it would relieve me of en-
bafrassment, Mr.. Secretary, the en-
barrassment of feeling your reluc-
lance and divergence of judgment, If
you would give up your present office
and afford me an opportunity to select
some one else whose mind would more
willingly go along with mine"
