STORKS MAY BECOME EXTINCT
How Practice of South African Farm
ers Works Havoc With the Dutch
National Bird"

For centuries the stOrk has been the
national bird" of the Dutch. The ma
jority of Dutch farmers erect nest
ing platforms for these well-liked
birds. The stork is altogether desir-
able, and inasmuch as stork meat is
not good eating the species has "or
been molested by sportsmen. Yet for
several years the storks Of Holland
have been becoming fewer and fewer.
Only recently has the reason been dis
covered.
The Dutch storls winter in South
Africa. In the Transvaal, where, by
an odd coincidence, most Of the people
are of Dutch descent, the farmers
have been waging war against grass
hoppers by covering their fields with
poisoned bait. The grasshoppers eat
the poison. the stOrks eat the grass
hoppers. Thus there is high mortal
ity rate in the stork family, and If it is
not checked both Holland and the
Transvaal will soon be stOrkless lands.

uo,u Bin Vessel Was saIvaaed.

One of the most novel and ingeni-
Gus instances of salvage was pro-
yIded at Folkestone, England, some
time ago. A vessel caught fire, and
was sunk deliberately close to the
quay. She turned over on her side,
and the only difficulty that presented
itself in the salvage operations was
the question of how to get her righted.
This obstacle was overcome by attach
ing wires to five large locomotives on
land. These, when all was ready,
pulled the ship over.
On another occasion, a sunken yes
sci was cut in two while under water,
raised to the surface, fitted with new
bulkheads, and brought home to be
fitted together again.

WHY:
Aspiring Youth Should Never
Wait on the Years

Sir James Barrie's recent call TO
youth" to assert itself raises several
interesting points. 1t Is said that years
bring wisdom, and that wisdom is the
result of experience. 1t would there
fore seem that youth" should leash
itself in until it has learned wisdom.
But to set against that view there IL
the record of many who have won I'M
perishable laurels while still lacking
years and all the latter are supposed
to bring, observes a London Answers
writer
Byron began to write his great
"Childe Harold" when he was about
twenty. Keats wrote "Endymion" at
twenty-five. Milton wrote I'll Penser-
oso'' at twenty-nine. Richard Brinsley
Sheridan wrote THE Rivals" at tWen-
ty-three. and the immortal school for
Scandal" when he was but twenty-siX.
Robert Burns was only nineteen when
he wrote John Barleycorn," and
Dickens was but twenty-four when he
wrote sketches by Boz" "Pickwick'
followed at twenty-five, "Oliver Twist
at twenty-six, nicholas Nickleby'' at
twenty-seven, "Barnaby Ridge and
"The Old Curiosity Shop at twenty
nine. ~ So
Shakespeare wrote many Of his best
plays Richard H." THE Merchant
of Venice" midsummer Nights
Dream" etc, before he was thirty-two.
Scores of other eXamples-could be
given, covering other professions and
arts. and the result is to show clearly
that Sir James Barrie was quite right.
Youth should never wait on the years.
The best in the world, whether it
be in literature, sculpture, painting,
etc, has been the gift of youth. The
only exception to the rule seems to
be in the realm of craftsmanship.
There, the older you are the better
you are.

All through the winter months our
forests are searched, tree after tree.
by nuthatches titmice creepers, wing
lets and woodpeckers for eggs and
other alternating forms Of insects,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
As spring advances, as buds open, as
tiny caterpillars and grubs emerge
from the egg, come the hosts of arbO-
real birds-sparrOws thrushes, war
blers and Others-sweeping through
the woods in migration. Under nor
NAL conditions they dstroy' something
like 90 per cent of the tiny caterpiI
lars Matching upon the external parts
of trees before these caterpillars be-
come large enough to attract notice.

Whv White Wheat Flour.

1t being known that present meth
DDS of milling white flour take out of
it the vital principle which contains
the vitamines, it is often asked why
whole wheat flour is not more extern
sively used. DR.. L. Emmett Holt Of
New York gave one of the principal
reasons in a discussion at the Wash
ington congress of physicians and sur
geons, when he said that white wheat
flour can be kept for months without
deterioration, while whole wheat flour
spOils within thirty days.

FREE. CAMP OFFER
Console RED GOOD
PUBLICITY stunt.
Opinion Is Given That
Much Good Advertis-
ing Would Result

There is an agitation for the estab-
Eshment Of a free camping ground
for tourists at some point within the
limits OF Palatka.
Those who have investigated the
project have found out that such in
stitutions have proved an important
factor for business in other cities,
and the statement that each year
there are added new features to the
established camps shows that they
ere believed TO be Of advantage to
each community in which they are
located.
The mere fact That Palatka does
not receive her quota of those tour
lists entering the state should be no
deterrent to the institution of q
camp which would be & drawing card
Many, no doubt, do not stop in Pa
latka because of the known condi-
tons regarding the lack Of free
grounds; as there are journals de-
voted exclusively to disseminating
news as to where there are and where
there are not such camps in Florida.
There are many who take the fliv-
yer route as the best an dmost COM
Portable method of seeing all of
Florida. They are, many of THESE
people, well able to go where fancy
dictates in a more stylish manner;
but prefer the outdoor life and the
back onature" methods. Frequ-
emily these people buy and build in
some town where they have been
camping, and after that tl4ey spend
portoni of each year in their home.
They invite others to be with them,
and these in turn frequently buy and
tuIld and boost.
If a camp is to be established in
Palatka there must be certain fit
tings for the grounds, and there must
be no charges. At the same time
there must be regulations which will
give officers the right to stop all
abuses Of the preferred hospitality
There is forbidden in the best-regu-
lated camps Of the state all indus
tries which will interfere with The
Legitimate work that is being carried
on by those who rent places for bust
ness and who pay an annual license
for the right to do business.
There are but few who viii abuse
the courtesies given by any free
camp, and when such people are met
there is an easy method of getting
rid of them. In each camp it is the
custom to elect some man as mayor
of the grounds, and he co-operates
with the city authorities to see that
all visitors are working to the end to
bring about the best conditions.
1t is understood that steps are to
be taken for the establishment of a
camp. While it is probable that a
comparatively few visitors would take
advantage of such a proposition this
season, there would be a sufficient
number to spread the news for an
fother season; when it is believed that
the many attractions found in and
about this city and county would at
tract large numbers. 1t is realized
that much good advertising woulc
follow the establishment of properly
-cnndnctad and lncated grounds

HOW

HOW
SQUIRRELS ARE USED TO
WORK FOR GOVERNMENT.
In conducting its extensive ex-
periments to discover the best
way to reforest waste lands or
burnt-oVer forest lands the for
est service has need of large
quantities of fOrest-tree seeds,
especially Of the cOne-bearing
varieties. Since these trees do
not bear evenly every year, 1t is
necessary for economic rea-
sons to ascertain in advance
what species will furnish good
seed crops each year, as well as
to undertake the gathering OPP
erations in regions where the
cones are likely to be most abun-
dant. For these reasons in
formation is collected as to the
bearing and conditions of the
trees in different parts of the ma
tional forests, sometimes as
much as two or three years In
advance. This is possible re
cause many of the species of
pines take from two to three
years to ripen their cones.
When numbering is proceeding
at the time of seed-ripening it
is comparatively simple mat
ter to gather the cones from the
felled trees. But when the trees
are to remain standing it is
sometimes rather difficult
task to get the cones without
climbing the trees. A great deal
can be accomplished with hooks
or knives attached to long poles,
but the forest rangers have
learned to make use of natures
own seed-cOllectOrS for their
purposes. Plenty of cones ure
found in the seed stores of the
squirrels. This seems to be a
very economical way for Uncle
Sam to obtain his forest seeds.
Not only is this method con-
venient, but it has the further
advantage of furnishing the best
seeds. The squirrels apparently
place in their boards only high
grade cones. Moreover, the
squirrels put their supplies away
so early that it is possible for
the foreSters to come back to
the squirrels reserves after the
cones still on the trees have
opened up and scattered their
seeds. The red squirrel is the
best collector; in many OF the
holes of this species it Is pos
sibIe to find from eight to ten
bushels of cones of good quality.
The average quantity found in a
single-cache is about two bush
els. Other animals also store
away seeds and cones, especial
ly. chipmunks and wild mice.

A small river upon which engineer

created at Washington by government
engineers if a bill introduced in Con
gress by Senator Ransdell Of LOuisi-
ana is passed. Engineers believe that
the scientific side Of river hydraulics
has not kept pace with the research
and experimentation which has ac-
companied other branches of engi-
neering, and they are urging the lab
oratory as provided in the Ransdell

The recent disastrous floods of the

are factors that are calling attention
to need of more extensive study of
