rsoerai Law for the Protection Of
Game Birds Has Had One
Good Effect.

One of Americas birds of gor-
geous, glorious plumage is coming
back. In some parts of the country
it has come back. Americans who
like birds for hnmanity's sake and
for the grace and beauty of birds
are glad, and American hunters who
like birds for the sport they provide
are glad, but their shooting propen-
sites will be restrained.
Because of the benefcent working
of the federal law for the protection
of birds, the wood duck has shown
q remarkable comeback" in many
sections of the country, and reports
to this effect have gone to the Amer
lean Game Protective association.
This duck, unlike the mallard, can
vasback, redhead and other classic
ducks, is a fresh-water and not a
seagoing duck. 1t swims and dives
in lakes, ponds and rivers, often
thousand miles from the seacoast.
1t feeds on insects, snails, musseIs,
tadpoles, small fish, acorns, berries,
nuts, wild grapes, rice and other
things.

and lighthouse on the south coast.
IN 1899 Marconi read a paper on

stitution of Electrical Engineers in
London.
Early in 1901 telegraphic commu-
nicatlon was established between two
points more than $50 miles distant
and at the end of that year Marconi
transmitted signals from Poldhu, in
Cornwall to st. Johns, Newfoundland.
In 1902 he received on board the
steamship Philadelphia in the pres

over 1900 miles from the transmit

madam government for TRANSATLANTIC
wireless telegraphy, was put into
communication with the Cornwall sta
uon at Poldhu and inaugural messages
were transmitted to the King OF
England, the King Of Italy and to
the London Times. In October, 1903,
tne steamship Lucania published

received from the Marconi stations.

URGES CULTIVATION OF NUTS
New York Scientist Points out the
Possibility Of Their Growth in
Waste Places.

DR.. Robert T. Morris of New
York has just published a book on
nut-growing, in which he extols
the high qualities of nuts as human
food and points out the possibilities
of their culture even in the waste
places of the earth. Doctor Morris
has applied to the grating of nut
trees some of the principles of hui
man surgery, and by SO doing has
overcome many of the difficulties Of
tree grating.
In another chapter Doctor Morris
points out the mistake into which
Nautilus fell when he foretold that
before long the earth would become
overpopulated. Nautilus in his CAL
culations overlooked a phenomenon
that is well known to every farmer
namely, the running out of any
variety of cultivated plant or ami

comes more intense, sterility grad
