that he will regard the agreement yoa

TO PRESERVE HISTORIC PEN
That Used by Secretary of State
Hughes on Important Occasion
in Care of D. A. r.

The Flagstaff penholder used by Sec
rotary of State Hughes in signing the
treaties agreed upon by the delegates
at the recent conference on the linn
itation of armament in Washington
will be preserved to posterity in the
custody of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, probably in Memorial
Continental hall, where the treaties
were signed.
The penholder is made of native
woods from % states and territories,
and is decorated with miniature flags
of % nations, including the nine rep
resented at the conference and several
of the allied powers in the World war.
The woods were collected and fash
Toned into penholder about IA inches
long by David Fairbanks of Chicago.
Two small pieces Of wood used in
its manufacture are of special his
toric interest. The section of cotton
wood from Michigan was taken from
a tree standing on the ground where
the old Indian chief, Pontiac, fought
his last battle with the British in
1853, and the piece Of red cedar from
South Carolina came from a tree
planted by the statesman John c. Cal
houn.

the ducks remain on Lake Merritt I'M
til we'll in February, seeming to know
by some physical barometer of their
own, just when the ice is going out
in the Yukon, so that they are safe
in starting northward.
Study of the birds on Lake Merritt
has developed some very interesting
facts. For instance, when the ducks
first arrived they were least afraid
of the attendant who fed them, and
finally lost fear of him altogether,
playing about his feet and eating from
his hands like poultry in a barnyard.
This attendant has evolved a shrin
whistle, at sound of which the ducks
from all parts of the lake will come
flying at top speed, tumbling like
divers on the grass in front of him
to receive their food.
1t was also found that the ducks,
even On the first day of their arrival,
were absolutely unafraid of an auto
mobile. If a human being on foot
disturbs them when they are on the
land, or when on the water close to
shore, they are still not frightened
enough to take flight. The appearance
of dog, however, even at a distance,
is sufficient to send all the ducks rush.
ing to mass together in RATS in the
center of the lake. The result of this
last discovery is new ordinance
forbidding the taking of any dog to
the park during the time Of the fes-
tival
Ey the time the festival is held.
midway of the season of the ducks
in Oakland, the birds, of course, have
lost all fear Of human beings, either
on foot, or in automobiles, since they
are accustomed to the visits of thou
sands of men, women, and children
every Sunday. Even during the pag-
cant, however, the log boom across
the upper end of the lake remains
closed, and the boats are not allowed
in the part of the lake reserved for
the birds, so that young ducks, or those
which are new to the lake and all the
people, may retreat to the center of
this preserve and there remain I'M
disturbed.
What first attracted these wild
ducks TO Oakland for the winter has
never been satisfactorily explained.
AS a general rule, wild ducks shun
civilization; they seem to sense
danger. That is why the hunter uses
decoys and blinds in his effort to
bag them. At first only a few ducks
dropped into Lake Merritt on their
way from the north, and as they were
not annoyed by the hunters gunshot,
dogs or other enemies, they remained
for the winter. The number of feath-
cred visitors has increased each year
until the present tremendous f1ocks.
Under the present federal migratory
bird law the birds now have chance
TO hold their own and even to increase.
They cooperate with man by taking
every advantage of protection with
almost human intelligence.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1922-04-21

and every variety of firearms are
lake is located, from the time the
ducks begin coming in until they have
left in the spring.
Due to this protection, an annually
increasing number of ducks are now
actually remaining every summer to
nest and rear their young in reed
grown corners of the lake, where they
are rigidly protected and fed all the
year round. The result is that May
and June see many families Of ducks
on this lake, in the midst of the best
residential section of Oakland.
The young Of these city-bred birds,
urged By nature to return to their
birthplace for their own nesting the
year following their birth, naturally
increase the number of resident ducks
on Lake Merritt, until in time there
will be a large flock of permanent
birds in the city.
The first wild ducks to arrive in
the autumn are pitfalls, which begin
to settle down on the lake by the
last week of August, and by the first
of September are on hand by thou
sands The majority of these come
from the Klamath lake reservation,
near the border line of California and
Oregon. The pitfalls are the most
clannish of ducks, focking together
in large RATS on the lake, feeding
together in fiocks, and parading up
and down the lawns in regiments.
They are almost as fearless as the
mallard-said to be the ancestor Of
the domestic duck-and soon lose all
fear Of man.
The second autumn flight Of ducks
includes pitfalls, widgeons, teals, SHOW
eIers, and mallards This migratory
horde comes about the middle of Oc-
tOber, and from much farther north
than the klamath reservation, the
movement having its origin in that
part of Alaska known as 'the fats"
consisting Of about 300 square miles
of marshlands in the vicinity of Circle
City and Rampant. AS the feeding
and nesting grounds become frozen,
the ducks start southwark, and the
time of their arrival, Of course, de-
ponds to some extent on the weather
conditions on "the flats" This flight
is much larger than the first, and
brings the bulk of the birds to Lake
Merritt.
There is a third and last fight,
which comes from even farther north,
starting in tha Yukon delta Tn tbiS
fight come myriads of shore birds, a.
few Of which visit Lake Merritt, but
the most Of which hunt the mud flats
farther south, along the coast Of Cal
ifornia. Lower California, Mexico, and
Central and South America. Travel
ers in this flight begin to arrive
shortly after October 18th. and thou
sands of them go to their favorite
feeding grounds in the vast marshes
between San Francisco and Sacrament

Here is what happens: A motorboat

out into the harbor and drops anchor.
From nearby hangers come galloping
a dozen Pegasuses. They take the
air, and when they are equidistant
from the launch, at a safe altitude
the little balloons are released and go
