BOOKS READ BY TRAVELLERS

The writer of the daily literary

the collections Of books provided by

gers. He has always had the theory,
he says. that In these large and lux
urious vessels the second-clnss library
would be likely Ia be more in line with
his own tastes than the first-class
library, and his visit TO the boat has
confirmed this supposition. In the
second class. for instance. there were
more vensnns--including TREASURE

STORE FUTURE FOOD SUPPLY
Woodpeckers Are Wise Birds ano
Never Take the Chance OF
Finding Larder Bare.

California wapdpeckers often pass
much of their idle time in the light
occupation of filling holes In tree
trunks with pebbles. When they are
really industrious, however, they man.
ufacture these symmetrical holes and
fill them snugly with ac0rns. Often
they allow these acorns TO remain In
cold storage for several months, and
then. when they need extra rations
they know where supply can readily
be found When oaks and pines grow
side by side. the birds usually favor
the pines as storage trees. This Is
probably because II Is only on such
trees TINT the outer bark presents a
suitnble surface for drilling the holes
No living oak trees are used, but dead
oaks. from which the bark has fallen
are chosen.
Tive vast number Of such holes that
single tree trunk can contain maS be
Inferred from the fact that In 30 feet
of fallen pine tree In the San Jaein-
to mountains Of California II was esti-
mated that there were 81 500 holes
Almost without exception the acorns
are inserted into the holes. The birds
take great pains t. hammer them In
securely. They like not only the
acorns. but the grubs that are often
contained In them As for the peb-
bles. they must make a speciality OF
