The new tariff which went into
effect ON September %, has brought
changes that are of interest to i'm
porters in this vicinity
The new law provides that every
customs port shall be designated and
have the privileges of ports that
hitherto were known as "it'' or in
transit ports. This gives importers
the opportunity of having imported
articles sent through the border
ports to the custom house nearest
their own town, where the customs
papers, charges or duties can be fixed
up.
This is made possible because of
an ARRANGEMENT with the American
Railway Express, and other COM
panies, which have regular offices at
the Hancock county ports of Bar
Harbor, Ellsworth and Southwest
Harbor. Hancock county importers
who wish to take advantage of the
new ruling should order all of their
importations marked by the shipper
"For Intransit Shipment to Custom
House" at either Bar Harbor, Ellis
worth or Southwest Harbor.
The collector Of customs at Port
land wishes the public to know of
the opportunity thus offered, believ-
ing that if the importing public takes
advantage of intransit shipments by
rail that the custom ports, as we'll as
the importers, may benefit thereby

From a Bird Lover.

Ellsworth, Me-, Oct. 70, 1922.
To the Editor of The Ellsworth
American:
The item in last weeks American
by DR.. Patch needs careful attention
as regard the saving of our birds.
1t is a question that should interest
all, for we see the ravages the insect
pests have done this year to all grow
ing things, and without doubt, if our
birds had been encouraged to stay
with us, instead of being killed by
their enemies, we would have had
less fighting to do ourselves.
Take our robins for instance.
1.-THE laborer should be worthy of his
hire" but because he takes few
strawberries, he is killed and fright
ened away I had until the past two
years four pairs of robins which
nestled year after year within sight
of the house, and two pairs had each
a nest on each side Of the house.
They became very tame and friendly.
When we worked in the garden, they
followed us along the rows so near
we could almost touch them with
rake or hoe, and they surely earned
their hire when it came to the green
cabbage worms. One pair was
caught by a hawk, and the other was
killed by the striped squirrels.
While l admit that cats are very
destructive to bird life, still SPUR
rels seem to wantonly kill, for they
kill the parent birds, then the young,
and throw them from the nest. They
also destroy the eggs.
Can we not start something in the
shape of bird league, to encourage
the birds to come back to us? We
have siXty-seven acres, mostly woods,
and / will gladly post notices all over
it that no birds are to be disturbed.
Let us see to it that boys with air
rifles do less shooting at them.
AS regards cats, l myself am a
lover of cats, and l think mine is
worth good money. He is ten years
old, always stays at home, and is
death on mice, rats and moles.
While l do not say he does not catch
birds, this much l will say, he knows
enough not to let me catch him at it.
When anyone knows a cat will and
does wantonly catch all the birds it
can, why not get rid of it? But

see three, four and sometimes five
cats in one family, and, as usual
thing, most or all of them females
with a family. Why not keep one
and give it what the rest has to eat?
Then it will not be SO hungry it will
kill every bird it sees.
One remedy is to license all fe-
male cats and all males that are not
unsexed, and we will have nicer
lot of cats and conserve our birds.
The Nheartless way of dropping
cats" ought to be punished with a
fine. When one is done with a cat,
it should be put out of the way in
humane way.
Let all bird lovers get together
and make this town real bird
haven.
Very truly yours,
Mrs. William Norris.

PROTECTION FOR WILD BIRDS
Sanctuaries Recently Established in
Lower Gulf Coast Region Of Tex.
as-Much Animal Life There.

Three wild-bird sanctuaries have
Just been established In the lower
Gulf Coast region of Texas, under the
direction Of T. Gilbert Pearson, pres
ldent of the National Association Of
Audubon Societies, who has been
spending several weeks in that sec
ton making study of bird life The
reservations which have been taken
over for the breeding and protection
Of birds are Green island, North Bird
island and South Bird island. These
islands already are populated by many
birds, some OF which are to be found
in no other part Of the United States.
During the research Of the lower
border region, Mr.. Pearson says, he
discovered not only practically I'M
known species Of birds, living In the
dense chaparral, but he found the
wilderness alive with other kinds Of
wild animal life. He was especially
interested In the collared peecary,
commonly known In this region as the
iavelna, or wild Mexican hog. These
ferecious animals roam the chaparral
by the thousands. Mr.. Pearson said:
"The peccary is the gamest and most
dangerous wild animal in the United
States. The grizzly bear Is the only
animal which places the sportsman in
the same danger An enraged moose
will now and then give hunter plenty
of actIou, but wounded peccary will
always show fight And when his com
panlons smell his blood the hunter Is
In danger of attack from a herd of
them"
The peccary Is something like a
cross between an antelope and wild
boar. 1t is hunted by the Mexlcans
for Its hide and bristles, and while
its meat is palatable, it cannot be
kept like that of the pig.
It has two sets of tusks, polished
sharp and adjusted almost with the
precision of surgical scissors Mr.
Pearson related an incident in which
peccary attacked hunter, cut
through his chaps and boot, leg and
bone. The man was on horseback
The animal charged after being NOR
tally wounded. making terrible noise
by swapping his jaws as he came on.
He dropped dead ten or twelve feet
from where Mr.. Pearson was.

Hindu Legend.

In Tiruvannamallai, South Ascot
India, great fire festival is held each
year, the inception of which recalls
one of the famous legends connected
with Hindu mythology. Many years
ago, the legend runs, silva, the de-
stroyer, and his wife, Paravati, were
wandering through Kailasa, the Hindu
paradise. 1t was the twilight hour, and
the flower garden In which they
strolled was filed with the seductive
perfumes of the East. In a flirtatious
moment Paravati playfully covered the
teyes of her lord with her shapely
hands and drew the cody head to her
bosom. The time quickly passed for
these wanderers in Elysium. But
what seemed but moment to them
was period of many years for the
hapless inhabitants of the world.
whose sun and moon had thus been
darkened. When silva realized the
hardship which his wlfes coquetry had
caused he sent her forth to do penance
at the various holy places with which
the southern portion Of India Is dotted
When she at last reached Tiruvanna,
mallai, the famous "Holy Fire Fill"
of South Ascot district, silva appeared
at the top of the isolated peak as
sign that his wife's thoughtlessness
was forgiven.
