OCEAN MAIL WELL WATCHED
Officers of Experience Keep a Con-
slant Check of the Pouches on
Vessels at Sea.

The disappearance of several mail
bags from the Atlantic Transportation
c9mpany's mail steamer, the Mime
kahda, is strange occurrence.
That it is due to an error in check
ing can almost be considered rs i'm
possible, for SO often and accurately
are the mails counted by postal ex-
perts that SO large an error could
never have occurred, observes London
Tit-BitS.
When mails arrive on the quay side
for transshipment to the waiting mail
boat they are taken out of the closely
guarded van and transferred to the
floor of the shed alongside which Ne
ship is berthed.
Then comes the work of loading and
checking the mails. The task is per-
formed by two Independent checkers,
one representing the postal authori-
ties, who are responsible for the safe
ty of the mails till they are finally
on board the mail boat, the other be-
Ing the mail officer Of the ship, usual
~ the second officer a man of fldny
years experience and service in the
company.
Each bag is counted as it is car
ried up the gangway and placed in the
mail-rOom-a specially constructed
and burgarproof compartment
where yet another officer is superin-
tending the slowing and guarding
against any possible pilferng.
When the last bag is safely aboard,
usually about an hour before sailing
time, the tally is reckoned up, and the
second officer signs receipt for the
number of bags aboard his ship.
Now the responsibility of the posts
authorities is ended. The keys are
handed over to the commander who
only parts with them for a few MN
utes each day. when they are handed
to the mail officer whose duty it is
to visit the mail-room and see that
everything is secure,
Each day of the voyage across the
Atlantic he carries out this duty, and
il daily entry is made in the official
log book "Mail-room visited ut noon
everything correct"
When port is reached the same
S9rupuious care is taken in unloading
the mails. The mail train draws AZ
alongside the ship. Each bag is again
checked as it is placed in the van. am
the second officer breatheS Il sigh oi
relief as the postal official signs tAe
receipt that testties that the lAail ..
the X. NJ. s. --- has been received
intact and in good condition.

1t is hard to believe that the hand
some, agile, graceful red squirrel
which adds such a picturesque note
to our lawns and parks is an in
veterate destroyer of the eggs and
young of useful birds and spends
much of his time in searching out
nests among the trees. Such how
ever are his habits and naturalists
and sportsmen class him as one of
the most vicious of all game destroy
ing animals.
In many places war has been de-
clared on him by sportsmen who are
particularly interested in Kidding
their neighborhood of ''yermin,' as
the birds and animals are called
which prey on useful species. a
great mass of evidence has been col
lected against the squirrel, showing
that his depredations are such as to
make it necessary to keep down his
number if insectiYorous birds are to
be allowed to flourish and help out in
their useful work.
The late John Burroughs wrote of
the red squirrel:
Nearly all the birds look upon it
as their enemy and attack and an
noy it when 1t appears near their
breeding haunts. Thus | have seen
the peUee, the cuckoo. the robin and
the wood thrush pursuing it with
angry voice and gestures. If you
wish the birds to breed and thrive in
your orchards and groves, kill every
red squirrel that infests the place"
