York and the New England states
studying the habits of birds during
the nesting season.
He has photographed some 200
birds in their natural haunts. and
from these photographs has develop

japanese transparent dyes. The birds
range from the tiny humming bird to
the great eagles photographed near
Oneida lake. In his lecture, Professor
Findlay showed some of our most de-
structive insects and their particular
bird foes. showing plainly which spe-
cies help to keep our plants, and
trees from being destroyed by insect
foes.
The hen grouse, who was proved

beetles in one day, he used as an il

Do Burros Ever Die?

Adventure Magazine received the
following letter from one of it's read
erS:
II have lived all my life in the
West, Colorado, Nevada and for last
seven years in California. have
had some experience around deserts,
mining camps. ETC., and come in con-
tact with numerous ld-timers'-
miners, cowmen, prospectors and adj
venturers. Have packed, driven, rid
den and owned burros and in all my
experience and in accordance with
all. the legends I listened to, have
never yet seen or heard of burro
that died a natural death, from old
age or disease. I have seen many
which looked about to fall apart and
were almost starved but with a few
weeks of feeding they would take on
flesh, liven up and give the appear
ance Of a yearling. I heard the
rumor when was about twelve years
of age that they never died and over
since have tried at every opportun-
ity to learn of some one who has
seen them die"

Industrial effort and it bears a
close relationship to thrift. More
and more we are learning the diff
ference between charity and the
earned reward. Success, through
mutually Of effort, should bring
corresponding mutually of reward.
Such processes are constructive.
The earned dollar. so to- speak,
means new wealth. But the do
mated dollar can be viewed only
from the standpoint of charity.
1t is important in our Industrial
life that good service be regarded
by the employee in the light of
personal thrift.
Thrift is progressive. The long.
er one practices 1t the more en-.
joyable 1t becomes, and the more
satisfying are Its benefits.
Loyalty and faithfulness Of ef-
fort, rightfully rewarded. produce
the same reactions.
There is no better type Of thrift
than complete cooperation be.
tween employer and employee. The
more nearly they attain the re-.
lationship Of co-workers, with a
mutually Of confidence. enthus.
iasm and reward, the greater will
be the successful outcome of their
relationship,

Death Valley

Death Valley is SO called because
in summer it kills. A man plays out
in three summers, usually.
The valley is gray and somber.
From April to October it is hell.
From October to April it averages
very comfortable. Then come ducks,
geese. quail, robins, blackbirds. lynx.
bobcats. rabbits, coyoes, badger, bats.
mice. rats, gophers, skunks and
foxes, only to clear out as soon as
summer begins again.

Ten minutes on the sand will bake

1t is jerry within the hour. Alfalfa

A large part of the valley is
borax marsh. Parts of this carry
only thin crust, but in the south the
crust is so thick there is a road across
1t six miles long, on which they haul
the twenty mule loads of borax.
Summer heat runs up as high as
160 degrees, highest on earth. At
midnight it often touches 120. The
only animal life found in the valley
in Summer is snakes and other rep
tiles.
The average humidity Of Death
Valley is only .01 of per cent.

body fast enough to send him insane

to touch q rock with his bare hands
in midday. -
The first of many deaths recorded
against Death Valley and the one that
first gave it the name, was when thir-
ty men. women and children tried
to cross it. A dozen escaped alive.
Ten years later the bones, wagons,
utensils, yokes. chains, guns, revolt
vers, even children's toys, were found.
No rain had fallen on them in all
that time. The Piute Indians had
left them untouched from supersti-
tious fear.-From Adventure Maya

At that instant, unfortunately. the

to rise and dress, and SO we lunched
at her bedside.

Then irrelevantly she observed:
"There is nothing so wonderful as
