Mother Care in Birdland.

A touching example of mothers
loving care and self forgetfulness
was observed recently.
A pair of yellow Warblers had
nestled in a nearby shrub. Unfor-
tunately the nest was placed in such
a position that it was not shaded ex-
cept in the early morning and late
afternoon.
After the young ones were Matched,
the weather became exceedingly hot,
The little mother seemed to realize
that her nestlings could not long sur
vive if the sun shone directly upon
their unfledged bodies; so each day
from about nine or ten o'clock in the
forenoon till four in the afternoon,
she stood with wings outspread,
upon the edge of the nest and shaded
them. She shifted her position dur
ing the day from southeast to south,
and then to southwest of the little
ones, so that she might shade them
perfectly with her tiny body.
When, at last, the welcome shade
of a tree fell upon the nest, she hur-
ried away to help her little mate,
who had been working alone all day
trying to supply the young with food.

BACTERIA FROM THE RIFLE
interesting Experiment Proves They
Can Be Fired From a Gun With
out Apparent Injury.

A singular experiment with bacteria
is that of a French Investigator, who
has proved that those microscopic
enemies to human life and health can
be fired out of a gun without suffering
any apparent injury.
He has infected rifle bullets with
bacteria and then fired the bullets into
tin boxes filled with a gelatin prepara-
ton suitable for the noIrishment OF
the organisms. Upon watching
the holes MADE by the bullets in the
PREPARATION he found that the precise
forms of bacteria with which the bull
lets had been charged rapidly devel-
oped there although it was known
that no organisms existed in the gela-
tin previous to the experiment.
He has even found that bullet will
pick up bacteria from the air during
its flight, or from clothing through
which it passes. and deposit them, still
active and living, in a gelatin target.

Locomotive Pile Driver.

A unique development in mechanical
engineering is a locomotive pile driver,
in which there is an unusual arrange
ment and strength of the self-propel-
ling mechanism and in the sefcon-
tanned hydraulic turntable, whereby
the entire machine, including trucks,
is quickly Fitted clear of the rails and
turned end for end. The engines on
the car are connected to the aXles of
ordinary trucks without interfering
with the movement Of the trucks in
turning curves, passing over frogs, and
the like. The machine was designed
to meet the requirement for pile driv-
er capable OF climbing any grade and
hauling its own ears of piles and tools,
The self-propeIling pile drivers built
hitherto have been capable of NOV
ing themselves for short distances
only.

G1RALS MEAT EATERS
Geo'ocic9l Survey Head Discovers No
Vegetation in Whole Colony in
the ToftuJas.

The builders of coral reefs and is
lands are entirely meat-eating animals,
according TO the report of Dr. r. Way
land Vaughan of the United States
geological survey to the Pan-Pacific
science congress, which recently held
its meeting in the Antipodes, says a
Melbourne (Australia) correspondent
Of the New York Evening Post In ex-
periments conducted by him in the Tor
tugas, in the Gulf of Mexico, corals per-
sistently refused a vegetable diet, but
even water tleGs were not swift enough
to dodge the lightning-like tentacles of
these carnivorous creatures.
The living coral is branched col
ony of individuals all connected to-
gether, and with their soft bodies en-
cased in strong shells. Each individual
is little more than a stomach, with a
mouth surrounded by tentacles and
sheltered in little cup of the limey
skeleton within which the whole colony
Is inclosed.
Doctor Vaughan described how when
little beef juice or small bit of
meat, usually crab flesh or fish, was
offered, the tentacles at the outer edge
of the colony would begin to appear
Then the stimulus was transmitted to
other members of the colony until soon
the surface of the specimen had opened
ont like a beautiful flower. This con
dition, he explains, seems to Indicate
that the coral colony is hungry and
ready to capture food.
Many different kinds of food were
offered corals, Doctor Vaughan said,
but they took only animal food No
kind of purely vegetable food was
taken by any one Of the numerous
species investigated. Pieces of plants
coated with small animals soaked in
meat juice were swallowed, but later
the vegetable matter was elected

Mrs. Fred Wescott, clerk at the
Freeman store, is taking a weeks va

that short period of absence will be
regretted, not only by the proprietor,
but by all to whom she has endeared
herself by her unfailing patience and
good will in serving customers.
AS January 1 6 was the anniversary
of the adoption of national prohibit
ton, Rev. Lloyd e. Marble at the

lent sermon, commemorative of the

1t is a matter of interest to South
west Harbor people to learn that Les
ter WasS has been selected captain of
the freshman basketball team at the
u. of M, where he is a student AS
Henry Wass (Buster) is captain of
the Southwest Harbor team, much
speculation regarding the outcome of
the game of the opposing teams to
be played at Orono, Feb 1, is cur
rent here among the friends of both
captains.
Christopher Lawler, with Frank
Black and Linwood Dunbar as team
sters, took his two spans of horses to
Lakeview, where they will be en-
ployed for the winter by the Ameri-

rangements for his men and teams,
Mr.. Lawler returned here to look
after his ice cutting, which owing
to mild weather, will be later than
usual.
Letters received from Mark Law
Ter from Indiana note the fact that
they have recently experienced a cold
wave, the thermometer dropping to
seven below zero, which is unusually
cold for that section. Real summer
in Georgia during Christmas week,
with Aroostook fifteen degrees below
zero and Maine coast towns in mild
thaw, it's hard telling the average
Maine temperature.

ciety was entertained January 16 by

OLD WOOD sa.. 5 IF nA4
tennessee Was Equipped With Bet
Sails and Steam--Vetsran Seamen
Mistrusted New inventions.

His 46 years in the service were
spent during the navys transitional
times. When he entered the Naval
academy all of our war vessels were
wooden sailing ships; his midship
mans cruises were made aboard the
Constellation-she was so low between
decks that only a half-grown boy
could stand erect; so badly ventilated
through her tiny portfolios that ones
mouth tasted like copper penny in
the mornng-but, oh, the satisfying
beauty of those old full-rigged sailing
ships The admiral's thoughts went
yearningly back to the memory Of the
towering, sun-drenched white sails and
colorful old hulls coming up like gulls
across the horizon line over the rim of
the world the ultimate perfection of
grace, symmetry and romance.
'The navy's always been conserva-
tive! decided the admiral, affection
ately remembering the old-time COM
modores who, through wide and varied
experience, had come to have a ripe
knowledge and respect for the ways
of the wind, and who entertained
neither interest nor enthusiasm where
innovations were concerned Steam
did not intrigue them they mistrusted
it and took grudging chances with this
new motive power; sails were retained
as a guaranty of sanity and safety
long after the use of steam had pro
crossed far beyond the experimental
stage. The admiral chuckled, re-
calling the old TennesSee-which car
ried just enough coal to steam out of
port; then, at the harbor's mouth,
dumped the fires and hoisted her
faithful sails, as did all the vessels of
that early feet-Rappahannock, Bos-
ton, Galena, Philadelphia, Yantic,
'Quinnebog, Swatara the admiral
named them over to himself like Il
well-beloved rosary, and eXulted in the
precious memory of those gallant years
when sails were still spread, adven.
ture still fourished and fighting men
still looked their adversaries in the
eyes-instead of shooting impersonally
at them from u miles away!
1--WE lived too longr" decided the
admiral with grimness; then smiled
ruefully at the sudden remembrance of
his first cruise aboard the Bear; de-
tailed to search around Alaska for
Greely's missing ship.-Harriet WelleS

BIRD SHRINE.
Tract Surrounding Roosevelt's Grave
to Be Bird Sanctuary.

10 lie Bro sanctuary.
Eleven and a half acres of land
surrounding Young's Memorial ceme-
terry at Oyster Bay, N. Y, which con-
tains the grave of Theodore Roose-
welt, have been presented by the
cousin, w. Emlen Roosevelt, to the
National Association of Audubon
Societies, for a wild bird sanctuary
and shrine for bird lovers.
Mr.. Roosevelt, whose estate adj
joins the late Presidents home at
Sycamore Hill, has turned over to the
association "a veritable Jungle. an
ideal home for wild fowl and a fit
ting memorial to Mr.. Roosevelts love
for wild things" says Mr.. Pearson,
president of the association. The
gift has been accepted and plans
made for spending thousands of dol
lars in carrying out the donors ideas
Theodore Roosevelt was a good
friend of the association" Mr..
Pearson said. His first book was
written on the birds of Oyster Bay
and he was president of the Bird
club of Long Island when he died
So it is very appropriate to erect a
biry sanctuary in his name.
"The land was bought originally
byEmlen Roosevelt when he noticed
the large number of visitors to Theo-
dore Roosevelt's grave and feared
that some one might set up a store or
refreshment stand near by 1t sur
rounds the small graveyard on three
sides.
I'VE have leased ten-room build
ing at the side of the grounds for
period of ten years, and will make
it a bird museum and library for
students and pilgrims to Roosevelt's
grave. A first class naturalist will
be in charge of the house and
grounds, and we expect to have a
very attractive place. One feature
will be a large bird fountain in the
center of a court by the roadside,
where bird enthusiasts can watch the
birds drink and battle.
I'VE will plant trees, shrubs and
vines which bear the fruit which birds
like best throughout the grounds, but
will preserve the existing jungle so
far as possible. We hope to get these
trees and shrubs from the residents
of Long Island Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt has asked us to take some
of them from Sycamore Hill,
I'VE will have nesting houses for
birds built in many places ON the
grounds, and will provide a number
of drinking places Emlen Roosevelt
built a cat proof fence around the
grounds before he presented the
place to us"

Government Hunts Animal Prowlers

Did you know that Uncle Sam
maintains standing army of big
game hunters whose duty it is to
protect the livestock of the country
by killing off predatory animals?
This army is under the direction Of
the United States Biological Survey.
Last year they shot, poisoned or
trapped more than 10000 wild ami
mails in stock-raising sections. In
seven years their rifles have brought
down more than $4,000 stock-kill-
ing beasts, and they are credited with
saving $35, 100000 worth of domes
tic livestock.
A veteran of this service is Ben V.
Lily, of New Mexico, who is seventy
years old and has been a big game
hunter for sixty years. The story of
his adventures is told in the Popular
Science Monthly. Lily has killed
more than 500 mountain lions, and
official estimates show that his cam
paigns against wild animals have
saved stockmen in the West many
thousands of dollars annually for
wears
