MIGRATORY BIRDS PROVE
ROBBERS OF ORCHARDS
Fruit Growers Suffer Heavy
Losses Through Raids
by Visitors.
From the Country Gentleman Magazine.

From the Country Gentleman Magazine.
In some sections there has been
marked increase in the number OF ma
tive song birds, due probably to the
migratory bird law, which protects
them. AS a result fruit growers are
experiencing some trouble in protect
ing soft fruits.
Last Summer the writer had one
Montmorency cherry tree near his
house, and some distance from the
main cherry orchard, that simply
swarmed with birds as long as the
fruit lasted. One or two small
branches were broken by the weight
of the birds. About the only solution
seems to be to grow more fruit than
the birds can use. The one-tree cherry
grower is simply out of luck.
Strawberries are often eagerly eaten
by the birds also, and the birds seem

The 80 Years War.
From the Kansas City Star.

The name of Thirty Years War is
collectively applied to a series of wars
in Germany that lasted from 1913 to
1913, a period of 80 years. This long
struggle was terminated by the peace
of Westphalia. The war had its or
igin in the quarrels between the Cath.
olics and ProtestantS of Germany, but
after 1885 it degenerated into a po
litical struggle between Austria on the
one side and France and Sweden on
the other.

this is due to it's high quality or to it's
long fruit stems would be hard to say.
At any rate, the grower does not have
much chance of getting the first
Cooper berries that ripen.
The plants are very vigorous and
productive, and, as stated above, the
fruit stems are long, holding the fruit
well above the ground, where 1t can
be easily seen. After the birds have

ARTIFICIAL SNOW
 ID FIGHT FLAMES
Carbon DioXide Used in Fire
 Distinguishing

Pittsburgh, Jan. 9.-Mauufactur- cd "snowstorms" to be used in ex- tinguishing fires and produced through the use Of carbon dioXide, have been developed at the Mellon institute of industrial research.
 Dr. Charles L. Jones who made the discovery after three years of research is authority for the state ment that the snow" Is effective when used to put out fires in places so enclosed that an extinctive at mosphere can be maintained, such as in mines. ship holds, cargo spaces, engine rooms, cellars, warehouses, dust collectors and electric genera tors.
 Speaking Of his discovery Dr. Jones said:
 When liquifed carbon dioxide is passed from cylinder pressure to at mosphcric pressure, the liquid boils, its latent heat of vaporization being supplied by the cooling of the gas and the residual liquid, until the liquid is solidihed to a snow. The snow continues to sublime until its 1apor pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure, after which further sublimation can take place only through the addition of heat from an external source. Its tenn perature is then 110 degrees below zero fahrenheit"
 When the dioXide is employed at this temperature, it carries, in sus- pension, very finely divided carbon dioxide snow, and the flame is liter ally chilled out of existence. A fea- ture of the method is the fact that property adjacent to the fire is not damaged by the snow"
 Carbon dioxide eXtihguishers of the past have depended entirely upon smothering effect, and not upon the i cooling and quenching effect of car bon dioxide snow," Dr. Jones e1- plained.

 Put your hands up," he replied, forcing his way in and drawing a pistol.
 Mrs. Corbett, who had turned back on hearing the sounds in the kitchen, ran back just in time to see the man with the revolver and one hand at her daughters throat. She threw the glass at him, covering his face with milk and then flew at him, shouting to her daughter to run for help.
