The Nature Study Club

May, the beautiful month of pro-
mise, the Nature Lover can i'll af-
ford to lose. Go where you will,
there is something to interest and
attract our attention.
Tuesday morning the Nature Study
Club went for short hike, in the
pastures back of Greenwood avenue.
A long list of birds were seen and
heard, among them the water
thrush, oven bird, black capped
thrush, otherwise known as cat
bird,) flickers, red-winged black
birds, cowbirds grackles, chipping
sparrows, song sparrows, robins, che
bees, myrtle and black-and-whit
warblerS, brown thrashers, hairy and
downy woodpeckers, phoebes, blue
birds, tree swallows, barn swallows
chickadees, and sea gulls. Many of
the birds were in song. A black
capped thrush proved especially
pleasing in his song of various notes
and melodies, as he sat in pine
tree partly concealed by the
branches, thus giving the students
long search for the author of the
sons. There was just a possibility
it might be the mocking bird of the
sunny south, as the singer used sew
eral new compositions.
Trees and flowers were blossoming,
Frightening the roadsides and pas
lures. There were sweet white VIC
lets, anemones, early everlasting.
yellow Violets, Shepherds purse and
wake robins.
Moses and lichens were in evil
dence everywhere, on the stones tree
boles, fences. as we'll as on the brown
soil of good old Mofb Earth 4
few mushrooms were found, one
helvelIa infula, curious growth and
of reddish brown color. Ferns were
just starting.
Happy is the man who can read
the messages written by the flowers
over the hill-sides and through the
fields and on the woodland carpet.
The Club will meet at two o'clock
on Friday afternoon at Mrs. Wilson's
for another short walk. and again
on Tuesday, May is, at 8 o'clock
to search again the pastures back of
Greenwood avenue.

Would Put Ice in California.

From the San Bernardino Daily sun.
A Rumanian engineer has laid be-
fore the League or Nations a plan to
warm the Arctic Ocean and thus Ioro.
mote navigation there. He says that
the warm Japan current flowing
north il detected by the Aleutian
islands and turned southwark. His
remedy Is simple. Just blast away
those islands and permit the warm
current TO continue north through
Boring Sea and straits into the Arctic.
and the Siberian Coast or the Alaskan
Coast would be warmed up, depending
on which direction the current took
after passing the straits. If It CON.
tinuea directly north even the Pole
might be melted. since we now know
that It Is nothing but a field of ice.
Assuming the practicability Of this,
scheme and such q world organiza-
ton as would render it's execution
possible, then there would be neces-
sary q careful economic estimate of
the comparative benefits and losses,
It would entail. For instance, It.
whole Pacific Coast from Alaska to-
Mexico, now made what 1t is 81 the
diversion south of the warm Japan
current. California would become as
bleak In Winter as New England.
Gone would be her oranges, her figs,
her other fruits ard nuts that depend
upon her semi-tropical climate. Gone
would be her mild Winters and gone
also would be her Winter visitors
from what are now less favored sec
lions Of the country.
1t might be that the benefits de.
rived by the world from less frfgid
top.of- the-eafth route OF travel would
offset the great destruction Of the de-
sirable things that are. but one to
hold that opinion must live elsewhere
than in California. Nature has or
ganized things fairly well. We help
her out a little, here and there. but
reversing her processes on so grand
g. scale might have unexpected and
disastrous results. As our friend
Hamlet so aptly says. we had better
bear our present troubles than try
to get rid of them by grabbing q
handful OF new ones.
