SONG SPARROW Mi GPTIMiST
Cheery Bird, Permanent Resident,
Asks Little fer Services, Which
Are Valuable.
The song sparrow, cheery-voiced
forerunner of spring, is the subject of
an article by Miss Harriet E. Bancr \
which appears in the Ohio Arbor and
Bird Day Manual, issued by the state
department of public instruction for
use in the schools. In telling about
the song sparrow Miss Bancroft says:
“There are so many different kinds
cf small, sober hued birds, which look
alike, and yet are not alike, that you
wonder how you are to distinguish this
one from the others. Each bird has
his recognition mark and song spar
row's i« the spot in the middle of his
speckled breast; and while in color
he is of tiie earth, earthy, and hears
ui>on his breast a spot, you must not
think that these are I lie outward signs
of an inward blemish, because lie
hasn't any.
“There is great variation in the hab
its of different sparrows with respect
to migration. The tree sparrow is
with us only in winter, tiie field spar
row is a summer bird, the white
crowned migrant; that is, he pays us
a short visit in the spring and again In
the fall, while on his way to mere re- i
mote regions; but song sparrow is a
permanent resident in nearly ail parts
of the state. He shares with us the
storms as well as the sunshine cf the
rounded year.
“His cone-shaped bill tells you that j
he is a seed-eating bird and the vreeds \
yield him a plentiful supp'y of them. |
He also eats slugs and worms and \
ground-inhabiting insects when they i
are to be had, and his choice of diet I
makes him a valuable assistant to the
farmer. He helps him in his warfare |
on troublesome weeds and harmful In
sects.
“It is not too much to say that who- ;
evei or whatever helps the farmer to
grow better crops, helps the whole
world along; but song sparrow'’s serv
ices do not stop here; his finest is that
which he renders to our weary spirits
when he cheers them with his song.
For all the help he gives he asks
nothing in return but the privilege of
living out liis little life unmolested.
“It Is said that he and his mate will
raise three and even four broods in a
season, if the weasf la. the red squir
rels. the rals, the crows, the hawks,
the blacksnnkes and other ill disposed
creatures do not harry their lowly
nest, which distressing occurrence Is
all too frequent."
Water fer an Army.
One of the numberless tasks of the
general staff of a groat army is (o pro
vide water for the soldiers and the
horses. The Scientific American de
scribes some of tiie methods em
ployed. Only running water is used.
In the German army the upstream
water is used for drinking, and the
downstream water for watering the
horses and for bathing. Suitable
signs notify the men which water they
may safely drink and which they may
use only for bathing. In shallow or
narrow streams basins are dug or
small dams built, in order to form
reservoirs of sufficient size. Stepping
stones are put down so that no one
need walk through the water, and the
banks are shored up with boards to
keep them from crumbling into the
water. Basins are dug at which to
water the horses; when troughs have
to be used, they are supported on
posts and filled by means of pumps.
If water lies at a reasonable depth
from the surface—that is, not more
than twenty feet—pipes are driven
that, according to their size, deliver
from tour to twenty-five gallons of
water a minute. If the water lies very
near the surface, a hole is dug, and
a cask, the bottom of which has been
knocked out, is put into the hole to
hold the sides in place and to pro
tect the water from dirt. If the wa
ter lies at a greater depth, box sec
tions are driven in, one on top of an
other, to the required depth.
Modernizing the Roundup.
Each year seems to give the auto
mobile a new hold on life, says the
Wall Street Journal. The war brought
it to the forefront in a new field. The
soldier of the present day seldom
makes long forced marches like Sher
man's march to the sea. He travels
by motor car. As a result, the automo
bile casualty list is tremendous; tho
average life of a car in the battle line
is estimated at 30 days. Rut it is not
only the war zone that has lost part
of its picturesqueness through the use
of the automobile. The latt r has
begun to rob the annuel cattle round
up of some of its thrills by replacing
the horse. This year lias secy the

“Snow” Burns Soy to Death.
Because he thought the foam on top
of a sunken vat of hot calcium was
“summer snow, Wallace l'aggart, ten
years old. son of Thomas Taggart,
stepped to his death at the SIh lbyville
canning factory. He was so badly
burned in the poisonous liquid that he
died six hours later.
Curious about the foam the boy
asked an employee what it was.
“Snow,' the employee r plied with a
smile.
The trustful child stepped into the
foam and sank. His father, working
at the factory, pulled him out.—Shel

HE MADE BEQUEST OF BHAIN
Man of Eminence Has the Idea of Ad
vancing Scientific Study by
the Action.
Announcement was made a short
time ago that Dr. Leland O. Howard,
chief of the United Slates bureau of
entomology, had declared to the Amer
ican Association for the Advancement
of Science that he would bequeath his
brain for scientific study to a school
that specializes in neurology. A num
ber of other scientists who attended
the meeting expressed admiration for
the doctor's action and are reported to
bo considering similar bequests of
their own brains.
There was a British physician
named Robert Peebles who created a
sensation In Ixmdon and Edinburgh
several years ago by his insistent
coaxing of athletes for the privilege
of studying their bodies after death.
He had been experimenting with the
muscles and had arrived at what his
associates termed a fantastic notion
that some sort of operation could be j
performed on the leg of the human !
runner so that his speed could ho
increased. Reapers and high jumpers
were his hobby, and in the course of
five years it was estimated that ho
had examined the leg muscles of near
ly a thousand men, making compari
sons with the running and leaping
muscles of the frog, the deer, the
greyhound and other animals.
Peebles was a man of means, and
after he had succeeded in inducing
half a dozen athletes of reputation to
“will him their legs" the attention of
surgeons was attracted. They took
the matter under consideration at one
of their quarterly meetings and
warned Peebles they would have him
committed to a sanitarium if he con
tinued his strange pursuit. Peebles
defied them and they had a commis
sion appointed. While his sanity was
being tested Peebles died. In his will
he bequeathed his brain to the com
mission.
War Hits Rheumatism.
Sodium salicylate, the friend of suf
ferers from rheumatism, is selling to
day at $2.40 a pound, whilo before the
war it only cost 20 cents a pound, re*
marks the New York World. AIho. it
is sold in this country only under the
condition that none of it will be ex
ported.
The reason for this, according to the
head of one of the largest chemical
concerns in the city, is not because
there are more cases of rheumatism in
the country today than ever before,
but because sodium salicylate is made
from carbolic acid heretofore Imported
from Europe. Now Europe needs all
her carbolic acid to use in manufac
turing explosives.
Horace Graves of the Oil. Drug and
Paint Reporter said: "Nearly all the
highly developed coal tar derivatives
in the United States have been used
up. Picric acid, which is used in ex
plosives, costs nil over In Europe to
what it would cost to manufacture
here. In England they are too busy
♦o manufacture it, so they have been
buying from us In great quantities. We
have been selling at huge prices. Last
year at this time carbolic acid cost
er.i f cuts a pound, now it has gone
u t< ‘ '.0.’’
