,EARN THEIR CROSSES WRITER TELLS OF BRAVERY OF GERMAN FIELD COOKS. Are Held Responsible for Feeding the Men in the Trenches, and Well and Nobly They Are Doing Their Duty. "There isn't anything heroic about cooks," writes Herbert Corey to the New York Globe, "and when things go wrong one either apprehends a cook as chasing a waiter with a bread knife or giving way to tears." Yet the Ger man army contains many a cook whose expansive apron is decorated with the iron cross. "And the iron cross," Mr. Corey reminds us, "is conferred for one thing only-for 100 per cent cour .ago." The writer tells an interesting tale: "'They've' earned it,' said the nan who had seen them. 'They are the bravest men in the kaiser's four mil. lions. I've seen generals salute greasy, paunchy, sour-looking army cooks.' "The cook's job is to feed the men of his company. Each German com pany is followed or preceded by a field kitchen on wheels. Sometimes the fires are kept going while the device trundles along. The cook stands on the footboards and thumps his bread. He is always tho first ian up in the morning and the last to sleep at night. The Teutoin believes in plenty of food -of a sort. A well-fed soldier will fight. A hungry one may not. "'When the company gets into camp at night,' said the inan who knows, 'the ccok is there before it, swearing at his fires and the second cook, and turning out quantities of a depressing looking veal stew, which is, neverthe less, very good to cat.' "'When that company goes into the trenches the cook stays behind. There is no place for a field kitchen in a four foot trench. But these men in the trench must be fed. The Teuton in sists that all soldiers must be fed but especially the men in a trench. The others may go hungry, but these must have tight belts. Upon their staying power may depend the safety of an army. "'So, as the company cannot go to the cook, the cook goes to the com pany. When meal hour comes he puts a yoke on his shoulders and a cook's cap on his head and, warning the sec ond cook as to what will happen if he lets the fires go out, puts a bucketful of the veal stew on either end of the yoke and goes to his men. Maybe the trench is under fire. No matter. His men are in that trench and must be fed. "'Sometimes the second cook gets his step right here. Sometimes the ap prentice cook-the dish washer-is summoned to pick up the cook's yoke and refill the spilled buckets and tramp steadily forward to the line. Some times 'the suplly of assistant cooks, even, runs short. But the men in the trenches always get their food. "'That's why so many cooks in the German army have iron crosses dan gling from their breasts,' said the man who knows. 'No braver men ever lived. The man in the trench can duck his head and light his pipe and be rela tively safe. No fat cook yoked to two buckcets of vecal stew ever' can be safe sas lie marches down the trench under .fire. But he always marches. His men arc always fed, ad~d fed on time, 'Tho hero of the German campaign is the fat cook of the field kitchen.'

BIRDS THE FRIENDS OF MAN Investigation Has Shown the Extent of Their Ravages on Insects That Destroy the Crops. A recent government bulletin in the interest of bird conservation gives some facts demonsteating'their ut6eful. ness ats insect anid noxious weed de stroyers that should becomo general knowledge. A tree swallow's stomach was found to contain 40 entire chinch bugs and fragments of many other's, besides oth er species of Insects. A bank swallow li Texan devoured 68 cotton boll wee vils. Thirty-flve clift swallows had taken ,an average of 18 boll weevils each. Two stomachs of pine siskins from -laywards, Cal., contained 900 black olive scales and 300 plant lice. A killdeer's stomach taken in Novem ber in Texas contained over 300 mos quito larvae. A flicker's stomach held 28 white grubs. A night hawk's stom ach collected in Ketucky contained 34 beetles, the adult form of white grubs. Another night hawk from New York had eaten 24 clover leaf weevils and 375 ants. Still another night hawk had eaten 3,10 grasshopiers, 52 bugs, three beetles, two wasps and a Spider. A bobtailed grackle from Texas had eaten at one meal about one hundred cotton boll worms besides a few oth er insects. A ring-neeked phleasant's crop fron Washington contained 8,000. seeds of chickweed and dandelion heads. The quail, between his cheery calls of "1lo) White," is busy consuming 135 varieties of lusects. lie will eat on an average 75,000 Insects and 6,000,000 weed seeds a year. Ile is the natural enemy of the boll weevil and the po tato bug and the best friend of man, who is trying to destroy him in near ly every state. In fact, there are few birds that are not the friends of the farmer, paying him many times over in the destruc tion of Insects and noxious weed seeds for the small amount of toll they take from his crops. Singing While in Danger. Though there Is no definite rule laid down in the British naval regulations, yet It has become an unwritten one for the offlcers to instruct their men to sing when they are in great danger, as for instance, when their ship has been mined or torpedoed and Is sink ing. Thus many of the men on board the Formidable went bravely to their deaths singing "Tipperary." A popu lar song, as a rule, Is ordered to be sung because most of the sailors know it, and collective singing puts more heart in them and helps them to hang on as long as possible till help comes. Some years ago some sailors from the Vernon were blown up In Ports mouth harbor. It was In the middle of January, and an icy blizzard made things worse than usual. The lieu2 tenant in command, who was swim ining in the water, yelled out to his men, who were also battling for their lives, "Sing '13111 Dailey,'" and prob ably that once popular song was never sung under stranger conditions. It Is said that the lieutenant swain round and punched the heads of those who weren't singing!-Pearson's. Much Unknown About Marbles. Though the western part of Verb mont includes the most ' extensive marble Industry In this country, the eastern part is a virgin fleld wvhere, in the lack of a general study of the stratigraphy, the structure, the Pale ontology, andl the areal geology, It is at present not only impossible to de termine the area and position of many of the beds, but also even the thick ness of some of the marble formations which are but partly exposed. The marbles of eastern Vermont, nmany of which are dolomitic, vary wvidely in hind andl character, andl the outcrcps, though. few in numbor', arc scattered from the Mlassachusetts line to the Canadian boundary. AMany of the marbles are suitedl only for indoor ornamental use. The great er parit of the ledges are to be classed as m in eral reserves which will beC drawnl on in tho future. A Hralf-Cent Coin.
