ESSES GOtj&tY HEEALD
How to Visit in the Home of the Birds
(By Charles Crawford GoreL)
(Mr. Go ret Is one of America's leading naturalists and a rec
ognlrcd authority on bird life and bird songs. He Is popu
larly known as "The Bird Man" by reason of the fact that
he correctly Imitates the 6ongs of nearly four hundred birds.)
?A Cv j i
p'
ERHAPS the commonest question asked me Is
this one: "Where do you stndy birds, Mr. Gorst
there are none In our woods A8 a matter of
fact there are birds In all woods," beautiful songsters la
many varieties you never dreamed of. The trouble Is
that Mr. Bird usually sees the bird student first. Often
the enthusiast goes Into the woods wearing a loud sport
cap, red tie, yellow shoes and blue suit, and with him
are friends In bright hats, ties and shirts, and frills,
flounces and ruffles. Through the bushes and grass
they all crush together, laughing and talking ind they
wonder why there are no birds.
One cannot see and hear the natural life of the
woods by flurrying and flying about any more than one
can see the perfect reflection in a woodland pool by
Jumping Into It If I want to see the trees perfectly
mirrored In the pool while I am In It, I must wade In
Quietly, then stand motionless as a rock until the rippling water Is smooth
again. So If I wish to .study birds, I must walk quietly Into the woods,
modestly dressed and stand as still and motionless as a tree trunk. This Is
the secret of bird study, and young students of bird life cannot succeed In
their work tf they do not know the first essentials for sadi work.
One typical Instance this summer right here In the New Hampshire
mountains. I was out at' five. All my clothing, hat, mosquito mask, gloves,
coat and trousers are of Inconspicuous olive drab, A green heron first
answered my call. He came within two rods of ma The tree sparrow appeared.
cert the northern yellow throat Then
came the Canadian warbler as I sang
his rapid emphatic song, and then the
black throated blue warbler, and so on,
and on this particular morning I studied
fct close observation, birds that In all
probability the New Hampshire folks of
this particular district did not know In
habited their woods.

EXl'EitT HUNTERS WAGE
WAR ON SAVAGE BEASTS.
Compared with some individ
ual members of the mountain
lion, wolf, and coyote families,
Gulliver's hungry giants and
giantesses were light and dainty
eaters. All these animals are
classed as predatory, but a few
specimens develop exceptional
skill and cunning in killing cat
tle, sheep, and c!t. They usual
ly acquire equal skill In avoid
ing trails, poison baits, and rllle
fire, and often do thousands of
dollars' worth of damage before
thoy are killed.
Tlie bureau of geological sur
vey, United States Department
of Agriculture, keeps a staff of
expert hunters In the field for
the express purpose of ridding
government range lands of these
four-footed outlaws, and thus
nsslst in relieving the rancher.
A government hunter killed a
mountain lion near Roosevelt,
Ariz., that had destroyed 50
calves and three colts on a single
ranch. One wolf slain by anoth
er hunter In New Mexico had
killed 23 calves. Auother, In
Wyoming, slaughtered 30 head
of cattle before one of Uncle
Sam's hunters shot the criminal.
A pair of Wyoming wolves that
had learned exceptional cunning
and cruelty ran a yearly board
bill amounting to about ?3,r00.
Their meal tickets were canceled
by a couple of well-aimed rifle
shots by a government hunter.
Two other wolves, which showed
gustatory preference for mutton
and young horse flesh, In a single
month killed 150 sheep and seven
colts, but at tne end of the
month a hunter collected their
pelts.

to be bestowed upon the paper. After
a longer or shorter time the paper dis

How Carbon Black Is Made.
How Is carbon black made? liy
j burning oil or natural pas. But tho
I rp.rbon obtained from gas Is much
I blacker and better than the carbon
j from oil.
', (h s burners are erected undernenth
steel channels that move buck and
forth. The carbon Is deposited on
these channels, but It H constantly
scraped off by their movement npilnst
j each other. Only 1.5 per cetit of the
total eiuhiiri In the iras Is recovered In
the form of black; thus the waste of
gas Is enormous. Scientists ore now
trying to produce carbon from gas by
mixing It with other gases without
necessitating combustion. Popular

How Searchlight la Tested.
. The searchlights made use of In
warfare and for a few other purposes
are put-to n severe test before they
are regarded as completed. Klnhornte
Instruments are used to measure the
Intensity of the beam, but Its diameter
Is measured by an Immense "yard
Kflck," located 2,:'.iH) yards away from
the ll;,"ht. A long narrow stretch of
lumber supported on trestles has di
visions at regular Intervals Just like
those' of the measuring stick, and
when tic beam is directed at this
structure, it Is ea.iy to measure the
diameter. In n small house nt one

A Typl8 phlllpplnt Hmetoad
The Cnlted Stctes Isn't th only
country that has homesteaders those
enterprising pioneers who leave thick
ly populated districts and tako their
families Into virgin territory to create
homes for themselves. The Philippine
Islands have thousands of thrifty home
steaders. The above photograph Bhows a pic
ture of a Christian Filipino homestead
er and his family Lear Plklt, Cotabato
province, Mindanao, P. L Five years
ago he was a cab driver working for
low wages at Cobu, a thickly populated
city. He went Into the then wilderness
of Mindanao, planted hemp and cocoa
nuts, paid for his land and has be
come wealthy. Thousands of similar
Instances could be cited. One Mindanao
homesteader Is worth $200,000.
The Philippine government Is encour
aging the Immigration of Filipino?
from the thickly populated sections In
to Mindanao. This Is the second larg
est tf the Islands of the archipelago.
It Is still sparsely settled, although
It Is one of the richest and most pro
ductive Islands In the world. Many
Americans have established planta
tions there and become rich. ;
Filipinos are using the stories of the
many successful Filipino homesteaders
as an argument for independence. They
make the point that a people that caa
go out Into a tropical wilderness with
no capital Eave their patience, perse
verence and energy and win homes 'or
themselves, have the necessary stamina
to run their own affairs.

The Filipino has been much misrep
resented In the United States. This Is
largely because the Sunday supple
ments have made a specialty of por
traying the semi-naked non-Christian
hill tribes as 'typical" Filipinos, which
Is far from the truth.
The total population of the Philip
pines Is 10,350,640, of which 9,495.272
are Christians and civilized, and have
been so for 300 years, possessing a cul
ture and refinement that will compare
favorably with that of other countries.
The number of non-Chrlstlans Is 855,-
803, and only a email percentage of
them are uncivilized. They are fast
becoming educated, and will ultimate
ly make good citizens.
Seventy per cent of the lnhabltants
of the Philippines over ten years of
age, according to the last census, are
literate. This is a higher percentage
of literacy than that of any South
American country, higher than that of
Spain, and higher than that of any
of the New Republics of Europe whos
Independence Is being guaranteed by
the Allies.

The people of the

declared In an ad

they will not hesitate to receive from

complete and absolute Independence

"If the United States, dictated by lis
own Interests, decides to extend pro
tection to the Philippines, well and

Intloii of our problems. If not, let us
have absolute Independence in what

A TEST OF FAITH
(Chattanooga News.)
We have frequent occasion to pro
test against the efforts of Japan to
Impose her dominion upon unwilling
peoples, yet we have thus far failed
to exemplify the Ideals which we rec
ommend to Japan. If wo should with
draw our sovereignty from the Philip
pines, In accordance with our repeated
promises, we could the more conslst-j
eutly ask Japan to follow a similar'
course toward Shantung, Manchuria;
and Siberia. Our plea would have a;
great deal more forte If we could:
make It with clean Lauds. To say that:
the Philippines are rfot ready for In-1
dependence Is merely to express an
arbitrary, gratuitous opinion. It Is
perfectly eusy to create conditions
In oue's own mind that no people
ever could comply with. Our delny
about respecting our own pledge Is a
reflection on our national good faith
and a constant invitation to Interna
tional complications In the far east
