Get a View of an
Osprss Nest.
Now commenced my work, and I de
scended on my rope to terra as after
terrace, forcing my way through thick
rows of prickly pear, a most painful
operation. And now we found that
there was nobody below to signal as
where tbe nest 1st. The Inevitable re
sult wsa that after descending more
than 100 feet I had to signal to be
hauled op again, always through the
prickly pear. Again did P descend.
and again did I fall to nod tbe nest
On tbe third occasion I reached a re
cess in tbe greet cliff, whence, after
'unbending my rope and securing it to
a bosh (or obvious reasons, I made a
cast along a ledge to tbe sooth and
reached a point which I Identified as
being not far from the nest as eeen
from below. - Bo 'I retraced my steps
and, regaining my rope, was hauled

female swept close around with shrill
cries and eventually alighted on tbe

of me and, with outspread wings and
very feather standing on end, low

I bare no doubt I was close to her
young, but I bad more serious Work in

I now made my fourth and last
descent and found myself immediate
ly over the nest, but before I could go
down to it the party handling the rope
had to work their way down toward
me. since the rope wns too short Fi
nally I reached the nest, an enormous
mass of big sticks measuring more
tban five feet across and doubtless the
result of many yearn' work. In It were
two eggs much Incubated. By stand
ing on a ledge close to the nest and
pressing the camera between my body
and the face of the cliff I was able to
take some long time exposures with
fairly good results. It was near sun
set, and the cliff was in deep shadow,
which did not facilitate my task. Be

Now, I wish to say tbat science is
mistaken as to tbe bacterial germ be
ing the cause of bllgbt or baring any
signncanoe whatsoever in relation to
it. The baoterlal getm It tbe result
of blight, instead of the cause, and
does not become present in tbe limb

germ ia tbe reault of k natural law
after tbe deatb of the limb takes

and always originates in tbe sap and
never from any outside source. The
bacteria germ Is tbe first evidence In

and a culture Is made of It a germ is
found, wbioh I do not deny, -and it
oould not be otherwise, as nature
provides for It, and In tbelr profes
sion they are compelled to proooanoe
It so, for tbe reason tbat their ver
diot must be in accordance with the

verdict would be presumptive and not

Now, whet la blight ana how is It
produced! I will answer this briefly.
All tbe trouble of this eharaoter
whloh we have on trees Is dne to two
causes, namely, blight and its ally,
both ot wblob oonform to natural
lawe pure and aim pie. These two
elemente in nature are beat and oold.
Bllgbt Is due to beat, wbile its ally
is due to oold wbioh is frost, and in
result they are identical, and no
sotentlfio man can tell the dltferenor
between tbe two.
It must be undeetood that when
this trouble originally occurs on
trees, the tree ia always in active life
and aap It flowing freelly. Now,
wnen a pear tree is nealtnv and vigor
ous and sap flowing abundantly to
tbe outer ends of tbe limbs, oausing
them to become very tender, and at
tbla time we have from 98 to luO de
grees Fehenbelt, wltb an aoeolute
etlUneee of the atmosphere, oo the
limb le not fanned In the breeze, tbe
sun scalds tbe limb aad Ufa therein
becomes extlnot, and tne work la
done. Now, reverse tble with frost,
whieb occurs most always while tbe
tree ie In bloom. Toe bloom freezes.

Bacteria In Butter.
"Bacteriologists have shown ua that
ordinary, butter la awarming with
germs," declares Good Health. "A tin
gle teaspoonful of milk generally con
tains from 2,000,000 to 10,000,000 germs.
Tbe number may even be much larger
than this. In the removal of cream
from the milk tbe gonna are taken with
It and In tbe process of churning the
germs are collected with the fat, to la
tbe butter we bavo the concentration
of a large part of the germa contained
In tbe milk from which the butter waa
derived. So In a pound of butter de
rived from twenty plnta of milk tbe
number of bacteria muBt bo almost be
yond estimate. A brief computation
will show that tbe number ot bacteria
contained in a pound of batter might
easily reach tbe enormous sum of five
to ten billions."
