BIRDS MARK MAPLE.
WOODPECKER ARE RESPONSI
BLE FOR BIRDSEYE.
In All Spots Where Their Sharp X.tt
tie Ullla l'enetrnte the Bark There
Appear the Led Spots that JJeuut'ty
the Wood.
After having snout moro than Blxty
yours aud mure thun 10,000 in huutlug
bears niul studying tho wuys of wild
creature, Greenleaf Davis, of Pat
ten, Me., has begun to raise tamo
woodpeckers with Uio purpose of
using them to convert ordinary rock
tuaplcs into the rare and costly wood
known as bird's-eye mnple., Mr. Da
vis is more than 80. Sixty year
ago he inherited a mill property valued
at $10,000, which he soon sold and theu
ho went to the woods under the sldo of
Mount Katiiahdlu. Hero ho built a log
camp und spent much of bla tltno on
the trail of bears and Indian devils, of
which he has killed more than any
other man in Muluc.
It has been Mr. Davis belief that no
creaturo should be kept in captivity
more than a month. If the creatures
he caught chose to remain with him
after that period they wero welcome
to such fare as he could afford to give.
If they wanted to go the doors were
open. In this way ho has tamed squir
rels, muskrata and woodchucks until
they and their offspring nearly overrun
his camp. With birds he has been less
successful, because most of them went
away south at the annual migrations,
and when they came back, If any did
coma back, they were ungrateful
enough to prefer their liberty to any
thing that Mr. Davis could offer. Ho
has two crows, one of which la mora
than 30 years old, .which havo stayed
by him aud never sought the society of
their klud. Two robins lived with him
for three years, but perished one cold
night when the camp lire went out
Ills great success has been won with
woodpeckers, of which he now lias near
ly 100. They nre of tho hairy aud tho
downy species In about equal numbers,
but more than both of these In number
and esteem nre the red-hended sap
suckers, which pick round holes In tho
bark of trees, making them look liko the
bottom of an old-styled colander.
As these woodpeckers did not migrate
Mr. Davis hod company the year round.
He put up boxes for them to occupy oa
homes aud In a few years the maple
grove back of his camp was tilled with
birds. The yellow hammer Is the only
species of tho woodpecker family that
will live without Insect food, and after
the saptsuckers grew very numerous
Mr. Davis 'had much trouble to feed
them. lie dug up the ant hills and lift
ed the sand out to get the Insects for bla
birds, but In spite of bla labors the red
headed woodpeckers made sad havoc In
his sap orchard, digging holes in bla
best maples and Impairing the flow of
sap, from which much of his living was
derived.
It was Impossible to kill the birds be
cause of the company they afforded and
It was equally Impossible to live with
out the income from the sap orchard.
The old mun sieut weeks in his grove,
watching tho result of tho wounds
which the birds Inflicted on tho bark
As tho scars healed ho noticed that
there wus a bright red spot left on tho
wood directly below tho wound. If tho
tree was badly marked tho red spots
were more numerous than they were on
trees which hud Buffered less, while on
trees which the woodpeckers had not
visited there were no traces of red.
About this tlume it occurred to him
that ns the beautiful marklugs of bird's
eye maple were due to tho red spots in
tho wood, and ns nobody had ever been
able to account for them, It was possi
ble that tho variety of maple known as
bird's-eye might owe Its origin to Uio
work of tho woodpeckers. If so ho bad
made a discovery that had ballled bot
anists for years. Ho had also learned
how to make his colony of tame wood
peckers self-supporting,
Dy mixing the ants, which ho sifts
from tho sand, with a paste formed
from elm bark boiled down to a thick
batter, he can smear the trunks of
thrifty maples with such food as tho
woodpeckers require aud while they
are getting a meal from the bark their
bills are boring new holes In the trees
that shall transform ordinary mnple
wood, worth uo more than f 12 a thou
sand feet, into bird's-eye maple that
sells anywhere for $S0 and $00 a thou
sand, aud the dealers cannot get all
they want at those prices.
ORDERED A STRIKE FOR FUN.
Bon Telesjrapliara' Tie-Up oa the
t-ant. fr'e Was Ilrousht About.
"The rcceut strike of the operators on
the Sauta Ke," said an old telegrapher,
"reminds me of the strike which took
place In 1801. I bad been down In
Texas and by easy stages was working
back toward this city, and was in Ht.
Louis when I met Itamsey. 1 forgot
Ramsey's tlrst name. lie was a good
fellow. I knew him when he used to
work oc the L. & N., and then heard he
had quit to study law, At that time he
was practicing law In East St. Louis.
Itamsey was the head of the O. It. T,
I "He was a little fellow, full of grit,
; and a good talker. The boys put him
I In at the head because he was a law-
yer and it was thought best to do
things according' to Hoyle In the or
ganization. Like ever' body else that
I comes out of Texas, after a siege of it
I was anxious to get back to God's
country and spend the balance of my
Ill-gotten gains among the people of
my birth. When I met Itamsey be
asked ma if I was an O. II. T. man,
and 1 told blm I was, He told me there
was liable to be a strike on the Santa
F and asked me to stay about for a
lew days. You can always use a
strange face in a strike, and I was ft
soda card in a new deck, so far as St
Louis or Chicago was concerned."
"We wero about St. Louis for a few
days shaping things, and Itamsey was
having conferences with persons In tho
ofllccs of the company. A cipher had
been arranged so that when tho time
came and It went out over the Hue ev
erybody could quit. Every man In tho
order kuew tho signal und wus waiting
for It or some auuouncemcut that tho
matter had been ttxed up.
"After a harmony conference ono
day at noon everything on the Santa
Fe quit working. Tho slgual went out
and there was not an operator from
Chicago to Gainesville, Texas, that
cared to work. It was a complete tie
up. Tho railroad people blamed ItuiU'
scy and said ho had acted In bud faith.
Ho denied having given any order to
quit Ho cnlled thcuien- back to tho
keys, but tho dnmago had been done.
Tho story was a couple of days getUug
out
"In Wichita there was a fat opera
tor named Williamson, who refused to
consider life nnythlug more thun a
joke. It made no difference to him
I whether his name was Williamson, or
Jones. He could chnnge name with
every Job, aud Jobs after ev
ery pay day. Ho conceived the Imp
py Idea that the thing to do w is to tlo
up the Santa Fe. Tho more ho thought
of It the funnier he thought It wns, aud
finally he opened up und sent out tho
cipher order to strike. Tho result wns
that believing tho strike was on, many
of tho boys decided the thing to do wus
to become a grluvance committee of
one, and in two hours, thero was a
string of operators from Illinois to
Texas declaring their Intention of
never sending another word for tho
Santa Fe till the strike wns won.
"Ramsey sent out n clrclar over tho
wire, and somo of them returned to
work. It took a couple of days to get
them all to understand that some ono
had played a Joko 011 tho order und tho
rond. Tho man In Wichita wns black
listed by tho roads and tho order, and
from that tlmo on until to-day ho has
been kept busy changing his name.
Tho last I heard of him he wns on a
brunch of the Santa Fc, satlslled that
he would bo discharged as soon as the
pay car came aloug aud ho was recog
nized as Uic man who ordered the fako
strike." Chicago Inter Ocean.
RUSSIA'S GREAT FEAT.
Railway Ferry at Lake Ilalkal a Trl
niuph of Modern KnsJnecrlnsr.
The most Interesting portion of Rus
sia's great 4,000 mile railway is the
steam ferry across Lake Baikal, In Cen
tral Siberia. The lake has an extent of
over 13,000 square miles, and Is moro
than twice as wide as the English chan
nel at Dover. In placca It is as deep
as 4,GiO feet, and parts of It have never
beea. blumbed. It la surrounded by
some Af the hardest mountains which a
railway engineer could encounteV. The
plan 4fythe Trans-Siberian Hallway in
clude a railway around tho southern
end of the lake to connect Uie two lake
shore terminals, but tho enormous dif
ficulty and the expense, which Is an
Important matter to Russia at the pres
ent time, of constructing such a lino
conspire to Indefinitely postpouo Its
completion.
To link tho two ends with a Bteam
ferry which would be able to break
through tho Ice which covers tho lako
from' the middle of December to Muy
was doubtless suggested by tho excel
lent work of tho Ycrmnh Ice-breaker In
tho Baltic. Sir William Armstrong,
Whltwortb & Co., of Newcastle, were
the constructors of tho Yermnh, und to
the order of the Russian government
they constructed a second und larger
ice-breaker which wns christened tho
Baikal.
The Baikal has threo lines of rail laid
upon her main deck to curry one pas
senger and two goods trains across
the lake. Tho trains enter tho Ice
breaker at the bow, which Is run up
against a pier. The mils aro connected
nnd tho trains run Into tho vessel. With
this load sho will cut her way through
three feet of Ico nt a speed of 13 knots
an hour. A screw nt tho bow wllh a
separato engine bucks away tho water
from underneath tho Ice at the bow
which thus splits from Its own weight;
the two stubby-blnded propellers at tho
stern at tho same time forco tho vessel
through the broken Ico sheet. The ac
tual track of the Baikal measures ihlr-ty-nlne
miles.

' The cork tree Is nu evergreen, an
oak, querous suber, about tho size of
our apple tree and grown largely In
Spain for commercial uses. The bark
Is stripped In order to obtain the cork,
which Is soaked and then dried. The
moment tho bark Is peeled off tho tree
begins to grow another cork skin, and
each new one Is better than the last so
the older the tree the better the cork.
The trees nre stripped about every
eight years, and bo strong does It make
them that they often live to tho ago of
200 years. Aftev the bark Is stripped
off It Is trimmed nnd dried and flatten
ed out. Then It Is packed and shipped
to all parts of the world.

The municipal hospital of Moscow,
which was founded In 1704, has accom
modations for 7,000 persons, and In tho
course of a year It receives 15.000 pa
tients. The Institution has on Its staff
twenty-six physlclana and over 0,000
nurses. In 1812, when Napoleon was
retreating from Moscow, ho gave or
ders that this hospital be spared.
