Washington Letter te New Yerk Bun. -The ornithological division el tbe depart ment e! agriculture hai bean engaged ler soma lima In an investigation of the eflect of the law enacted In Petinaylvanls lu 1885, granting a bounty or arty cents a bead en all hawks, en In, weasela, and minks killed within the limit or the aUte. Tula law waa enacted for thn alleged benefit of the fanners of Pennsylvania, and from the lime when It tint went lutu effect until It waa repealed a few weeks age something like f'.W.OOO bad been paid nut under It. The lu vestlgatlens e f the detriment show thst this sum la hut a small fraction of the direct and Indirect coat of the law of the state. It was found that there lire about fifteen spaelns of hawks and owls In the Eastern states. Of these only three varieties ewr red upnn poultry, Within tbe past alx week the deptrt jjent has examine! the contents nf the stomachs of ninety birds kilted In the neighborhood of Washington. In that of a hawk was found a portion of tbe head of a domestic fowl, which might have been the elll thrown out of some farmer's kitchen. In the stomach of an owl a por tion el a domeMie pigeon was discovered. These two were the only enea among the ninety lu which there was any Indication of a partiality for poultry ou the part of the hawk and owl family. Nearly all of tbe ether stomiehs examined contained from one te live Held mice, as well as a great many lnsuts which are naturally very destructive te crops. Upen this showing the department ostl estl mates that eaeh hak and own la worth Z3,C00 ier annum te the farmers or the coun try. The estimate la baaed upon the assump tion that every Held mouse net caught will damage erupt te the amount of two cents a ) ear. The ncloutlfle meti el the department, who delight lu figures, have come te the con clusion lint If overy hawk and owl killed under the Pennsylvania county law, hed been allowed te lite, the damage done by them would tuve amounted, under a VMry llbural estimate, te about 11,875 while the law Wi lu operation.

While the statu el Pennsylvania bas been try lug te get rid of the hawks tbe general government bas been buay devising ways te make them mero uieltil. Negotiations bave Immiii (wilding for soma time between tbe chief orlntbnlegWt et the duptrtmeut of agriculture and a intn who h n had a great deal of expn rlencuni a trainer nt Ulcemln Europe- These ni'ktoll.illem nre for the purpnte of securing thu nor low et this nun te train a number of hawks ter una In the rice fields of Meuth Caro Care tin i. The planters there are clamoring for some method nt ridding their fislds of rice birds, which play frlghtlul bavue with their crop every year. It bas ben found that the prvttinee el h living hawk In tbe air ever a tield of rlce will cause the immediate depar. ture of every bird In the vicinity. (Suns, drums and ether Implements for creating a great noise tire only partly successful. A stutfed hawk will de well enough fur a day or two, but the depredaters soeu learn that there Is little te lenr Irem a dead enemy. It is therefore proposed te try tbe etluct of trained bird. It Is the purpose of tbe de partment te lglit with a small number this jear, and If the plan proves auecesaful te the rice bird problem, It It likely that every rice planter lu the Houth will be supplied lu tbe near future with a Heek of Ulceus.

Dr. Dliler reptleJ thus te tbe query, "Of what does tbe new treatment consist T" "The gas treatment consists lu tbe Intro duction Inte the system by means of injection Inte tbe bowels of carbonic acid gas which bas been passed through a solution of the sulphide and chloride or sodium. Its action la supposed te depend upon the presence or sulphur and carbondlexlde, which bave long been known te be student In pulmonary trouble.

Bergeen verified these exiwritnents and has formulated this treatment "Tbe carbonic acid gas, besides lu ether ac tion, reduces the irritation from tbe aulpur ated bydregen formed, wbieh latter destroys tbe bacillus tuberculoses.
