THE HONESDALE CITIZEN : THURSDAY MORNING-, AUGUST 27, 1908,
President's Son to Be His Photog

WILL SNAPSHOT WILD LIFE.

Methods of Snapplnn Dlrdi.
Kermlt Iloosevelt li to bo Ibo offi
cial photographer with the presldent'a
party on the African bunting trip. In
preparation for this Important work
tho young man la studying with
Frank M. Chapman, tho ornithologist
of New York city.
The rcpoMllilIlty which will rest on
Kcrmlt'a ehoulderti will be heavy, for
all hli fnthcr'a account of hi ml ven
tures in the Junttlc.t of tho dark contl
ncnt aro to bo lllnatrntnl. It I, nln
anderatnnd that the pivMent In anx

African blnli and other nnlninN taken
In life for several of the Me iniwiinii".
Including the Hnitthmnlun ItHlllutlnii
at Waahlnctfin nnl the American Mu
seum of Natural History In Now
York. Tho preient vih anxious In
havo Mr. Chapman aceompany him,
says the New York Times, but when
this was found to Iw liniwslble It wan
decided that Kermlt should (ret n com
plete camera outfit and be trained In
Its use by Mr. Chapman.
Mr. Chapman has long been n friend
of tho president. As associate curator
of the department of ornithology f
tho Museum of Natural Ulstory lie
has mado frequent trlm Into the In
terior of Florida, photographing rare
and beautiful birds at close range and
In ttw end making tho collection at the
museum one of the most complete and
valuable In tho world.
It lias Ijccii unusual Indeed for hlui
to pass through Washington since Mr.
Iloosevelt has liccu president without
atopplng mcr for luncheon or dinner
at the White llnuse, when the presi
dent and he have discussed birds to
the delight of both.
'The president could not hae so
lected n tiellcr man to help him pre
paro for tho photographic end of tho
expedition," said n friend of Mr. Chap
man tho other day. "Ho has mode a
long and thorough study of birds with
the camera, and he is not only an ox
port In tho use of the camera, but
knows all the tricks of how to get
closo to tho birds." '
Tho question now under considera
tion by Kermlt nud Mr. Chapman Is
tho best kind of photographic outfit to
take. It Is expected that tho camcrn
alone, with the several lenses. Includ
ing a powerful long range lens, will
cost aliout Jj2.V. He will liavo to
snap birds hopping and flying and wild
animals In motion.
But tho mechanical operation of tho
camera and n thorough understanding
of Its mechanism, so that ho can repair
It In tho event of Ha getting out-of or
der far from the haunts of men, are but
a small part of what Mr. Chapman will
teach the president's son. It Is ono
thing to photograph youug folks on a
lawn, nil anxious to bo In the picture,
and another to catch a wary bird In
tho heart of tho Jangle.
Mr. Chapman's success has boon duo
to the fact that he has been nblo to get
very closo views of birds. Ono of bis
favorlto methods Is to construct a
Wind, cover It over with brush and
then loe.ro It for weeks until tho birds
have become thoroughly accustomed to
It Then bo has slipped Into It before
- tho birds arc nttlr and has often been
able to get good negatives of rnro birds
which bopped about unconcernedly only
a fow feet from his lens.
Another favorite device Is to hang a
piece of burlap over a bush and lcavo
It tbcro for several weeks while on an
other expedition and then creep under
It and wait. Of course the camera
must lie arranged so that In snapping
It there Is no noise. The slightest sus
picious sound would spoil everything.
A NEW ORANGE TREE.
Botenists Hope to "Invent" One Thai
Will Grow In the North.
Ilotaulsts In the employ of tho Unit
ed BtnteH department of ngrlcultnro
hope to bring Into being an orange
tree which will be as sturdy ns tho ap
ple tree, an orango tree that will not
perish hi the chill of northern winter,
which In December will wear Its
wreath of Bnow and In Mny Its gar
lands of bloom and when summer
comes will yield fruit ns good as that
sweetened In tliu southern sun.
This may seem to lie an unnatural
proiiosltlon, but It ouly seems so. No
vlolenco upon the laws of nature has
been or will bo attempted. It Is sim
ply an effort to make tho citrus treo
which bears the sweet table orango
as hardy and Insensible to cold na tho
citrus treo which bears tho bitter, uu
cdlblo orange. Ity crossing tho citrus
treo of the north and that of tho south
It Is sought to beget a plunt In which
will bo combined tho good traits of
each.
Government botanists are confident
that the results of this citrus marriage
will be n H'hm that will grow and
fruit ut n latitude midway botweeu
tho northern HmltH of tho sweet and
bitter orange.

An Interesting Building.
Ilotli historically and architecturally
the Myer proper!, la Interesting. Par
ticularly appropriate Is It, too, that
this home of a famous general should
become tho property of the Army and
Navy club. General Albert J. Myer,
In whose honor Port Myer, on the op
posite banks of the I'otomac, was
named, nongni n auout mirty years
ago. He was founder and first head
of the signal corps of tbo United
States army and also founder of the

As one of tbo flnm specimens In
this country of Gothic style tho house

signed by ftenwlck, the famous archi
tect of Orace church ana its adjoining
chapel tn Broadway. New York. Bet
In Its large, well shaded grounds, It
seems tike a quaint old bit of quiet
Engllah country life transplanted to
foreign shores. At one time It was
ueod as tlio nnglLib etubasiy nud later
as the Russian embassy The house
contains about tweuty-flve rooms.
An Appropriate Memorial.
There was recently umiilcd nt l"ort
Worden. Wash., a inouumcnt to toldlor
dead which was constructed by enlist
ed men of the count artillery corps on
duty at that post The structure con
alsts of n concrete foundation support
ing nu old fashioned carriage und n
flvo Inch gun of historic tradition. The
weapon Is said to have formed a part
of tho armament of tho pioneer reve
duo cnlter Jefferson Puv Is when It vis
ited Pugct sound to suppress hostile
Indiana. For many yenrs It was used
In firing Fonrth of July salutes, nnd
It Anally came Into possession of the
local O. A. It. post. Tbo appropriate
ness of using such a relic im n monu
ment In the pot cemetery was appre
ciated hy Captain E. R. Eastcrbrook,
on duty at Fort worden, nnd it was
through hla Industry that the memorial
was erected.

Spanish War Medal.
Clerks In tho office of Chlof Clerk
Callahan of tho bureau of navigation,
navy department, are ongogod In send
ing out medals for service during tne
Bpanlsh-Amerlcnn war, with tho added
bars for each engagement In which the
holder fought.
When It was first doctded to give
medals to men who took part In dif
ferent actions tho Idoa w that for
each of thco fights n medal should he
given. As thero aro more than ISO of
such engngatneuts In the list and
many of the sailors participated In
several of them, It was found Imprac
ticable to give a separate medal In
each case. Bo the plan was changed
to ono medal, with bronze bars for
each separoto engagement tn which
tho recipient had taken port Clrcu
law wero sent to the men who had
already received medals asking them
to return their tokens tn have the bars
added.

search has made his name familiar tn
scientist the whole world over, but
was inndo In the cour.-o of uu Inter

n better knowledge of the conservation
of water nud Its uses for the benefit
of mankind.
"Tno hundred trillion cubic feet of
water," said Profeisor McOee, "Is to
the nverajo mind but two and n lot "f
ciphers. To be more explicit. It corils
about ten Mississippi, and that 1
unio of water la the entire bash of

"The United States tins an nrea of

nourccs. It h the n.iturnl le-iohent.
It Is power, fertility, ever thing. And.
being fuudament.il. values begin with
the water cnpply.
"With the ten Mississippi fullln'
upon the land of the United States
every ear, two Mississippi run olT.
Thus one-fifth of the waterfall from
tho heavens Hows Into tho kci. Of the
eight MLsslsslppIs remaining nlsittt
five Mississippi nre nbsnrbed, pissing

ngnlu and again. A fraction in part
lB8os Into tho earth and Klowly
reaches tho oceans, while another fric
tion Is consumed, passing Into chem
ical combinations, such ns plant
growth, etc.
"What wo want to do Is to mini
mize tho waste of water and max
imize the benoflts which must accrue
to tho citbens nnd country by proper
conservation of water supply. If we
so control tho water that tho rivers
shall flow In uniform stage we will
roIvo the problem of Inland nnlg-itlon
nnd make tho United Stales richer by
a thousand per cent than It Is to
day. In or.' r to do this wo must
equalize the i of the streams nt the
heads of t! )ers. nnd this may Ijo
dono by dams and reservoirs and sci
entific cultivation of tho soil along the
courses of boUi streams nnd rivers.
Tho' leveos of the lower Mississippi
havo dono a magnificent work, but tho
prevention of floods Is better far than
all tho levees In Uio world.
"What wo want to do Is to get back
to nature In dealing with water, fl-st,
to prevent floods, nnd, second, to com
pel the water to run clear nnd pure.
It Is a fact that each year tho rivers
of tho mainland of tho United States
pour Into tho sea n thousand million
tons of richest noli matter In the form
of suspended sediment, an Impost
greater than nil our land taxes com
bined nnd a commensurate Injury to
commcrco In tho lower rivers, which
aro rendered capricious and difficult
of control by the unstablo load.
"Tho difference In tho power value
alone between controlled nnd uncon

tho entire cost of Btrenui control In the
United States. And Oils, coupled with
fho billion do'Mrs' loss uery year
through soil erosion, due to Hoods,
would construct a comprehensive py.

A BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL
Cincinnati Girl's Automatlo Device to
Water Ftowtra In Cemetery.
Miss Carrlo D. Jackson, 1301 Chapel
street, Cincinnati, who was bom and
reared in Dearborn county, Ind,
prompted by her love for her lato de
parted brother, Georgo W. Jackson,
and other inetnlicrs of her family now
resting In the family lot In Orecndnlo
cemetery, at Lawrcnreburg, Ind, de-
Ircl to erect something new nnd
icautlful to their memory. A happy
Idea catuo to her. Fhc would have a
largo vase cotislrnctcd, containing pots
f Dowers, and sot It In the confer of
Dower lied. Within the vase thero
should be a tank of water, which by
Its own automatic forco each day
would water the flowers In tho pots
nnd also tho flowers In tho bed planted
around tho font of tho vast.
Accordingly she went to work, cm
loved n mechanic, superintended tho
onstructlnn herself, and In n few-
weeks her Ideals were realized. Tho
original vnso may bo seen In (Jrecn
dilo cemetery. Tho tank has a capac
ity of nbont one-half barrel of wuter
nnd must bo filled evitry two weeks.
During tho heat of the day tho water
slowly drips from tho largo tank Into
n smaller one. ny evening tho small
tank Is filled, and by Its weight It
closes tho vulvea of tho largo tank
nnd opens the valve below, thua al
lowing tho wator to flow from It und
refresh the flowers during tho cool
hours of night. By morning the small
tank Is empty, and the weights lift It
nto p-islUM) again, the lower rnlcs
close the upper ones open, and the
