Mr. Cleaves is spending a two weeks' vacation on Gardiner's Island and 

 Martha's Vineyard, in continuation of his studies of birds, and we may ex- 

 pect to see some unusually good results on his return as, in addition to the 

 camera with which so many of his well-known bird pictures were taken, he 

 has with him, for this trip, a complete equipment for taking moving pictures 

 Mr. Harold Decker is with Mr. Cleaves as assistant. 



Among the publications of practical economic importance recently re- 

 ceived from the U. S. Department of Agriculture is Farmers' Bulletin No. 

 582, May 16, 1914, entitled "Uses for Chestnut Timber Killed by the Bark 

 Disease This is a pamphlet of twenty-four pages, with eight illustrations, 

 written by J. C. Nellis, Forest Examiner in the Forest Service, and is to be 

 regarded as authoritative on the subject treated. In view of the large amount 

 i de A d ° *"? trees now going to waste on Staten Island, this pamphlet 

 should be a welcome source of advice and information. The owner of dead 

 chestnut trees who may wish to learn of markets for products which he can 

 manufacture himself, or of an operator who can handle his standing timber 

 for him, should address the New York State Conservation Commission Albany
