Ontario, early In May, were wing-clipped and sent to the Cen- tral Experimental Farm, and these, to- gether with flve goslings raised this year by four captive Canada geese at the Farm, are being used in the ex- periment. Each of the geese caught by Mr. Miner wears one of his bands. These bands bear a scriptural text and his address, the Inscription on one of these reading, " 'The word of the Lord endureth forever,' 1 Peter. 1.25. Write Box 49, Kingsvllle, Ont" The other j bands bear different passages and the address. The birds have also been banded with the official numbered band of the series In use by both the Canadian and United States authori- ties for marking wild birds. The goslings, which are now full grown, have been placed with the Miner geese, and the flock makes re- peated trips to Dow's lake.

If, therefore, persons who hear of any ot these birds, or hunters who happen to shoot one, will communicate the particulars to the Commissioner of Canadian National Parks, Ottawa, Canada, their action will be appreciated.

The tree grew upon a high mountain range fifteen miles from the Pacific coast, and when felled was estimated to be 800 years old. It took several days to cut the tree down and months to saw it up.
