When the aviators came home after the first World War there appeared in a number of the world’s bird journals accounts of the flyers’ experiences with birds. Notable among these were the contributions made towards increasing our knowledge of the speeds at which birds can fly.

“Atouronton” is an Indian word that means, “Oh how much there is of it!” and was their descriptive term for oil. Indians skimmed it off rivers and used it for greasing aching muscles, for war paint, and sometimes to burn.

The din they made at night taxed the tempers of civilian workers and servicemen. When the sooty terns arrive at nesting time they do not immediately alight on the island. For a time the flocks’ come in after dark and leave before daybreak, filling the night hours with screaming while on the wing.

Now that the war is over there will be a tendency to look for someone to blame for damage done to the Pacific Islands. The Navy will probably be pointed to as particularly responsible for destruction of birds on oceanic islands. My experience with Navy personnel, dating even from before the war, has been a most pleasant one.

A few years later, climbing plants were already choking the trees to death and transforming the new forest into a tropical jungle complete with orchids, butterflies, snakes, and numberless birds and bats, and with a small lake. Krakatoa became a naturalist’s paradise; the Dutch made it a Nature reserve and allowed no one but accredited scientists to set foot on the island.

It could not mean much to Man that the Bonin petrel arrives on some islands in late August, and that some of its young are still there in mid- June.

Two months after the eruption R.D.M. Yerbeek visited Krakatoa and found no trace of life on the island, “where the ejected matter was so hot that the coolies danced on their bare feet.” Then a miracle happened-the miracle of the rebirth of life. Four months after the eruption, a botanist found no plant life, but did find something alive- an almost microscopic spider, gallantly spinning its web where there was nothing to be caught.

Elk Creek Valley was a blue and golden place that mid-summer morning in the Big Horn Country. It seemed like a joyous secret tucked away among the mountains, whose hazy, far-away summits were as blue as the sky above them. The lower ranges, too, were blue from purple haze and gray-green sagebrush, while the bare, brown foot-hills tumbling about their feet were golden in the sunlight. Blue lupines and great spikes of mountain larkspur made of the Valley itself a garden which sloped gently to the

Although, at any time, the rich trap manufacturers, by putting their mechanical engineers to work upon the problem, could have produced non-injuring traps, no effort seems to have been made, so long as the cruelty could be hidden. The first voice raised against the atrocity was that of a retired naval officer of distinguished bravery in two wars-Lt. Commander Edward Breck, who, seeing about his camp in the North Woods dreadful instances, in 1925 founded the Anti-Steel-Trap League.
