b ! ! 2 3 j ¥ THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12 r 11 1895 NESTING ON STEEP CLIFFS Timid Birds Lay Millions of Eggs on the Farallone Islands, AN INDUSTRY OF PACIFIC COASTERS An- Are Thousnnds of the Kgxs Markete nunily in ‘Frisco~How T Secured from th Aviary—A Da e FOCeNs. for three | | How many people know that months every summer hen's eggs in the mar- kets of San Francisco have to taks a back seat, giving precedence to the cheaper, larger | and handsomer eggs of California murre, or sulll a bird related to the auk, which | breeds in countless thousands upon the Faral- lone islands A new and singular industry has been developed, says the San Francisco | Bxaminer, in the gathering of these eggs for | the market by Italian end Greek fishermen, Wwho peril their lives in frail fishing boats and n scaling the rocks for the eggs of the | murre. Three clusters of rocky islands of voleanic origin, thirty miles from San Francisco, In the Pacific ocean, form the Farallones, South Farallone being the largest and the onl inhabited. Although of surpassing intere account of their wild picturesqueness and the myriads of birds which there find a summer home, the Karallones are seldom, if ever, visited by the tourists. They are difficult of access, small flshing boats or an occasional out-golng tug being the only means of transit. South Farallone is about a mile in length and half a mile wide, everywhere cut up by Jagged bridges, precipitous bluffs, where the ot, a8 and rocky points, the highest, where the lighthou s sit being 349 feet above the sea. The whole island may be said to bo a veritable city of the birds, covering their cggs in dense colonies, swimming and diving or wheeling by thousands through the air with shrill, incessant cries. The bird census there has never been laken. Besides the murre, which lays the mar- ketable eggs, tufted puffins, western gulls, three species of cormorants, casin's auklet the ashey petrel and the pigeon guillemot breed in large numbers. The murre lays one large, pear-shaped kg, having about twice the capacity of a hen's egg. This is curiously and beautifully marked in many shades of red, brown and green, In surprising variation. The cggs sell readily at 20 cents a dozen In the mar- kets, and that they are considered valuable as a food supply Is evidenced by the fact that 160,000 dozen are consumed annutlly In spite of this enormous product the birds scem to be almost as prolific as ever, al- though near the close of son's collecting many “runt” eggs are found, Two men who were left on Sugar Loaf, an Isclated rock 185 feet high, collected 150,000 murre's eggs in one season, The eggers usually consist of twely fifteen men, who inspect the great rooker to o5 early in the scason to see if the birds have begun laying., When the time is ready to begin work a curious but necessary per- formance takes place. The whole Island is gone over and all the murre's eggs within reach are broken or thrown into the sea. This is to insure fresh eggs, for the eggers main- tain (hat“an egg that has been sat upon for a day s unfit for market. This is a time of rejoicing for the sea gulls, who love to feed upon the murre's eggs and are relentle: plrates, robbing the poer murre at every op- portunity of the one egg she so zealously guards. Unlike the gull, the murre makes no nest Whatever, covering Its cgg on any bare rock that will support it. If left undisturbed the murres would lay but one egg cach during a season, but as they are robbed taey continue laying. The collecting outfit of the egger is simple. A cotton flour sack is made into an ‘egg hirt" by cufting out a hole in the bottom for the head, and one on each side for arm holes; a gathering string about the mouth of the sack permits it to be drawn tightly about the waist, while a slit down the shirt in front makes an opening for stowing away the eggs. A little of the coarse Farallone weed, the only vegetable to bo found on the island, s used for a shirt lining. It Is as- tonishing how many of the large eggs can be carried in such a shirt, eighteen to twenty dozen being considered a fair load for each man. When an egg shirt 1s filled it is emptied into a basket to be taken to the landing. It overtzken by night the eggers dump the eggs Into a pile, sometimes containing 1,000 dozen, until the next day. Great care is taken to cover the baskets or heaps with old sacking or weeds, weighted with rocks, to prevent the rapaclous gulls from getting at the eggs. These persistent thieves invariably hang about, and if an egg 1s espied through an opening they will tug at it until it is secured, when the lucky bird files away with the booty, followed by its scrceching com- rades, who soon attract a_ great flight of gvllln, and often In an incredibly short space f time they have taken every egg. The egg picking usually beging on Sugar Loaf, it heing warmer there and more pro- tected from prevaillng winds. This rock is reaclied by a boat, which Is left in charge of one man, while four or five of, his com- panfons scale the dangerous cliffs and collect the eggs about Its precipitous sides. Mean- whiie the voracious gulls hover over the men, screaming and cackling for a share of the plunder. This 1s one of the most difficult places for collecting on the Island, and ropes are made fast to enable the hardy Grecks to reach the more Inaccessible places Two of the eggers have lost their lives on this rock. One of them fell into the sea and his boly was never found. He had unwisely put too many eggs into his shirt, and while crossing a narrow shelf the eggs actually crowded him off. Other accidents of minor importance occur frequently. One egger who had some ten dozen eggs in his shirt fell and rolled about twenty fest. He was uninjured, but egg soaked. The Great Arch, a wonder of the islands, forming a natural bridge where the surf churns in from the sea below, is fairly coy- ered with marres, and even far down on the dizzy sides of the chasm they find a place for their eggs on the shelving rocks. Here, whero it would seem to be suicide to follow them, the adventurous eggers risk their necks to gather hundreds of dozen of eggs. Botween the eggers and the gulls the murres have a hard life of It. They are clumsy birds on land, and when huddled in a cave can frequently be caught by the hand The stench in such places arising from the accumulation of guano, Is frightful. The gulls not only carry off their eggs bodily to be broken on some rocks and eaten at leisure, but they will feed upon the young birds; for this reason the parent murres show constant anxioty for thelr young. They never leave them ‘alone. As soon as they are old enough to take to the water they are safe and the old birds may be seen at night in ghostly procession, leading and shoving the little murres over the crags to the sea, They have another dread enemy In the hawks from the mainland, that come by scores At certain seasons to prey upon them and their young. The csgers are themselves half pirates, trespassing on Uncle Sam'’s islands, and the United States authorities have, on a number strangest fog horn ever in use. heard far out at sex. The lighthouse keepers live in substantial residences, from which a telephone line goes up to the lighthouse. A track winds around through the rocks from the landing place in Fisherman's bay, a car being used to carry the oil and government supplies. 014 “Jerry,” the island’s government mule, Is the propelling power, and he enjoys the distinction of being the only quadruped, aside from rabbits, on the island, A diet of sea gull's ezgs and years of solitary contempla- It could be on have made him wondrous wise. When he hears the whistle of the government steamer Jerry knows his services will be demanded to pull the ofl car, and stralghtway he beats a direct retreat and hides In some n until he thinks all danger is over. the curious features of the island, caver A the sea-lion must not be overlooked, for thess immense, blunder creatures cover the rocks by thousands, while others disport themsalves in the Huge bull sea-liens, weighing from 2,000 to 5000 pounds, loli about rocks indifferently, or with a few premonitory roars amble to the edge of a clift and plunge Into the sea. If they have calves, one or two of the great, animated masses of blubber will uspally remaln to and guard over them, opening their mouths to_intimidate the intruder. Pho Ttalians shoot the sea-lion, also a very pretty and graceful “leopard seal,” for their skins. It takes a first-class rifla shot to kill 1 sea-lion, as they are vulverable in one or two spots only Day or night, In the summer time the Far- allones are ever animated; the myriads of birds fly to and fro with wild cries unceas- y, while at night the petrels come forth, the squalls of the auklet are heard, and over the beating surf and weird, castied rocks, the gulls hover over the island in moonlight like a molten shield of silver. TO WOME DANGERS OF FASHION, Dendly Dyes with Which Many lar Fabrics Arve Colored The microbe has been taking up so much of the public attention recently that people are beginning to forget that there are other poi- sons besldes those manufactured in the pri- vate laboratory of this ingeniols little worker, Yet arsenic can kill as well as tuberculosis, and lead is as fatal as diphtheria; and it we put the former on our clothes and rub the latter on our faces we shall one day repent it. According to a Parislan physician who has been taking a census of the dangers that lurk in the boudoir of a fashionable woman, she is fortunate it she escapes being polsoned, and even if she does she runs great risk of being burned to death. In the first place, a great number of color~d fabrics are more or less poisonous. Many dyes are toxic. As is well knawn, arsenic is chiefly to be blamed for this fact, though the law forblds the use of arsenical salts in dyes. Some persons are apt to think that the quantity of poison in a wall paper or a fabric is, after all, very small, but this Is by no means the case. Certain stuffs contain more than two gramines of arsenious acid to the yard—particularly the gauzy green fabrics Many accidents are caused by aniline colors, and above all by fuchsin and coralin, whi ire made by treating rosalic acid with ammo- nla. Fuechsin is not poisonous in itself, but rosanilin, of which this and many other color- ing matt are salts, are obtalned by treat- fng aniline with oxidizer of which two a 15 dangerous as they a namely, > common: nitrate of mercury and arsenic acld; and it is tare to find fuchsin that dpes not contain more or less poison. The observations of French physicians have shown that articles of clothing colored with this substance and placed in contact with the skin ecause not only local eruptions but symptoms of dis- ease throughout the system. For instance, cases of erythema and serious inflammation of the skin have been caused by wearing red ino stockings colored by the makers with nilin containing arsenic as an impurity. This Is only one of many examples of pro- ducts, harmless in themselves, that hecome actively poisonous by reason of Impurities dua to some process of preparation. But the unfortunate modern woman not only runs the risk of poisoning herself with every article of clothing she dons, she may also” be seriously burned by the explosivi that she uses daily in the tollet. First, there are the articles made of cellulold—now found on every toilet table, though often masquerading as horn or ivory. Cellulold is a compound of camphor and gun cotton, and is highly inflammable, but, In spite of this, its cheipness and the ease with which it may be shaped have made it a favorite material for combs, hairpine and all sorts of small fancy toilet articles, even for arti- ficial teeth, whose wearers probably do not roalize that they are transforming their mouths into animated bombs charged with gun cotton, Among all these cellulold toilet articles, however, combs are the only ones that hav hitherto caused accidents. The most serious accident of this kind, or, at all events, the one that made the greatest impression on the public, was one that occurred In France A little girl on her return from school was set to work at ironing near a stove. During her work sh> leaned constantly toward the hot stove, so that her head was almost di- rectly over it, and after she had been in this attitude for about an hour her imitation tortoise shell comb, made of celluloid, caught fire all at once, and her head was in an in- stant enveloped in flames. Her mother ha tened to her ald and put out the fire soon as she could, but not before a large part of the child’s bair had been burned off and her scalp had sustained a serious burn about four inches square, which was long in healing. Liss serious burns have resulted from wearing the long double celluloid hair- pins with which women so often transfix their hair. When they bend over a lamp, or even a candle, the projecting part often comes In contact with the flame and takes fire like a match, but it is usually easy to extinguish it before it reaches the Rar. There are fabrics, too, that are litte better than explosive. Not to speak of the light, easily inflammable stuffs that abound, there is a sort of cheap flannel called pilou, largely used for women's garments, especlally wrap- pers and nightdresses. The surface is of variegated hue and covered with long, silky hairs formin a sort of down, and takin fire like fulminating cotton when brought near a lamp, candle or open fire. The flame spreads rapidly over the whole surface, gen- erally going out of itself, but often taking hold of the body of the fabric, giving rise to very serious burns. In December, 1889, a servant was burned In this way, and the French sanitary authorities condemned pilon as a dangerous fabric for ‘use in making garments with flowing skirts. Cholera in Honolulu. As soon as it became known that cholera was certain to become epidemic in HonoluM a local drug house there ordered a large sup- ply of Chamberlain's Colie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The directions given are 10 g0 to bed as soon as the first symptoms appear; remain as quiet as possible and take this remedy In double doses, every fificen minutes until the pain ceases, and then after cach operation of the bowels more than natural, Send for a physician, but take the remedy In this way until he arrives. It should be kept at and ready for instant v The great success of this remedy in | epldemlical dysentery leads us to believe that it will prove very effsctual in the treatment of cholera.

A little over a year ago a man named Shu- ler, who for thirty years had besh operating turpentine orchards in the pineries of Geor- gla, visited the Lake Charles section of Louis- lana with a view of establishing a branch camp should the outlook prove favorable. From the moment that he landed, writes a correspondent of the Globe-Democrat, old croakers who owned not an acre of timber began uttering their voices In protest. “The forests will be killed. The timber will be rendeced unfit for lumber. The bugs will take the trees.” These were only a few of tho discouraging predictions which were poured into his ear free of charge, But Mr. Shuler was not in the least disturbed. Allow- ing them to sing the old song through to the last stanza, he thanked the artists for the entertainment they had afforded him, and called upon one of the largest land owners in Calcasieu. After introducing himself and ex- plaining the object of his visit, he was in- vited by his host to take a trip to the great logging camps a few miles above town. Here the Georglan saw an army of men equipped with keen saws and double-bladed axes mak- ing war on the giants of the forest, and, while he admired the facility with which these experienced men hewed down the great trees and sawed them Into convenient lengths for transportation, it grieved him to think of the thousands of dollars’ worth of crude tur- pentine which was going to waste cach year for want of some enterprising person to take the matter in hand. Just what agreement was entered into by the two gentlemen is not known. At all events, the old turpentiner cleared for Georgia with a broad smile on his face, and returned In January with a force of forty-two darkies, every one of them a rosin- heel, and not one but whd had “‘been dippin’ gum since right after de surrender.’” OPERATIONS BEGUN. No time was lost in transporting the hands and their belongings to the woods. The very next day axes began flashing through the air, poles were skinned, clapboards were split, and @ camp was established at a point about three years ahead of the loggers and nearly cighteen miles from town, on the line of the C. V. & S. railway. Today there are in the orchards 60,000 flowing trees. This number represents six “crops,” 10,000 being consid- red the least number that can be profitably worked, and therefore called a crop. The process employed by this gentleman in extracting the crude turpentine is an inven- tion of his own, and is far ahead of the ol methiods. The damage suffered by the trees is comparatively small, and the timber, In- stead of being rendered unfit for lumber, ro- mains uninjured. Moreover, it Is claimed that among logs from which the gum w extracted previous to felling the loss from “sivkers” is reduced to a minimum. By the old method, a “box” four Inches deep is cut into the tree to serve as a receptacle for the gum as it flows from the { Just above. As often as necessity may require a new box is inflicted on th: tree, which, after one or two seasons, dies by reason of the many deep wounds, Be- sides, in orchards where this method Is eni- ployed, the loss from wind storms fs erormous. Each year thousands of trees which might otherwise have stood are broken off at the boxes. In facing a tree for the extraction of tur- pertine by the Shuler process a V-shaped t is made with a crosscut saw. Just above four inches of chip is cut out with a “hack,” leaving two drains only an inch in depth and meeting in a common angle, A spout extending two inches below the inter- section Is scooped out with a common gouge. Immediately under this spout a furrow Is cut in the bark and a nall is driven, on which is hung the glazed earthenware “‘cup,'” the rim fitting snugly into the furrow -and thus precluding all possibility of the flow taking the trail to the ground. The eups now in use have a capacity of three pints and resemble an ordinary flower pot. When the trees have all been faced, then commences the work of “dipping,” so called from the old practice of dipping the gum from the boxes with a paddle. The cups are emptied every two weeks by darkles, who collect the “crude” In buckets and pour it into barrels conveniently placed. Each dip- per is supposed to tend 100 trees a day. In order to facllitate the flow of sap the “‘chip- pers” go through the orchards once a week and widen the faces with a “hack,” each time cutting away about an inch of the upper edge. Toward the end of the season these scars extend upward several feet from the spout, and before the gum can reach the cup it hardens and has to be scraped down In the late fall when the sap has ceased to flow the darkies watch for a ralny day and set fire to the faces. By following this plan the hardened gum which has resisted the edge of the scrapers is melted and runs down into the cups, where it is protected from further injury by the water, which is always present In greater or lesser quanti- les, owing to the frequent rains, and the fire for want of fuel soon dles out. After this forced flow has been dipped a new faco is cut above the old one and the cups are moved up ready for the “virgin flow” in the following spring. Between the 10th of March and the 1st of November no trees are faced or chipped, these dates having been fixed by the Tur. pentine Producers’ association In order fto protect the timber from These little borers are liable to enter and kill any freshly cut tree during the summer months, ATTORNEYS, land. organ, Stevenson, Watson.

THE TURPENTINE STILL. On the banks of the Houston river, where it is crossed by the C., V. & . road, is erected the still for {reating the crude tur- | pentine. Set over a furnace and built about | by a wall of solld masonry is the great | copper caldron in which the gum is boiled, 1,000 gallons at a time. From the dome on top runs the worm and drops In descending cofls through a cistern of cold water, Along | this spiral way creeps the caldron vapors | which chill by contact with the cold pipe and flow in a mixed iwam trom. the nozsle | to the barrel belowg' The spirits being the | lighter, rise to the #WFfhce and run through | a copper pipe into &nother barrel, while the | low wine'” remain§ at the bottom and is drawn off from belows After the process of distillation h been ccomplished, the rosin is drawn off through a valve in the still, passing first through a | forty mesh screen and then through a thick | layer of cotton batting. Having thus been strained of all imporitkes, the bolling rosin flows along a trough in which are two-nch holes bored at intervala of about three feot. Previous to the flow all are plugged but three | or four at the farther end of the trough When the correspondluf barrels are full the plugs are inserted and more holes are opened, and so on until the still is empty. Each bar- rel weighs 250 pounds, and requires forty- eight hours to cool. The first which flow after the opening of the valve Is of a highe grade than that which comes last. I was told that specimens of the fincst rosin made here had been sent to dealers both in St. Louis and New York, and that it outgraded any- thing that they had been in the, habit of handling. I was shown a number of pleces which were almost white, At this plant two “strikes” per day are boiled off, and the proportion of spirits to crude is one in five. All the work fs per- formed by darkies of long experience. Tie fircman is a six-footer with a hand like a shovel, and the way in which that highly ebonized son of Africa flings open the doors and crams in the pitch pine shows him to be “no common, ordinary nigger." The other darky shuffled along in his No. 13 shoes, now testing the boiling sap, now regulating the flow of spirits, and all the while singing over and over again a line or two of a song about “de yellar gal away ober in de Jordan lan'.” There is also a cooper on the premises, who has so much to do putting rosin barrels to- gether and heading them up when filled that ho finds no time to tune his voice, and ap- pears not to be even “studin’ ‘bout his gal.” All are happy enough, but they will drink the low wine from the still. Some of them are perfect slaves to the habit, and when they go to take a swallow, often forget Just how much they bave already imbibed, and the consequences are disastrous. When a man gets an overdose of this stuff, he is neither “silly,” nor “tipsy,” nor “muddled,” nor “boc but drunk—uproariously drunk The stuff contains a large per cent of alcohol, and, strange to say, has no flavor of turpen- tine about it, but tastes something like strong wino. Years ago some one discovered that a littlo of it was good for a certain complaint, and the turpentine niggers have been ailing ever since. e A Woman exsing.
