Lecture on Life in North Woods

Mr. W. L. Underwood delivered a lecture last night in the Union on "A Strange Story of the North Woods: A Study of Animal Life in the Wilderness." The lecture was illustrated by stereopticon views showing life in the Maine lumber camps, and snapshots of animal life in the North. During the lecture Mr. Underwood gave excellent imitations of the calls of the loon and the ruffed grouse. He told a story about a bear-cub which was found by the lumbermen, and brought up in one of the camps. When the bear grew larger Mr. Underwood bought it and took it to his home. He showed some very ludicrous snapshots of the bear in its youthful days. One of these was taken while the bear was playing football with a fex-terrier. Many of the lecturer's pictures illustrated the exciting life of the Maine lumberman. In the log jams the men balance themselves on the logs as they shoot the rapids. One of the pictures showed a lumberman smoking his pipe on the end of a log while he guided it down the stream.
