ored folk of modern times , was many
hundred years ago known as the
cahaw , from the peculiar noise it
made , and , whllo It was web.footed.
It had a beak very similar to that
of the hawk. It was supposed to bo a
cave dweller and had the habits of an
owl , Inasmuch as it was never seen
01' heard except at night.
When white men first set foot on
Bermuda there were traditions among
the natives of the cahaw , . that had
disappeared many genemtlons beCore
the time of the hoariest inhabitant ,
and for more than 100 years scientists
have been disputing among them.
solves as to whether such a bird ever
existed. 1\11' . l\Iawbray believes he
has settled the question.
To all except expert ornithologists
there is qulto as much Interest in the
cave where _ the skeletons were foun
as in the bones themselves. The
cave was discovered laat January by
some negro boys , who by means 01
ropes let themselves clown into 11 hole
they found In a spat of wnsto land
and came upon 11 great chamber with
gleaming white walls and a lake af
Ice wnter. They were In search af
stalactlto cr 'stals and reported that
they had found them In great abund.
nnco.
nnco.Ir. . Mawbray bbcamo interested In
the stories of the womlerful cnve and
explored it himself. Ho was obliged
to swim ncross the lake , and on the
crystal shore on ono shle he found
several skeletons of the long Iloat
bird. In ono spot he found sovernl
feathers completelY encased In cal.
cite , which , so far as he knows , are
the only slloclmens of the kind In the
world. 1\Iany of the bones were on.
crusted In the cnlcite and aU were in
a good state of presorvatlon. The
bird , according to the fealhers found ,
'
was 'whlto below and Its back
and wings wore of a russet color.
These colors , he sa 's , correspond perfectly -
fectly with the best descriptions ob.
tainable of the anclont bird. The
eahaw was about the size ot a
pigeon.
The cave. which i midway between -
tween Hamilton nnd St. George and In
the cast end of old Bermuda , Is I1bout
three miles from the ocean , but It Is ,
the belief of 1\11' . Mawbray that In
the time of the cahaw it had nn opon.
Ing to the sea , and that the birds
came In that way. He said the pres.
ent entrance to.the cave Is a jag/od /
almost porpendlcular hole down
through the rock , and that the 1m.
mense chamber and lake wore 15.
feet below the surfaco. He was sure
that the birds novoI' entered the cave
through that hole. The lalce is about
350 feet long by 150 wide , and the
cavern Is dome shaped and a place
of dazzlIng beauty when the crystal
walls are revealed by a strong light.
An entrance Is being made to the
cave , and It Is to bo ono of the Mhow

Surely Amorlcans cannot compll\ln
at the lack of honors which foreign
countries and societies nrQ bestowing
upon citizens or the United States Cor
'noteworthy achlovemonts and ( Ustln.
sulshlng sorvices. And while there Is
no undlsnlfled eagerness on the Imrt
of Americans for medals and decora.
, tlons , there Is still n wal'l'antod prldo
In receVlng ! such marlts of dlstlnc.
tlon. ' 1'ho already long list of those
who have been thUB honored Is grow.
Ing apnce. and if all whose names ap.
pear there were to form a socloty of
decoratel ! Americans It would start
out with a membership far in excess
of that with which most orgllnlzatlons
begin.
Such a society would not bo In
much favor with Intensely domocratlc
Americans who have been wont to 1'0'
pard ; decorations nlmost In the cate-
Iory of bribes , but such feeling Is
ourely without warrant Ilmlls growing
lOllS each 'ear. Said Count Casslnlon
this point not long before ho left
America for Spain : "I have recolved
33 decorations , and CUIl it bo possible
that according to the old notion I
have been bribed 33 times ? I have
recommended the bestowal of many
decorations , but they were glvon In
recognition of favors rendered without
a thought of a roturn. Indeed , I have
many times during by life been very
clad that I could malce use of such
orders.Ien ! have done me very 'ltlnd
and substantial favors. I could not In
honor after them $100 or $500. They
would have been Insulted by Buch a
crude form of gratitude. The only re'
course at my command was to give a
decoration Or a gold Bnuffbox. The
latter the recllient ) would never use
and could find lIttio plellsure In , so I
have chosen to glvo the decorations
where I could. "
Congress has but twice In 20 years
given its consent for officers of the
government to accept dcoratlons that
have be on tendered them. Further.
more , It is the law that all decora.
tions that foreign governments lUay
wish to glvo to American officials must
bo deposited with the state dOI1 rtment
until the question whether they maybe
bo accepted or not Is decided.
Thu8 I is UlIlt there Is a beautiful
order In gold of Grand Officer of the
Legion of Honor lying In the vaults ot
thb state department for Gen. Chaffeo.
Some time congress may allow him to
receive it. The tlmo may come when ,
as with Admiral McClllla last March ,
he lies on what his tearful family or
dearest friends think Is his deathbed ,
Or it may happen that even then the
doslred permission will be withheld ,
and only after the bravo old soldier is
dead and gene will the decoration pass
to the hands of his wife and children ,
to whom It will bo a treasured testl ,
many to the worth of the man whom
it was intended to honor. Apd yet 11
the order were to bo allowed to be
clven to Gen. Chaffeo he could nol
wear It aM other men wear theirs or
public occasions. No otllcer of the
army or navy nor any civil emploYI
of the government Is permitted by la\1
to wear such an emblem of favor wltl
11 foreign potentate. 'I'his applies tl
the retired officer as well as those h
acUve service.
Once In a long while an official hili
Ii chance to get 0. decoration by wha
is at least a pardonable evasion of th ,
law. Secretary H. H. D. Plerco las
year , when he resigned his post of af
Bistant secretary of the state deparl
ment to accept the appointment a
minister to Norway , spent a day I :
private life between the two posltioDE
and In that choice interval took goo. .
) . care to call for his decorations , whlcl
It had for years , In some cases , laid II
I : the vaults of the department. Amoni
e them were the Order of the Doubl
'r ' Dragon , conferred by the Chlneso gO\
c ernment , and the cross of a com mar :

In the same way William F. WIl
