BARK-HUNTING HAS PERILS Rattlers, Copperheads and Mosquitoes Make Life a Daily Risk. PENNSYLVANIA WOOD Woodsmen ever in Danger From Venomous Reptiles. An army of hu'sky woodsmen throughout central Pennsylvania's timber woods has just completed other season's bark peeling, says the "Williamsport correspondent of the Philadelphia Record. May, June and July are the months in which the bark peelers "hump themselves," and between the time necessary to kill rattlesnakes and fight mosquitoes the peelers are tearing off ponderous hemlock and cutting the latter into board lengths for the loggers next winter. Except.

for the hazardous work of log driving, there is no branch bf lumbering that commands the wages or entails' the danger that bark peeling does. Scores of haidy chaps who gladly accept employment on saw mills or at logging when snow lies on the ground would no more help peel bark than they would fly. The danger of failing trees must be reckoned with, but the principal drawback is the experiences with snakes rattlers and copperheads. On Cook's Bun this season alone two crews of bark peelers killed seventy-eight rastle snakes and over forty copperheads. Two men were bitten by and a third by a copperhead: As a rule the men are more fearful the copperheads than they are of the rattlers, for the reason that this variety of snakes appears to have a liking- for the smell and the cool fresh bark, so that they, curl up under a slab of bark and are often lifted up by men" before' their presence is discovered.

'Trail Blazers" of Lumber Woods. Bark peelers are the trail blazers of the lumber woods. They push back into wildernesses and deep swamps, so tbat the denizens and dangers of the-forest are theirs to contend with Mosquitoes during June and. July are.

Bark peelers have gone blind from the onslaught or me pests stirred up by swarms in the deep dark swamps. -Every peejer each morning is provided at the camp with a half-pint bottle filled with a mixture of coal tar and sweet oil. and this stuff is applied on face and hands and arms, though care must.be taken not to get it in the eyes, else a layoff of several days will be required toj doctor up the optics. Bark peelers al-: so are always provided with strong! strings with which to bind an arm or leg bitten by a snake, for the oest proved remedy to prevent the spread of the serpent's poison throughout the system is to, quickly apply a compress above the wound and stop circulation below that-point; A man bitten by a snake is also plentifully dosed with whisky. Wages from $2.50 to $3 a Day.

The wages of bark peelers is from $2.50 to $3 a day and "found" that boarded at the camp. The hours are from 6 a. m. to 6 p. while their hour of getting out in the morning is 4:30.

Breakfast is served at 5 o'clock, and as usual thing the cutting is not more than a halt-hour's walk from camp. Bark delivered at the tanneries, commands an average price of $8 a ton. An ordinary tree will yield a half cord of bark, though there are hemlocks felled in Pennsylvania woods whose trunks produce over a cord of bark. A tree of this kind, in addi-dition to the $8 worth of bark, is of $15 value to the same millman for its lumber. The prodigal cutting of Penn-slyvania's mammoth hemlock forests has made the tanners anxious as to a future bark supply, and the stock being husbanded at the tanneries in great stacks, covering acres of ground.

With proper roofing and sheathing bark thus stacked will retain its tan ning properties for many years, so that the extensive storage now in progress is only a precaution against the day when the mountains will have been denuded and the punk peelers will have found their employment gone. This, however, is ten years away. Husky, hungry, and happy alliteratively describes the punk peeler. Up early at breakfast of ham, bacon, boiled potatoes, black coffee and warm pie, (for the "cookee" of the camp and his helpers have been at work two hours before), the peelers go whistling away lo work. At noon one of the "cookee's" assistants, with a ponderous basket crammed to the top with sandwiches and pies, arrives at the cutting.

A white jug filled with mountain water deftly tilted over the wrist of the thirsty peeler gurgles a song of sweetness as the contents pour themseives down the throat of the rugged fellow. At the end of the, day, when the men "fall to" around the camp table, the sight is one worth seeing, and the way the boiled beef, baked beans, potatoes and pie disappear reminds one of the feeding of a regiment of soldiers. Peeling season over, the bark pelers coalesce into the ranks of sawmill men and ordinary loggers, where their wages no longer remain at peeler's rates.
