Good News For Those Kssviur Bird.

DR. G. F. ]. Colburn. Of this city, has lust
secured patent for an Improvement in bird
cages. The improvement consists in making the
whole cage Of rsticulated or woven wire strong
and durable. It is claimed for this mode Of con-
structing cage that 1t protects the bird from
the enemy, the eat, as pussy cannot insert her
paws between the wires. 1t also prevents the
waste Of seed and gravel creating nuisance by
being thrown upon the carpet or floor Of the
room, and Likewise the access Of mice or other.
Vermin to the food, often the cause Of fright TO.
the bird and the death OF the pet 1t also pre
vents the escape Of the bird through the vfres
Although these cages are made Of woven
material, still the bird can be clearly seen and
receives all necessary air and light This "a re n
also provided with seif-locking fastening giving
greater security, and perch, so constructed thai
4 can readily be removed from the cage without
dropping into i., and frightening the bird by its
removal The Doctor has also invented new
bsthing-eup and 2ucer for bird cages. which
when applied to the bottom not only answers to
hold the sand and gravel and to keep the bottom
Of the cage clean, but provides bathing -fount
for the use Of the bird. The above Improvement
in bird cages furnishes cage fully as ornamental
and ct as reasonable price at the cage in
