SINGULAL TRAIT INNYONIING BIRDS.
A gentleman in the Rocky mountains
has made a discovery in regard to the
habits of swallows which is very inter
esting. to say the least of it. The male
and female make a nest in some shelter
ed place, where they raise little brood,
taking all the care of them imaginable.
After they are grown up and are able to
take care OF themselves. the mother lays
some eggs. and when they are Matched
out. both father. mother and the older
brothers and sisters all engage in supply
ing the little ones with food. This is Il
most singular fact. and has never before
been noticed, so far as known. The
young birds that are able to fly about
engage in a hunt for graSshoper5, moths
etc, which they carry to their little
brothers and sisters in the nest, feeding
them with as much care as if they were
in fact parents. In the hot wealth
ct the tiny swallows are almost shelter
ed with heat, and lie in their hot nests,
painting and unhappy, until they get
large enough TO 90 out in the world and
do something for themselves. They
must be supplied with water in some
way by the old birds, who probably
bring il 10 them in their bills.

CANARIES AS CONCERT SINGERS
An entire novelty in the concert singing
department of musical art is promised
to the lovers of sweet sounds by an in
penious citizen of PheniXville, South
Australia. This gentleman has for
some years past devoted himself eXclu-
sively to the training of canary birds IN
every known method of YocallZatlon,
and, as we gather from antipOdean
Journals, with extraordinary success. -
But he has recently crowned his tri-
upphs as a very Lamperti of feathered
songsters by inventing a mechanical APP
paratus by which his yellow pupils will
be taught to perform music of more
reccndite and complicated character than
mere ballads and opera airs. He pro-
poses with the aid of this cOntrivance,
not only to produce canary sOlOists, ca
pable of executing airs like dip Your
Chair. - or dee Tanty," as the immOr-
tai Jeames de Ia Pluche designated the
florid displays fashionable in his day,
but to teach his pupils part-singing and
the rendering of the most difficult mod
eTn OpeTatic chOruseS. These aStOnish-
ing results are to be attained by the fol-
lowing process The cages in which the
professors pupils reside are hung up in
front of a mirror. behind which is fixed
a musical box which plays the solo, part
song or chorus they are desired to per
FORM The birds listen eagerly to the
music. turning their attention to the
quarter when it proceeds. Their gaze
is naturally directed to the mirror, in
which they see the reflection of their
own graceful persons. At once they
hop to the conclusion that their cOun-
terfeit preseltments are real live cana
ries melodIously engaged in singing un-
familiar strains that delight their ears.
From observation to imitation, it ap-
pears, is but a step with the intelligent
and tuneful canary bird. He is apt, in
concerted music, to double a part, and
betrays Il prediction for the 'leading
business - but being gifted with a
quick ear, he soon recognizes the disiTa-
