MOCKING BIRDS.
where They Come From and The
Prices They Bring.

81 have been buying and selling birds
tor the last ten years, y said a dealer to Il
Louisville Courier Journal reporter. 81
buy EN- in New Orleans from the dealers
there, and bring them up here and to
northern cities / only buy hooking
birds, rs good canaries are worth more
there than they are here. These which
you see | have snapped my birds for, and
am taking them back to sell on my next
trip. will get So or 81 for them there,
while up here they are worth only about
half as much"
Glow much do the others cost you7"
"The Knockers cost me 90 cents apiece
in New Orleans when | buy from the bird
merchants. They are creoles who buy
them from the boys who make a business
of catching the young ones before they
leave the nest, When | buy from these
boys only have to pay 10 or 10 cents
apiece, but it Is not often | have the
chance as | don't stay long and must get
up n lot as soon rs possible"
"Who catches the birds and where do
they find theml"
"The boys, black and white, who live
out on the plantations and the coast.
They make n regular business of this, and
when they catch enough they bring them
to the city and sell them t. the street bird
merchants. 1t is against the law now to
take them from the plantations, and
most of them come from the s~eacoast."
where do the old ones build their
nestsl'
Everywhere. almost, but generally in
wild rose bushes, old fences, and low
trees. They are not very particular about
their nests, and make 'em out of a few
sticks, which they lay up together and fix
them SO they will just hold the eggs.
They lay four or five, and every one
matches. When left to themselves they
rails" only two broods, but when they are
taken out by the catchers they lay and
hatch three or four. The business is a
much larger n than you might think,
as thousands of young birds are bought
and sold every day"
"Where did you get your parrots2"
81 bought them of the New Orleans
dealers, too. They get 'em off boats
which are sent to catch 'em on the islands
and on the coast. They are not real par.
rots, and can't talk, but they sell as well,
MS lots of people want them. They cost
50 or S3 down there, and here we get 81
or SO, dependin' mostly on the customer
"Where do you sell your stocks9"
"Oh, most everywhere. l bring 'em
here, and take 'em to lots of northern
cities. People in northern towns pay the
best prices, but they like canaries better
than Knockers"
"What sort of people buy the most2"
"Working people. Since l have been
here | have sold only two or three to rich
customers. 1t seems like they had rather
have dogs than birds Here n con.

Mr.. Gillet went into an adjoining room,
where he had another telephone connect
ing with the one on the table. The
receiving tube of the new apparatus was
put in position. After q few minutes it
began to emit n series of distinct "hellos''
in a bass voice.
After returning to the room Mr., Gillett
said that ten batteries, ten devaiting
points and ten induction coils have about
six times the power of one battery and n
corresponding number of other necessary
electrical agencies He thought the time
was not remote when we could not only
speak across the ocean, but also see those
to whom we might be speaking. He said
that an experiment with the new tolo-
phone probably would be made in ten days
between places in Maine and Massachu-
sets, five hundred miles apart.
