A NEW DAINTY.
The Trade in Blackbirds for Culinary
Purposes Rapidly increasing.

The Trade in Blackbirds for Culinary
Purposes Rapidly increasing.
There is large trade in Philadelphia
in blackbirds. Some years ago, when
it first began, very few birds were sold;
but the restaurants and private families
found out that the birds could be made
tender and palatable by parboiling
them and then baking them in pie;
and now dozens of punches of black
birds, twelve in a bunch, are sold at
the very best game depots. The trade
continues from April, when the birds
come back from the South, until early
October, when they leave this latitude;
and all the season through there is one
unvarying price demanded for this sort
of game, viz, twenty-five cents per
''bunch'' of twelve birds. The birds
are shot by farmers boys and other
sportsmen As the birds fly to their
feeding grounds in the morning and
back to their sroosts" in the woods at
sundown, and their line of flight is
straight, the gunners can fire volleys
into their fiuttering fiecks whenever
they come within range while crossing
the country. At early morning and an
hour or two before the sun sets, the
swamp and -blackbirds, two very
different species, seem less wary and
feed in the field, or along the banks of
creeks and rivers, where worms and
fresh-wster shellfish abound. and then
the volleys of No. shot decimate their
sable ranks.
Theoretically, there is no reason why
the flesh of blackbirds should not be
used for food. They feed on cherries,
currants, fruit, grain and worms, just
as reed-birds, doves, wild pigeons and
plenty of other palatable game birds
do. Blackbirds don't eat carrion, and
although they are polygamous, don't
mate and lay their eggs in the nests of
other birds, they are not otherwise diff
ferent from other species. They are
noisy, cheeky and great pests of the
farmers who have cherry orchards or
graperies, and those who know black
BIRDS best will set it down as an invari-
able rule that if they can steal ripe
cherries they will not touch any other
kind of food. No country people eat
blackbirds any more than they eat
crows. Ihey look upon Doth WarDlefs
with about the same sort of feelings.
There Is tradition in the neighboring
counties that blackbirds eat carrion,
but it is not true, though their flesh is
rank enough before being parboiled.
A blackbird roost, that is, a place
where hundreds or thousands of the
sable-feathered pests flock and scream
at night, is regarded by tillers of the
soil as local misfortune, and it often
happens that dozen farmers, with
their sons and hired hands, all armed
with guns, will lie in ambush evening
after evening, for several days, in
order to shoot the birds as they fly in
small black clouds at night, to a har-
boring place of this sort.-M. 7. Mai!

DENSITY OF THE SUN.

Interesting and Instructive Facts Conn
piled by Professor Lockyer.
If we take water as our unit of dem
sity, the density of the earth is 1,444. If
we take the density of the earth as l,
then the value is about 0.25-practic,
ally quarter. These values have been
determined by taking the volume of
the sun as given by the diameter of the
photos phere-8O0, 900 miles. Now, we
have had to concede 100000 miles for
the h eight of one atmosphere above the
phetosphere, and 1000. 900 miles for an
other, and it is not fair that those at
mospheres should be left out of consid-
Grafton. If we include these atmos-
pheres, though we do not alter the
mass, we alter the volume. If we put
the same mass into bigger volume,
we naturally reduce the density. Now.
if we take the atmosphere of the sun
as extending to 100, 900 miles above the
atmosphere, thatwill give us radius of
$50, 900 miles, instead of 430, ZOO miles,
and we shall, as nearly as may be, double
the suns volume. Therefore we shall
have halved the density. Instead of
being quarter as dense as the earth it
will only be one-eighth as dense, and,
instead of it being just denser than
water, it will be little over half the
density of water. The gases of the
center may put on the appearance, if
they do not put on all the physical
properties, of liquid; but, be this as it
may, in any region that we can get at,
unfortunately limited to something like
5000 miles away from the center, we
are undoubtedly dealing with masses Of
gas. Midland Industrial Gazette.
