Continuation of the Trial of the
Charges Against the commissioner
OF Public Works.

OF Public Works.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The trial of the
charges made by Mayor Grace against
Commissioner of Public Works Squires
was continued to-day. The throng of
spectators was larger than yesterday. The
third of the seven charges was taken up
malfeasance in Office in evading and failing
to comply with certain provisions of the
law. This was commonly understood to
refer to the application of the civil service
law as interpreted by Commissioner
Squire. Water Register John II. Cham
beers testified to men having been appointed
to places as aXemen in the department who
were afterwards transferred to higher
grades in the same department.. These
men were transferred to higher departments
after day or so of service as aXemen and
without having performed any duties as
aXemen. Chief Engineer Bridal testified
that he never personally made any trans
fers, but always received his orders from
either the commissioner or his deputy.
Some of those thus detailed per-
formed services as messengers in the
department and did not return to
act as aXemen under the Supervision Of the
witness. The salaries of the aXemen as
appointed were generally paid out of the
Croton water fund. The evidence of this
witness indicated very clearly that several
men were carried on the pay rolls as en-
plOyed on repairs and maintenance of the
aqueduct and their salaries charged to the
CrotOn water fund, when they were en-
ployed in the department at totally different
work in violation of the civil service laws.
Mr.. Strahan, Squire's counsel. and the
mayor got into a dispute in regard to an OBJ
lection taken by counsel, which the mayor
overruled. Mr.IStrahan said that whatever
the mayor should do in this case he could
not shut him off from the governor. He
charged that the mayor was simply acting
on a preconcerted arrangement to secure
the appointment of commissioner of pub
lie works Seligman Manufacturer, chief
clerk of the civil service board, testified re-
garding the operation of the civil service
law. and said that none of the axemen men
toned in the evidence appeared before the
board for the purpose of qualifying them
selves for the exchange of position.

THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
An Entertaining Lecture on the Sub
iect by DIR. Merriam.

Or. G. Hartt Merriam delivered the fifth Of
the series Of lectures given under the auspices
Of the AnthrOpological Society and the Blolog.
ical Society In the lecture hall OF the National
Museum Saturday afternoon. A critical and
distinguished audience listened attentively to
the discussion of 1.-THE Migration Of Birds"
The subject Of bird migration has engrossed
the attention of mankind since the human
race was in It's infancy. From earliest historic
times u0turalists, philosophers, and other
observers Of nature have specialized and thee.
rized upon the periodical appearance and dis
birds migrate because IL Is necessary for
them to do so in order to exist. IL they did
not migrate they would starve. Food, then,
is the prime factor which Induces migration.
Ducks remain at the north till the freezing
over OF the water near the shore deprives them
OF their customary subsistence; they are then
TO obtain sufficient food. A birds home ls its
breeding ground. Whether II remains there
the year round or wanders more or less ex.
tensivelv after the duties of the rearing Its
young have been attended to, or whether
these wanderings have been extended and re-
peated In the same direction till II regularly
performs long mgrations to distant lands, has
been shown 70 depend on food supply, and
the three conditions havo been seen to inter
grade. Many. years ago Darwin demonstrated
the fact that the normal increase Of species Is
vastly in excess of the possibilities of life, for
normal reproduction takes place in geometrl-
col progression, and the progeny.of q single
WOulu hOOu InulNlply W
such IN extent that they would overrun the
whole world. This inordlnate increase is held
in check by the natural limits Of the food
| supply.
The sustaining capabilities OF region arc
| limited and the scale OF nature ispretty evenly
| adjusted, SO far as supply and demand are
| concerned, except where man steps In to
| break the balance. Beyond n certain limit
| the excess oflife must perish; all overcrowding
| inevitably leads to death.
Birds follow the ancestral tracks In their
| present migratons. The reason why some
| birds migrate ut night is, they obtain better
| view ofthe country over which they are passing,
| and they avoid number of dlstracting and
| confusing influences which might render their
| fight:less direct. In undlsturbed migration
| birds move ut great heights-irom one to two
| and half miles-above the country oyer
| which they are passing. The nights on which
| migration takes place are calle1 nights of bird
| flights or waves. The habit OF migration was
brought about by the simple necessities of OK
| istenco. The attendant phenomena are due TO
| the operation of natural laws. and the essential
| fncts connected with the subject are capable OF
| logical and satisfactory explanation.

The bill relating to claims for pensions by
dependent parents, which has just been re-
ported to the House with favorable recon-
incubation, extends the benefits of the pension
laws to certain parents now excluded from
their provisions. II simply removes the limita.
tion which bars those not actually dependent
at the time of the soldiers death, making
present dependence a legal basis for claim,
and in no other way changes, amends, or modi.
fes the pension laws. The committee on in
valid pensions says in regard to this bill 1.-THE
class to be affected cannot be large one and
while there is no data that we are aware of
upon which to base an estimate of the number,
1t cannot make a large addition to the pension
roll. The great mass Of parents who under
any rule as to period OF dependence could go
upon the pension roll are already there. This
bill brings to 1t that small number who, indie
pendent at the time of the soldier death, have
become dependent In their old age. 1t gives
them the benefit of the natural assumption
that the soldier son who gave his life TO the
country would have recognized his fillal obli-
cations had he lived, and been their staff in
old age and their shield against poverty"

Oliver Wendell Holmes, in 1.-THE Autocrst of
the breakfast Table" says that once he par.
took at night of about a quarter section of
mince pie. He got the dyspepsia, got out OF
sorts generally, and preached a series of most
gloomy sermons When his system had re-
covered its tone he took all those sermons, tied
them in bundle, labeled them Pie Crust and
put them away In a pigeon hole. The moral
Of this is obvious; that dyspepsia, indigestion,
and lack of tone IN the system affect not only
bodily but mental health: When the nerves
are out of gear they must be Draced up for fu'
ture work, II a man would have the "mens
sGaa n c9rp0re sano;" For this purpose moth
A man who uses this will always have his
mental machinery in running order, because
his bodily machinery is also In good condition.

the system, and is valuable addition TO the
modern pharmaGopGia. As such 1t finds
