The Damage This Pest Does to the Ag'
rIouItural Interests.
Whatever doubt in regard to the wholly
Injurious habits of the English sparrow,
Passer domestica, may have remained In
the minds of the farmers and gardeners, il
must now be dispeled, when the mass Of
facts are fully known WHICH have bceh
collected by the Department of Agricul-
ture, and published IL the report OF 1856,
recently distributed.
The information on this subject in the
possession of the Department was ob-
tanned in answer to circulars which il had
distributed in all parts of the country.
Thirty-two hundred replies have been TO.
Ceived.
The ravages of the English sparrow af.
feet almost every crop produced 10y the
farmer, fruit grower aud truCk-g gardener,
and extend over the entire year. Indeed,
it is safe to say thai IL now eXerts Il more
marked effect upon the agricultural inter
est of this country than any other species
of bird; and its Unprecedented increase anC
spread, taken in connection with the CX-
tent of its ravages in certain districts, may
be regarded with grave apprehension. In
the early spring il prevents the growth OF
vast quantity of fruit Dy eating the
germs from the fruit buds of trees, bushes
and vines, of which the peach, pear, plum,
cherry, apple, apricot current and grape
suffer most.
But it is not only the buds, but the fruit
itself, which is eaten, or mutlated s. Is to
make it worthless.
Detailed accounts arc given Of its de-
stroying lettuce, peas, beets, radishes cab
bages, cauliilONcr, blackberries, rasp
berries. Strawberries grapes, tomatoes,
plums, peaches, pears, and apples, 1t APP
pears to be particularly destructive To
grapes.
The report recommends TO the legisla
tive bodies of the various States and Ter
litories the immediate repeal of all exist
ing laws which afford protection 10 the
English sparrow, and the enactment OF
laws legalizing ,Ae killing of the
English sparrow at all seasons OF
the year, and the dest action of its
nests, eggs and young, and other legisla-
ton providing for the destruction OF the
birds by persons appointed for the pur.
pose.

Ancient Before Modern.

There is a Japanese proverb which
says ITO learn the new. search the
old" and in many instances there is
more truth than poetry in the asser-
ton. The telephone has been looked
upon as strictly modern invention,
bat statement has recently been
made 10y traveller in India that the
instrument has been used by the
priests of that country for over >, coo
years. The telephone of India lacks
the improvements and perfection of
the telephone of America. neither have
they any system of general COM
munication. Ii is confined entirely TO
the temples and employed only by the
high caste people. Its very existence
is kept secret to general travellers in
that country, rs it has been for the
1000 years it has lived In some of
the temples are the remains of worm
eaten transmitters and wooden con-
duits, which arc at least several
hundred years old. Tho priests claim
that the system has been i'm existence
since the creation, and laugh at the
idea of its being applied in America
only within the last few years. If these
statements are true. who then was the
real inventor of tho telephone' If it
began with the creation. it must either
have been given TO the world by the
Divine power. or we owe its existence
TO the inventive genius of father Adam.
