every quarter OF the small village'
and seemed at times to coma from the
mountains at tho back OF tho village,
fully quarter OF n mile away.
} Mr.. Bowdler Sharpe tells US that
one day in early spring, when In a
wood near Mongeron, Franco, his ear
was arrested by loud and not I'M
musical cry like that OF tltmouse.
As the sound appeared to be close to
where he was standing. he searched
all the trees In the immediate
neighborhood, but could find no bird
OF the TIT family. At length, however,
he discovered II at the notes we're pro-
duced by a creeper which was busily
engaged in search OF insectfood on a
tree some ten yards away. The cry,
he states. was ventriloquial, sometimes
appearing to be uttered close at hand
and sometimes at n distance.
Whether or not the corncrake Is
gifted with the power OF ventriloquy,
we DO not know. but we we'll remember
how frequently In our bird-nestinR
days we were deluded by this bird.
Steadily making our way along some
hedge-side, we would be suddenly
startled by the "Crake, cralte" of the
landrail, seemingly close at hand.
With "cautious steps and slow" we
would make our way through the long
grass toward tho spot whence the
sound proceeded, when, as though the
bird were gifted with the power OF in
visible flight. 1t would DO transported
to spot some hundred yards aw ay.
Toward this we would cautiously
proceed; but just when we APP
peared to be within fow ct

grass stirring, and apparently without
pause, the monotonous 'Crake,
crake" would be heard at n still far
Their distance. AS we think OF 1t now
we can distinctly recall the "haunted
feeling we experienced as we stood In
the meadow Ut was evening" listening
to the landrail's notes. which seemed
TO swell and die away almost to an
echo, as does peal Of bells on fitful
breeze, and we are strongly inclined tc
think that the cause OF the sound ap'
pearing TO emanate from SO many
points almost Mt the same time is due
TO veptriloquial power with which
the bird is probably endowed. Th'

The professional lawn-tennis player,
