Senator Martin SAYS.

Senator Martin in speaking of the change
in the Topeka post Office said:
ssThe talk about the change being made
as slap against fusion in all bosh; politics
did not particularly enter into it at all. The
cause in a nutshell is that Postmaster
Thomas threw the responsibility of the
change in the letter carriers department on to
the postmaster general, when he ought to
have shouldered it himself.
"The postmaster general promished me
when left Washington that before any
change should be made here he would in
form me of it, but as yet have not heard
from him."

OUR WINTER BIRDS.

EDITOR CALEDoNIAN:-Permit me
to call the attention Of your readers
to the hocks of beautiful birds seen
this winter about our village and
vicinity. | refer to the pine grosbeak,
Pinicola enucleator, zone who shells
out" The bird gets its name from
its food, and the way it is obtained.
The birds live in hocks and usually
frequent the thick woods and feed on
the seeds found in the pine cones. The
bill is large and stout to enable it to
peel off the sections of the cones and
to shell out" the seeds which lie at
the base.
The pine grosbeak is, to a large
extent, resident of North America
Forth of the United States, and nests
in the forests of Labrador. In winter
it migrates south as far as New
England, and in some winters it is
found here in large numbers, evident
ly driven south by the severe cold of
the north.
The birds are more abundant here
than usual this winter-heeing before
the terrible storms and cold waves
which have been sweeping down
from the north along the Atlantic
coast. They are here feeding on the
dried crab apples which remain on
the trees in our gardens.
| enjoyed greatly standing under
one OF those trees the other day and
watching flock that were so busy
eating the apples, that if they noticed
me they seemed to say, Come on
and look at us all you choose, we
are going to have these apples any
way, and Of course you will not
harm u.s." "Of course | will not"
was my reply, so we were friends at
| olSC. hSlS was Tue duull male,
plump and hearty fellow, with head
shoulders and breast of carmine red
or rose color, wholly unconscious o
his commanding form and beauty
He was full of talk to the younger
male birds, who had as vet only &
slight intimation of the color the,
were to have after the second moult
ing (the males do not get their fin,
color until they are two or tire,
years old) and to his femalecompan
ions, seeming to say, MAKE haste t.
eat all you can, for we must get OF
to the woods before dark to find /,
warm place for the night"
All the females can boast of 70
beauty is their perfect form ant
smooth ashy-gray color, tinged witt
greenish-yellow. Yet in some speci
mems the crown and rump are quit
brlcky-red. 1t is said by traveller
to the far north that the male bir
has fine song in the nesting season
but with us, in the winter, they a
are social, but altering only one wore
and that is very soft twitter o
chirp.

WELL WORTH SEEING.
Some Things that win Repay Careful
Study and Investigation.

1t is not given to everybody to be
"up" in all the details Of natural his
tory. Not to every ear are the
sounds involved in the pronunciation
of scientific names musical or agree
able. But everybody should be more
interested in these things, for the
simple reason that all about US,
even in our Immediate vicinity, exist
many wonderful things in this very
realm OF natural history that need
but little coaxlng by the inqulsltlve
mind to become surprisingly plain
and delightfully."- instructive
Among the recent additions to the
Museum, from the establishment OF
Prof. Ward at Rochester, n. Y, Is Il
handsome collection Of rocks, includ-
ing specimens ranging from the
Archaan age to the Quaternary.
This interesting lot has been secured
for practical, educational purposes
not only to be looked at and adj
mired through the glass doors OF the
cabinet, but to be taken i'll hand
separately and studied. Showing as
they do the curious formations
throughout so many periods OF the
worlds existence, these bits OF rock
will prove very companlonabIe to
the student of geology, and it IS
hoped that pupils OF the Academy
and of the Union schools as well will
avail themselves OF this splendid OPP
portunity for object lessons in an
important branch Of study. The
specimens are conveniently arranged
and labeled, and occupy prominent
place on the east side OF the gallery.
In addition to that decidedly strik-
ing cast of the huge GIyptodon, men
toned in the CALEDoNIAN two weeks
ago, the "ncw things at the Mu-
scum include also many other fine
specimens in the department OF
paleontology, which should chain
the students attention and interest
even the Casual observer" Here
will be found casts of the ichthyo-
saurus, the legalosaurus, the
iguanodon and other mammoth
animals of far-back period, repre-
sented On a scale Of one inch to the
foot casts also of many fossils, and
a whole cabinet full Of queer things
both in the original and in cast.
