ABOUT THE BIRDS.
Said to be Plentiest in the Polar Regions.

The article on "Bird Foraging" in a
recent number of Littell's Living Age
is very readable, coming as it does when
our birds are now back here again, the
robin, looking SO sleek and plump that
one wonders where he has spent the
winter, and how he knew that it would
be safe to return a good two weeks ear
lier than usual this year. 1t is the lack
of food that cold weather brings not
the cold itself that drives the birds south
ward in the winter, and the fact that
food is plenty brings them back again.
The getting of food is the chief object of
a birds life. The article goes ON to say:
In the countries bordering on the
Polar seas, where the changing seasons
bring alternately the two extremes of
dearth and plenty, birds are more nu--
merous in the short summer than any
where else all the world over and in win
ter absent altogether. All are MIGRANTS
there by force of circumstances. In
like manner the birds of temperate eli
mates are affected by the seasonal
changes, though in less degree, indirectly
through the influence of cold and heat
upon their food supplies rather than by
erect OF cold upon their we'll protected
bodies. A coat of mail is not to be COM
pared to coat Of feathers for safety so
far as bird life is concerned. Layer
upon layer of feathers can withstand
any amount of water oc any degree of
cold; in proof of this, see how the DELI
cate tern, after wintering in compare
lively mild weather, go back to the ice
foes of the Polar Sea, and lay their eggs
on the bare ice. For two or three weeks
the tender breast of the .-sea swallow is
pressed against a cold block of ice
Again, as another example of the infu-
ence of food rather than climate in gov
erning bird action, take the colony of
beccafcos. The beccafco is Medlter-
ranean bird common on the southern
shores of Spain and Italy, in the Grecian
Islands, Sicily aud Malta, and on the
northern shores of Africa. Formerly
it was quite unknown in the British
Isles, but some years ago large orchard
of fig trees was planted near Brighton
and the beccafcos have discovered the
fact and come over to share the spoil
Dou btless the nightingales told them the
story of English figs and showed them
the way over Be this as it may, the
little birds from the warm shores OF the
Mediterranean bid fair to become estab-
lished as naturalized British subjects.

A KICK AT CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

A KICK AT CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
A large majority of the Democratic
representatives voted to strike out the
appropriation for the civil service COM
mission. They did not put themselves
on record, however. They will have a
chance later to do that, and it is perfect
ly safe to predict that they will not i'm
prove it. The Democrats do not love the
civil service law, because it interferes
with their looting of the offices. They
would like to see it wiped off the statute
book, and if it could be done without a
yea and nay vote they would wipe it off.
But though they do not like the law be-
cause it hampe rs them in redeeming
their promises to cold-toed constituents,
they are aware of the fact that the great
majority of the voters are not Office
seekers, have no interest in the offices
except to see them filled with honest
and competent men, and approve of the
civil service law because it tends to
produce that result. They seek there
fore to defeat the law by indirection.
They want to kill it but dom want to
be held responsible for killing it. The
method OF killing it by Withholding an
appropriation is not new one. 1t has
been tried before. but this is the first
time we believe that it has secured a
majority even in committee of the whole.
The inference is not, however, that
civil service reform has lost any Of it's
popularity with the people in general. 1t
means simply that the Democratic Con-
gressemen have had an unusually hard
time getting their henchmen appoint
ed to Office; it means that the civil service
commission has been doing its duty so
well that heads of executive departments
have not dared to discharge employees
merely for the sake of making places
for Democrats; it means that the reform
has taken SO strong a hold upon the
public that the President has not dared
to cause anything like general removal
of Republican Office holders, but has
been compelled by public sentiment to
allow them to serve out their terms. If
the reform were feeble and puny thing
nobody would have opposed the appro-
priation. 1t has been vigorously kicked
simply because it has become very
serious obstacle in the path of the spoils-
men. it has grown to amount to some
thing, and that is why the spoilsmen
hate it so.

Peary's New Effort to Reach the North
Pole.

Pole.
Peary follows in the tracks and after the
methods of his first expedition. during
which, second to cross the inland ice of
Greenland, he travelled fro.c his station at
Mccormick Bay to independence Bay, 81
degrees 81 minutes north, "a degrees min
utes west, on the east coast of Greenland.
The termination of the inland ice, a nd the
separation of Greenland from the land to
the northward, which was discovered by my
own expedition, caused Peary to fail in his
acknowledged attempt to exceed the far
thest north reached by Lockwood and Brai-
nard, May Is, 1882.
Peary has been wintering in northwestern
Greenland on the shores of Inglefield Gulf,
above the seventy-seventh parallel. among
the Etah Eskimos. He contemplated a very
early start about the middle of March, and
doubtless is at this very time making the
comparatively easy journey over the smooth
road afforded by the inland ice to Cape In
dependence 1t will then become necessary
for him, with selected party, to take to the
sea ice, where his methods of travelling
must conform to those of his predecessors.
While the main party under Peary is en-
deavoring to outline the coast to the north
latitude of Lockwood and Brainard, the
supporting party will return southwark, a.
long the east coast, to the neighborhood of
Cape Bismark and Mount Peterman, of
Koldeway's expedition, whence it will re-
turn direct across Greenland to Inglefield
Gulf. A steam whaler going northward
this summer will there await the return of
the whole party, and bring them back to ST..
I'll. NJ L.,
from, at the end of August, 1888, Peary,
and his wife and party, were comfortably
housed in their Greenland encampment,
with a winters supply of walrus meat al
ready in stock for their canine companions.
The chances of success for Pearyprimarily
depend on his ability to accumulate large
food at supply Cape independence for his adj
vance party-men and dogs-or on the very
problematical chance of securing an abund-
ant supply of game. 1t will be recalled that
Peary lost three-fourths of his dogs in his
previous journey to this point in 1891, and
few besides experienced Arctic travellers
realize how near his party approached dis
aster, for it was only the supply of musk
oxen killed unexpectedly at his farthest,
that secured his safe reteat.
Experience will do much to facilitate
Peary's travel, and it is to be expected that
he will be able to trace considerable por-
ton of the unknown coast between Cape
Independence and Cape Bismark, to the
doubtful if he ever passes beyond the farth..
est charted on his map, ninety miles beyond
his point of 1891, and this would carry him him
almost directly to the east. The chances
are about one in ten that he reaches tbe
eighty.third parallel. Tromso or Hammer.
festsshould he reached early in.7October
