A paper was recently read before the
biological society Of Washington, the
subject Of which was the food Of birds.
So much has been said about birds be.
ing destructive 10 fruit and vegetation
that an investigation Of this kind is Of
the utmost Importance. In the stom.
achs Of some OF the birds there were
thousands Of ants. Over six hundred
stomachs were examined, and in al.
most all Of them insects formed the
greater part Of the contents. Ants es.
pecially seem to- be popular, and in al.
most every instance the other insects
were Of harmful Sorts In one Of the
reports Of the agricultural department
II Is said that each bird has Its favorite
foods, but when these fail 1t casts about
to find something that can be substi'
tuted. Another peculiar fact disoov.
cred in birdology and the appetite Of
our winged friends for ants, is that
these industrious little insects plant
colonies Of mealy bugs on certain va.
rieties Of the coffee-tree. These bugs
are cultivated by the ants for their
food, and as they flourish and increase
rapidly, they furnish abundance Of
subsistence. and the ants thrive CORE
spondlngly. 1t Ia suggested by a num-
Der OF scientists that the woodpecker
should be encouraged and protected in
every possible way, as many circum.
stances seem TO indicate that he would
be the very best assistant in getting
rid of the grubs that are destroying
the elm-trees all over the country. N,

More people speak English than any
other language now In use in the
civilized world, and the increase in the
use Of English Is SO rapid that 1t may
ultimately outstrip all the European
languages collectively At the begin.
