Yale and Princeton, ana of Harvard,
PENNSYLVANIA and Cornell. Both have ac-

Since the English sparrow is evidently
here to stay, 1t is gratifying to learn from
close observers in other parts of the ooun-
try that either the bird is losing some of
its pugnocity after a few years residence
here, or the other birds are learning that
the sparrow's bark is worse than its
bite" Stories are told of towns where a
few years ago the quarrelsome immigrant
had driven out oil the native songstcrs
but where these have now returned and
are living in the same groves with the in
truders in apparent harmony. The
qucerest instance reported is of neigh
borhood where the bluejays brought the
sparrows to subsection by hiding in
thickets and initiating the notes of n
hawk, afterwards coming out into the
open with the same cry, which continued
to prove effective.
