THE OWL AND JAY.
One n Devil by Night and the other
n VeritabIe scOundreI in Feathers

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mr.. Frank Bolles. who was a friend 10
the birds and a close student Of their
ways. has left US in his sketches legacy
OF value and profit in his close observation
OF his feathered friends. He has given US
many an estimate of their qualities. and
viewed with his eyes. they more or less
resemble humans. He made an especial
study OF the owl and nc depicts the bird
in his Bird Traits In none too glowing col
ors.
The owl reminds me-" says Mr.. Bodies,
of some men whom / have had the mis-
fortune to knOw-silent and sinister by day
or when exposed to the scrutiny OF their
fellows; taking without reply or blow the
taunts and abuse Of those whom they have
wronged; but by night devils In thought,
purpose and action. To the owl every
thing which possesses the power OF mo-
ton is. presumably, ut to be devoured;
quadruped, bird, fish. reptile. insect, mol
lusk, any or all, unless specially project
ed. invited to murder: so with some men
nothing is too pure. too beautiful too de-
fenceless to be sacrificed 10 their selfish
ness. one owl Is enough Tor many Iniles
Of forest. Fortunately for society, owlish
men are similarly scarce"
Continuing his discussion Of the birds
Of less attractive character. Mr.. Bolles
thus speaks or the jay:
There are some birds Of deservedly bad
repute who wear an attractive exterior
and maintain jaunty manners. The blue
jay, for instance, though somewhat 1ashy
In his dress and proud in his voice. passes
with the unsuspecting as a bird worthy
OF confidence, If not Of admiration. Yet, II
there ever was a scoundrel in feathers, he
Is one. He is my ideal pick-pOcket shop
litter smuggler and confidence man. Most
people think his cousin, the crow, an un-
doubted villain; yet he IS considerably
better off in morals than his gaily dressed
relative. This is not saying that the crow
is not blackleg"

playing tho piece entirely too fast,

that piece replied Mascagni, and
then he played tho intermezzo for

organ grinder in front of his house
with placard on the organ on which
was inscribed In large letters:

Sponges.

Certain sponges (cliona) bore into
shells, especially those of the oyster,
finally causing them to crumble to
pieces. On the American coast Gil
ona sulphurea not only destroys the
shells of oysters, mussels and seal
lops, but has even been known to
penetrate one or two inches into hard
marble. It has been uncertain
whether this effect is mechanical or
due to the solvent effect of some
acid, but NJ. Latellier has lately
shown tho French academy that a
purely mechanical action suffices.
