BIRD DAY Is SUGGESTED.
Secretary Morton Advocates 1t as a
School Holiday


An earnest plea is made by the Biological
Division OF the Agricultural Department
that bird day to be devoted to instructing
children in the value of our Lative birus,
and the best means OF protecting them,
may be added TO the school calendar.
The idea originated with Prof. C. A.
BabcocE, the superintendent of schuols in
Oil City. Pa, where IL has been in force
with gratifying results for several years.
The suggestion has received the cordial
approval OF Secretary Morton. who, in a
letter TO Prof. Babcock pays high tributes
TO the beauty and utility OF the featEered
tribe. One extract from the Secretary's
letter. which is herewith given, is es-
pecially interesting
Birds" says he, "are of iDestimable
value tomaDkind Without their unremittine
services our gardens and fields would lie
laid waste by insect pests. Bat We owe
them a greater debt even than this. for the
study of birds tends to develop some of the
best attributes and impulses of our natures.
AmoDgtherl we find examples Of generosity,
unselfish devotion of the love OF mott er for
offspring and other estinable qualities.
Their industry, patience, and ingenuity
excite our admiration. their songs inspire
us with love Of music ard rOeiry; their
beautiful riuinage and graceful manners
appeal to cur aesthetic sense: their long

inaginations and tempt us to inquire into
the causes Of these periudic movements. and
finally. the endless notifications Of form
and habit by which they are enabled TO
live Under most diverse Conditions Of food
and ciimate-on land and at sea-invite

fi~L!s of pleasUTeabia research

the Biological Division, in u circular on
this subject, sent out by the department,
after showing how different States have
expended large sums OF money in killing
birds which were supposed to be injurious.
but which were really OF inestimahle
value to farmers. asks il it were not well
to 90 something to protect the birds and
prevent their destruction before 1t Is
tco late. He thinks il it is unwise to
establish a day for study of birds. the
exercises OF Bird Day might be combined
with those of Al rbor Day.

PLENTY OF ENGINEERS.
Prof. Whitney Calls Attention to an
Evasive Government Excuse.

Prof. Whitney Calls Attention to an
Evasive Government Excuse.
Editor Times: The article in you even
ng issue headed, Lamont Blocks the
Way" presents rather comical state of
affairs in the United States.
We are told that the work on river
Ind haTbor impro vements will have to
ytop, as there are not enough government
hngineers to superintend 10th river and
harbor work and cost defense work.
Was the writer OF that article aware
Of the fact that two of the most i'm
portant divisions of the former work, viz,
the Mississippi River and the Missouri
River, are now directed by co commissions of
Engineers made up in part from the civil
engineers of the country? Why should not
all Of this work be similarly conducted?
In European countries, having large
military service, the civil engineers are,
to a far greater extent than in this
country, put in charge of internal i'm
provements.
Heretofore the United States has gener-
ously turned over this work to the army
engineers. in order TO keep them properly
occupied, DIS well as to make Il show of
economy.
And now just as the legitimate work
for military engineers is provided through
an appropriation by Congress. it is sug-
gested that our great internal improve
ments will have to wait until the more
urgent coast defenses are provided.
I submit that this is a comical aspect OF
affairs, when it is remembered that the
American Society of Civil Engineers coz
tains, among its two thousand members,
hundreds Of civil engineers competent to
plan and execute all works of river and
harbor Improvements within Uncle Sans
domains. n. o. WHITNEY.

PAVING THE ALLEY.

1t is gratifying to observe that the Com
missioners have begun the work of paving
the alleys of the city, and with vitrified
brick. too, the desirability of which i'm
provemeDt was pointed out by The Times
not long ago. This is work which notoni
makes the alleys more preseDtable, butts IN
the line of scientific sanitation. The me-
jonty of large cities alleys and courts are
lurking places of disease. The People who
for the most part dwell there are not, as
a rule, specially devoted to the observance
of the canons of cleanliness. nor careful
about the maintenance OF sanitary oonci-
tioDs, and it is incumbent upon municipal
authority, therefore, to step in as Iegu-
iator, so far as this is possible, not merely
on account of the residents OF tie alleys, but
in order to safeguard the health of the whole
community. The health authorities of nearly
all large cities are beginning to appreciate
this fact, and consequently great deal
more attention is now being paid to alley
sanitation than was the case only a few
years ago. Washington is no exception to
the general rule, although the unsanitary
condition of the alleys here has not teen,
and certainly is not now, as pronounced
and aggravated as elsewhere.
In TINS matter, as in u great many
others relating to municipal sanitation,
local authorities in the United States might
prOfitaDly learn from the example OF the
towns of Holland. Scrupulously clean
about their homes, the level-headed Dutch
burgbers also pay the strictest attention
to high way and byway. There is hardly
street, and not court ur an naiey-whereyer
such exist, their number constantly de-
creasing-through which a streamiet of
pure water does not INCREASINGLY flaw in
u capacious gutter. emptying into a fewer
opening of sufficient size to receive the
rubbish and debris that is swept into
the gutter by the dweifers in these places.
In consequence of this simple. yet most
effective sanitary precaution, zymodc
diseases are most rare in the towns of
Holland, and no nauseating smells offend
the nostriis. nor disgusting dirt meets tie
eyes of the visitors to them. The system,
of course is not at all expensive.
In paving or repaying the alleys OF
Washington, some innovation ike this, it
would seem, might easily be introduced.
The only possible obstacle in the way of
it at the present time would be the
scarcity of our water supply, but as this
presumably will be remedied within the
next two or three years, the construction
or reconstruction of the alleys might be
carried forward in such a manner as TO
make them all ready for the purifying
streamlet whenever the city gets water
enough to stand SO useful a waste Of it.
\ hydrant placed in each alley from which
the water should flow inoesSantly would
not only serve the designated purpose,
but also give the residents there all they
need for domestic use. In this way
great public benefit would be secured nd
the classes that most need it furnished
with an abundant supply of good water,
free of cost, while the expense TO the city
would be comparatively trifliIg.
