my highest ambition to get U. Pc

of grabbing for everything in sight,
but alas, your light weight would
not permit you to land IN anything.
However, U. Peter, do not dis.

their trust in the protection of i'm
mobility and assimilation of outline
to the contour of the ground is al
most limitless. The writer has
seen a hen pheasant crouohed un-
der a single mangold root, and
waiting there until a settlers nose
touched its feathers, and he has
caught partridges with the hand

until they had sank below the sur

striking instances of the very
strong, and, as it would appear, in

to do this. Yet, there is little
doubt that in the case of partridges
and pheasants it is in part an ac-

population Of more than 100000.
By the census taken in night, as
the slow English take a census, the
city of the administrative county

five years. Greater London, how
ever, has a population Of G,167 ,692,

years, larger actual gain, though
a smaller percentage of gain, than
that of Greater New York. Thus

YOUNG WILD BIRDS.

outdoor naturalist in the spring,
when they are singing, pairing and
Duilding their nests, and again in
,utulnn when on their migration,
that in the midsummer months
they are often less carefully OBJ
served. At the present time most
Of the broods of the year are
Matched and Aedged, and the young
If the species which nest in the
British Islands are learning to get
their own living among the inn
mense supplies of food which the
summer season brings. The habits
Of young birds at this season Of ed
ucation and growth are not less in
teresting than when they are ma
ture. But the thickness of the foil
age on the trees, the high vegeta-
ton of the cultivated land, and the
natural tendency of the young
birds to keep quiet and still, make
the study Of them matter of some
difficulty. In the hedgerows and
by the woodsides unfamiliar notes
and calls of birds are constantly
heard-the notes of young birds,
which cannot be identified owing
to the thickness Of the foliage. and
though in the large woods the cry
Of the young sparrow-hawks and
the flight Of the pigeons and wood
peckers betray their presence, it is
almost impossible to watch them
or to ascertain their way of procur-
ing food.
Probably most Of the larger spo-
cies are fed by the old birds long
after they leave the nest Of game
birds, young partridges are the
most self-reliant. and young pleas
ants the least sble to take care of
themselves. The present writer
has never seen young quaiIs; but
as those coveys which are Matched
in England often number as many
birds as the quail usually lay eggs,
it may be presumed that these, the
smallest of the game birds, are not
less active and precocious than the
young Of the partridge. The latter
are almost as active upon land as
young wild ducks are upon water.
They run swiftly and without hes
itation, even among thick vegeta-
ton, when they are no bigger than
a wren, and follow or precede their
mother through mowing-grass,
hedgerows, or the sides Of furze
breaks and copses seeking and
catching insects all the while, and
neither losing themselves nor be-
tr4ying their whereabouts by I'M
necessary noise or excursions.
Young pheasants, on the other
hand, are constantly getting separ-
ated from the brood and getting
lost, when they put up their heads
and squeak dolefully, attracting
the attention Of enemies, furred or
teathered, to their helpless condi-
ton. If chased, small pheasant
pokes its head under cover and
waits to be caught.
Under similar circu stances the
Young chicks Of another ground
feedin5 bird, the peewit, would
"squa" the moment any enemy
appeared in sight, and remain still
as a stone until he was gone. This
suggests the very interesting ques-
ton why the young partridge or
pheasant Gin the down"-that is,

AMUSE N ENTS.


Edson's wonderful Nitascope, about
which so much has been said and
written, with a choice selection of liv-
ing views will be seen at Meonian hall
four nights and Thanksgiving matinee
commencing Monday. Nov. %. 1t is
claimed that the "Wizard's" latest
marvel far eclipses all of his previous
efforts in electrical science. What the
monograph does for the ear, the Vita
scope does for the eye. With photo
graphic accuracy every detail OF like
ness, motion and color can be repro
duced by this wonderful machine. The
historian of the future will not be able
to satisfy his readers by mere word
pictures, but will be called upon to re-
produce everything but the material OF
the actual scenes.
The camera records the view. the
monograph bottles up the sound, the
Vitascope preserves the action for
future use.

Exciting Much Attention.

The case of the State officials against

fall, is exciting great interest through

and all sorts of statements have been
flying about. The Journal saw Presi-

corning the case. He said: A.
