BIRDS SCARCE IN MARYLAND.

A Reasonable Explanation of the Fact
- That Sportsmen Have Ragged Few.
: Last years bird shooting season in
Maryland was a keen diappointment
to sportsmen, and their greatest
chagrin was caused by their failure to
find cartridges or quail where they had
been represented to be in abundance
before the season opened. Two reasons
may be alleged for the latter. The
frequent whistling of the birds in the
spring when they are about to mate is
not always a safe guide to the number
of coveys that will be found in Novem-
Der, and not sufficient Importance is at
tached to the disposition of the BIRDS TO
migrate. The weather, the temper
ature and other conditions may multi-
ply the calls of the birds to each other
in the spring and make them seem to
be more numerous than they really are.
The partridge, or quail, is more of
migratory bird than many imagine,
SAYS the Baltimore sun, and this Will
account for the mysterious disappear
ance of a number of coveys in Novem'
! Der which had beef seen in the latter
part of August or early part of Septem-
ber They often follow a river, NOV
ing down one side on the other, so that
covey may be in November many
miles from where it was seen in Sep
tember This is verified both by actual
observation and by the fact that large
numbers of birds turned out by clubs
in the spring will raise families and
disappear altogether from the spot
where they were released. 1t is sup
posed that they have moved south OF
the point where they were released, for
they seldom go north, and it has been
suggested as remedy that those wh0
take the trouble to preserve them dur
ing the winter should release them
some miles north of the spot where
they would like to have them locate.
The main cause of the scarcity o!
birds during the season just closed was
the severe winter of 1929. Not only
was there an immense amount of snow
but the cold was intense and froze TIT
small wafer courses tight. The BIRDS
if they can get water, can manage t.
; scratch u precarious living in the wood
or from under the snow in the fields
but they are unable to make Ugh
against starvation aal thirst at tn
same time After such winter sey
! eral moderate seasons are needed t
bring back the normal supply of birds
, The discontinaanee of wheat or SINAI
, grain crops has had the effect of driI
!, ing quite number OF birds from thei
usual hauats il search Of stubble field
. and this cause for their disappearing
is more likely TO increase than to d
minish.
There is one consolation to sport
men. The birds have been quite
n scarce In forner years, and have graz

At one time the duke of Wellington's
extreme popularity was rather embar-
RAISING. For instance, ON leaving home,
each day he was always intercepted by
an affectionate mob, who insisted on
hosting him on their shoulders and
asking where they should carry him.
1t was not always convenient for him
to say where he was going, so he used to
say: "Carry me home, carry me home"
and SO he used to be broughthome half
n dozen times a day few minutes after
leaving his own door.

KNOWLEDGE is NOT WISDOM.
Men of Great Learning Sometimes Lose
Sight of the Fact.


Sight of the Fact.
In the recent memoirs of Dean Buck
land an amusing picture is given of the
antipathy felt so years ago by the old
classical scholars at Oxford TO the new
scientific learning. They described it
as "mischievous and absurd" When
auckland once went to Rome for long
vacation, one Of the elder dons is said
to have exclaimed:
"Well, auckland has gone to Italy.
Thank heaven we shall hear no more
of his silly gcology!"
Learned men do not always appreci-
ate the achievements of their fellows.
IT is said that a friend brought Millions
paradise LOST to a great Scotch
mathematician, who remarked when
he had finished it:
ITS vera pretty; but, mon, what
does it provc?"
An American who stated recently in
a London club that he. was going to
Enfield in search of the grave of
Charles Lamb, was astonished to hear
him contemptuously described by an
English stateaman as 90 tlignty writer
or silly papers, III Whlch tnere was ITO
mention Of politica' questions of his
day"
Pagann while in England was
mentioned by a great jurist i'll a letter
rs "a poor fiddler who had driven the
town mad with his squcaks and
scrapcs,' and he, no doubt, would have
described his critic as soulIess and deaf
TO the highest expression of emotion.
An anecdotc is told of Henry Clay,
in the zenith of his popularity and
fame. Meeting an cid sehoolmate at
reception he expressed regret that
another friend, mutual acquaintance.
whose career promised 10 be brilliant,
had given up his life 20 the raising of
pigs and making n fortune. The friend
presently met the gentleman referred
TO. who exclaimed, with a shake of the
head:
poor Henry Clay! He might have
made n good stock grower, and be {.
comfortable planter now, if he had not
wasted his time in politics.
We are all vain of our own little field

wise man notes and finds lessons of
profit in the harvests of his neighbors'
fields as well as IN those of his own.-
