The Wild Birds of Europe.
From the Pail Mall aazette.


If 1t We're not for the climates sake birds
of passage would do well never to cross the
Alps. In Germany, in Switzerland, in
northern Europe generally, they are more
or less protected by the laws, but as soon
as they have reached the Latin races their
slaughter begins. Ticino awaits their COM
ing with net, snare and gun, and the war
Of devastation spreads from Italian Switz-
erland to Italy. From south Italy 1t be-
gins again in the spring, and in this pro-
mis- cuous massacre it is noticed that of all
our feathered favorites the lark, the night
ingale, the swallow and the thrush suffer
most. The Berlin Society for the Protection
of Wild Birds has fought for many years
against the evil, and while other countries
have been legislating for the birds at home,
this body has sought to attack the mis-
chief in Italy, its very heart and center.
Some years ago a petition was addressed
to Queen MargheritG asking for her pity
an0 protection In behalf of the bird emf
grants. and to the queen of Italy such a
prayer would not be addressed in vain.
But the italian peasant cannot be reached
by these means. The same society in Ber-
lin proposes now to try religious pressure
and has petftioned the pope to the same
effect. His holiness Is implored to move
the clergy throughout Italy to speak in the
carse of the birds, and to urge them 10y
doctrine and by reproof to stop this wanton
slaughter. The poor Italian is himself an
exile in all lands. He should feel some
touch of pity for his fellow wanderer, the
guest of many nations.

Signs That Betoken Another EruptIou
of Hawaifs Lofty Volcano.


For the first time in fourteen years smoke
may be seen rising from the summit of the
lofty volcano Of Mauna Loa, on the Island
OF Hawaii, and experts say that this is A
sure sign Of an eruption and disastrous
flow of lava down the mountain side. With
IN the last few years many valuable coffee
plantations have been developed around the
base of the mountain. and the planters are
alarmed over the prospect of a lava stream
which may ruin their property. Since tho
last great eruption in 1854. when the lava
stream came down within two mics OF
Hilo, the volcano has been dead.
Drs. Guppy and Friedlander two German
scientists. have recently made a study Of
Mauna Loa's craters. They say that
kilaleas activity has ceased altogether
during the last fortnight, and only a thin
blush vapor is rising. In the meantime
steam is pouring from the crater.
All previous flows of lava from Manua
Loa have burst through the sides of tho
mountain at an elevation of from 10000 to
12.UW feet. Without warning a stream of
lava breaks a rent in the mountain side and
flows down into the fertile valleys. carrying
death and destruction with IT. Kilauea is
the crater inside of Mauna Loa at an ele-
walton of 1000 feet. The fact that its re-

bad omen, for the old natives say this
means violent eruption of the loftier
crater near the summit.
