BIRD SONGS.
20 Hear Them Truly Requires an Ear
Particularly Attuned.
New York, May 3, 1898.


Particularly Attuned.
John Burroughs writes for The Century
an article on the "Songs Of American
Birds. - Mr.. Burroughs says:
1 suspect IL requires a special gift OF
grace to enable one to hear the bird songs.
Some new power must be added to tho ear
or some obstruction removed. There are
not only scales upon our eyes 20 that we
do not see; there are scales upon our ears
SO that we do not hear. A city woman
who had spent much of her time in the
country once asked well known ornithol-
ogist to take her where she could hear the
bluebird. "What, never heard the blue
birdf" said he. 81 have not" said the
woman. "Then you will never hear It,,
said the bird lover-that Is, never hear IL
with that inward ear that gives beauty
and meaning TO the note. He could prob
ably have taken her In a few minutes
where she could have heard the call or
MARBLE of the bluebird, but 1t would have
fallen upon unresponsive ears-upon ears
that were not sensitized by love for the
birds or associations with them.
Bird songs are not music, properly
speaking, but only suggestions of music.
A great many people whose attention
would be quickly arrested by the same
volume of sound made by musical In
strument or by any artificial means never
hear them at all. The sound of n boy s
penny whistle there in the grove or the
meadow would separate itself more from
the background of nature and be q greater
challenge to the ear than Is the strain of
the thrush or the song of the sparrow
There Is something elusive, indefinite,
neutral, about bird songs that makes them
strike obliquely, as 1t were, upon the ear,
and we are very apt to miss them. They
are part of nature, and nature lies about
US, entirely occupied with her own affairs
and quite regardless OF our presence.
Hence IL Is with bird songs as It Is with SC
many other things in nature-they are
what we make them. The ear that hears
them must be half creative.
I am always disturbed when persons not
| especially observant of birds ask me tt
| take them where they can hear some par
! ticular bird the song of which they have
| become Interested In through descrip
| ton of &c In some book. AS listen will
them feel like apologizing for the birt
| lit has q bad cold or has just heard SOM
| depressing news; 10 will not let Itself out
| The song seems so casual and minor wheI
| You make dead set at IL. i have takel
persons to hear the hermit thrush, and
have fancied that they were all the tim
saving TO themselves, "Is that allY" Blu
when one hears the bird In bis walk, whe
the mind Is attuned to simple things IN
Is open and receptive, when expectation
not aroused and the song comes as a SUI
prise out of the dusky silence of tho woods
one feels that 1t merits all the 1ne thing
that can be said of It..

Copper Circular.

An exceptionally firm market was
maintained throughout the past month
Active legitimate demand, coincident
with further shrinkage OF supplies, and
the otherwise excellent statistical posi-
lion OF the metal had the effect oil raising
both New York and London market
values to the highest level recorded in
years. There was large business done,
and although free selling at II cents by
q leading Lake interest was persevered
,infor some time, pevertheless tue up
yard course OF the market was not
checked thereby.
All the copper offered at those figures
vas readily absorbed, after which other
nroducers obtained 12A for deliveries in
Nav and June. This price has since been
repeatedly declined for similar deliveries,
while Lake copper for prompt delivery,
3 ing in limited supply, sold as high az

out between the United States and Spain

msstic consumers have been very busy,
and the home consumption OF copper.
lately. has been unusually large and on
greatly expanded scale. rs
Europe keeps upa constant demand
for copper. where consumption goes on
at an enormous rate, and this country 10
expected to supply thsgreat bulk OF what
is needed. AZ an article OF comment
copper ranks OF great importanee. Ex-
ports Of this metal from the United
States, during the past two yearr,
amounted in value to more than $62,-
100000, and yet the trade is carried on
with the smallest reserve OF foreign
stocks known. With European visible
copper supplies reduced to the equivalent
OF only a few weeks requirements at the
most. the urgency OF frequent and heavy
shipments from this country 10 palpable.
The consumption OF copper in England
and France for the first three months OF
this year is estimated at 67,23S,OSO
pounds, and that Of Germany Tor the first
two months at 2l,963,200 pounds.
This is at the rate of fully 100000, 900
pounds consumption per annum for the
three countries named. Such a tremen-
dour European demand, in conjunction
with the growing domestic consumption,
indicates the degree OF pre- sure that will
fall upon American copper mines to fur
nish an output even partially adequate
to meet the present gigantic transatlan-
tic requirements, ia addition TO the home

ONE MAN KILLED.
Fatal Result Of An Attempt To Break Up
Injecting in Chicago.

Chicago Nov 29-An attempt to
break up the annual meeting of the
Eighteenth Ward Republican Club, at
Bricklayers' Hall. this evening, re-
suited in the killing of Charles Latti-
mer, bricklayer. one of the attack
ing parties, and the wounding of the
following: William Mahoney, police
man, shot in both arms and in the side,
recover; John w. Landers. laborer, fin
ger shot off; John Prince, janitor OF the
building, shot in leg, not serious.
The club held its annual election to-
night, and there was much rivalry be-
tween factions headed by Coroner
Berz and John Rodgers, an eX-member
of the city council, over the offices. The
Rodgers supporters decided to visit
Bricklayers Hall where the regular
convention was to meet, and demand
representation. A large crowd accord
lngly marched to Bricklayers' Hall.
The greater number remained out
side, but several entered the hail.
The members of the Berz faction in the
hall and the two police officers who
We're stationed at the door assert that
the Rodgers men came noisily up the
stairs, having reVOlVers in their hands.
Officer Mahoney commanded them to
halt. but they paid no attention to him,
and Just as t.ey reached the door some
one fired a shot. Instantly pistols were
drawn on every side and the firing was
promiseuous. Coroner Berz was one
Of the first to fire. Almost at the first
Shot Lattimer threw up his hands and
rolled down the stairway, dead. His
companions soon fed down the stair
way. Rodgers crowd say that Lat
timer knocked on the door and de-
manded admission. He attempted to
force his way in, was shot down and
the fight followed wagonload Of
officers was quickly at the door of the
hall. Details We're sent after the fly
ing members Of the Rodgers party. but
up to midnight none had been caught.
Janitor Prince was arrested, charged
with conniving at the attack When it
was found that he was wounded, he was
sent home. After the excitement had
died down. the Berz men were called
to order and elected the club officers
