We reached the banks of the Repub-

ture animals which is exhibited by the
influences that have modified species
into fitness for their environment, are
facts which must never be lost sight
of, for If we forget them our attempts
to understand the history of the prop
critics of living things are certain to
mislead us and to end in failure"
Accepting these conclusions 1t is evil
dent that if we of the north allow our
boys to rob birds nests under the plea
of making collections, cultivate the cat
to aid in the work of robbing nests,
and in other ways make life more dam
gerous for the fiedglings, the race Of
birds is doomed-or If not, that the
races of those who come forth each
summer will be destroyed, while those
which acquire the habit of building in
some safer locality will anew illustrate
the principle of the survival of the fit
test. and so other lands will enjoy
what we wantonly have thrown away.

MIGRATIoNs on BIRDS.

AS throwing light on the birds mi
grations, Prof. Brooks, in a late num-
Der OF the Popular Science Monthly"
cites the case of the salmon and other
| fishes At the time the salmon leaves
the ocean for the breeding ground, per-
haps thousand miles inland it is in
! physical perfection, with few rivals in
| beauty, strength, courage and of fierce
energy. But when it reaches its jour-
| ney's end it is worn and thin, torn and
mangled by battle, battered by rocks
and whirlpools, its skin in rags, its fins
| crippled and bleeding. it's whole body
bruised and emaciated so that, in the
| Columbia river, where this species of
| fish has been so abundant, there is good
authority for the statement that not a
| single one ever returns alive from the
breeding grounds in the headwaters of
the st. Cloud. The whole race is wiped
out, utterly exterminated, as soon as il
arrives al maturity. The whole object
and end of the beautifully co-ordinated
body is rapid and total destruction
all, in word which makes of the sal
mon our ideal of lordly fish--is worth
nothing as compared with the welfare
of generations yet unborn.
Reasoning from this analogy. Prof.
Brooks argues that the long fights Of
the birds north each spring is for a
like purpose, and concludes: 1.-THE safe
guards which nature throws around
eggs and infants and immature, and
the indifference to the fate Of the ma

Through the grace Of Joe and Jim Dele

his position fairly well. Allentown was

The Lonuon Saturday Review" said
last week: The lesson OF all our con.
hicts with America was that the Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors shot markedly
better than our own and won astonish-
ing victories. II looks as IL the old les
son holds good to-day"
This reads singularly like the opinion
given OF the American gunner eighty
1--WE years ago. October 10. 1873 during
the war of 1872. the London Times said:
1.-THE fact seems TO be but too clearly es-
tablished that the Americans have some
superior mode OF firing and we cannot be
too anxiously employed in discovering 20
what circumstance that superiority Is
owing"
These two tributes 10 the skill or
American gunners from English critics
and separated by the best part OF a
century are well deserved. The FIRST
was a compulsory tribute. exactad from
an enemy. who was suffering 10 pride
and property from the superiority Of the
American. The second tribute Is a
hearty commentator given freely and
without artifice.
Both tributes have been amply earned.

closed. to search out neglected graves
and bring them into the greenness and
freshness OF remembrance to rear monu-
ments to Confederate valor and TO keep
their deeds aglow in song and in story.

ing the good work their hands have been
so long and SO willingly performing.
Already quite sum of money has been
subscribed. and IL the various Confederate
organizations will call the women OF the

and united effort, all the money needed
will be quickly raised and the Battle
