AMERICAN BREED OF CANARIES
Efforts of Fanciers to Adapt Birds to the
Climate of the United States.

The famous Hartz Mountain canaries
have an American rival whose develop
ment is the result of peculiar conditions
here. Something in this cline seems to
affect the voices of the imported Ty
rolean singers. Even the famous Cam
panini and the st. Andreasberg cana
ries, which are trained to perfection
abroad, are unable to transmit their
great singing powers to their offspring.
The American winters seem to affect
their Voices, SO that the old Birds often
lose their sweetest qualities. Some eli
matte change chills and destroys the
foreign singers.
We have to import new birds ev-
cry year to keep up the strain said

this, of course. is expensive and de-
structive to our best interests. We want

kee Tie climate around milwaukee,
may not be the same as that of rho
Hartz mountains, the great home of
the canary, but it has some peculiar
quality that is beneficial to the birds.
In this respect at least it resembles the
home of the imported songsters. This
has been discovered by breeders and
fanciers after years of careful eyper-
ment. The result is that the best strains
of canaries have been bred around Mil
waukee for years, and we can announce
that we haVe the new American breed
of canaries. They are really the best
strains of Hartz mountain canares i'm
ported here and crossed with some of
the ilardier English breeds. They have
been reared in Milwaukee for several
years, and they represent a type of
canary that is much harder than any
imported from abroad.
First, they have the same general
appearance of the best German cana
ries, with the delicate coloting of their
feathers accentuated and improved.
Second, they have all the peculiar yod-
ling quality in their voices tina. has
made the imported singer famous. And
third, they have a hardness of body
that enables them to pass our winters
without suffering. and their voices new
err become affected on the seacoast by
the strong air. i. is a we'll known fact
among bird fanciers that the voices
of canaries are affected by our strong,
salty seaboard air just as much as
many human singers. Throat troubles
are as common among canarieS as
among men and women. Time and
again we have to send our best canaries
to the mountains or inland Districts to
recover from throat troubles. 1t is far
more difficult to keep good canary sing
in New York than in Denver or the
Adirondacks. 1t has been the purpose
of breeders to rear up a race of canaries
that would have voices suited to our
climate. and this they have succeeded in
doing The new American breed of ca
naries is as perfect in it's way as are
the best imported German birds.
THE female birds are carefully train
ed in voice in cages in dark rooms
until their singing is perfect. There
are many breeding establishments
around Milwaukee where the training
of the voices is carried on with as much
skill as abroad. The young can1ries
are kept away from all corrupting in
huences. They are not allowed 30 near

and sent to New York all of 1000 tons
in II months These three counties
marketed $50, 600 tons in the ensuing 10
years, but during the 10 years follow
ing that decade they sent out more than
100000 tons. AT the end of 80 years
they had taken out of the mines and
sold %, 900, 900 tons. AT the beginning of
the civil war there had been but SO,0O0,-
600 tons removed from the original de-
post, leaving in the big pile under
ground something like what a mouse
hole in cheese would be in COMPARE
son. But with the coming of the war
anthracite began to boom, and in 10
years 20,00O,000 tons more were mined
and sold than had been handled in all
the 40 preceding years of the trade.
Since then the value of anthracite coal
has been so generally recognized that
at the close of business in 1898 the de-
post had been reduced by not less
than 100000, 900 tons.
Just imagine a diagram to repre-
sent the 13,000,0 900. 900 tons that we start

900 0G0 tons each, or one twenty sixth
of the whole. Two of these lots or
squares in the diagram would show the
hole we have been Is years in digging
in the pile. so that you can see what
there is left for future requirements.
According to that, it looks as If poster

are "a sections left. which, say, at IS
years apiece, would carry anthracite
fuel along for LOO years to come. But.

Everybody knows, or ought to know,
that there is no anthracite coal worth

boundaries of the anthracite coal area
are defined with such mathematical

in 1920. and, the market demand being

New York, March 2S.-The tailor
made gown has lost its simplicity. Its
upper portion consists in a large ma
jority of instances of an Elton jacket,
not quite the same old jacket, because it
exposes THE waist nearly always and
yet is below the line in front; it also has
large revers and bell sleeves. 1t is easy
to imagine the scope this little open
fronted coat gives it's wearer in the di-
rection of fancy fronts and becoming
neckwear. Wristbands and also belts
are in THE display. AS for the cloth
skirts to wear with them their shapes
and trimmings are of a bewildering va
riety. We shall give in a week or two
illustrations of five or six of the lead
ing shapes.
Spring Jackets to wear with any
skirt have one very novel feature, the
closed neckband and high harng col
lar. This seems a mistagc for spring
and summer wear, but the fact remains.
In the case of tailor made gowns with
coats, these last are very short and the
collar in the nandsomer ones is high
and f1aring at the sides and back but
in front has the usual coat revers.
There are, of course, many cloth suits
whose jackets have the usual turn
down coat collar, but as in our illus
tration, a novel effect is striven for
and plaid is used for the coat and plain
for the skirt.
Lace appears everywhere this spring
on waists and coats, as well as on
eli irfS N1If NV
dykes of lace or circular rows. The
old lace shawls are being used for even
ing wear, and will appear on summer
toilettes. The front of the shawl hangs
down the front of the skirt. 1t is fitted
around the waist by small darts and
the two corners fall in graceful folds
al the back.
Pale Colors.
My readers must beware of investing
in dark hues this spring, for only the
palest grays, tabacs, mauves, fawns
and mastics are well worn. Black, of
course, is now. as always, an exception
to this rule, and some of the very
smartest gowns are being built of a pc
cularly fine make of black cloth with
a very "satiny" face. One example had
