Mr. Wfchell says that the difficulty he
has found I'm fathoming the mysteries of
bird talk have been due to the fact that
some very pleasant sounds are often incl

Another interesting fact that has been
brought 10 light By this revival OF interest
In the bird world Is that the use Of bad
language IS not at all unusual among
them. In the case OF many OF the animals
the variations Of the facial expression is
SUFFICIENT to enable the observer TO under
stand the nature Of the sounds that are
made The suarl OF the dog, or the similar
sound on the part Of the cat may easily
be understood as an expression OF hat

wav the difference between the snort
ing and the whnnying Of the horse Is
not difficult to comprehend.
In the case Of the birds. however, there
are no such clear lines TO separate the
sounds OF approval and disapproval and
one must be a close student in order to be
able 10 distinguish between them. For
some time past Mr. Charles a. Witchell
has been making observations upon this
subject and the result OF his experir' It's

requirements has more than once led TO

new POSSESSION IN LADROKE.
THE YOSEMITE SOON TO SAIL
FOR GUAM.
Carrying Governor General Leary
and His Garrison OF Marines
for the Island.

NEW YORK, April lit is expected
that the converted cruiser Yosemite,
which is to carry the Governor General
of Guam, Captain Richard P. Leary'
U. S. N. and his garrison of marines
to the Ladrones, will sail within the
next few days.
She will go by the way of Suez. Cap
tain Leary is now in Baltimore. A sulle
of apartments has been especially htteo
up for him ON the berth deck OF the
ship aft. The furniture and other ap-
pointments are luxurious and the rooms
are known as the Governor section.
They are finished in California red
wood, highly polished.
Besides the Governor General and MS
official family, the Yosemite Will carry
a garrison of 125 marines under MAJOR
A C. Kilton She will also have brass
band of ten men, which is to give con-
certs in front of the Governors palace
The Government will use the two puilu-
ings in Agano which the Spanish on
cials occupied. The palace will be GOV
ernor Learys residence, and building
known as the Quadrangle" will house
the garrison of marines
Governor Ieary will rule over lO,OsU
inhabitants of Guam which is practl-
cally the only inhabited island OF the
Iadrones Of these 2,OO0 are foreign
and the other natives and mixture OF
Spanish and Malay blood.
The Yosemite is to remain at Guam
for some time Captain Ide is ordered
to make a survey of the island and re-
port as TO the harbors. The only har-
bor now known is Apri Bay, about hVe
miles from Agano. There is village
of forty five houses on the hill anu
back of the bay.
The Government has allowed Captain
Ie:ary $50, 900 to maintain his establish
ment as Governor. 1t is desired To
make an impression on the people Oh
Guam of the wealth and strength OF
the nation under whose flag they are
to live Captain Leary takes with MIN
on the Yosemite a pretty little steam
launch.
The Yosemite is loaded with other
stores In her hold is a distilling plant
which will insure pure water to the
American garrison on the island. LAght
summer furniture for the palace anu
quadrangle is also in her cargo. She
is to take on more stores in the navy
yard before she sails.

to be found in life such as he is repre-
sented in the melodrama- He is the

likes to chatter. Supposing we accept
the project of NJ. LIE Breton, and that
all the waste is thrown pellmell into
the closed wagon of the administration,
how could the employe, even the most
honest, who has the sorting of the rub
bish, know what comes from any par
ticular house, since everything will, SO
to speak, have been thrown into the
''fosse commune?" Every step in sci
enee seems determined to deprive us of
one of the picturesque features of the
gay city, The Municipal Council will
certainly reflect before suppressing the

who parades his lantern over the sleep
ing capital in search of his daily bread.
