birds did not thrive, and in 1852 a
second importation was made. In
1854 and 1853 the sparrow was intro
duced at Portland, Me, and in the
| latter year at Peacedale, II. l., and a
few birds escaped at Boston, Mass.
During the next decade il was inn
ported direct from Europe to eight
other cities, and in one case 1000
birds were sent to Philadelphia in a
single lot; birds were also distrib-
uted from the colonies already start
ed in this country. BY 1870 il had
become established as far south as
/ Columbia, S. c.; Louisville, Ky, and
/ Galveston, Tex, and as far west as
/ st. Louis, Mo-, and Davenport, Ia,
and as far north as Montreal, Can,
/ thus gaining a foothold in 20 states,
the District of Columbia and two
provinces in Canada.
/ Between 1870 and 1850 it was esti-
mated that its range had been ex-
tended by nearly 10000 square miles,
and isolated colonies were established
at San Francisco Qs71-72) and Salt
! Lake City, Utah (1s73). During the
next five years it spread over more
than 100000 square miles. and in 1856
/ had become established in 35 states
and five territories, occupying prac-
/ tically all of the region east of the
\ Mississippi river Except portions of
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, as
well as parts of eight states in the
west. Its range was estimated to
cover 1,033,OO0 square miles, including
las, 900 square miles in Canada.
At recent date only three states
| (Montana, Nevada and Wyoming) and
three territories ALASKA, Arizona and
New Mexico) were apparently free
| from the sparrow. Its range extends
westward to the great plains and in
Colorado TO the Rocky mountains,
and also occupies considerable areas
in Utah and central California.
The true character of the bird is
now so well known that it is unneccs-
sary to dwell on its injuries to fruit
and grain. the nuisance it has become
in large cities and the extent to which
it has replaced native birds. The ILL
directed care and energy expended on
introducing and fostering it 30 years
ago are largely responsible for the
marvellous rapidity of its distribu-
ton. Now, when too late, efforts at
determination have been begun, and
four states Qllinois, Michigan, Ohio
and Utah) have offered bounties for
its destruction, the expenditures in
Illinois (1s91-1s95) and Michigan
(1ss7-1s95) amounting to about s117,-
500.
1t pays TO think before attempting
to introduce a new species of animal
life into country to which it is for
eign. BERNHARD BRISTOL

Thirds and animals have been car
ID ried from one continent TO an
other since man began travelling
from continent TO continent Many
species that were originally natives
only of the old world may to-day be
found in a wild state in not only the
Americas. but in countless islands Of
the sea as well. This transplanting
of animal species has resulted in
many ways, some of them peculiar.
Two or three species of rats and
the house mouse of Europe have thus
become widely dispersed over the
globe. Fruit vessels plying between
ports of the United States and Cen
trail or South America occasionally
bring snakes, small mammals and in
sects in punches of bananas. In No
vember, 1895, a Central American
mouse, of the genus Oryzomys, con-
cealed in bunch of bananas shipped
from Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, was
captured alive in a commission house
in Washington. ID. c. A young mu-
rine opossum from tropical America
was discovered in a bunch of bananas
at AiutS. ld-s uuEihS thS Suihhhti VI
1882 and was kept alive for some
time.
During the last Is or 20 years
Behring island, one of the Com
mander group in Behring sea, has
been overrun with the common Sibe-
rian red-backed mouse. This species
was formerly unknown on the is
lands, but has been introduced since
1870, probably in firewood brought
from Kamchatka. Within ten years
it spread all over the island, from the
beaches to the mountains in the in
terror. 1t occurs both in the swamps
and on the sand dunes, and has be-
come a pest in the huts of the ma
tives. In 1889 il was still confined TO
Rehring island, but will probably
reach Copper island in time.

come so numerous in some parts of

island of Guadalupe, off the Lower
California coast, are utilized as
ranges for goats. All these is
lands are dry and more or less COW
cred with brush, but aborescent
vegetation is comparatively scarce.
The goats practically run wild, and
already exist in considerable num-
bers. On Santa Catalina, one of the

ing is one of the diversions afforded
tourists. and is considered one OF the
principal attractions of this resort.
In this country no animal or bird
introduced from foreign lands has
done more damage than the common
English sparrow. This little pest IS
common bird of north central Eu-
rasia. 1t is said TO range as lar
north as latitude 81 degrees in Eu-
rope and TO latitude 81 degrees IN
Asia. The damage which il does IN
destroying fruit and grain, IN dlShg-
uring buildings in cities and towns
and in driving away other BIRDS
makes il one of the worst of the
feathered pests. The rapidity with
which il increases in a new locality
is scarcely more remarkable than the
persistency and care which have been
displayed in introducing it into for
eign lands, in spite of the warnings
of persons familiar with its habits. lt
has gained a foothold on all OF the
continents, and has been transported
to some of the most distant islands
in the Indian and Pacific oceans. In
North America il has not increased
very rapidly north of the transition
zone nor in the lower Austral, but
wherever il has become at all abun-
dant efforts to exterminate it have
been practically futile.

BEGINNING OF REVIVAL
Major Cole Commences His Series of
 Sermons.

It was under decidedly suspicious circumstances that the revival to be conducted by Major Cole, began Sun day evening in the First Methodist church. A great audience, of over q thousand people, the largest congrega- tion that has ever been in that church. crowded the auditorium to the doors. packing the aisles and testing the full est capacity of the church. The pro- gramme was opened with one-minutc addresses by the pastors of the va" rious churches which participated in the union services, and the chorus choir of the church rendered music. The The Reverend Messrs. Cowan, of the Methodist church; McAfee, of the Pres byterian; Rowland. of the South Meth odist; Halsey of the Baptist; Fish. of the Free Methodist. and Rice, of the Christian church, talked briefly and then Major Cole addressed the con gregation. His theme was "Get Right With God" and his short discourse was full of pointed facts, outlined in a manner that was very impressive. Ma jor Cole is not an eloquent lecturer, no rhetorical flowers nor skyward flights mark his manner. His style ss plain and emphatic, he strikes straight from the shoulder and practlcability takes the place of oratory.
 Previous to the main meeting. the Christian Endeavor and Epworth League societies held a union meeting at the Presbyterian church. Here the n IA zenship," and a chorus choir and q male quartette provided the music.
 Major Cole came here from Chicago, stopping in Nebraska and conducting series of revivals. He will remain here for at least a month. conducting services in the various churches. This morning there will be a service at 9:30 o'clock at the Presbyterian church, and in the evening at 7:30 o'clock, and it is probable that meetings will be held
