A day or two afterward two boys
brought to my office the white robin,
dead. One of the local papers had said
that an a1bino robin might be sold to q
museum, and accused the boys Of hav-
ing killed the bird on the chance of SELL
ing. This they stoutly denied. saying
that they found 1t dead. I took or the
skin for the purpose of mounting it and
found that the boys had been telling
the truth. for there was no sign of an
injury. The poor robin was very thin
and its stomach was almost empty, ex-
cept for the remains Of one bug. I
wondered IL the parents had grown
tired OF feeding it. found also that
the reason 1t flew so poorly was because
its eyes were defective and that it must
have been almost blind Had its parents
fed it until the time Of the fall migra-
ton southwark the white robin could
not have gone with the rest and must
have starved. The robin was entirely
white, with pink eyes. q pinky-w white
beak and pinksh legs.
Albinism. by the way, is caused by
the lack of pigment, or coloring matter.

On the New Jersey shore, in the local.
ity of the ballast wharf. near Kaighn's
Point there are acres of made land. the
product of all the countries under the
civilized and uncivilized world Within
the last few weeks upward of 1000 tons
of earth taken on board as ballast by
ships at Hamburg were discharged at
Philadelphia, and from Greenock, Scot
land, came 1000 tons of soil as ballast
on board the British ship Arrow, which
loaded case oil and sailed for Japan last
week. From Cape Town, South Africa.
came 600 tons of earth ballast on board
the Norwegian ship Morning Light. and
all was used for hllinG-in purposes along
the river front.
Wherever these ships from foreign
lands are discharging ballast can at all
times be seen persons anxiOusly scour-
ing the output of the holds in search of
peculiar specimens of vegetable matter
and other curios. To carry such cargoes
means heavy pecuniary loss for YES
sells, as they not only have to pay to get
it on board in foreign countries. but to
get clear of it here costs from 25 to IS
cents a ton. In order to avoid this ex-
pense, vessels not infreQuently charter
to carry out chalk cargoes at such rates
as six shillings a ton.a figure that mere
ly pays the expense of loading and dis
charging.
In these days of depression in ship
ping freights any foreign exile in Amer
lea who is yearning for a sight of the
native land can see it without the trou-
BILE and expense Of an ocean voyage,
because hardly q day passes that some
ship is not discharging foreign soil at
this port. All that is necessary is to go
down on some of the wharves along the
city front where ballast is discharged.
In the early days of American history
the positions were the reverse of what
they are today. The trade was then all
in favor of Great Britain. In those
times Scotland sent ship loads of ma
chinery to America, and the ballast. in
the shape of stone and earth, was then
shipped to instead of from Europe In
view of this, the assertion that Europe
is getting smaller and that the con-
tfnent's loss is Americas gain may not

The White Robin.
IFron SD. NICHOLAS. j

From ST. Methodist
In the summer Of 1900 some friends of
mine came to me with a story Of a
strange white bird that had been seen
several times among the trees of small
grove in southern Ohio, the state in
which my home county is. Finally an
other friend told me that he had seen a
pair of robins feeding it, and between
US we agreed that 1t must be a white
robin-an a1binO.
An albino among men is a person
whose skin and hair are unna turally
white Among birds and animals an al
bino is one which is white, differing
from others of its species A bird or
animal the normal color of which is
white or which changes to white feath-
ers or fur for winter is not an albino.
The perfect albino has pink eyes and
no color about it. The white robin
saw was a perfect a1bino.
The rest of the brood of which the
albino was one had scattered and were
looking out for themselves, but the
parent birds were still feeding their
white Hedging. The other birds In the
grove took a great deal of interest in
the strange inhabitant, especially the
purple grackles. AS the white robin
sat on bough the grackles would perch
near it, looking at it with their heads
turned shrewedly to one side or hopping
from place to place as though to get a
better view. All the time they kept up
| ject of their curiosity, clucking and
| chuckling away at a great rate.
The white robin did not hunt for food
for itself, although it was fully OLD
| enough to do SO, but depended on its
parents. When it few it did so awk-
! wardly and blunderingly, and generally
seemed to prefer staying in one place
