HAVE CROWS A LANouAoE2
Many Curious Facts That Go to Justify
the Theory.

Many Curious Facts That Go to Justify
the Theory.
There Is some reason for calling an
owl the bird Of wisdom; and yet there
is cause for wondering If the crow is
not mentally his superior. Crows are
not disheartened by the gloom Of late
autumn. If the fog is too dense to
fly through it, they rise above 1t or
trot about the ground, discussing the
situation with their fellows. Is this
speaking too positively? I have long
been familiar with an observing man
who has lived all his days within sight
and hearing of crows. He claims to
understand their language, and can
repeat the words" that make up their
vocabulary. Certainly crows seem to
talk; but do they? Does a certain
sound made by them have always the
one Significance? Year after year l
have listened and watched, watched
and listened, and wondered IL my
friend was right. He believes it.
believe it-almost. Are there limita
tons to ornithological Interpretation?
And is this On instance where truth
is unattainable?
We know that crows are cunning and
by their mother wit have withstoOd the
prosecutions of mankind; we know
that they have n wide range Of ut
terances, and not one is put forth
merely to crafty the ear, as in the
case of a thrush's song; yet we hesitate
to say plainly that crow talketh unto
crow and that they take counsel to-
gether There Is no physical or meta
physical reason why this should not
be the case; there is abundance evil
dence pointing in that direction, but
no actual demonstration, satisfying
everyone, has taken place.
Were we less theory-ridden and more
observant, the question would have
been settled before this. In such q
case the opinion Of the farmer is worth
more than that of a professional orni-
biologist. -Lippincott's Magazine.

Roman Remnins in London.

AS result of the extensive e1cava-
lions which have recently been made
in London Wall, says a London spe-
cial in the Paris Messenger, several
Roman coins were brought to light.
They consist of two specimens of An
toninus Plus Second BRASS who died
in A. D. 1G1; one Trajan (also sec
ond BRASS, who hourished about the
same time; Postumus first BRASS, who
was assassinated about the year A.
d. 2O8, and a Vespasian Second BRASS,
the date of which would be between
the years A. d. 20 and 70.
1t is an interesting fact that a large
number of the coins Of Postumus were
evidently restruc6. as they still retain
on their surfaces some traces Of the
efIigies Of preceding rulers, a circum-
stance which is believed by numus-
matists to show that he hastily re-
stamped with his own portrait a part
Of the current coin Of the empire.

Hence The distribution Of sexes IS not

The superabundance of women has

should be such n situation at the Ma

England q special local agency has
been at work-an influx of factory

Women Hunters.

Among the hunters who journey
yearly to the Adirondacl5s are many
women. When the sportsman now
takes a trip to his hunting box his
wife accompanies him, and she han
dies her rifle with an accuracy Of aim
that commands the admiration Of the
guides.
That the modern Dianas will con-
tinue to participate in this form Of
sport Is beyond question, as the WON
en- have in many instances proved
themselves to be as fine shots as the
men and as able to endure the fatigue
of a days hunting in the wilds.
Women used to enjoy trips in boats
ut night after deer This mode OF
hunting is called jacking, and the ia
vorite method was to paddle quietly
s8long the lake or It's inlet in a canoe
with Just one bright light shining at
the bow Of the boat.
Deer. especially. possess n vast
amount Of curiosity, and any startling
