A Bird Garden.
rom the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
bird garden is rather a novel idea. but
one which II faithfully exploited will prove
as real delight as any garden Of BIOS
SONS. An enthusiast on the subject has set
apart a spot perhaps an acres extent as
forbidden ground for cats and small boys.
and the birds have become very tame. Ber-
muda grass, whose matted tangies are a
harbor for bugs or worms. covers the
ground. Hydrants are left dripping where
the many kinds Of feathered folk that this
garden has attracted may drink and battle
to their hearts content. There is an abund-
ance of seeds and fruit, which mature at
different seasons. and old logs under which
congregate the fat grube that are a BIRDS
delight. II these natural stores seem to
run short at any time. sunfiower seed and
crisp lettuce hearts are spread on a stand
called the birds banquet board" that none
may want. Strings. threads and fluffy cot
ton are strewn about for nesting time. and
as many as twenty different species have
been counted building or rearing their
young at one time Thirty-four varieties
frequent this Garden Of Eden, and their
sweet notes and bright plumage make 1t
as charming as any conservatory Of rare
blossoms.

An Aid to Telegraphy.
From the Scientific American.


The wear and tear on the telegraph oper-
ator's nerves are said 70 % particularly So
we're on account of sthe great number of
signals which he must sehd in the course
of few hours work. and also because
of the great rapidity with which he must
work. AS is well known. the various sig
mails are made by a combination Of the
dot and dash. the letter TIP" for instance.
requiring five dots and che letter "b" a
dash and three dots. With the telegraph
key now in use, in Sending the five dots
indicating a p" the operator must depress
and release his key fge times and thus it
messages in the ordinary pursuit of his
work the operator IT, compelled to make
one hundred and eighty Thousand depres-
siOns and the same Number of relaxations
in the course Of eighei hours work, during
which time he would ss5hd about fifteen
thousand words. Itf>wilfs readily be seen
that the work Is exceedingly trying on the
nerves. -
Much Of this labor has been avoided by
the use Of new invention. recently patent
