INDIVIDUALITY OF BIRDS.
Viewing Traits Are Constantly Seen
and ExDresseA I'm Striking
Manner.

In studying different birds Of tho
same species individual traits are con-
stantly seen and expressed In strong
relief. The greatest differences seem
10 lie in the relative development Of
their serse Of fear, writes Francis H.
Herrick in "The Wild Bird by New
Approach" in Century. In one wren
family the male never fed the young
and the female never became very
tame. What a different state of af-
fairs was found at another wren's nest
studied earlier in the summer! After
the removal of this nest it was fully
forty-five minutes before the young got
1norsel to eat; but after the first
visit the victory was won, and the hen.
If not the cock bird, became very tame.
During the preliminary interval of gus
pense the male sang chcerfully. but
the female was at the nest and stump
many times before venturing inside.
Five minutes after her timidity had
been finally overcome the male was
also on the stump, where he eat with
dropping wings and gave his alarm;
thence he few to tree, then to the
ridgepole Of the tent. where he sang
merrily. while the young were fed by
his mate. The male sang all the morn
ing. until noon, and after silence
began again at o'clock. On the CON
trary, al the first nest the male was
never seen and seldom IL ever heard;
the timiditJ of the female was never
completely overcome.

SCOPE OF THE CENSUS.
It IL Much More Comprehensive FL
the United States Than In
Other Countries.

There is wide difference between the
scope of the word census" in the United
States and in other countries. The
American census is an invaluable ma
tional account of stock" costing the
American people, in 1900. $l1 1854 ,S17.9l
and embracing extended inquiries con-
corning population, mortality, agricult-
ure and manufactures. Each of these
topics is considered legitimate part OF
census investigation, and receives equal
care and consideration, says w. r. Mer-
RAM, in "The Census in Foreign Coun-
tries" in Century. In most other CEN
sustaining countries the census is much
less comprehensive, being generally
confined to an enumeration Of popula-
ton by sex, age, nativity. conjugal con-
dition, occupation, ETC., together with.
in some cases, details concerning num-
Der and kind of dwellings.
In Europe. up to 1901, only five coun-
tries-France, Hungary, Germany, Den
mark and Belgium-had taken indus
trial censuses; and these, although In
GLIDING some valuable data not secured
in the United States, were much less
comprehensive than our census Of man.
ufactures In France and Hungary moth
ing more was undertaken than the col
lection of Information relating to the
occupation and personal condition OF
employers and employees. The German
industrial census paid but little atten-
ton to the personal condition Of en-
ployes, but called for a detailed state
ment of the kind of establishment, and
the motive power and machinery used
The Danish census was, in the main
similar to the German, but omitted ma
chinery, and asked for the wages paid to
employees, classified by kind Of work
| done. The most detailed and compre-
hensive of European Industrial censuses
is the one taken by Belgium in 1896
This, like the French and Hungarian
censuses, comprises detailed informa-
ton regarding the occupation and per.
sonal condition of employees, and in ad.
dition called for the hours of labor and
periods of rest, the wages and methot
of payment, the kind Of products. and
