WILD LIFE OBSERVATION.
Few Persons Can Describe Accurately
What They See in the
Creatures.

Good observers are probably about as
rare as good poets, says John Burroughs,
in ION Humanizing the Animals" in
Century. Accurate seeing-an eye that
takes in the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth-how rare indeed it is!
So few persons know or can tell exactly
what they see; so few persons can draw
a right inference from an observed fact:
so few persons can keep from reading
their own thoughts and preconception
into what they see; only person with
the scientific habit of mind can be trust
ed to report things as they are. Most Of
US in observing the wild life about us.
see more or see less of the truth We
see less when our minds are DULL. or
preoccupied, or blunted by want of in
terest. This is true of most country peo-
pie. We see more when we read the lives
of the wild creatures about lis in the
light Of our human experience, and i'm
pute to the birds and beasts human mo-
tives and methods. This is too often
true of the eager city man or woman who
sallies out into the country to study ma
ture.
The tendency to sentimentalize nature
has in our time, largely taken the place
of the old tendency to demonize and
spiritize it. 1t is anthropomorphism in
another form, less fraught with evil to
us, but equally in the way of clear
understanding of the life about us.

Congressman Baker of New
York has a keen sense of justice.
He has mede five efforts to hitch
onto appropriation bills a pro
vision to reimburse the railroad
of the country for the amount
they have expended in dead
heading the President and his
suite. The republicans do not
appreciate Mr., Bakers liberal
ity. In fact, they seem to resent
it. They probably think that a
frequent railroad train is a prop
er perquisite of the executive
office.
