Fast Ships Kill Parrots.

According to the accounts of the deal.
ers in wild animals, the domestic gray
parrot is likely in course of time to be-
come a rare bird in this country. The
effect will not be felt Immediately, be-
cause the parrot. as is well known, is q
bird OF very long life Those that we
have now, therefore. will be with us fol
long while still; but very few FRESH
ones are being imported.
The reason is singular and paradox
cal one, namely, that the time spent or
the voyage is so short in comparison
with what it used to occupy in the ole
sailing days that the parrots do not be-
come acclimatizcd by degrees rs they
once did, and the mortality among tnen
is so great, In consequence, that 1t Is not
worth while importing them.
A possible eXpedent might be TO give
them a halfway house at the Canary
Islands, and perhaps another a. Ma
their way from the west coast OF AFRICA.
