DEBT OWED TO BIRDS.

In a recent lecture a government
scientist cited many facts to show
that birds are natures great check on
the excess of insects and that they
keep the balance between plant and
insect life. Ten thousand caterpil-
lars. it has been estimated, could de-
stroy every blade of grass on an acre
of cultivated ground. In thirty days
from the time it is Matched an ordi-
nary caterpillar increases 10000
times in bulk, and the food it lives
and grows on is vegetable. The in
sect population of a single cherry
tree infested with amphides was cal
culated by a prominent entomologist
no less than 10000, 600. The bird
population of cultivated country dis
tricts has been estimated at from
700 to 1000 per square mile. This
is small compared with the number
of insects, yet as each bird consumes
hundreds of insects every day the
latter are prevented from becoming
the scourge they would be but for
their feathered enemies.

A CEYLON FISHERY.

A Matter of Government Decree Bas-
ed Upon Examination and Valuation.
There are definite rules for deter
mining when a Ceylon fishery will be
held, for twice a year the banks are
Systematically examined by the ma
rine biologist, and estimates made
of the number Of oysters present on
each bank. Whenever their age and
size appear to warrant the step, a
sample catch of twenty thousand oy-
sters is made by divers employed by
the government, and a valuation is
formed of the pearls they produce.
If found to average ten or twelve
rupees to a thousand oysters, the
government is advised to proclaim a
fishery. Advertisements are then
published throughout the east, es7
pecially in vernacular papers reach
ing the Persian gulf and the two
coasts of South India, at the instance
of the colonial secretary's Office at
Colombo. These detail the valua-
ton of the sample pearls, area of
beds to be fished and the estimated
number of oysters likely to be avail
able upon each.
The advertisements are printed in
C~ingalese, Tamil and English, says
the Century Magazine. AS rapidly as
information can spread, it becomes
known from Karachi to Rangoon and
along the chain of sea ports of the
Malay states, that a fishery is to be
held. Divers, gem buyers, s~pecula-
tors, money lenders, petty merchants
and persons of devious occupations
make speedy arrangements for at
tending. Indian and Cingalese coolies
flock by the thousands to the coast
of the northern province, longing to
play ever humble roles in the great
game of chance. The '~tindals" and
divers provide boats and all essential
gear for the work afloat, while ashore

RECORDS OF
BIG TEAMS.
PrinCetOn's Football Eleven Has
1.-The Best of All The College
Teams Thus Far.

Yale's close call in the game on
Saturday with Brown affords Penn
~sylvania men some consolation, but
this feeling of satisfaction is offset
by the Harvard-Indian score. If the
Cambridge team was five points bet
ter than the Carlisle red men, who
beat Penn "a to 0, what would Har-
ward have done to Penn this year
had they met? For a number oil
years Harvard has been planning to
beat Pennsylvania good and hard and
then say goodbye, but the Quakers
manged to pull out ahead, making it
necessary for Harvard to play ''just
one more game to avoid the appear
ance of quitting. The changes in
football rules last winter and the un-
certainty of the game at Cambridge
was finally seized upon as an Gus
for dropping Penn and now Harvard
is probably sorry that one o game
was not played, for on the showing
of the two teams to date Pennsyl-
vania could hardly hope to win at
Cambridge next Saturday, the date
the game would have been scheduled
had it been played. Harvard has won
every game played so far this year,
having been scored on only twice
by Bates and Brownsville Penn
sylvania has lost two games, been
twice tied, besides being scored on
by two other teams, a total of 46
points having been made against the
M ..l D1,,o ,.;+l, +rra Af tho no rAQct
games of the season yet to come.
Judging on games played Princeton
seems to have the best team of all
the colleges this year. The Tigers
have had their goal line crossed but
once-by Cornell-which, with Buck
nell's field goal, makes nine points by
all opponents in ten games. Prince
ton has beaten among others Wash
ington and Jefferson, the Annapolis
Middies, Cornell, Dartmouth and
West Point. The final game with
Yale will be played at Princeton next
Saturday and it will be a great sur
prise if the Tigers do not win.
Yale has also beaten the West
Point cadets, but the New Haven
men were scored on, and but for al
legged r%oughouse fot tactics might
have been beaten.
Swarthmore was knocked out of
the list of undefeated football teams
Saturday, losing to the Middies 5 tC
4. Lafayette is still undefeated, al
though three times scored on and out
ranks Pennsylvania as we'll as
Swarthmore.
The rating of the big teams of the
east according to the seasons scores
should now be as follows: Princeton
Yale, Harvard, Cornell. Pennsylvania
can displace the Ithaca team by a vic
tory on Thanksgiving day, but not by
beating Michigan, for the western
team, with it's extremely short SEIZED
ule, has done nothing to place it il
the front ranks. To Minnesota uni
versity belong the western football
honors of the year by reason of Sat
urday's 4 to 2 victory over Chicago
Michigan does not play either Mime,
sofa or Chicago this year.
The record of the leading teams to
date is as follows:
