SPARROW TAUGHT TO SING.
Bird Raised with Canaries Soon
Learned to Initiate the
Warblers.

A series of interesting experiments
In which English sparrows have been
taught 10 sing sweetly is recorded by
DR.. Conrad says the American Jour.
nal of Psychology. The aim of the
experimenter has been to determine
what are the conditions under which
birds learn and cling to their trads-
tional notes. For this purpose he has
taken very young birds of non-musicai
species and kept them entirely with
songsters, to determine whether they
would thus acquire the musical notes.
In July 1898, he put four fielding
English sparrows into the nest Of
pair of singing canaries Three OF
them died. tut the fourth survived.
This one had already acquired a
sparrow chirp but, hearing thence
forth only the notes of the canary,
he went no further with the language
which was his birthright. Instead, he
came gradually. when among the

All this while his voice had been

The Olympian games for 1906 at
Athens have been concluded and the
American athletes have been returned
yictors, winning first place in the to-
tai of events and holding the worlds
championship. The outcome OF the
competition shows that the American
athletes scored a total of 75ia points,
3b points more than double that
achieved by all the contestants from
England and her four dependencies.
Lacking points, the United States
trebled the record made by Greek
athletes on their native soil and
trebed the showing of Sweden, minus
Az points. Great Britain got a total
of Sc points, Greece 271a and Sweden
20.
There are many interesting phases
of the American success at Athens
In the first place, to send a team 10
Greece with the limited number or
men who must necessarily travel such
