 The English sparrow and his friends wont be pleased when they hear what Professor s. "A. Forbes, State Entomol- ogist for Illinois, says about him. Pro- lessor Forbes has devoted more than thirtyyears to the study of birds, and is said to know more about them than any other man in the world. He declares that the indictment against the English sparrow was properly taken and the bird should be destroyed. He is now telling the farmers institute of each county in his State the results of his observations, and his discoveries are attracting much attention. He has killed in all 10000 birds, justifying his action by the knowledge that a scien- tifc investigation of what birds ate would save the lives of multitudes of their kind.
 During the last year MT. Forbes took a census of farm in order to deter mine about how many birds existed to the acre, He was surprised to find that the average was less than three-about 2,S, to be exact. A total of fifty-four kinds of birds was recognized, although there are supposed to be more than 300 species common to Illinois. The esti- mate was 1,267 birds to each square mile. In dividing the birds seen while this census was being taken it develop ed that fl per cent. were blackblrds, 19 per cent. English sparrows, Il per cent. cow birds, 1 per cent. meadow larks. 8 per cent. mourning doves, 2 1-2 per cent. robins, ? per cent. brown thrushes and 2 per cent. horned larks. Four per cent. of the birds, following an analysis of the stomachs, were found to be purely useful; 1-2 per cent. de- cidedly useful and per cent moder- ately useful, while 55 per cent. were of rather doubtful utility. Nineteen per cent, the English sparrows, were found to be decidedly injurious.
 Profess5r Forbes favors the destruc- tion of the English sparrow which he brands as the outlaw" bird He be- Iieves that the only efficacious method of destruction is b destroy the eggs as rapidly as they are laid.

At last he left his earthly e;
Good Games for Bod Children.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier: It is so delicate and proper that it is enough to become "elated over" to learn that our bad boys who are Under the probation officers care" should be giv- en free tickets to see the ethical game of football. The game has an admit tedly refining influence upon the eul- tured and will, no doubt, refine bad boys.
 I would suggest that the bad girls, if there be any, be taken to the next meeting of the Associated Societies for Civic Betterment. I believe to breathe the air of these uplifters will, even if the girls don't understand their talk, improve them more than football will the boys. know the girls will just love these altruistic meetings, they are so humorous and interesting, and they will try to be bad just to go again, but they will never get the chance, for they will become so good that they can not be bad.
 The boys will, no doubt be some what elevated by the culture and re- finement seen at the Yale Arena, but I don't think it will improve them so much that they will not be bad enough to go again, but hope that they won't t be bad enough to be given tickets to football games, and if they are not quite bad enough for a football game I would suggest that if they are just a little bad bull fight be got up for them

The electrolytic extraction of gold from sea water is still dream of many European chemists. A. Nodon proposes to use as electrodes sheets of copper and lead, or lead and cast iron, each about one-twenty-ffth of an inch in thickness, and to surround these plates with porous canvas bags for collecting the gold that fails to adhere. The baths, within reach of the tide would have a depth of two metres and a width of ten metres (about thirty-three feet). With cement partitions every forty metres, a battery of one hundred such baths could be run together, and it is calculated that this would furnish 15O grams of gold per day of twelve hours
 In this time 5000 cubic metres of water would be treated, a current of 5000

The portion of a conservative Cali fornia newspaper on the question of Japanese in the public schools is well indicated by the following comment from the Sacramento Union: We can see no reason why the Japanese or oth- CT unwelcome race should have the right to invade the schools which our people maintain for their own purposes Under our system, our schools, while they are styled public schools, are strictly subject to such regulations as may be made for them by those by whom they are maintained The pro- test against mixed schools, is, in the judgment of the Union, well founded and entirely justifiable. Our schools are maintained for the training of our own children, not as agencies for the Americanization of foreign and alien races which have no natural or possible part in our civilization.

The pIscontented Man.

He wooed and won a pretty girl
 With hair of shining gold; She loved him with a loyalty
 Quite touching to behold, But other peoples wives he used
 Approvingly to scan, And growl and grumble at his own
 The oiscontented man. His business prospered every day,
 Another store he leased; He bought a house and motor car,
 His bank account increased, But still he wore a gloomy race
 While Jones is in the van My trade is going back" exclaimed
 The discontented man. His children in and out of school
 Were well behaved and bright ; They reached the head of every class
 And studied day and night. Tt didn't take me half so long
 To learn what I began l wasn't such dunce,' complained
 The discontented man. He went abroad, and viewed unmovet
 The Rhine's majestic flow, The snowy splendor of the Alps,
 The matchless lakes below. T want to get a steamer home As quickly as can; There's nothing here worth seeing, cried
 The discontented man. At last he left his earthly cares
 To mount the starry skies And knock upon the pearly gates That lead to Paradise; And though to fling the portals wide St. Peter nimbly ran, You're long enough about it, said The discontented man.

A serious attempt is being made to bring back into cultivation a large tract of land in the south of Portugal. Some energetic men in the district of Serpa, iii combination with the municipal au- thorities, have set to work on 100000 acres, dividing it up into allotments of fifteen acres each, and letting 1t at a nominal rent, free of local rates and taxes for ten years. A heterogeneous mixture of settlers has already taken possession of the tenements. Carpen= ters, masons, doctors, chemists, bar bers, seamstresses, tailors and even beggars figure in the list.
