WHEN cHlPMUNks SING.
They vocalize in Spring at Rate of
1870 Chirps a Minute.

iSO STufpS q Mtnutcs
The chipmunk is not usually consid-
cred much of a songbird. but according
to Ernest Thompson Seton he is quite
a success In a vocal role.
In Manitoba the chipmunk comes
above ground about the first or second
week of April. says Mr.. Seton in Sue
cess. Mounted on some log or root.
1t reiterates a loud chirpy "cluck
cluckcluck!" Other chipmunks run
forth into the sunlight and. seeking
some perch. add their "chack-chuck-
chuck" to the spring salute. They are
active from this time of the year on,
and their sunny morning chorus Is not
by any means confined to that origial
outburst. On April %. 1906. at Cos
Cob. heard a chipmunk in full song.
He kept 1t up for eleven minutes with
out ceasing and uttered 100 chirps to
the minute. He got no reply. though
he worked very hard and seemed tired
towardthe last. On May IS, 1905. at
Cos Cob, I heard a chipmunk singing.
He kept II up for three minutes. utter
ing three chirps to the second.

J glasses in the parks of Indianapolis
To these patrons of the open-ail
, theater snake, ordinarily sufficien
cause for Mysteries, is forgotten. Tn.
habits of birds seldom disturbed ar,
amusing to witness. Their loyemak
ing is all done in the open and tbs
opera glasses are kept busy follow
ing the varied movements of tn,
feathered songsters.
Another use for opera glasses dur
ing visit to the parks is to find tbs
source of the croaking of the frog
This sound, unusual to the ears o.
persons who usually satisfy them
selves with hearing the rumble o.
street cars and the honk honk of au
tomobile horns. causes .iem to turr
their glasses toward the water. Often
times the observer fails to know thai
the frog is comfortably hidden be
meath overhanging grass. Perhaps 9
wise boy passes and rakes the grass
with his crude fishing rod and a
splash Is heard The observer with
the glasses does not know, perhaps
that the selfsame frog knows enough
about self-preservat;on to swim hid
den in that muddy water made by the
boys rod as it touches bottom.
Most of the observers through Cd
era glasses fail to find the object OF
their search. That is what makes the
sport pleasure, because there is the
motive of conquest. Lucky is the per
son who discovers one bird among
a dozen songsters with the present lux
uriant foliage. "Seei There 1t ISL
the woman with the opera glass ex.
claims. The bird seems to have keen
eyes and a nervous temperament. Be.
fore the companion can find the spot
the bird has flown and the attendants
upon this free theater of nature must
wait until they hear another song
ster. There Is no rule for the exits
and entrances of the performers. They
cannot be tempted with bouquets, be-
cause they fit over many flowers at
this season. If they would the birds
could arrange many a beautiful stage
setting, but they do not pose long.
They belong to the realistic school of
performers and they do not pose long
enough to permit any adverse criti-
cism.

languishing at the point of death. The
novelist went over his nen litera-
ture" to locate the cause of the
trouble but to no avail. Finally he
called upon an old chap named Raw
Inns, to whom he put the question.
What do you suppose is the matter
with those chickens?' We'll, I
dunno, said Rawlins. What do you

the novelist-farmer Why, l don't

CARDINALS DAILY LIFE.
Glimpse Of the Leading Catholic Pre-.
late Of America.


A glimpse of Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Farley of New York. as
they chatted pleasantly at the car
dinafs residence could not fail &c
impress the observer with the strik
ing contrast of the two dignitaries OF
the catholic church, says the Balti
more Sun. The Archbishop, with his
pleasant, youthful. classic face, had
the manners and bearing of man OF
the world, with the cardinal, thin and
wan 'countenance, reminded one OF
the ascetic monk rather than the sec.
ular priest
Yet the cardinal possessed what
the arc..oishop lacked--the bright
Keen eye, which bespeaks a vigorous
active intellect, however. thin the
body without. 1t Is this power of mind
which makes the cardinal retain the
vigor and freshness of youth, despite
his venerable years. He attributes
this rare power of his to methodical
mode of living-regular hours OF
sleep. for meals and for study, from
which he never deviates.
Even in his daily walks-for the
cardinal is quite pedestrian-he is
as regular as clockwork. His favorite
walk. where he is likely to be seen. is
along Charles street to Mount Yer.
non place. He usually stops at the
new Walters Art gallery to see what
progress has been made. Out Cattle.
dral street to the Mount Royal en-.
trance of Druid Hill park brings him
TO the lake. when he generally turns
back. This is a long walk for a man
of his years, but the cardinal has the
vim OF younger man and scorns the
comfort and luxury of carriage.
The cardinal. the highest in rank.
is perhaps the most democratic pre-.
late in America Position or wealth
carries little weight with him, for the
humble toner receives as kindly a
welcome as the influential man of
affairs. This. no doubt, accounts for
his popularity irrespective OF creed.
While the average Baltimorean IS
grumhling about the weather the car.
dinal does not complain. How a man
of his years can dwell in the hot city
and in the turmoil and hustle Of the

OF AFRICAN NATION.

Henry M. Turner of Atlant Ga.

negro nationality in Africa, is spend
ing several days in this city, holding
in Brooklyn the eighty-seventh annu-

ever that the better class of negroes.
should return and establish a great
nation, which he declares would win
| the respect and admiration of the
civilized world.
Il used to love the American flag
once, declared he. But now despise
it. because America is the most hor-

Bishop Turner believes that the
decision of the supreme court in the
civil rights case is responsible for all
the ills to which his race is heir.
The world has never witnessed

CLEMENCEAU UP IN THE AIR.
Premier and Gen. Ptcauart Cruise In War
Balloon La Patrie.

Special Cabis Despatch 10 THE Sun.
PARIS. July 22.-When a Frenchman
reads in the opposition newspapers that
his army will be nothing but a skeleton for
some months he turns his thought to the
dirigible balloon La Patrie and is com
forted. When he thinks OF the successive
naval disasters that have befallen the
French navy he rereads the German COM
ments on La Patrie and is heartened TO find
their confession that they are five years
behind in navigation Of the air.
His confidence will be strengthened a
hundredfold when he reads that Prime
Minister Clemenceau and Gen. Picquart,
Minister Of War. we're passengers for a trip
this afternoon. Capt. Veyer Bots and
MecIanician Dugufray were their guardians.
As they passed over the Place Beauveau
the Premier suggested that they might
leave him at his official door, but il was
pointed out that the Ministerial courtyard
was rather small for a descent. Here IL
VI. Clemenceau's own account Of the trip
as he gave it to the Petit Pdrisien.
Il am delighted that I can appreciate
myself the precious qualities Of h new
dirigible balloon with which the army is
going to be lowered. We circled above
Paris for about an hour with marvellous
ease. From Chalais Meudon we went
toward the Eifel Tower. turned round it
completely and then arrived at the Place
de la Concorde. There we came about
and returned TO Meudon. landing at the
exact point whence we started"
AT no moment had I the sensation Of
being in a balloon. so perfect seemed its
stability. | could more easily have be-
lieved myself aboard a ship. I had a feel
ing Of the most absolute security. We
were generally at from 500 to 800 metres
high. Once we were only $50 metres M.
We too a long dive. but during it the equili-
brium was in no way lessened.
We had one little accident. In passing
over the Esplanade des Invalides the motor
stopped suddenly. 4 small tube broke,
incidentally besprinkling me with warm
water. The mechanicisn was O dis
turbed in the slightest. He set to work
and effected repairs as TRANQUILITY as a
chauffeur fixing an automobile by the
roadside. In a quarter of an hour every
thing was right again"
Gen. Berteaux Of the General STAFF said
to-day:
MANY people and not the least important
think that dirigible balloons will constitute
on offensive arm and become an engine
Of devastation with explosives. They are
deceived. The Patrie and its SUCCESSORS
are destined to act as incompatible scouts
for the army, advantageously replacing
cavalry, in many cases even the boldest
cavalry
Gen. Berteaux has not the slightest mis-
givings in regard to their vu~lnerability.

LONDON. July 22.-The v~iolinist Maud
MacCarthy has decided to abandon her
profession. She has cancelled all her
engagements for the purpose OF devoting
herself to theosophy.
She says her conversion is not sudden,
but is the result Of natural development.
She has always felt a desire to think. This
desire struggled in her with the necessity
for giving so much time to practising.
She adds:
Now l feel II il better to devote myself
TO this other work with my full powers. so
as to help myself and the world too II I
can, rather than devote myself to my art
with only part Of my powers. which would
help neither myself nor the world"
She does not propose to start a. a teacher
Of t~heosophy. She is as yet only a student.
She has never found anything 90 COM
pletely satisfying. She has always had a
profound reverence for Mrs. Besant. whom
she met three times, but Mrs. Besant did not
proselytize her. Indeed, she was not in
huenoed by anybody, acting entirely on her
