SECTIONS IN WHICH THE
NIGHTINGALE is FOUND

The idea of the nightingale being a mel
anoholy bird might have originated in the
classical myth--the not-was, IL we may
borrow the literal translation of the Rus
sian word for legend For Philomela, the
nightingale of the Greeks. was once a
human maiden who had known the
depths of sorrow. And to them the bird
was still lamenting the woes OF the girl,
whose tongue had been cruelty cut out.
The erratic distribution of the nightin-
gale, says the outlook. is a curious and
interesting problem in bird life No other
bird in the British Isles is so remarkably
restricted in Its range. The "delectable
Duchy" does not attract 1t; 1t does not
visit the Emerald Isle; "the land OF brown
heath and shaggy wood" has no charm
for it; only one spot in gallant little
honored with it's visits. And in England
only on the east side of line drawn from
the mouth of the Tees to the coast OF
Dorset does II find its fastidious taste
suited.
And In France IL avoids the western
part; rocky Brittany knows It not. Many
years ago Sir John Sinclair endeavored
to induce the nightingale TO extend its
summer range to Caledonia stern and
wild" His attempt was founded on the
well-known fact that migratory birds re-
turn to the spot where they were reared.
Orders were given to n London dealer for
as many nightingales eggs as he could
produce at the rate of one shilling each.
These were dispatched to Scotland and
placed in robins nests, where they were
duly hatched and reared. But they never
returned to Scotland after their autumn
migration.
In Europe the nightingale goes as far
north as Copenha gen. The reason for this
curiously restricted range is not known.
But without wishing to PROFOUND any
theory, we might note curious coincf-
dence between the geological structure OF
the country and the distribution of = the
bird, for the line mentioned marking
the range OF the nightingale separates the
older from the younger rock system0
West OF this line. where the nightingale
Is not found are the carbonferous and
still older rocks; east OF It, where the
nightingale occurs, are the triassic and
still younger rocks. And the little area In
Wales honored by the nightingales pres
ence Is an island OF younger rocks among
Wales more ancient strata. For some
reason the nightingale would appear to
prefer younger rocks.
Attempts have been made from time
to time since the days of Aristophones to
express the nightingale's song in sylla-
bles. TO impose on its thrilling music 1.-The
harsh captivity OF words" But as Prof.
Newton says. the song Is indescribable.

team except the Athletics.
Steele, the star twirler of the Lynn
team, of the New England League,
goes to the Boston Americans next sea-
son.
Manager Fielder Jones, of the White
Sox. must be rehearsing his retirement
act. He has been fired from the game
twice recently. e
While acting manager of the Chicago
Americans, Billy; Sullivan fined Isbell
so cents. which sum Sully claimed was
owed him.
Charles Hemphill, center fielder of
st. Louis, is another old-timer who has
taken on a second lease Of life. He is
good for many years yet.
Grimshaw, of Boston, will go with
the Toronto club. in the Eastern
Thoney, who formerly was with the
Highlanders and Cleveland.
Connie Mack seems to be developing
another great youngster in Nichols. He
has been playing a great game in the
tnfield and hitting the ball like
world-beater.
Just as soon as McGraw began con-
graduating himself upon having Nc
Gam back in the game the veteran
stuck his arm in front of fast ground
er and was hurled back to the bench
for a few days.
Willie Keller cannot get his eye on
the ball. He is way below the 300
mark, for the first time in his career,
and seems to have but little or no
chance of getting into the charmed
circle this year.
Socks Seybold's long hits have been
a big help to the Athletics. During the
recent squirt of the. Mackerels he won
two games with home-run drives.
Mcintyre, the great Detroit outfeld-
er, has not been missed since he was
put out of the game two months ago
with an injury. The great batting and
fielding of Davy Jones has caused NC
Intyres absence to be overlooked.

SMALL BETS ON COAST BOUT.
Wagering on Gans-Britt AFFAIR Is
Mostly in Minor Sums.

had talk with Britt regarding the
fashion in which the men must break
In the ring and, is awaiting the ar
rival or Cans, who was expecteu mere
today. 1t is thought that Cans VIII
finish his training in this city.
In spite of the fact that the major
ity of followers of sport accept this
contest as likely to be on its merits, it
is not thought that there will be much
betting on the result. What wager
ing is recorded is likely to make Cans
a mild favorite, probably at to 5
or to 10. If any heavy play de-
velops his price will go down prompt
ly, however.
Tom Corbett, who had brief con-
fict with the authorities because he
ran a poolroom near the arena of the
Squires-Burns go. has. laid odds of 4
TO against Cans in a handbook he
IS representing. He says, however,
that the play has been entirely in So
and So bets and that there is no incs
cation of heavy wagers.
Britt Is working more publicly than
on the occasion of his training for the
go with Nelson and seems to be in fair
shape. He goes through sparring
practice In private, but does some
hard work in public as we'll.
Ben Selig, who has attended to
agreements for Cans, says that the
champion is likely to wager a small
sum on himself, but that he-does not

much or his money Is tied UP in some

The Old Manager Sure the White So1
Will Win Out.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Charley Comiskey
Is still serene. "We'l win" is his an
sWer TO all queries. He says his team
the Sox are in bad shape just now, but
still holding their own under adverse
conditions. With half the team Grip
pied and the pitchers all to the bad it
IS wonder that the Sox stay so close

strong at the finish, as they did last
year.
He counts on Nick Altrock rounding

rock and Owen back in last seasons
form and Walsh and White showing
