STONE FOR HISTORIC GRAVE
Last Resting Place of Moses Robinson,
Governor, Judge and senator of
Early vermont, To BE Marked.

Bcrrtnrton oct "a movement
has been inauEurated and n portion
of the fund has already been sub
scribcd to remark the grave of Moses
Robinson. the second governor of
Vermont, in the old cemetery at Ben
nington Center. There. is a hoadstonc
over the grave at the present time
but the memorial was evidently cut
from limestone quarricd near the sur
face of the ledge and during the lapse
of years the stone has disntegratci
so that the crtaph is wholly gone and
a glass IS required to decipher the in
scription. The original stone was
ornamcnted with an elaborate border
of Greek pattern and numerous scrolls
and designs. So far as possible these
will be reproduced on the new head
stone.

RANGE OF THE
NIGHTINGALE.
Countries in which 1t Nests and Sec
tons which 1t Avoids.

tFrom the Outlook.)
The idea of the nightingale being a
melancholy bird might have original
ed in the classical myth-the not-was.
If we may borrow tho literal transla-
ton Of the Russian word for legend.
For Philomcla. the nightingale of the
Greeks. was once a human maiden
who had known the depths Of sorrow.
And to them the bird was still lament
ing the woes Of the girl. whose tongue
had been cruelty cut out,
The erratic distribution of the night
ingale is a curious and interesting
problem in bird life No other bid
in the British Isles is so remarkably
| restricted in its range. The "delect-
| able Duchy" does not attract IT. It
does not visit the Emerald Isle; the
land of brow heath and shaggy
| wood has no charms for It; only one
| spot in gallant little Wales. the neigh
horhood of Cowbridgc. is honored with
| it's visits, And in England osly on
| the east side of the line drawn from
the mouth of the Tees to the coast
of Dorset does it find its fastidous
| taste suited.
And in France it avoids the west
crn part; rocky Britain knows it not,
Eany years ago Sir John Sinclair en- =
deavored to induce the nightingale to
extend its summer range to Gale
donna stern and wild" His attomI {
was founded on the wcll-known fact
that migratory birds return to the
spot whore they were reared. orders
were given to London dealer for
as many nightinealcs eggs as hc
could produce at the rate Of one shil-
ling each. These were dispatched t.
Scotland and placed in robins nests
whore they never returned to Scot
land after their autumn migration.
In Europe the nightingale goes n
far north as Copenhagen The rcasor
for this curously restricted range t.
not known. But without wishing t.
PROFOUND any theory, we may note 2
curious coincidence between the geo
logical structure of the country an,
the distribution of tho bird. for the
line mentioned as marking the ransC
Of the nightingale separates the Older
from tho younger rock systems. West
Of this line, where the nightingale T.
not found, are the carboniferous dnC
still older rocks, east of 1t, whore tho
nightingale occurs, are the triassi'
, and still younger rocks and the litt

iugale's presence Is an island o

ancient strata. For some reason tn
nightingale would appear To prefc

Attempts have been made from tim
to time since the days of Aristophanc
to express the nightinEale's song II

music "the harsh captivity of words.

pressly states that deer having horns
not less than three inches in length may
