Captain Mstheson stated that at least

All the sp1uts reached from the sea to

spout which came 30 close to the Dix
was only a ships length and passed With
a whirl, and if it had struck the schoon-

AUDUBON WORK IN VIRGINIA

AUDUBON WORK IN VIRGINIA.
1t will be of interest to the bird
lovers in this state TO know Of the ei-
fort to organizs an active Audubon
Association, which has for its purpose
the protection Of the game and nom
game birds. The frat national move
ment in favor of protection OF non-gsme
birds of the United States was originat-
ed in the mouth of February, 1886, By
Dr.. G. B. Grinnell, editor of Forest
and Stream, and it was called into exis-
teuce by the sudden onslaught made on
American birds not used for food t.
simply the demand of tie millinery
trade 10 America and Europe. An as
socistiop called the Audubon Society
was formed on the 13 of that month
in the city OF New York. It's growth
was rapid, and in three years 1t had
reached membership of $4,000. The
society takes its name from and is q
living monument to the memory of the
south's grest artist snd distinguished
scientist, John james Audubon, of New
| Orleans, La, and its work should be
especially dear to our Southland, for
his name aud fame is known in every
cline. The most important lice of
work is (D to awaken public sent ment;
and (2) securing adequate legislation
AID The enforcement of tho same. The
State of Virginia is far behind her
sister states il the appreciation aud
knowledge of the economic value of her
bird life. Our laws are most defect We,
and the last Legislature took a decid dly
back ward step in removing protection
from many of the most valuable birds 10
The farmer, aud whose destruction
means serious loss to the ct .te and ma
ton. We have no game commissions,
out 12l game wsrdens under no head
warden to see that they do their duty,
and consG queDtly the laws sra violated
every day, and no punishment to the
offender. Our beautiful cardinals sod
home-loving robins are shot /, t sll times,
as are also our srest singers, the mocking
birds, thrnshesIsnd etc, and theirntsis and
eggs taken, and these reports come daily
