thousand in this city. At least one-Quarter Of
these are political fustives and thus affected
by the amnesty proclamation. The consul general
expects that the next two months will see heavy
exodus of Turkish subjects who have not been able
to return to Turkey heretofore because Of fear OF
arrest for alleged political offences Many of these,
he thinks. will remain in Turkey and aid in the up
building of the country under the new regime

BIRDS vENTRILOQU1srs.

 November St. Nicholas,
 There are many accomplisbp,an,s v..,,.,- the lower animals seem to posses inbsrortt,, put which man can only gain through great application. e'e@'
 One of the human accomplishments bara to learn is ventriloquism. It seems to ho a gift which comes to but few of ths bvo man species: yet among birds thera ar. species evory individual of which nosses.as the power of making the voice seem to come from another spot than that in which the owner Is located.
 There seems to be very little reason for this in most cases. but still there must ha some, for nature is very economical in bo- slowing her gifts. and one may be sure thai the possession of the power argues its use- fulness. The first example of ventriloouisn which will occur to most people is the voice of the mourning dove suppose that every boy has been fooled by this bird. I know that I was, and was delighted when discovered, after walking around A tree in the orchard. that the voice did not come from far away, but close at hand
 When the mourning dove utters his call he swells up air sacs in his breast and neck, and these act sort of sounding chamber. which tends to hold and repress the sound. as a sound is made in a barrel The emu has the same quality in his voice It is as though these birds swallow their voices.
 The crow has some notes which are very ventriloquial in quality One not in particu- lar is very much like the bark of a distant dog.
