date of 1910. The man tried to read
it, but threw up the attempt apparent

to the British museum authorities,

Biology and the Canal.

At the recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can association for the advancement
of science in Chicago, attention was
called to the interesting fact that the
work on the Panama Canal is chang
ing biological conditions in Panama,
and that its completion will enable
the fresh-water fauna of the Atlantic
and Pacific slopes to intermingle.
Undoubtedly, many marine animals
will pass from one ocean to the
other. Thus permanent change Of
conditions viii be brought about,
which may or may not possess much
practical importance; hut its scien-
title interest is very great. In view
of these facts, the association resolved
to urge upon congress the necessity
of an immediate biological survey Of
the Panama Canal zone.

CANADIAN wAR ON spARRows.

There may be species of disloyal-
ty in the Canadian declaration of war
on the English sparrow, yet it is to
be doubted if anyone, English or
otherwise, will have the temerity to
defend this little feathered BLACKBOARD
which got into this country before i'm
migration restrictions became as ex-
acting as they now are. A naturalist
of Hamilton, in an address in that city
recently, declared that in the stomachs
of over 500 sparrows examined by him
practically no insects were found and
the few were of kind more beneficial
to man than otherwise. These birds
apparently took little interest in
insects, but lived and thrived en- grain
and the backdoor offerings of house
wives. When it Is considered that
sparrows not only do not aid man by
the destruction of pests, but actually
drive away other birds which would
be more than willing to make their
living off these pests, the extreme ma
ture of the sparrow's offense against
society is understood. Rats and spar
rows, declares the Toronto Mail and
Empire, are the great enemies of
Canada, and it suggests dominion
wide war on both.
1t is the opinion of this same Ham
ilton naturalist that the hawk, though
much maligned and generally recog
nized as an enemy of man, is really
less a social parasite than the little
sparrow, even admitting the discrep-
ancy III numbers. In the stomach of
a single hawk he found 500 Inosqui-
toes, showing that chickens and grain
are by no means the sole diet of this
prow1er of the night. The English
sparrow has no friends, and on the
other hand it has few enemies inte-
rested enough in its destruction to
carry on war of determination.

DEPENDS YANKEE spARRows.

Because not one American in hun
dred has been found who knows the
difference between the pestiferous
European house sparrow, commonly
known as the English sparrow, and
the intensely valuable sparrows ma
tive to this country, an educational
campaign is being launched in New
York city with the object of making
every citizen of the United States ac-
quainted with his feathered compa-
triots. Taking as text the sins of
the foreign bird, which are visited
upon the head of his innocent Ameri-
can cousins, the National Association
of Audubon Societies is planning to
establish what may prove university
of ornithology for the nation. When
an adequate endowment for such an
institution Is provided it is intended
to carry the simple facts of bird habits
and economic value TO every mind in
the land.
That ignorance of the distinction
between the native sparrows and the
injurious species from across the ocean
is causing the wholesale slaughter of
Americas most valuable bird race has
been proven by recent investigations
of the projectors of this scheme.
Great numbers of the little Yankee
birds, who it has been shown clear 90
per cent. Of the weeds from every gar
den and field, are found to be falling
before the uniformed revenger of the
ravages of their cockney cousins.
That ca sparrow is sparrow" has
been discovered to be the unhappy
belief of the great majority of the peo-
pie of this country, where the pest of
the English house sparrow is being
more and more resented.
With a score of such species as the
Tree, Chipping, Field. Swamp, Lark,
Grasshopper, Vesper and Song Spar
row, the Junco and Grosbeak, enlis-
ted to kill weeds and harmful insects
for the farmer and orchardist in every
section of this country, the govern
ment authorities have declared the
American sparrow to be "of greater
value to agriculture than any other
species and well worthy of protection
and encouragement" Exhaustive
scientific Investigations by these ex-
perts have proven that the native
sparrows are practically innocent of
consuming any cultivated fruits, while
the English sparrow is notorious de-
stroyer of buds and blossoms, grain,
fruit and garden seeds. This impor-
ted house sparrow, utterly unlike
ours, is also guilty of driving away
native birds from their fields of use
fulness and in addition is noisy and
filthy, befouIing vines and buildings.

WORK THE BIRDS DO.

III San Francisco large sums of
money are being spent to exterminate
the common house RAJ. Near the
Humboldt Valley a plague of field
mice recently swept off large part
of the crops. In one county of the
State of Washington a species Of
ground squirrel destroys half mil
lion dollars worth of wheat annually.
Every farmer knows, says writer in
Fo1et and Stream, that one of his
chief labors when his crops are grow
ing in summer is fighting weeds. 1t
is also known that sparrows of all
sorts depend largely for food on the
seeds of various weeds.
The most useful aids to the farmer
in destroying the hordes of small ro-
dents that prey upon his crop, his
fruit trees and the contents of his
house and barn are the hawks and
owls, whose food these small mammals
are. These birds are striving day and
night the whole year round to cap
ture this food. How enormously val
liable to man are the services of these
hawks and owls has been pointed out
many times by experts who have
studied their food. The man who
kills hawk or an owl, unless it be
one of the three or four harmful spe-
cies, performs an evil deed for the
community where he kills it.
The woodpeckers spend all their
time, winter and summer, searching
for grubs which bore into trees, and
for the eggs of noxious insects which
lie hidden in the crevices of the bark
and the cracks of the dry wood and
every insect, grub or batch of eggs
that they devour is just so much help
to the owner of the wood-lot because
it reduces the number of bis enemies.
IT IS popular fallacy that fountain
pens are quite modern invention.
As matter of fact, an old work of
reference published in 1895 contains
an illustration of fountain pen, the
appearance of which is very much like
those sold at the present time. Its
construction, however, was somewhat
elaborate and clumsy, the pen consist
ing of various pieces of metal, which
had to be screwed and unscrewed be-
fore the pen could be used--1St-BftS.

To save leg by making the veins do duty as
arteries is the remarkable feat professor Of
surgery at Constantinople has attempted. with
at least temporary success. Gangrene of the
limbs as result of closing of the arteries in old
age or disease is common in the East, and ampu-

avoiding this desperate remedy has been sug-

affected than the arteries. Greatly alarmed by
the burning symptoms in his left leg. patient
whose right foot had been amputated on account
of gangrene appealed to the surgeon for help
