ABOUT THE CATBIRD.

While on recent visit to this
city, Special Agent H. H. Kopman,
of the Audubon Societies, was asked
by the children of the public
school to write an article for their
paper, the High School Idea, with
the following result:
October is the month when you find
more birds in this locality than at
any other time of the year besides
April. This is the season of migra-
ton when birds are passing our lati-
tude from their nesting places inthe
northern States to the tropical coun-
tries to the south of US, and when
those that lived through the summer
here are leaving before the arrival of
cold weather. From these statements
you might believe that our woods
would be entirely deserted by their
feathered life in winter. But you will
remember, if you reflect moment,
that there are some birds, like the
mocking bird, blue jay and the car
dinal, or redbird, that remain with
us throughout the year. While the
cool or cold weather drives many
birds to seek more friendly temper
atures than ours in winter, it brings
others that find this a very moderate
climate compared to the weather they
would have to endure If they re-
NAMED all the winter where they
nested in the summer, and many of
such birds will stay with us through
out our colder season. Such are the
robin, the cedarbird, the white-throat,
the winter wren and the hermit
thrush. In the spring, these birds
will leave us again to nest in the
northern States and Canada; our
summer birds will come back to us,
while the travellers that are now
passing through (birds that nest in
the northern States, but cannot
stand the winter climate Of North
America, even on the Gulf COAST
will again be- on their long journey,
which carries them from 5000 to 5000
miles twice a year.
One of these constant travellers is
now with us in great numbers. Every
one knows the catbird, though in this
neighborhood it is often called the
"black caille." 1t is seldom that a
catbird is seen here during the nest
ing season and seldom also that you
will find one in winter, but in the
spring and fall, and especially in Oc-
tober, thousands of them are found
in our woods. The catbird is one of
the birds that nature has placed in
the forest to keep insects in check.
but when it comes to our swamps, il
finds so many gum and other berries
that it is apt to neglect tha work Of
insect destruction, and 1t Is for this
reason that many persons are apt to
consider 1t useless creature, and
to slaughter them in great numbers,
irf spite of the provisions of our laws,
which protect such birds as the cat
bird and nearly all other small spe-
#cies at every season of the year.
Even while the catbird is gorging it.
self on gum berries, Magnolia seeds,
Spanish mulberry, and poke berries,
it destroys a considerable number OF
insects. When 1t fingers in our woods
for a while in spring, it is even more
useful in that direction, for every
insect killed in spring saves the dam
age that would be caused by the
broods of this creature if it had not
been put out of the way.

MILLION DOLLAR
HOTEL PLANNED
FOR DEAL BEACH
Stock Company to Operate It and
Negotiations for Site Are
Under Way.
Especial to the Evening star.l

t1fN
DEAL. Aug. GA million dollar hotel
is planned for Deal Beach, negotiations
now being in progress for the site. The
hotel with be built and operated by a
stock company, and various well known
members of the summer colony will
subscribe to the main fund.
Leading in the enterprise is the Pow
ers Construction Company, of New
York. Mr.. Powers declined yesterday
to discuss the project further than to
say that no definite plan had been per-
tested. He declared, however, that on
August 10 he would make an announce
ment. He said:
eve are not in a position to discuss
the proposed hotel in n way, as there
has been no purchase of property, and
the original plan is still chaotic. The
need of a fine and large hotel on this
part of the New Jersey coast Is most
apparent, and many of the most i'm
portant residents look with favor on the
erection of a new hotel consonant with
the other developments of the coast"
Many wealthy residents of Deal look
with disfavor upon the project, declar-
ing that a transient population would
be undesirable. They point to the eX-
clusiveness of Newport. and to the
fact that it has no hotels. Deal, they
say, should be a cottage colony, fash
Toned after the Rhode Island city.
Land upon which a new hotel would
be erected is held at 500 a front foot.
On zach side of the Casino are many
vacant lots which remain vacant be-
cause of the high price at which they
are held.

HoW much do the children who
own cats know about the various
wild relatives of their affection
ate little pets? Scientists tell us that
pussy belongs to the family of The
Felidae, and they call her felis domes-
tica. From these wise people we also
learn that wild members of her family
are to be found in nearly Every part
of the world, and that among them are
many of the f%iercest, strongest and
most terrible beasts" Some of the
more powerful representatives of the
family are the lion and the tiger, and
in our own country the panther. Much
can be learned about the wild members
of the family Felidae by observing our
domestic cats. Felis domestica and all
her relatives have eyes that enable
them to see peter at night than in the
day. and therefore they generally hunt
at night. They walk silently on their
soft toes n W. sharp, crue claws
which can be completely hidden when
they are not needed. The larger men,
bers of the family lie in wait for their
prey and at the right ONE leap
suddenly upon 1T, just as pussy pounces
upon a mouse. The long, SHARP teeth,
which can be so plainly seen on each
side of pussy's upper and lower jaws,
and which look very terrible to the
poor mouse, are only a smaller edition
of the weapons with which the lion and
the tiger kill their larger prey.
1t is hard to think of a kitten, when
1t purrs and rubs it's soft fur against
some friendly human being. as having
the remotest connection with any wilo
beast, but let a strange dog or cal
appear on the scene and the harmless
little creature Is instantly transformed
into a tiny picture of rage. 1t woulo
probably be impossible for any animal
of its size to give a more striking
demonstration of wrath. and one who
witnesses it can, with a slight effort Of
the imagination, form an idea of the
unpleasantness of meeting one o.
pussy's larger relatives in a similar
state of mind.

The enthusiasm displayed by the

there is no regular team in the fire

material. There are so many good
