What Man Owes to Birds.

at should be realized, said nat
uralist, that without birds TO hold In
check the insects vegetable life soon
would cease and life for man would
become impossible upon the eartn.
Birds are natures check to the amaz-
ing power Of insects to increase. III
insect life were allowed free course IL
would soon overpower plant life, and
therefore animal life. including that OF
man. would be impossible. This Is an
astounding conclusion. but 1t Is the
conclusion of science. II the birds
were gone very soon the leaves would
disappear from the trees. and the limbs
would be festooned with the webs OF
caterpillars or with masses OF their
nests. These would move from tree to
tree, increasing by the million as they
advanced. In the course Of few
seasons there would be no trees. In
the fields other species Of insects would
destroy the grass and the grain and
all vegetable life. and the ground
would be as II n sea Of devouring

he was Informed by the secretary or
the admiralty that my lords" were
struck by the number OF unknown
names included and that they wished
to make an inquiry on the subject.
