II appears that the month of max

deaths.
The death rates OF the individual

1905 from 1874 for California to 10 j

out that the total variation is less than
that among the great towns OF Eng

mot excessive.
With the exception OF South Dakota
all the registration states for which
data are presented for more than a
single year. show lower rates for 1908
than 1907. and In several instances the
rates for 1908 were the lowest on rec

The American crossbin is one Of the
most interesting Of native bird species,
particularly because Of its peculiar
nesting habits. Unlike most other
birds, the crossbill nests very early, its
nests, containing eggs or young. having
been found as early as the latter part
of February or early In March. How
the young birds are able to Withstand
the rigorous temperature Of this sea
son OF the year is not clearly under
stood, but they do. The nest of the
crossbiil IS usually made Of moss,
about the size Of football, with walls
about two inches thick, and has a door
just large enough for the parent birds
to enter. The food Of these birds CON
sists largely Of the seeds Of pine trees,
Its odd shaped bill seeming TO be espe-
cially suited to extracting them. They
also feed upon garden fruits. upon the
seeds Of some varieties OF grass and
eankerworms. The mature birds are
