The birds represent some OF the

ton and collection. For years he has
watched the native birds IN field and
forest, and his practical acquaintance
with the ways Of native feathered
folk IS both extensive and valuable.

may serve TO call the attention Of the
public TO the fact that these birds

one OF the dramatic incidents in that
party Of many dramatic events-the
old Know Nothing. which aimed to
have all political offices filled by native
born Americans only--was the defeat
OF its candidate for governor in the
New York state election Of 1854. the
first OF the two years when the party
was at its height Of its strength. ma
tionaly.
When the Know Nothings nominated
Daniel Ullman, prominent lawyer, for
governor. they confidently expected to
elect him in a three cornored contest,
and this confidence was increased by
the evident fright of the Democrats
and the Wing Temperance coalition at
the probability Of Know Nothing sue
cess. But just when 1t seemed as
though nothing could prevent Know
Nothing wave from sweeping Cllman
into the gubernatorial chair, from some
unknown quarter there arose the
declaration that the head OF the native
born American ticket was not a native
American at all, but one of European
parentage who had been born in the
East Indies. At once there arose the
cry OF "Hindoo" Ullman. it went all
over the state. checking the sweep to-
wards the Know Nothings and ulti-
mately resulted In the defeat OF both
Ullmau and HOratiO Seymour the
Democratic candidate, who later ran
for president against Grant, by Myron

The gift Of mounted birds to the Uni
versity though Of no great financial
value, is nevertheless a real service to
the cause OF education. In presenting a
fine group Of hawk and owl specimens
a product of his devotion to bird study
and observation-the donor has pro-
vlded a means Of instruction for many
students and has melted a profitable
public consideration as 20 the economic
value OF these birds to the country. Il
is good thing, by the way, 20 present
such specimens TO institutions for high
or learning. There they win do the
most good. because they viii be used

Those who have specimens Of any kind

mems and make Of the donor public

neither Of these birds Is numerous In

For the purpose Of enllsting the in

Mr.. Aldous to the University.
TILE RED TAILED HAWK.
The western red-tailed hawk varies
greatly In color, and measures nearly
two feet in length, the female being
the larger. In our specimen the under
parts are bury, with fine reddish
streakings on the breast and larger
darker ones on the sides and belly. The
tail IS bright reddish brown, with
blackish bars near the tip. The rest
Of tho upper parts are dark brown
slightly marked with yellowish brown
and white spots.
This fine bird OF prey is one Of the
species commonly known as the
chickenhawk and It is killed because
Of that name. Il rarely touches
chickens. however. its principal food
being ground squirrels, rabbits, chip
hunks, mice, snakes, lizards. frogs, and
grasshoppers. All Of these except the
frog are pests TO agriculture, and the
destruction Of ground squirrels alone
by this hawk should entitle IL TO pro-
lection. II is found all over the west,
but Is nowhere very common. preferring

streams, or ciroling about mountain
