DR.. McCutcheon receives word that
some of his birds have been seen, and
as far away as fifty miles goldfinches

The kindly act of DR.. McCutcheon has
been appreciated by every man. wo.
man and child In the state and the
state legislature went so far as to
pass stringent laws protecting the
song birds.
Five years ago DR.. McCutcheon
brought 80 birds of each variety from
Liverpool and established a private
aviary at his home. The first winter
he lost half of his flock, but when
spring came he released the remain
der. and soon reports came to him OF
observations being made to prove his
imported birds we're nesting. Every
year since he has imported more
birds. and this spring released 500
birds of seven varieties.
DR.. McCutcheon is positive that the
imported birds will thrive along the
Pacific slope state and increase in
number. They are not birds used to
migration and, they must winter close
to their nesting place, For this reason
he feels that the mild climate of the
Pacific coast states is admirably
adapted to their propagation.
There is lack of singing birds In
the Puget Sound country" said DR..
McCutcheon. "and the first thing a
stranger notices about the wide

FIRST WATCHES AND CLOCKS
elk Centuries Has Elapsed Since
Great Convenience Was Given
to the World.

Since celebrations are the order OF
the day, why not observe the sixth
century of the introduction Of clocks?
It was, we are told, In 1909 that the
FIRST clock known to the world was
placed In the tower Of San Eustorgio.
in Milan.
The greatest establishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
who came to see the timepiece. In
1914 a clock was installed In the pal
ace of the mobiles at Padua. This was
q wonder of mechanism indeed, for
besides indicating the hours 1t showed
the course of the sun. the revolutions
of the planets, the various phases of
the sun, the months and the fetes OF
the year.
The period Of the evolution from
the clock to the watch was II years.
not so very long all things considered.
and the record of the first watch is
1880. A half century later an alarm
clock made its appearance. This. we
are told, was looked upon by the peo-
pie Of that age as "un instrument
prodlgieux."
The fortunate possessor of this clock
was Andrea Alciato, q councillor OF
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded
bell at stated hour. and at the same
time little wax candle was lighted
automatically. How this was done
we are not told. but Il must not be
overlooked that until about 10 years
ago we had no means of obtaining q
light other than the tinderbox, so that
the Milanese must have been centuries
ahead Of US In this respect.
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 1740. when the second
hand was added.
