BIRDS MUST BE PROTECTED
Evils That Have Followed In Ne Train
Of Promiscuous Slaughter Of
F~eathered Creatures.

The reciprocal relations between
different departments Of nature is a
subject worthy of deep study, for
through such involuntary cooperation
there come results of great economic
value to our race: Promiscuous kill
ing of birds allows insect pests to de-
stroy both forest and orchard, while
the slaughter Of forests and trees In
general results in lessening the multi
plication Of birds because of lack OF
shelter and natural surroundings.
John Davey, now travelling over the
country in the interests Of the Refor'
estation Band Of America, says:
"One hundred million dollars yearly
is the price we pay for the activities
of the tree butcher. The decrease In
the number of native song birds has
resulted in the elimination Of trees
from cities and towns. The band pur'
poses to interest the children Of Can
ada and this country in the culture OF
trees, and the protection Of useful ma
tive birds. In this way we are pre-
pairing a more effective plan for the
restoration of the forests than could
be effected by the setting aside of 100
forest reservations"

Town.
10 HELPS
BEAUTlFY THE BACK YARDS
Publlc-spIrlted Citizens Of Baltimore
Have Formed an Organization for
the Purpose.

The residents It the 200 block OF
st. Paul street have formed an asso-
citation for the purpose of creating
interest in the Identification Of back
yards. The object is a worthy one
for a number of reasons. as the Sun
has often pointed out. The planting
of flowers or the cultivation of grassy
spots in back yards not only beauties
them, but It Is the means of having
them kept In a clean and sanitary con-
dition. AS one reform leads to IN
other, the conversion of the back yard
into a thing of beauty will in its turn
Danish the c~arelessly kept garbage
bucket, with its disagreeable odors
and warn of flies. The elimination
Of the unsightly board fences will
make not only for beauty. but in the
end for economy and safety. The
board fence, like our old friend, Char
ity, covers a multitude Of sins. The
time may come when we may be, in
the present derogatory sense, a back
yardless and a board-feanceless city.
or, at all events, when the back OF
the house shall be its front In point
of beauty and attractiveness, and
when the householder will point with
more pride to her little plot of ground
there than to her parlor overlooking
the street.-Baltimore Sun.

Leaves purify Air.

1t has been calculated that a single
tree is able through its leaves to puri-
fly the air from the carbonic acid
arising from the perspiration Of a con-
siderable number of men, perhaps a
dozen or even MORE.
The volume of carbonic acid ex.
hailed by a human being in the course
of "a hours is put at about 100 gal.
Ions; but by Boussingault's estimate,
a single square yard Of l~eaf-surface,
counting both the upper and under
sides Of the leaves, can, under favor
able circumstances, decompose at
least a gallon Of carbonic acid In a
day. One hundred square yards OF
leaf-surface then would suffice to
keep the air pure for one man, but
the leaves of a tree Of moderate size
present a surface of many hundred
square yards.-Scientiic American.

Parks Lessen Fire Risks.

In connection with the parks and
the city's prospective growth 1t should
be pointed out that the parks have a
fire insurance value. This is a fact
which, seldom taken into account. Is
nevertheless, apparent on a moments
reflection. No greater fire barrier can
be made, invented or built, than a
wide stretch Of park land. The danger
Of conflagration is lessened. This was
distinctly proven in the great san
Francisco fire where flames stopped
short at the edge Of parkways. In
Baltimore one or two parks would
have paid for themselves during that
city's unfortunate conflagration.
