State ornithologist's Letter for April.)

(State Ornithologist's Letter for Apri1.)
 The general interest in our wild birds has led to the springiIfg up here and there in Connecticut of so-called Bird clubs, the special purpose of which is personal acquaintance with all forms of wild bird life afleld. Among these organizations are the New Ha- ven, Hartford and Norwalk Bird clubs and the Waterbury Naturalists' club. It is now proposed to federate these clubs under an organized plan for g definite purpose. and to establish other clubs of this federation throughout the state. Committees of the local clubs are being appointed to confer together and decide the details of the general plan, which latter is as follows:
 There has arisen throughout the state, as elsewhere, a widespread in- tsrest in the birds, and a general de- sire to see them restored again to and valuable species are almost ex- tinct and may soon disappear forever unless forcefuI measures are taken. While the basis of interest for the clubs would be personal acquaintance with the birds outdoors, there would also be definite practical programme for the restoration of bird life in Con- necticut. For instance, systematic winter feeding of the birds throughout the state would probably be arranged and preparation for nesting sites for desirable species about gardens and farms. Educational propaganda would be arranged and speakers and lecturers secured for itinerary among the clubs at reduced rates. Active cooperation in this plan would be given to organ izing branches of the State Audubon society among the school children and effort made to secure the general adOp- ton of reasonable. amount of '3ob- servation study" of birds in the schools, thus preparing future constituency for the clubs. Cooperation would also be sought with sportsmen's organiza- tions for various good ends. Publica- tions would be prepared and circulated by the clubs. Through such organiza- : tion effective and speedy action could be taken against reactionaTy 1egisIa- tion or for any needed changes in the laws.
 It is particularly desired that the proposed organiza ton shall be on no narrow lines, but broad enough to in, .clude everyone interestedkin birds and their restoration. All good sportsmen are invited to join in the movement and help. to make it as effective as possible. One of the first necessary steps will be to secure lists of names of people in each town and city of Connecticut who are interested in birds The state ornithologist will greatly appreciate the sending to him ty of such names or lists of names, with brief annotations describing kind and degree of interest, etc. This will greatly facilitate the work of organiza- ton.
 There isr something of the spirit of the hunter and explorer, at least latent, in most people, particularly men and

youth. It is splendid thing, particu- larly as spring now sounds the tocsin of the call of the great outdoor world to have some definite taste and inter est that impels one to roam afield. The wild birds, so varied in appearance and breezy in their ways, furnish a most attractive quest. For people to range forth. in friendly groups over field, woodland, swamp or shore and, armed with field glass or camera, to secure in stimulating rivalry day lists of birds or photographs of them, or to trace out with skilled woodcraft the care fully concealed nests, furnishes one of the finest of sports, adapted to every age, sex and condition, with additional rewards of health and of far-reaching economic benefit. Why may not thou sands of new recruits thus get out doors these pleasant days and unite forces with the many other friends of the birds in our beautifully diversified little state?

President Diaz, in his address to the Mexican congress upon its assem- b11ng. showed that he saw the need o< reforms the ins urrectos demand an6 q spirit to yield 10 it. although Madere <ioes not seem to haze any confidenct that he will prove to be much of . xeformer after his arbitrary career
 what President Diaz promises h reform of the election laws and of the judiciary system; a single term for the president, as before he assured hzD own succession by wiping out that earlier provision of the constitution; recognition of local government in tht popular election of governors in the several states; and the distribution of great landed estates among the people on some equitable plan-
 He has seen the error of his ways and ps0mises to reverse his methods The insurrectos feel well over this dis closure. but there is such a spirit of distrslst that there is still a question whether President Diaz can make peace without either resisning or 1ghtiug the issues to a finish.

GETTING READY FOR THE ELks.

The people of Atlantic City are mak- ing great preparations for the twenty fifth annual grand lodge reunion of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in that great seashore city next July.
 Among the prizes now being arr ranged for by the hustling committee of the convention city lodge to add interest to what is expected to be the greatest roundup of Elks the country has ever known, there will be a sub stantial reward for the lodge having the greatest number of ladies in the line when the annual demonstration of the lodges takes place on the fourth day of the convention, and another for the lodge which brings the largest number of ladies' to the reunion.
 There will be prizes also for the lodge contingent making the best sp- pearince in the competitive drill, drilling to count 50 per cent, and uniforms and the number of men participating 25 per cent. each. There will be three prizes also for best bands, and cash awards for the three lodges having the largest number of men in line. There will be prizes also for the three lodges with the most attractive uniforms, and cash encour- agement for the two lodges travelling the greatest distance to the Atlantic City reunion. Atlantic City will offer rewards also for the most attractive floats and the most beautiful banner.
 To encourage decoration and illu- imitation on the part of citizens, At iantic City lodge will offer prizes also for the best decorated and most brilliantly illuminated buildings. It is sufficient to say right now that the avenues and the far famous Board walk will be masses of bunting in daytime and literally ablaze with elec- tricity after nightfall.
 Arrangements are being made to have the Elks well housed, we'll fed, well cared for and entertained
