FIycatcher Granted Certificate o
Good Character.

cate Of good character to the kingbird,
sometimes known as the beemartin. a
species of fiycatcher which inhabits
pretty nearly every part Of the United

bees and a foe of apiarists. Department
of Agriculture experts fully exonerate
the bird of the charge Of being de-
stroyer. They say that It kills only the
drones and the useless bees, and Is there
fore a boon to the bee raisers.

lection of 100 Canrases.
Within the last few days there have
been hung in the New National Museum
100 original brush paintings portraying
the everyday life and habits OF the jap
anese people. beginning with the six
teenth century and extending down to
the present century.
This Is the first time this famous col
lection has been shown in America. One
of the great admirers of this famous
collection was Francis d. Millet, of
Washington, who lost his life in the IT.
tanic disaster. He viewed the collec-
ton in Tokyo in 1905, and declared that
it was the finest collection of paintings
of its kind in Japan.
In American and European countries
there are many Japanese color prints in
museums and private collections, but
very few are genuine original brush
paintings reproducing the everyday life
and habits Of the Nipponese.

FILE SUIT SEEKING ID RECOVER PARK Claimed North Birmingham Park Land Belongs
 to City

Chaneery proceedings were instituted in the city court yesterday seeking to de- clare the North Birmingham park a pub lie park and to restrain and enjoin the North Birmingham Land company from converting the park to their own use.
 The bill was filed yesterday morning by M. M tlllman, assistant city attorney. The city of Birmingham claims an ease ment on tho right to use the entire tract of land originally used for a park. Tes- timony will be introduced as to the pur- chase of lots adjacent to the park by householders who aver that the park was offered by the land company as an addi- tional inducement to buy.
 It is understood that the North Br- mingham Land company claims the en- tire park and contents has never passed out of their possession. Last year a large portion of the park was divided into lots by the land company and put on the market.
 This action was resented by the cit izens of North Birmingham and the suit filed in the city court is the result. In addition to claiming the tract of land the city asked damages for injury to the park property.
