BIRD LANGUAGE

"A made an informal report on the sub
iect declares that researches are in progress
that in the near future will greatly aid our
knowledge Of the language Of birds, and VIII
present proof Of the remarkable detail OF
some Of these methods Of communication.
These it is added, are not Languages" in
the ordinary human sense that they are de-
velODcd into words more or less mOnoto-
nouslv spoken, and depending on the alter
nation Of consOnants and VOwels tor their
definition; but by great many and various
sounds the birds are SAID TO express con
siderable number Of different feelings, their
calls and cries being always understood and,
should there be OCCASION needed by other
birds. These feelings include alarm, love,
jealousy, contcntmcnt, pam, and pleasure.
The common crow is said 10 have vo-
cabularv more expressive and Of wider range
than that of many Of the finest songbirds,
and the American wild turkey IS lnstanced
as one Of the best illustrations Of the versa
tilitv Of bird language The turkey is alleged
to have perfectly dstingushable vOcabu-
Iarv of at least a dozen "WoTdS." It's con
stant peril from half a dozen sources, over
head and underioot, has rendered it neces-
sarv that it shall possess a special call or
alarm for each Of those perils.
For danger from overhead, as from hawk
or an eagle, the turkey has a low note, well
drawn out, which cautions every member OF
q flock. For immediate danger, it gives an
entirely different note, quick, sharp, tremu-
lous which is taken by other turkeys TO
mean that they shall instantly hide them
selves, for the enemy is approaching.
When danger threatens from fox or
dog. a distinctly different signal is used.
This signifies "Takc wing" and turkeys who
hear it are instantly in the air.
The same note is employed when there IS
other danger on the ground, only the note IS
prolonged instead Of being quickly uttered.
In this case the turkeys do not at once
take to fight; but the feeding ceases, and,
with necks stretched TO their longest TO en-
able the eve TO see as far as possible, the fock
circles about until it has covered an area
great enough TO show that the alarm was
groundleSs.
When feeding in field where food IS plen-
tiful and good, the turkey makes sign eX-
pressivc OF cOntcntmcnt, varying at dliler-
rnt stages; but the final sword" from the
ratr;areb of the flock checks the meal, and
away the birds 60.
IT, ;e claimed that the common hen is not
far behind the turkey in her vocabulary.
Furthermore, she is SAID to be inuch more
fluent stalker" than the rooster. Her cackle
Is used for three different purposes, and each
cackle IS different from the other cacklcs.
One She uses when seeking nest, or when
calling for her mate; one when she is fright
encd: and another, of triumphant sort,
as she flies from or TO the nest.
The hen has songs Of three distinct types,
the lovesong, a happy response to her
mate. the song Of Indifference, when idly
hunting for food, indicating no certain pur-
noee ;n her movements; and the lullaby

 It will be held in the interest Of no particular candidate and is called MT Dahlman says to learn the purposes of democrats in this state

 The call in part reads:
 Realizing that the statements or Colonel Watterson and Editor Harvey have made the nomination and elec- ton of Governor Wilson an impossi- bility, all precinct, county and district committeeman of the democratic party in Nebraska are herewith invited to meet in Omaha, to take sucn action as will prevent acrimonious dissen- sions which only can injure the can didate Who is nominated The meet ing is called, aot in the interest of any particular candidate.

New Orleans Factors Send Out Com muncatIon to Growers and Buy
 CTS In the South.

New Orleans, Jan. 1S.--The New Orleans Cotton Exchange through its president, E J. Glenny. issued a let ter today addressed to bankers. ship pers and others Interested, urging them to renew the fight against the bureau for the yalidation of cotton bills of lading which grew out of the Liverpool conference last year The letter of President Glenny is af spe eial interest at this time because of the conference on the Central Bureau plan to be held Saturday at Memphis on the request of the Liverpool lead CTS ;n the movement to establish the bureau.
 President Gienny's letter in part follows;
 "It has, during the very Tgrgnt past come to the notice of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange that further strong efforts are being made to force this central bureau plan upon the Southern cotton exporters, and we beg now to advise you in our opinion that unless the exporters and cotton interests of the South present solid front of opposition to the plan and actively resist the efforts of the pro motors thereof, there is grave danger that the New York bureau will become an accomplished fact and the ire sponslb'e shipper will be placed upon the same plane with the responsible shipper, to the great injury of the le- etmate cotton trade and traders
 "In order that this opposition might be most speedily and effectively felt we beg to suggest that everyone with interest opposed to the bureau of instruct the ralroad and steamship lines, on the form enclosed herewith, not to send copy of any Of his or their bills of ladinsr or if shipmasters receipts to the Central Burcau of New YoFk.
 Our purpose ln baking this sug- gesticn is because We have reason to believe strong financial interests in New York to assist the bureau plan, and further, that at least two of these large institutions have yielded to this influence
 1lt will De remembered that in the resolutions adopted by the conference of southern exchanges if was stated that if the yalidation plan goes into effect 1t will retayd >6r possibly pre- vent the passage Of laws making rail road and steamship companies re spcnslble for the acts of their agents.
