proof, TO rise and give a seat to a
venerable bachelor, even to one who
had done honorable service for the
state, saying:
No son Of yours will ever rise to
give me a seat"
This punishment of the bachelor
has been common in many ages and
countries, and extended down to the
early days of our own history. In
Connecticut, in 1899. a law was passed
which would not "allow any young un.
married man to keep house." and
Hartford taxed lone men twenty
shillings week" for the selfish lux.
ury OF solitary living" In 1862 a spe
c1ai town order gave permission for
two bachelors to keep house together,
so they carry themselves soberly and
do not entertain idle persons to the
evil expense of time by day or night"
while as late as the eighteenth cen.
tury general statute of Connecticut
forbade any householder" under pen.

HOW BIRDS CHANGE PLUMAGE
Prof. Joseph GrInneIi Makes Some In.
teresting Discoveries Which Agree
Not With Common Belief.

1t has been generally believed that
the brilliant plumage exhibited by the
males of many species of birds during
spring-that is. during the mating sea.
son-is directly connected With the
physiological condition of the birds at
this time, and various theories have
been formulated to account for the
facts. Prof. Joseph Grinnell has found
in the Californian linnet some facts
that do not agree with the common
belief. In this bird the male presents
brilliant red breast and neck during
the mating season, whereas in the au.
tumn and winter the feathers have
dull grayish coloring. with mere
suggestion of pink. But the bird does
not moult (change its feathers) in
the spring, nor is there new pigment
formed in the feathers. BY collecting
a series of feathers from August, when
the bird does moult, to the following
spring, and examining these care
fully, 1t was found that in the new
feathers the brilliant red is confined
to narrow band, which is overlapped
by the edge of the adjacent feathers.
The overlapping portions are white
and brittle. During the winter these
delicate portions are rubbed OF and
lost. 80 that when the mating season
arrives the bird has its brilliant coat.
Mr.. Grinnell emphasizes especially the
fact that this brilliant coloring is &C.
tually produced in the autumn. after
the mating season, at time OF the
year when the vitality of the birds is
supposed to be at it's lowest ebb.

and the full area harvested would

the crop of 1911. Allowing for an
average decline between April and
July (55 per cent for the past ten
years. and an average abandoned

be about 4O3 million bushels, Or q
