TRICKS OF THE TURK
By CLEMENT J. BARRETT

Rome December 2s.-(S Special )=To be mentioned favorably in the public prints is still a mortal offense among the ultra conservative officials of tho vatican. This coterie, which was until recently led by Cardinal Giotti, is still one might almost say, all-powerful That it has power to thrust it's deerees against the better judgment of both the pope and his young liberal minded secretary of state, has been manifested most unmistakably by recent appoint ment
 The Eucharistie congress Is to be held at Malta. Certain British, Canadian and Australian newspapers advocated the selection of an English speaking mem- legate to represent his holiness and pre- side over the celebration and confer ence. The English Catholic papers cam paigned for the appointment of Cardi- l-Arehbishop Bourne of Westminster. In London, the nomination of Cardinal Bourne was taken as a foregone con- clusion. The cardinal himself, unwit- tingly perhaps, assisted his oampaisn- CTS by making a state visit to the Eng fish crown colony of the Mediterranean Isle. and capping this by call at the palace of the pope. The surprise and disappointment of Monsignor Bourne's active newspaper friends may be imag- ined when the vatican formerly an nounced that Cardinal Ferrata had been chosen as papal legate to the Eucharis- tic congress at Malta.

then you have a pink nature. and it's useless to deny it.
 There are only these two character eolors, according to Rosalind Murray, a clever girl of 22 who is responsible for this classification of humanity into blues and pinks. Miss Murray, who is a novelist and uncommonly promis- Ing one, is also entitled to a hearing as the daughter of her father, who is no less a person than Prof. Murray, the famous Greek scnolar and transla- tor of Euripides. who visited the United States recently. Her mother. Lady Mary Murray, also belongs to brainy family, being a daughter of the Count ess of Carlisle, one of the most intel 1ectual women in England, so the young writer comes naturally by the unusual mentality which beyond a doubt is hers.
 She published her first novel when she was only IF. It was called "The Leading Note" and one of the most eminent of English reviewers declared that it left the reader face to face with really significant outlook on life" Since then Miss Murray has written two other romances. the latest of which is called "Moonseed." She is a plucy girl as well as a clever one, for she has been handicapped by poor health and indifferent eyesfght, but these troubles have not prevented her from learning French, Russian and Italian, besides doing a lot of writ ing.
 Perhaps her original outlook on the

Teaching Birds to Sing

T run ptI WtthlS.
 Professors" among birds are those that are maintained for the purpose of teacn- ing their companions to sing. These birds have. in turn, been taught by other birds, or by persons who are clever at whistling. Years of experience have taught the ca- nary raisers that, in order 70 obtain the best results from their songsters, they must use Saxon birds as trainers.
 The industry of training the young birds flourishes in the Hartz mountains. No- where else are the birds conscientious ly brought up. Thanks to the wonderful patience of the peasants of that region. the birds learn 10 inodulate their voices, produce silvefy sounds, and introduce a variety of notes into the long trill. embel- fishing them with many a grace note
 For a long while these results were never obtained elsewhere for the ex ported birds cease to transmit their vocal qualities in perfection after one or two generations. Now, however, canary edu- cation in England has advanced to an as- tonishing degree. In that country there gre several schools for birds, where the musical education of these warblers is entrusted to "bird organs" brought from the Hartz mountains.
 These curious instruments are as strange in sound as they arc in appear aEce. They consist of large cylinders full of water. These slide one into the ether, and are moved by d chain on a. pulley attached to fixed bar. The nlt,si- cal box is placed at the top of this ar rsngement.
 The bird organ produces a plaintive and montonous sound resembling that of water rolling over bed of rocks and of wind signing through trees. It seems that tEese sounds have the effect of tam- ing the birds and making them amenable to discipline.
 The walls of the "classrooms' are DC curied by lines upon lines of cages. The rupils are grouped in classes, according to their degrees of education. Those that possess weak or defective voices or have false methods of warblng are the objects of special attention
 Birds that .>s-e made successful be- ginning are put lnder the persuasive in fiuence of the finer bird organs, which are worked by electricity and are remark able for the richness and perfection of their tones. Whenever pupil IS consid- cred worthy of it he receives individual tuition the best artists thus produced afterward becoming teachers tot new ar rivals.
