Voices of Birds.

There is nothing more remarkable i'll
this interesting class of animated be-
ings than the voice. The scream of
the eagle 1900 feet in the air. and
thus more than three miles distant,
may be distinctly heard. and the calls
of fiocks of storks and geese, beyond
the reach of sight and equally remote,
are often audible. And these wonder
full powers of voice are infinitely diver
sified in their expression and use, from
the simplest call to the most compli-
Gated and elaborate song.

The Bitter End.

The word bitter in this expression
does not imply what appears at first
glance to be the meaning. 1t is de-
rived from the nautical term bits or
bits a frame of two pieces of tim
Der located in the fore part of the ship
for the purpose of holding the anchor
cables. Accordingly the bitter or the
bitt end of the cable is the end fas-
tened to the bits. and when a cable is
out as far as it will go it has reached
it's bitter end
AS a consequence when anything has
reached the last extremity we say that
it has come to the bitter end.
