Birds Lose Fear of AlrshIps.

An extraordinary instance OF the In
telligence OF birds forms the subject
of letter received by the French min
istry of agriculture from an inspector
of forests.
Some time ago the inspector re-
ceived complaints from sportsmen
that quail and cartridges had become
scarce in certain districts.
On examining the matter he found
the birds had deserted the regions In
which aerodromes had been installed.
Seemingly they took the monoplanes
and biplanes for enormous birds of
prey.
Finding after some time. however.
that their ranks were not thinned by
the strange creatures lowering over
head, cartridges and quail dispatched
scouts to the aerodromes to examine
the air craft at close quarters.
The result of the Investigations of
these feathered ENJOYS was evidently
reassuring. for the birds returned to
their former haunts and the preserves
around lie Mans and Rheims are now
as well stocked as formerly.
