Continuation of Description by Mr. Garth Cate of an Automobile Trip Through One of the Most
 Interesting Sections of Arizona

In the current issue of "Our Dumb Animais' is an interesting contribu- tion from Dr. w. T. Hornaday on Bringing Back our Vanished Wild Life" One of Americas leading zoologists. he speaks with authority, and it is pleasure to note his views on one phase of the subject He writes, The most charming trait of wild-life character is the alacritv and confidence with which wild birds and mammals respond to the friendly advances of human friends Those who are not very familiar with the mental traits of our wild neighbors may at first find it difficult to com prehend the marvellous celerity with which both birds and mammals re- cognize friendly overtures from man and respond to them I think that there Is not single wild mamal or bird species now living that can not or does not, quickly recognize pro lection. and take advantage of it. Those of us who prefer to hunt with camera and field glass know that Hornaday is right, for it really seems quite wonderful how soon the birC s and animals get familiar around d quiet camp, or how little disturbed they seem to be by the presence of those who prefer living beauty and song to game and mounted spcci- mems.
 There are many birds around the Natural Bridge, each with it's song, the loveliest we thought, being the full sweet scale of the canyon wren. As the twilight fades away, and the big stars flame out like fiery splaShes, the little canyon wren
