CULTIVATING THE SPAR
ROWS VOICE.

Los Angeles Times: Experiments
have been made in England with a
view to determining what are the
conditions under which birds learn and
cling to their traditional notes. For
this purpose one eXperimenter en-
ployed very young birds of nonmusical
species, keeping them entirely with
SongSters in order to ascertain whether
they would thus acquire the power of
song.
80 In July several years before he had
placed four fledgling English sparrowS
in the nest with a pair Of singing
canaries. Three of them died. but the
fourth survived. This one had al
ready acquired a sparrow chirp, and,
hearing henceforth only the notes of
the canary. he went no further with
the chirp than was his birthright.
Instead, he came gradually, when
among the Canaries, to give notes
different from those of the sparrow.
Even when he was silent. if the can
aries were singing, he could be seen
to move his throat just as if he were
trying to form the sounds. much in
the manner that a person often in
audibly follows a song that another is
singing. At last these sounds began
to be audible and increasingly so. He
began to give notes in rapid succession
three or four tones up the scale. re-
peating the top note five or six times.
Then the sparrow, becoming bolder
with practice and pleased with the
sound of his own voice, soon indulged
three or four runs in succession with
eight to twelve notes in each; and in
the last days of September, when three
months old, he went up and down and
up the scale all in one run.
During this time his voice had been
changing. At first it was harsh, as is
natural with English sparrows; but
gradually with the effort, or with the
subconscious influence of the sweeter
sounds about him, it became softer
and acquired something of the canary
quality.
The sparrows first efforts were
sung on a low scale, and he tried the
top notes vainly; but as his voice be-
came milder, he went higher more
easily. He was about three months
old when he tried his first trill. 1t
was short, but musical, and he evil
IDENTIFY thought pretty well of it, for he
repeated it and continued steadily to
practise it. A year later he had
grown to be quite an adept in canary
song and would trill and sing con-
tinually.
Then, to determine the effect Of as
sociation upon him, the experimenter
removed him for a time in his first
years from the canaries and put him
where he heard only sparrow chatter.
Gradually he ceased to sing and began
to return to his neglected sparrow
tongue: but when he was again put
with the canaries, he regained all he
had lost In less than month.

Evening Grain Letter,

Chicago, July 6,-Wheat: Rather
dull uninteresting session, weak at
times on local selling but rallying
quickly when the pressure was off the
market. There was some business
worked via gulf in new wheat. Hot
weather northwest, but not danger
ously so; looks like more rain. Still
favor long side on depressions.
Corn-Corn strong; big bids here
from British government for imme-
date shipment. Strong probability
that considerable corn will be worked.
Cash higher. Shorts in September
nervous and there is a short interest
in December.
Oats-Oats dull, but not weak I'm
reasonable to expect that oats are 60
ing to decline much. the way corn is
acting.
Provisions-Rather dull offerings;
little freer on hard spots. Present
prices ought to discount bullish fea-
lures on hog products for the time be-
ing and there ought to be opportuni-
ties to buy them cheaper.

New York, June 5.-Manufactu of women's garments and the 6O,O 900 striking or locked aout workers in that trade regard this"as a critical day in the labor strugglet over the open shop system. Some of the employers made preparations to resume operations to- day by beginning the making of samples in which it was said 5000 workers would be needed
 To prevent the strikers or others from going to work, Benjamin Schlesinger, president of the Cloak Makers union, said he would have ten thousand pickets on duty at the doors of the garment factories and if necessary, would call oue all the thirty tthousand strikers as pickets.
 If the strikers can be kept away from the factories until the busy season begins in July, the strike leaders believe they can dictate terms
 Ten thousand strikers reported for duty as pickets and marched up Fifth avenue, took positions in front of es- ta blishments on the avenue and on side streets, where hundreds ofothers later joined them. The strikers maintained a special picket squad in front of the Fifth avenue factory of E. J. Vile, president of the Manufac- turers association

h0rkIn NS"S BURGLARS ENTER
 CARLSON RESIDENCE Gain Entrance Through Window in Pantry Which Is Ransacked SECURE SEVERAL DOLLARS
Believe Job Work of Local Talent Road--F'riday Nights Entertain
naent-Steam Service On Branch.

z
 Burglars broke into the residence Of Adolph Carlson on Warrington Ridge about 1 o'clock this morning and after helping themselves to cake, pie and other light refreshments stole three dollars, which they found opportunely on a pantry shelf. En- trance was gained through a pantry window, but evidence was discovered that they first attempted to gain ad- mission through the side door leading from the front veranda.
 Inmates of the house were awak- ened about l o'clock by the barking of the house dogs, but believing the dogs were paying at passing auto mobile they made no attempt at fn- vestigation. This morning on arising MT. Carlson who sleeps on the first floor discovered that the burglars had visited the pantry with the results above described. Owing to the na- ture of the job and the fact that the sum of money left in the pantry was taken it is believed the burglary was the work of parties familiar with the premises.
 Accident on Swamp Road.
 Two people, a man and woman, were hurled from an automobile early Sunday morning in an accident on the Beech Swamp Road near the residence of Dr. R. M. GrisWold. It was very dark at the time and the automobile was travelling with head lights ex- tinguished. Just before the turn at Upsons Corner, the driver lost his bearings and steering to the side of the road crashed into @ telegrap pole. The lights were demolished and the woman occupant of the car was thrown out and her face was cut and bruised. As the accident happened close to pr. GriswOId's residence little time was lost in securing surgical aid and as soon as possible the party left to continue their journey as the auto mobile was not severely damaged,
