Bishop Isaiah Benjamin Scott, the
only Negro missionary bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church, notified
the subcommittee on Effectiveness of
Bishops CT his intention to retire at
the present session of the general con-
ference. The news caused a stir when
it became known. Bishop Scott, it was
learned, had been in conference with
the subcommittee for several days.
Negro delegates to the conference
upon hearing of Bishop Scott's inten-
ton held a and decided to
propose two candidates, also Negroes.
as Bishop SCOTS successor They
were Rev. DR.. ]. w. e. Bowen of At
lanta, a professor at the Cannon The
illogical seminary, and Rev. DR.. R. e.
Jones, editor of the Southwestern
Christian Advocate. The Negro dele
gates desired Bishop SCOTS success
or to be a bishop with full powers.
The reason given by Bishop Scott
for his request for retirement was
that the health of n of his daugh-
ters will not permit her to live in At
RIGA, where he has been stationed, and
that the enforced separation from
his wife and family, who live In
Nashville, Tenn. makes it undesirable

The old-time cornerstone laying is
about to take its place among the rel.
les and b~ack-number customs, for in
so many of the buildings of the more
modern type the cornerstone has lost
its significance. Its place is being
taken by the driving of the silver rivet.
as was done recently in the 26-story
building being erected at Fo~rty-second
street and Madison avenue, in New
York city. The rivet was driven with
the ceremony that usually goes with
the placing of the cornerstone, and on
the completion of the structure it will
be exposed in a silver box in the wall
of the lobby.

A favorite food of the chickadee consists Of
the eggs of the two species of tent caterpillar
moths which are among the most destructive OF
insects. In winter it eats larvae, chrysalids and
eggs of moths, varied by a few seeds. The
birds bill of fare is made up for the main part
of insects, nearly all of which are known to the
farmer or fruit raiser as pests.
The barn swallow and the purple grackle,
cousin swallows. are familiar to all jewellers in
the country. There are FIVE other common spe-
cies of swallows found within the United States
and all of them are of benefcent life. Swal-
lows take all of their food, or nearly all of it,
while on the wing. Virtually all of the insects
which they destroy are either injurious or an
noying, and the government scientists say that
the numbers of the pests destroyed by swal-
lows are not only beyond calculation, but almost
beyond imagination"
Wordsworth might have asked the American
cuckoo, as he did its European cousin, whether
he should call it a bird or but a wandering voice.
There are two fairly abundant species of cuckoos
in America, the yellow-billed and the black-billed.
Their habits are much alike. These two birds
are ventriloquists. One hears their voices where
they are not. The cuckoos thread their way
through the tangles of branches, gliding after
the manner Of ghosts. The bird eats what most

is called the rain crow. 1t has no place as a
weather prophet, however. for 1t is apt to be

1t must not be thought because ten birds have

work is for the good OF man. The ten excel
