Observations Of the habits of the
English sparrow made by the biologi-
cal survey show how living things
adapt themselves to many varying
conditions so as to make the most of
their surroundings, and then become
the victims of other changes that do
not at first sight seem to concern them
at all. The bigds brought to the At
lantic coast of this country several
generations ago spread rapidly all
over the land, but stuck tenaciously to
the cities. The spreading flocks did
not stop at international boundaries,
but have been traced by the survey OBJ
servers both into Canada and Mexico.
The cold of the former country has
brought about almost a complete
change of habits. The emigrants to
Canada have become more thrifty,
build much warmer nests than their
cousins south of tue International line,
and have even taken to building in
hollow trees, practice not common
among the sparrows either in central
and southern states or in England.
The sparrows that have gone into
Mexico, on the other hand, have taken
to building light nests, and lead dis
tinctly subtropical existence.

AMERICAN CROPS NEEDED.

The visible supply of wheat in the
countries which figured most in the
worlds grain trade is so much larger
than usual that it looks ominous to
those whose interests are on the side
of high prices for breadstuffs, says
Cleveland leader. The margin carried
over from the old crop year to the new
may be 100,000,00O bushels greater
than it was last year. But it is a
gross mistake to suppose that such
surplus means glutted market for
the bread grains of the white mans
world. The present promise of the
winter wheat crop of this country is
for yield of 155,000,000 bushels less
than the quantity harvested in 1915.
That fact alone more than offsets the
larger surplus carried over from one
crop year to the next. There is good
reason to believe that by the end of
the spring wheat harvests next fall the
statistical position of the wheat mar
ket will be stronger than it was last
September. There cannot be too much
grain grown this year in the United
States. However generous the Amer
lean crops may prove the world viii
want them all and the need is likely
to be urgent.

The great American sin is profan-
ity. The use of profane language is
not confined to the street loafer, to the
thug or the sot; men who move in
good society, business men of stand
ing and reputation, young men and
Old men, and even boys of tender age
are addicted to this inexcusable habit

une. There is nothing more disgust
