THE CANARY AND HIS VOICE

try inhabit thickets. vineyards and open
country bordered by trees. At times
during fall and winter great focks are
found together. They feed on seeds
and small fruits in season and in their
wild state nest early in the spring ana
rear two broods a season.
The canary is a very adaptable little
bird. and their biographer says that
they seem to thrive in any climate
where not exposed to too severe
weather conditions, and, in spite of
the long period they have been pro-
tected and held in captivity. they are
capable of enduring a surprising de-
gree of cold when hardened to it. In
England it is not unusual to find them
in outdoor aviaries throughout the year.
They also seem. he says. to be able
to re-establish themselves in wild
state under favorable conditions. In
1909 a brood of domestic canarieS was
released on Midway Island, a small.
sandy islet in the Hawaiian group. BY
1914 they had increased until it was
estimated that they numbered about
1oOo
There are 4 large number of varieties
of the domestic canary. Many of them
are bred primarily for their song. and
their training makes an interesting
story. The aim is to produce males
with clear, soft, pleasing songs with
long rolls or trills, and no attention
is given to other characters. These
birds are usually nondescript as to
color and appearance. The young birds
when fedged are put in rooms. with
birds noted for their soft and nne
song, and here. through imitation. they
develop their own vocal accomplish
ments Any bird developing harsh
notes is removed SO that he may not
endanger the vocal success or MS
brothers. 1t is said that mechanical
instrument known as bird organ
which produces liquid trills. is fEe-
auently used in training the birds. The
musical course for 4 canary covers
about six months tuition and practice.

asked him how 1t was possible for him
to know the Tallapoosa was coming
out when he could not say in which

ter, I just noticed all the small craft

IN HE canary bird is a member OF
II numberless American households.
q In every household where he
lives he is the member of greatest i'm
portance, if one Judge from the solici-
tude with which he is treated. There
is no way oAarriv:ng at an estimate of
the canary bird population of the United
States. but more than three and quar-
ter millions of canaries were brought
into the United States between the
years 1906 and 1916. an average OF more
than 800. 900 birds a year. Most OF these
came from Germany, but some were
imported from England. In England
and Germany there were hundreds OF
canary breeders and many avicultural
societies before the war. Several pc
riodicals dealing solely with cage plros
were published there, and IN the large
cities bird exhibitions were heid an
nually. ..
So many letters to the Department OF
Agriculture were received asking Tor
information on the care OF canarles lii
sickness and health that Alexander
Wetmore. assistant bioi1gis1 ei ,ne connseI o
with p. w. Nelson. chief of that office.
wrote a treatise on the care, manage
ment and history of canaries, Wnlcn
was issued as a bulletin by the depart
ment. The subjects dealt with include
such practical questions as style of
cages and their sanitation. batnlng,
mott and food, special foods for deep

canaries in captivity, caring Tor 1rac-
tured legs and wings, treatment OF ols,
eases and such ailments as loss OF
feathers. T.

hours. arrived with him at the La
Chapelle station in Paris
Here again the American Ambulance
men were in evidence. 1t being rec
ognized fact that the American volun-
teer drivers and stretcher men handle
the wounded with more efficiency and
gentleness than do any others. the cniet
of the sanitary service of the Paris
zone has put the unloading OF sanitary
trains entirely in their hands.
This can easily be understood. as-au
the able bodied Frenchmen are at tho
front, and the men who remain IN the
rear to do stEetcher work are mostly
stunted or physically UNFIT relicts. /
assure you that it is no easy job to
transfer badly wounded man from his
stretche- in railway car to a fresn
stretcher and again to load him into
an automobile ambulance without jar
ring and humping him around. 1t re-
quires infinite patience and no mean
physical strength.
The train pulled into Paris at ESQ.
but the ambulances were waiting.
The wounded. each with red tag bear
ing his identification number and a
short history of his wound. were lined
UP on their stretchers in the big wait

workers served them cooling bever-

at the hospital in Neuilly. At the gate
of the hospital he was welcomed by

dressed his wounds, after which he was

and is done by means of complicated
apparatus recently invented.
Imagine putting man who has per-
haps a dozen wounds in different parts
of his body into bath tub and wash
ing him thoroughly without wetting
his bandages.
From the bath Tex was assigned to
ward 67 being tucked into the first
clean bed he had lain in since the be
ginning of the war
All, That comfortable feeling that
stole over him-his body clean, his sur
roundings immaculate and noiseless, his
mind free from the tension of wonder
ing if each moment was to be his last.
Having heartily partaken of th9 light
supper served him by softfvoiced
American nurse. Tex fell asleep.
That night he dreamed of little girl
he had known. who used to put sharp
stones in her shoes so as to be able to
enjoy the relief she felt when she took
them out. He had ridiculed her then.

The Terror of the Seas
Now, this is the tale that was told to me
By rollicking, roaring son of the sea.

leaned back in his Morris chair. you
real dangers in the briny deep in my
time. And they were only little less
serious than those of today. While
submarines were not known then, there
were vessels which seemed Instructive
ly to be bent on doing damage to other
craft. Among them was the U. S. S.
Tallapoosa, whose reputation as a ma
rine menace was second to none.
THE old Tally. a numbering side
wheeler of civil war vintage, was used
as a freight carrier and. upon occa-
sions of state. as the presidential yacht,
she made more or less irregular trips
from the Washington navy yard to 9TH
er stations along the Atlantic coast
SO capable was she In getting into
trip without side-swiping, ramming or
running down some peaceful coal
schooner off the Jersey coast; and as
far as river craft and small sailing YES
sells were concerned, they were her eS-
pecial prey.
Court followed court, and board of
Investigations followed board of inves-
LEGATIONS, and so serious a matter was
it considered to be placed in charge of
the old Tally that more than one Off
Ger resigned or sought retirement upon
receipt of orders to take command of
her.
AT last. driven to desperation by its
inability to obtain a captain for the
ship. the Navy Department dug out
from the list of suspended officers old
Commander Blank, who had already
lost two ships. possibly in the hope that
he might do something In this way with
the old Tally
However. Capt. Blank took his ap-
pointment as sign of restoration to
official favor. and determined that no
effort en- his part should be spared to
show those in authority that their con-
fidence had not been misplaced.
New York and having spent several
hours in laying down the law to all
hands collectively and to the officers
individually as to what they should do
at sea, he commanded that, no matter
how. bad or good the weather might
be- he was to be called at once to take
the deck whenever stranger was
sighted So the Tally cast off her
moorings one foggy morning and start
ed on her irregular trip to Washington.
