CATS AND BIRDS.

1f cots in Massachusetts really Kill
as many as 100000 birds In q season.
as the state commissioners OF nsner-
,os and game estimate in their annuai
anneal to cat owners, there is surely
Justice and point in their appeal Tor
tho nrotection of birds from cats, for
each insectivorous bird devours many
thousands Of insects, and the removal
Of SO many birds means an increase
Of the insect population by untold mil
lions. Never in the history OF New
England was the insect pest SO bur
densome and so menacing as it Is now,
and any agency which tends to make
the pest still greater constitutes pup
lie danger. the account Of the state
with the harmless, necessary cat IS
not. however, summarily closed by
the statement Of the commissioners.
If cats catch wild insectivorous birds
they also catch a good many birds that
are not insectivorous, or but sparingly
so, SAYS Boston Transcript. Cats prey
heavily, and probably chiefiy- SO far
as birds are concerned, on the English
sparrow, which does more harm than
it does good by driving away native
birds: and, incidentally, cats prey on
rats, mice and moles.. thereby estab'
fishing an item Of credit for themselves
in the account. If we extermfnated
the cats altogether, we might lose at
one end of the line more than we gam
ed at the other.

The latest suggestion toward max
ing over" a climate deals with that OF
eastern Canada, which many people
think would be improved If it were
made milder. R. T. Elliott, a Cana
dian engineer, thinks such a change
could be brought about by closing
Belle Isle straits. Among the results,
in his opinion, would be that Montreal
would become an open port during
the whole year, the banks Of the st.
Lawrence would be in perpetual bios
som Of flowers and shrubbery, and, In
cidentaiIy,, people all the world over
would long to live there. AS an engl-
neering problem there seems no rea'
son to doubt that the straits could be
closed, although at an expense which
Canada might not care to assume just
at this time. Whether the seasons
would be so greatly changed is another
matter, not conclusively settled by
theoretical probabilities.
