HE SLEEPS ON WINDOW LEDGE
Thousands Watch New Porter Slumber
on Perilous Couch In
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.-Ofiee workers in the
buildings near Broad and Chestnut
streets and thousands of pedestrians In
the street had the chill of their lives
as they watched a man lying on the
ledge Of a window Of the Land Title
building, taking a siesta.
Entirely oblivious to the commotion
he was creating. he slept peacefully
on, his arms outstretched in luxurious
ease, his feet sticking owe the edge Of
the sill from which was a sheer drop
Of forty or fifty feet to the pavement.
His slumbers, however, were soon
brought to an end when repeated teie=
phone calls to the building superintend-
ent's Office told Of the sleeper and his
perilous couch. The man turned out to
be a new porter and John, the head
porter, climbed out, woke him and soon
brought him "back to earth," both
fguratively and physically.

Examination of hundreds of stom-
achs Of birds, taken in different To-
calities and at all seasons, p%ainstaking
scientific observations of the birds
habits by trained experts, have now
for many years been establishing, be-
yond question, the fact that they are
one Of natures most effective checks
IN the undue increase Of insect and
rodent pests.
In the early days, the days before
we had scientific study Of the habits
of birds, the connection In the popu-
lar mind between birds and the SOW
ing Of seed principally took the form
Of speculation as to what proportion
Of the sown seed or its product the
birds would get. Crows and black
birds were observed to pull corn. The
fact that some kernels were left in
the hill uneaten did not suggest to
the farmer that it was the cutworm
that the crows were really after, not
the corn.-B. s. Bowdish, in Chris
