Reputation and luck.

Nobody gifted with q sense Of hu-
NOR can fall TO be diverted by the
Pucklike manner in which luck makes
and unmakes regulations for business
ability. A score Of years ago gem
tleman named Jennings was an extern
sive owner Of downtown real estate
in Chicago. He was the first. ! be-
lieve. to develop on large scale
the modern system Of the ninety-nine-
year lease whereby the owner In
sures himself and his heirs for a CEN
tury an absolutely fixed rental. free
and clear Of all charges. After Mr..
Jennings had leased a lot of his lands
for ninety-nine years depression
came on. Other peoples incomes
were curtailed: but his was stable.
what foresight!'' said the town.
what sagacity! What superb BUSH
ness Judgment" Mr.. Jennings views
en- the business situation and outlook
were eagerly sought. The depression
passed; realty prices advanced Inn
mensely; the Jennings lots could
have been leased at twice the rental
named In the old indentures. The
town shook its head alphabetically
over poor Mr.. Jennings's deDiorable
Ghort-sightedness.

replied that it made excellent medi-

"A series Of interesting experiments
im which English eparrowa have been
taught to sing sweatly IL recorded BY
Dr.. COnradi. The atm OF the expert
MemAar has been to determine what
are the conditions under which birds
learn and cling to their traditional
notes. For this purpose, Gays the
American Jouxnal OF Psychology. he
has taken very young birds Of ncnmu-
sical species and kept shem entirely
with sOngsteTs, to determine wEathex
they would thus acquire the musical
notes
In July. 1898. he put four fedgling
English sparTows into the nest Of
pair Of singing canaries. Three Of
them died. but the fourth survived.
This one had already acquired q spar
row chirp; but hearing thenceforth
only the notes Of the canary, he went
no further with the language which
was his birthright. Instead he came
gradually when among the canaries,
to give notes different from sparrow
talk. Even when he was silent, IL the
canaries were singing he could be seen
moving his throat, as II he were try
Ing to form the sounds, much as a per-
son often inaudibly follows song
which another is singing. AZ last
these sounds began 10 be audible, and
increasingly 30. He began to give
notes In rapid succession, three or four
tones up the scale, and then repeating
the top note Eve or six times.
Growing holder with practice and
the sound OF his own voice, he soon
INDUCED three or four times In success
sion, with eight to twelve notes in
each; and In the last days Of Septem-
Der, when three months old. he went
up and down and down and up the
scale. all In one run.
All this whiIe his voice had been
changing. AZ flrst It was harsh, as is
natural with English sparr0ws; but
gradually, with the effort or With the
subconncious influence Of the sweeter
sounds about him.. II became softer
and acquired something OF the canary
quality.
At first he sang on low scale and
tried the top notes vainly; but, az his
voice became rnilder he went higher
more easily. He was three months old
when, growing bold. be essayed has
first trill. It was short but musical,
and he evidently liked It, for he re.
peated 1t and continued steadily to
practise It. II was done modestiy,
and after each trill he sat still and APP
peared TO be listening. A year later,
however. hen the report was being
written by the experimenter, ne had
grown to be quite an adept in canary
song. and would trill and sing contin-
ually punctuating his song with COM
piete circles and semi-circles on his
perch.

time. in his first year, from the c@n-
aries. and put him where he heard on

ceased to sing and began to return to
the neglected sparrow tongue, out
when he was again hung with the ca
naries he regained all he had lost in
less than a month.
