Pugnacity at Bottom,
of All Birds Songs

In an illustrated lecture on 1.-THE
Language Of Birds" at the Royal in
stitute in London, Prof. ]. g. Patten
said the language Of birds was Of
three different types; alarm notes, call
notes, and song proper. The alarm
notes, associated with combat. did not
carry as far as the song, but were
often very piercing.
The song was built up Of notes rap
idly put together, and the call notes
were the call of the helpless young
asking for their parents or Of birds
when mating. The song Of bird
was not sympathetic or thanksgiv-
ing outburst; 1t was essentially asser-
tive, declaring I'm here" with an
undercurrent of rivalry or pugnacity.
Two robins would sing at each other
before fighting, and sing again after
coming to grips.
No bird sang SO well as the black
bird from the point Of view Of time
and rhythm and the fact that he had
q motif in his song. The thrush was
always in the limelight and could sing
16 hours out of the "a at a stretch.
The blackcap had short, bubbly note.
The gray linnet has the most beau
tiful voice. A bird was never shy
when singing, and he would sing under
the most adverse circumstances.
The department Of a bird when
singing offered an object lesson to hui
man singers; the head was held well
up and the voice came right out Of
its throat. The best singers all had
somber plumage.

GOOD" Indians

The expression, "the only good In
dian is q dead Indian" Is said to have
originated about the time Of Grants
peace policy toward the Indians. In
the enlisted personnel, great num-
Der of the men were against this pol
icy, because the Indians manner Of
killing was so narrowing. A state
ment was made to the effect that
among the Indians there are some
good Indians, and reply that was re-
peated from one man to another was
that "The only good Indian is a
dead Indian" There seems to be no
record of the person who first made
the remark.

that had adorned her at all social
