last college vacation that hi celebrated old uncle james devrtdge told him in hi blunt quaint way that he waa strongly of the opinion that be philip was a laiy- loafing worthies speci men of humanity and utterly un worthy of being james deriidges sole heir us had been that distinguished mans original intention on lie charge of never having don anything in life that be had not been made to do philip mentioned the fact not at all boastfully but only in self- defense that he had brought down various prise for hi amateur pho tography yes but what vain ba it been plrturo of pretty girl and hone or something of that sort muttered the old scientist if you conld gat photo graphs of birds that would do to illus trate this book ive been working over they might count for something give me a chance challenged the nephew what sort of pictures do yon want bead the manuscript and find eat wss the uncles answer the book la a study of monogamous habit among the bird of eastern north america it is not a popular work at all i doubt if yon can make head or tall of it it requires a aclentlflc point of view and that you dont possess til try it said the nephew and the day after work- at college was over he started off to a little cabin in the northern mountain country of new england where his uncle had in year past don considerable observation of bird life there to bet the photograph yxe uncle bad assured him he couldnt get philip waa perfectly confident of his lenses and his enmeras and his photography the thing that troubled blm was knowing what sort of pic tures to take for the first three day of bl stay in the wood country he read the duplicate manuscript hla uncle had given him frankly he wa net ry moch encouraged then be yearned for a letup of hi solitude and with characteristic blunt- dees asked the old countryman who drove the stage that passed hla door twice a day whether there were any nice glfls in to neighborhood there is only one goodlooker said the old man who itemed to have made care ful observations and shes queer ton wouldnt like bar and she wouldnt have anything to do with you neither he uvas alone in the summer in a shack in the wood next to your hes awful qnaar but aba do be good looking vow aha queer queried philip powerful queer that how quaerv kb sometime sets s whole day at a ttaae under a bush in the gully and one day i saen her setting way up in the uptop of tree wall she waa there when i want down in the morning end till there when i come home in the afternoon dont know bow she got there bnt there she wss and he goes around with opera glasses just as if she thought there waa a ahow going on and she whistles and chirrups to herself and well theres no doubt but shes queer concluded theold man with a significant tapping of the side of his own head as if to indicate where tffe l phuto needed no further proof he hileved the ol man had exaggerated the matter bat be bad no doubt of the rounf womans dementia one day while still reading bis uncles manu script hoping to find a clue as to what tls photograph hould be he saw die strang young lady sitting not in the top of one of her own trees but in the top of one of the trees very near tf his own shsck he looked at her from the safety of his aback and then aastunlng s perfectly confident air and s cheerful whistle ventured out and began to walk noisily about the tree ob please tread softly said the strange young lady i think they are settling bsra n this treev if you dis turb tbsm they may go off again please go away wont your phlhp withdraw and did not return till later la the day wfch the young lady de- cenqad very quietly j think they are located she told mm thsy are in the next tree two thrushes i watched them in my own tress sad then they came over here i can watch them beautifully from this ether tree mat i was sitting in i hope son sent mind why please ware yea watching lust these throshesr he asked her and she told him that if he would let bar stay sad eat lunch with him in hi hack lostaiul of having to tramp bank the halt mile to her own she would take time to tell him it was in dti little cabin dining room over a rustic sort of luncheon thai philip prepared for them coffee amoky of aroma but delicious to the appeute sharpened by woods air sliced ham dry biscuits and cheese that the girl explained well yon see i am making a study of monogamy among birds that isi want to get a little data that wll of some value in establishing that tbrushsa either are orbbbt monogamous that is thatjflmo or dont mate for uf aaflrser i worked hartsmajl studied w birds from fn fronl mfhodgsebrekaow bow ton i sat ttas sot to disturb andjjgpmspmeof thatnioqg uttto bracelet en tbrtr juitles i gnew that if the same mrds me- firck to

lest yeak once they- eet settled for nesting lean getcioer b tien and find opt t ton irnow james deyridethe greemsb of all olrdsttideata and ope of tb greatest sclebtviofih day has hiad aep clal study bf thls i read everything he write and- i beard him lecture once he nld that h didnt have anywhere near enough 0rta on the xubject of monogamy and that anyone who would seriously go about it to collect it might feel that she was mak ing a real contribution to science so i made up my mind to do it that is much better than frittering on urns away dancing or loafing at a eammer resort ive got quite a let of data and some day tm going to take it te mr devrldge and tell him it is my contribution to sclaac then you understand what the eld fellow is getting st la these books of htal oh yon indeed hes just finished a new book on bird monogamy i am so impatient to read it it must ba wonderful here la a bargain said philip draining the coffee pot for a last cup of coffee to offer to his companion ill let you read that wonderful book if youll tell me what it 1 about and that led very easily to telling the gui the predicament he was in it was in midsummer that yames devarldge came np te the mountain camp to visit his nephew at least you have stayed hers he said 1 dont know what you have been doing but i thought you would have given up long before this philip lost no time in showing his uncle what he had been doing there were bun dreds of photographs that no eyes save those of philip and alice gurry had ever fallen upon before the nega tives had been developed and the pic tures hid been printed la the shsck of this detail of the process philip was a past master what amazed the uncle was that the pictures were so entirely what he wanted they are the moat wonderful pic ture i have ever seen said the old man tears coming into hi usually hard old eyes it le as if i had sud denly found you my nephew it has always been my grief that no one of my own has been interested in the work i do but you must be interest ed or you could not have don these picture they are as good in their way a anything i ever did a little later alice gerry dressed in her usual treeclimbing attire slipped into the shack and earn straight over to the old mans side tve always longed to meet you she aald with a timidity that indicated her admiration better than any elab orate compliments she might have ex pressed would have done tve been getting together a few notes to give you on my own observations i have always wondered if you would accept them there was just a little disappoint ment in the old mans face ss be took the girl bands into bl then the picture were not my nephews work and you like the other who under stand my work will go away from me and leave me elene i had hoped my nephew took the pictures he did take them tba girl assured him he took every one and took most of them alone i just showed him at first and then be became as s thuslastlc as i and anyway interrupted the nephew who perhaps had never ap preciated his eccentric old uncle ss much before ss be should have allee is going to be your niece we war just waiting to ask your blessing and in truly

rather rough estimates according to the all- gemein ftscherelzeltung soma care ful counts were made last year nt the bavsrtan trout hatchery the first in vestigations were in connection with common trout and rainbow trout 88 specimens of the former and 64 of the latter were stripped and the spawn counted the older and heavier fish wsra found to have the most eggs ranging up to about 8000 but the younger fish yielded a decidedly larg er number of eggs in proportion to the weight of the flab the experiments were repeated with perch perce fluvlatllls in this case the females just about to spawn being killed tad the ovaries being removed and dis sected the number of eggs in perch ranged from 8710 for a fish four inches long up to 80480 for one 103 inches long bnt in this spades also the

takings for the bettpinu nt of road conditions in ontario is the countyprovincial scheme of good roads which is being gradually built up and whiob before long should provide a network of good high w i a all through the province the countyprovintiul roadways are uiuhp to which the govern ment contributes sixtj per cent both of the original cost and the oost of maintenance and they are so named because i in- idea is to have the county highways running all tbrougb the province linking up county by county until they will provide a chain of good high ways all over the province similar to a railway network and will make it possible for a motorist to travel in almost any direotion on improved roads this system stands quite apart from the pro vincial highway towards which the government contributes 70 per cent of cost and maintenance getting down to a oloser analysis while the ontario government contributes 60 per cent of the oost of roadwork on the county system it means that the residents in the oonnties through which the highways pass will not be oalled upon to pay anything like 40 per cent this being due entirely to the fact that the dominion gov ernment recently announced that they would pay 40 per cent of the oost of the construction of 10000 miles of roadway in canada this year with the federal govern ment paying 40 per cent of the costs this leaves 60 per cent to be borne by the province and the oounties forty per cent of sixty works out to 24 per cent which will be the share of the cost of roadway improvement which the counties will be asked to pay on the county systems with the on tario government paying the bal ance of 86 per cent in each county the cost is assessed over the whole area instead of the property owners adjoining the im- proved roads being asked to meet the full taxation credits sustain oiir foreip trade the public hardly realizes the extent to which canadas export trade is dependent on the provid ing of oredits fqr other govern ments since the middle of 1918 oredits amounting to 240000000 have been advanced to the british governmeut as follows imperial munition board 182- 000000 for tbo purohuso of cana dian grain 56000000 for exports of dairy products 86000000 for the sale of the bc salmon pack 800oo0o for other exports of food 10000000 this money ciiruo from tho can adian public in the form of loans out of their savings over 1000000 people in this country bought do minion bonds and thus provided the funds out of which theso ad vanced woro made this practice must be continued if cannda is to get her share of the export trade those who buy wnr savings and thrift stamps supply money for these credits after april 1st arrears of taxes will be sont to the county treasurer to be registered against the properties
