CLARK. (Associate Member American Ornlthol-oglotUnion ) (Copyright, Joseph B Bowles) s Scraping acquaintance with the birds is not the difflcult matter it is thought to be by persons whose mental impressions of featheied life are those left by the sight of a staitled biid scui lying away befoie the bound of approaching footsteps. As a matter of fact there are many of these, our little brothers of the Tlie house wren is a singer, however, and to those who object to having their morning naps distuibed the wien becomes something of a nuis ance. The brown thrasher is apt to bo timid, save when the love of its conqueis Its fer and makes it willing to dare any danger that threatens Prof. Dearborn of the Field Columbian museum caged a fledgeling brown thrasher in older to save it from marauding cats. The cage was hung where the mother thrasher could see its baby behind the piison bars. Tho old bird flew Instantly to the little one with food, and fed it daily between the cage whes until its charge was strong enough to fly and to sing it is defiance to Tom and Tabby, the to that needless say jonng peihaps one was released to join its parents the inbtant that its wing power was developed In recent jears the barn swallow (ehelidon erj throgabter), one of the commonest birds of the country has been invading the cities.

It was a barn swallow which made a bin! lover of at least one present day am per of tho fields. Let him be nameless, but he was led Into the wajs of considering tho birds by a barn swallow which as an unthinking boy he had bhot at and wounded. Tho tip of the bird's wing was struck. The swallow was not injured severely enough to cripple it, but the feather at the wing's tip turned and drooped, leaving the bird so mftiked that its identity would be unmistakable until the feather was shed with the next molting. The swallow felt the sting of the shot and Instantly turned and circled about the head of the boy, who fondly thought he was a sportsman. The bird off-spii- dis-tiict- If you wish the wrens company nail its little house to the side of a building or place it upon a polo in the jard.

The English sparrow is the wren's arch enemy, but the lit tie fellow can take caie of itself if the sparrow be unable to get into the home and destroy the eggs Luckily tho wren can slip into a hole which is barely large enough for the entrance of the sparrows head.

At this writing one wren younger but equally well known ornl husband is spending his time while thoiogists on the other as to the cause of the birds fear of man. One said the fear is instinctive and consequent ly always existed. The other said It is the result partly of the teaching of the young by the parent birds, and partly of inherited timidity inherited only through those generations of the feathered race which have been in contact with naan and have learned that he is to be dreaded. There is no intention here of taking part in the discussion, but it may be said that pioneers entering a country where no man befoie has set foot have found that some of the biids paid no more attention to the human intruders than they did to the deer of the forest Let a bird, no matter how wild its na ture, learn by actual experience that you mean it no harm and you may get upon as friendly a footing with it as you are with the family cat. There Is no one, be he urbanite or suburbanite, who cannot have his bird friends about him if he so will.
