No Martins returns» in 1904 or 1901i. However itia always policy to provide nest boxes which meet the nonditi-‘ns, partly, by pr:- viding shelter at least. The Weilcsley bird box, dblitlbttd in these notes s few weeks are, is easily constructed and very efficient. The pamphlet “Bird Boxes and their Occupants," by Prof. nvsrner, may be had, free, from the Department 0! tho Inm- lor, Ottawa, it contains many plans and illustrations and should be in every School library.

Like all living creatures. birds are subject to epidemics. This is not noticed in the case of the smaller birds but it may be recalled that the Cmw-blaekbirds (Grackles) were decimated s couple of years e30, by some mysterious malady. In the U. S. A. they were seen to falter and drop whilst in flight, and being large their» dead bodies were frequently found.

Other fatalities which are beyond our control are instanced by birds flying against telephone and tele- graph wires, steeples and lighthous- es, the flatter usually at night. The writer, whilst walking on the South sidis of the Hiilsboro Bridge was startled by a swallow dropping at his feet. ‘The bird was almost decapi- tated. having flown into the tele- phone wires. The lighthouses rlngini! the British Isles are noted for their great destruction of birds during the annual migrations. The birds dash at the lights. like moths at a lamp and hundreds are found dead each morning.

Coming to those enemies over which man has control, it is prob- able that no other mammal can rival the domestic oat as a bird kil- ler. When the young birds specially (though both old and young are taken) are first from the nest, they are inexperienced and readily be- come s. prey to the killer; and the change of diet is s0 Bimtifylng after the winter fare of rats and mice. that the cat neglects all other food for this. There are altogether too many vagrant cuts that get no food except by their own efforts, and therein lies the danger to bird life. Rocognizing this, some farseeing folk have penned up their eats for the summer months, but alas, such people are on a hopeless minority. A very simple expedient, that of tying a small bell to the oat/s neck, is equally effective. In Europe, tiny bells. something smaller than a thimble are sold for this purpose. As the cat stalks its prey, the bell gives warning of its‘ presence. Oi’ course the humans owner will take care to

Our common squirrel is another

beast with an ill reputation-un-

doubtedly deserved. A young ao-

quslntance-one of the very few in-

terested in natural history-told ine

of a squirrel attacking a robin's nest:

he climbed to the nest and found the

young birds with they-heads eaten

given in books, that the squirrel is

fond of eating out the brains of

young birds. During the animal's

breeding season, when it feels thel need of “meat scrap." it takes both

eggs and nestling-s. ' '

One wouid- scairceiy suspect our

varieties of field mice of bird-eating,

as only about 5 per cent. of their‘ food is of animal mutter. But when-i

ever their numbers increase so that their food supply is threatened, they readily feed on dead animals, birds and eggs. Fortunately we have still numbers of owls which keep these annuals from inordinate increase.

The skunk, which appears to be increasing in the provinm, is also accused of eating bird's eggs, but it is difficult to verify this.

The preceding parHBTB-Phs give s. partial list of those animals which prey 0n the birds, eggaand young. In the countries to the south of us, it must be remembered, there are many other kinds waiting to take toll when the birds go back.

Further consideration of this sub~ ject will be undertaken in another article. »

Berlenbach in Pitifui Comeback Attempt.

On the balmy summer evening of July 26, 1926, Paul Berienbach, then light-heavyweight champion of all the world, fought a sizzling, brilliant 15-round bout with Jack Delaney. The scrap was held in Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, and tens of thousands of

Grazing animals often trample the nests of such birds but nothing practical has ever been suggested to combat this.

'.i‘he weasel, common enough here, but‘ rarely seen, is not so destructive as is seneraiiy supposed, but the ruffed grouse, both in the adult and the chick state, is often attacked. Weeaels have been known to hunt

persons watched the fight. Berlen- baoh was paid something in the neighborhood of $125,000 for his ef- ‘forts. On the rainy evening o1 March 31, 1901, or nearly five years after the Delaney affair, Berlenbach returned to a Brooklyn ring for a four-round bout with one Eddie Clark, tenth- flight negro heavyweight. The bout was held in the little Broadway Arena and less than 2,000 light fans attended . Berlenbach making the first. step towards what he described as a come-back, was paid an even $40 for his efforts. At that he was overpaid by some- thing liko s25, for the Berlenbaoh of
