SOUTH JERSEY'S SONG AND E INSECTIVOROUS BIRDS With the tenth of Nevember, came tb-- legal jH-rmission for sportsmen, gun- * ners and shooters to sdlly forth to slay h certain so-called game birds and ani- 1 male, which at other times' of the year * receive the protection of the State and ' the Federal Government. The desire to kill is an inherent one v -nd rinre the age of primitive man, * when success in the chase meant free- 1 dom from the insistent pangs of hunger, f all mankind feels a thrill of joy at the 1 mere prospect of securing game and a 8 peculiar pride in the weapons used. ^ To attempt to overcome that feeling so ^ deeply rooti-d in the very fibres of the 0 masculine— and sometimes the female — * breat would be sheer folly, but with the 1 advance of civilization and the subse- 1 1 qucnt knowledge of the economic value j 8 of bird life is behooves us — the "com- J I mon people," or the "mass," as you will, . 1 to observe the laws as written by our!" representatives in tile legislature who j c really do something else beside stump ] the several districts soliciting the excr- i rising of our franchise for their especial ; ' benefit, and at the same time lay down ! ' and follow some home made laws, but ^ to the "Nutshell" where all things are j 1 t kept in the briefest spaca possible. j r The wfeeacres have asserted that ' r history repeat* itself and if that is i 1 true wc are safe in predicting that with j the dawn of November first thousand* ! 1 of men and boy* elad in brier proof I "khaki" and carrying vnrkjus brands ' of shooting irons sallied forth to ' kill. Fine! Nothing is more invigorat- f - set or conducive to good health (of the ® -hooter) than a day's tramp thru 'the * field* and woods, just now showing the I most beautiful effects from the deft * brush of autumn, and if rabbits, quail, 1 pheasant*, squirrel, etc., were the, only 'v sufferers we would have no tale to tell ; ' but. that desire to kill something, game 1 if game there is —but kill, is the cause | of attack. Sportsmen never kill that which the ' laws forbid slaying and kill only in the ' open season, giving the game a fair ' shovi for life at that, and never are 1 1 guilty of potting "Brc'r Rabbit" in his I bed or of shooting birds except while it | ] is on wing nor of shooting into a squir- 1 rels nest, "for luck." If all shooters were sportsmen there would be little , need for laws, for his game bag would , , never Contain more game than he couJdSi use or present to his immediate friends j) and his purse would never be the rich- . | or because the markets were paying | fifty cents a pair for rabbits or seventy- 1 five cents a braee for woodcock, and 1 1 one of his chief joys is the bay of his j bound or the "point" of liis setter. I The gunner is the chap who is not - so strict of the sportsmnn'* ethics and | who is not adverse to killing so long as : 4 game can be found and wlio^connts the j market man his liest friend who will ; pay! the largest price for the spoils of a day's or week's hunting, regardless of j "No Trespassing" signs. And the shooter! He Is the greatest enemy of the farmer, himself and the j State, that carries a gun. The shooter] shoot* for the joy of shooting and it | matters little what the object is just so he can burn jiowder and bring it to the | earth. To hi*, too often expert, aim 1 r falls the robin, flicker, woodpecker,) thrasher, lnrfc. song sparrow, finch and a hundred and one of the feathered to friends of the farmer and all mankind. ,, The economic value of these birds can ,9 hardly be estimated and their slaughter is incxcu*eable even at the hand of the stripling who should be taught the rndi- ' ments of true sportsmanship before he ^ ever pulls a trigger, and the learning of those rudiments will be the start "' toward the finer manhood. I-ack of space forbids going Into details hut one or two examples will suffice. Because the most useful and beneficial of our insectivorous, and song birds must of a necessity follow the haunts <tf mankind for their food, they are the first and greatest sufferers at the hands of the thoughtless and indifferent gunner. The meadow lark, common with its sub-species all over the United States and a part of Canada, is ^ ' one of those suffering most while as a preventitive to the increase of the grasshoppers there is no other bird his equal. Beetles, bugs, flies, wasps and spiders most all of which are harmful to crops in one way or another arc the other insects contained in the lark's stomach. The other percentage of his food is made up of - seeds of noxious weeds. Apart from his value to the farmer this bird is one of the few that does not migrate and so cheers the long snowy winter days with his fearless and lov. abb- manner, approaehiug within a few feet of man in his search for aeod*. and even with tb? snow on the E ground this bird fnvjuently find* insect* as many stomachs of bird* killed have disclosed to the investigators.

OF WATER PRESSURE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA The question has often been raised whether ships or other objects sunk at^ s:a reach the bottom, or whether after r. aching a certain depth they float aiout, without sinking further, due ta the pressure of the water. To this, scientists answer, that anything that wi:l sink to the bottom of r tumbler 1 will practically sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. This Is true, at least for all substanoce more compressibla than water, and there is proof of thia statement in the fact that the what* floor of the ocean is strewn with tha delicate calcareous and siliceous sheila of organisms which once lived on tha surface. Much discussion of thia question appeared in t£e public prints at the time of the sinking the Titanic, .as she went down in very deep water, I practically raid-ocean. Experts arc of 'the opinion that this vessel now lies the bottom in a very little changed condition, only those part* of tjjs structure being imploded into which water : could not cuter rapidly enough to equalire the pn-ssure on the two sides, say I of an iron plate. As this vessel sank and deeper, the corks in all hot- " I ties would be driven in. if such were | not quite full, and ultimately every hermriirxllv sealed chamber or recess would be imploded or hurst in. • An experiment to prove this statci ment ««i made on tin- Challenger Ex-l*-dit>on in 1873. when two thermometer* were sent to the bottom in 357$ and collapsed, owing to the great pressure. Three glass tubes were then taken of diffenent calibers and waled at both ends. These were wrapped in a cloth and enclosed in a cylindrical copper case, having the ends pierced, iii order to permit the free passage of water. AVlun immersed at a depth of 2599 fathoms, the case upon taken up. looked as if it bad been struck in the middle with a hammer. This experiment was repeated in 3,00# fathoms, and the case was again ident- _ cd at that portion occupied by the sealed -glass tube which was reduced to powder.- The Marine Journal. * MORE ABOUT THE SHORT COURSE IN AGRICULTURE I Domestic Science.

In* connection with the annual Far»- . era' Week which is to be held at the New Jersey Experiment Station from December 28 to January 2, there will be j, discussions on the method of growing e alfalfa in New Jersey. y Alfalfa as a staple crop is now bet yond the experimental stage in New ■_ Jersey, and farmers in almost every sec- . tion of the State are coming to know c ita value in the general system of farm s croP"a Mr. H. W. Jeffere, who is manager e of the Walker-Gordon Dairy Farm at g Plainsboro, N. J., wh^re 476 acres of d alfalfa were grown during the past seaA eon, will speak at 1050 on Tuesday c morning. December 29. giving his experg ience* in raising alfalfa. Inasmuch as lg 1900 tons of alfalfa were this year takg en from this farm, this figure being an c average of four tons per acre on the t 475 acres, it is unnecessary to say that Mr. Jeffers will have something of value (j to give the farmers of New Jersey conn cerning the raising of alfalfa.
