is amazing how far off the seemingly feeble voice of jiny grouse or curlow can, be heard, None knew better than White of Selborne that 'birds have a very defibits language for the benefit and convenience of each species, and also for communicating a common danger. I proved this in amusing fashion by putting a stuffed owl close to the nests of swallows, wraps, and blackbirds, all of which contained greedy little ones..

THE BLACKBIRD's language.' The blackbird's ringing "Spink, spink, spink!" is capable of all kinds of subtle vari.. ations. It says "Good-night" and "Good- morning" with it, but its neighbours pay little heed. Should a cat stealthily approach a favourite rådst about bed time, however, out ring its mates loud and fast as a fire alarm, and every feathered colonist is instaptly alert.

Tà thể lonely, Island of St. Kilda, in the Outer Hebrides, the vast flocks of gannets. breeding on the rocks have a sentinel to keep watch at night, while the rost sleep. Strange. ly enough, precisely the same system obtains among great herds of elephant and antelope, in Central Africa. The sleeping gannets are captured by fowlers in the night, and wary, jo, deed must they be to delude the sentinel bird. The slightest movs of a dislodged stone on the face of these precipices, and up rises) tha sen- i tinel bird, with his loud "Beero, beerol" | Ip such event the fowler remains quite still, with cap draws over bis face, and body lightly pressed against the cliff face. After awhile the sentinel imagines he is mistaken, and calls out, "Gortak, gorrak!". which evidently means, i "All is well, friends; sorry I troubled you. Go to sleep again." But, should the intruder be betrayed, the entire colony take wing into the night, uttering angry cries of "Beera, harro, bool"

Many have heard the astonishingly plain "Go back, go back" of the grouse; and the male bird's emphatie "Cock, cock; cock!" as a signal to be off when danger threatens. These birds are most talkative an a inth October morning, but have little to say if the day is. going to turn out wel,

Special call notes are used for keeping fami- lies of birds together while hunting for insects| among foliage and branches-and the long- tailed tits signal to each other all day long by the low sweet liple "See, sec, see!" The

language of some species is most unexpected.

Thus the common buzzard will circle high overhead while its asst is being rifled, uttering a cry like the mewing of a cat, The turtle dove's note is like a frog's croak, and the kiss of one of the tits, allting on its dest in a bole le the tree, is so “snakelike that many a boy has ben frightened away from it.
