Th# bulletin will b<> profusely illus ,1 ratedy picturing wild goon e, wild swsua, snipe, plover, woodcock* wild pigoona, brant, and other migratory and Insectivorous birds which beucoforth are to receive protection from the fedral government under r egulatlonn to bo formulated by the department of agriculture. The bill proponed by Henalor Mc Lean, of Connecticut, together with those presented to the house by Kopreeontutlvcs Weeks, of Maaaa-* ? buwot fa, and Anthony, of Kansas, In b;u*ed upon l he. fact that the lack ? i uniform bird protectl vo legisla tion thruoul the country 1h respon ftlble for t he enormous decreaae and ?eon thn t hrentouod extinction of many species of blrdn that make ?tlgrntory passages north and south oAcb year. It In of ifo use for one atabe to pass protective laws ho long hh In another state, possibly "even during the mating and hatching TMiaofj , there ia no law protecting that Mime bird. The panning, of a federal law upon thla .subject waa ?pponed by many who coualder It ** infrlngemoul_JUMdL-S-tato'a rlghta to giro the federal government ju risdiction over a matter which, aoino claim. should reat outlnMy with the individual states. A numbre of de- j oUlonw or different courts are to t ho offset that the migratory and wild game birds belong t(o the whole' aatiou and not. to the citizens of j *?y state through which they may | ?banco to pass, and it. la thosH decis ions which eonatll ute the recogniz ed authority for the now bill. ' Tlnj onforeement of this new bill is to be brought about by the ap pointment of Depuiy United Stales Ma'ishals to do the work. Already hundreds of thouHanda of dollars are being paid out by the different ? latin; for t lie support of these game wardens, and the frderal mar shal could go with them and cn-op roate with them for the good ot ibe game Interests of the country. 'Ilio sum of $ 1 0,0 OU has been appro priated as ;? ^beginning fur this new protective work.

Senator Hoot already h as brought the matter for ward by. his resolution uathorlzlng %4?? president of the United States "to propose to the govrenmenta of ?titer North American countries the negotiation of a convention "or the mutual protection and preservation ? f migratory birds," and it is hoped ibat the movement soon will extend hh to include botth Central and South America. -Xuxerioa has fallen pathetically be hind Europe in this respect. As tar back as 1S70 Kuropo was threat Mod with the extinction of a num ber of species of migratory birds so that, In 18 7:?. a congress of agricul turists and foresters was called In ?ienna. This convention passed a resolution requesting the Imperial Austrian government to secure the protection of birds by means of treaties with other countries of Ku rope. In 1S75 Germany, Austria and Italy entered into a joint agree ment for the protection of birds. Since that time four ornithological congresses have been held in Ku rope, and there is now in existence an international agreement consist ing of eleven articles forming a code for the protection of birds, which h(is been ratified by eleven - 10 u ro j rtfnrw ovs. From a practical as well as an aesthetic and humane standpoint the protection of birds Is Important for the bonefit of the nation.

The friends Of the birds have spared no pains to Investigate such birds as have been charged with be ing enemies of the farmers, For years Hie king bird has been con sidered on enemy to the honey bee and because of that charge has been banished from many communities by the persecution of school boys. An Investigation of this eharge recent ly has been made by a scientist who examined tho contents of the sto machs or crops of no less than (556 king birds. About One-tenth of the contents was vegetable; fully one half was of recognizable insects, in cluding grasshoppers, rose beetles, -boll .wei'vlln, pottt-fn ? trrrgsr ? caterpil-"" lars and kindred other pests, This bird shows a predilection for the blister bug or lueloldae. These in sects contain a drug skin, produces j other physiological symptoms. The blister bug apparently does not In- j jure the king bird, however, fori bugs wore found- In no less than i seventy of the stomachs that were examined. Another insect noted wa the robberfly which is about three times the size of the ordinary honey bee. This robber, attacks the honey laden bee, kills It and appropriates I the honey, Ilonwy' bees were found in only twnty-two of the king birds, examined .and most of these were drones. So, instead of being ;ui enemy, the king is really tho pro tector and friend of the honey bee.

Lold Yuiiiuh Shome having led the tribe who crossed the lowlands below the j mouth of the Illinois, carrying their canoes on their heads from tho Mis sissippi to the Missouri, and thus | giving the name to the historic old French twon, Portage des Sioux.
