The Skylark.
About the first of May 1880, Seventy.
four English Skylarks were let loose'near
lidgewood, New Jersey, by Mr. Hales.
Fifty ottthem kgept together In a close flock.
The rest scattered. They did not mount
up and sing at the first taste of freedom,
but devoted their attention to their physical
wants. The buzzing insects, the enticing
worms and the tender young growing grain
were tidbits too appetizing to be resisted,
and for a few days there was strict atten
tion to business.
Would the larks sing I That was the
question of great interest. A note from
Mr. Hales a few days after their release
settled it. He wrote: "Here it is I The
sanie delightful sound that has inspired
so many poets and charmed the Old World
for ages. As pure and sweet as in his na
tive gray sky. No one who has ever heard
the shrill, thrilling notes, not loud but
very distinct, will ever forget it or fail to
know it.
"After a few day's enjoyment of the
sweets of liberty the birds set about
housekeeping. They stole away by pairs
in the fields, and began nest building.
The males became more and more vocal,
and toared aloft above their setting imates
and poured forth their sweet strains. The
nests hidden In the grass or grain were
not easily discovered, but some of them
were found. They contained four or five
freckled eggs of a greenish gray cast. Like
other nests placed on the ground, some of
them have been visited by cats or other
predatory animals, but in other cases the
eggs have gone safely through the process
of incubat'.on, and the young larks, real
American born skylarks, have appeared.
There is no question that th youngsters
will tatce care of themselves, and barring
acclden a common to all birdlings, reach
maturity.
"Tile crucial test will come witi the
winter. Vill the larks migrate to warmer
clinies and com back another season, or
will they stay and perish with cold? Tliese
tire questions that time will answer. That
the country about Ridgewood-in fact,
nearly all of that part of New Jersey con
tiguous to New York-is well adapted foi
skylarks, there is no doubt. Air. Ite one,
the bird importer, who hits released thou
sands of foreign song birds in the vicinity
of New York in the past quarter ofi a cen
tury, says that the country along the hlack
ensack valley is almost the exact counter
part of the great meadows of Holland,
which are inhabited by millions of sky
larks, and he believes that if the birds could
be protected from hunters, they would
multiply and increase in 1ow Jersey until
they becanie as coninnon as in the Old
World. A lot of skylarks that were freed
in Brooklyn, ninny yeats ago, for several
,winters, it is said, migrated only as far as
8taten Island, and were gradually killed
off. ]Qr. Reiche believes that the larks In
tr'duced hi this country will spend their
winters further South. lie says that he is
satisfied that the larks of England and
Northern Europe, or the greater number
of them go to Italy in winter. lie has
seen myrilads of then in that country,
where they are eaten by the inhabitants.
Ile has no doubt that they are the birds
iromi northern latitules."
Fren01ch Rprig
A brilliant feat of French reporting
happened at the time when the great Trop.
mann mnurder ease was agitating Paris and
France, aid everybody was eager for
details. A reporter who had the matter in
hand left Paris for Cernay, where the
father of Tropinann resided. lie arrived,
called upon the justice of the peace anil
the colmnissairo do police, invited thenm to
follow hun to the nmaiile, took his sent in
the judge's chair, and thero, with Lupalint
lloled audacity, orderedi tihe gtarde chain
p~etre to go and bring before hini the
assassin's father. T1he oflicers did not say
a wordi; the reporter had conquered theum
by his tar andi his demeanor. When the
father of Tropmann was brought before
him, the reporter interrogated huni as
though otielally conmmtissionedi to do so.
'iThe result of the cross.questioning was
that the son had written to lis father on
the eve of the day of the crime. " Mon
sieur le (Couunissaire," says tihe reporter,
" please to go to the witnesses' house andi
seize these letters." 'The functionary
obeyed; thme letters were brought, the
reporter read them, found them full of
evidence of Tropimann's atuilt, copiedh them
carefully and~ with a solemnn air. Then,
with respect, lie handedl over the originals
to the justice of the peace, asked him to
seal them carefully and keep them for the
further use of the court. TUhe reporter put
the copica into his pocket, saluted the
gentleman andi~ left. it was 1 o'clock in

-TnM principal feature of a new machin
for dressing hogs consists of a perpendict

surface with a series of flexible knives o
scrapers, and permeated by jets of bollin
water. The animal, after being killed an
scalded, is drawn by a hook attuched to th

CHANoINo Tnx Unor.--Among the ad

ferent crops, too, require different metlods
of cultivation, so that the rotation can be
so arranged that the labor on the farm cau

of a better cultivation and improvement of

P'"Kn ixu.-A German scientist has
been investigating the adulterations of
seeds as sold there. The result of his first
series ot observations are as follows: The
average per cent. of pure sed in comner
clal samp1les was found to be 59. Tihe
average per cent. of foreign substunce was
41. 0t the 59 per cent. of seeds witeh
were what they were'represented to te,
only 18 per cunt. were capable of germina
tig. A sample of oichard grass contained
the seeds of 45 other plants. A sainple of
meadlolw fox-tail containedi 95 per cent, of
dea(i seed. T'ree tons of seed, sold as red
clover, contained two tons of yellow clover.
Old seeds were renovated by boiling, dye.
ing and roasting. N ced seeds were
staineod, and used to adulterate lots of ex
pensive seeds.
CUr W.oicais AND ToMATo PLANTS.
Matthew Crawford states in an exchange
that the desti uction of tomato pilants by thO
cut worm may be avoided by naking a
compact mound of earth about the plaint,
as large as an inverted teacup, thi cut
worm being unable to climb. Another
way, which we have long practiced, is to
wrap Irouid the stei, if the cut worm ie
feared, a few incihes of paper or a large
green leaf of any kind, before drawing the
earth around it. 1,hey will not take the
trouble to gnaw thronigh the paper or leaf.
