A Bories of interesting expeniiKuta (n which English sparrows have been taught to sing sweetly, is recorded by Dr. Coziradl. The aim cf the expert jnenter has been to determine what are the conditions under which birds learn and cling to their traditional notes. For this purpose, says the American Journal of Psychology, he has taken very young: birds of ncninu pical species and kept then entirely with songsters, to determine whether they would thus acquire the musical notes. In July, 1893, he put four fledgling English sparrows into the nest ot a pair cf singing canaries. Three of them died, but the fourth survive"!. Tills one had already acquirer! a spar row chirp; but hearing thenceforth only the notes of the eajaary, he went no further with the language which was his birthright. Instead he came gradually when among the canaries, to give notes different from sparrow talk. Even when he was silent, if the canaries were singing he could be seen moving his throat, as if he were try ing to form the sounds, much as a per son often inaudibly follows a song which another is singing. At last these sounds began to be audible, and increasingly so. He began to give TiotiC-s in rapid succession, three or four tones up the scale, and then rep-eating the top note live or six times. Growing bolder with practice and ifae sound of his own voice, he soon Indulged three or four times in succes sion, with eight to twelve notes in each; and in the last days of' Septem ber, when three months old, he went UP and down and down and up the scale all in one run. All this while his voice had been phanging. At first it was harsh, as ia natural with English sparrows; but gradually, with the effort dr with the puh-conscious influence of the sweeter pounds about him, it became- softer and acquired something of the canary (Quality. At first h$ sang on a low scale and tried the top notes vainly; but, as his voice became milder he went higher mor easily. Ee was three months old when, growing bold, he essayed tag first trill. It was short but musical, and he evidently lilted it, for he re peated it and continued steadily to practise it. It was done modestly, and alter each trill he sat still and ap peared to be listening. A year later, however, when the report was being written by the experimenter, he had ('j't. to be quite an adept in canary cone;, and would trill and sing contin ually punctuating his song with com plete circles and semi-cire'es on kia perch. To try th effect of association upon him, Dr. Conradi removed him for a time, in his f.n-.t year, from the can aries, and put. him where he heard on- ly sparrow chatter. Gradually he ceased to sing and bejan to return to the neglected sparrow tongue, out when he was again hung with the ca naries he regained all he had lost in less than a month.

A dahlia garden where the flowers are cut at about noon is a regular pot house for bees and wasps and even the big bungling bumble bes do not refuse to imbibe. From the cut stem of the -plant on sunny days about noon a juice exudes that seems to be a whole sideboard of Intoxicants for the Insects, and, for two or three hours afterwards the wonVgo-home-tUl-raorning state is very apparent. The industrious, steady-going bees, misled into tasting it. will first staggesr then drop to the ground and with head down attempt to dreg themselves home, only to finally roll over and give up to it. Pretty soon they recov er and are ready to try it again If the temptation remains. If not. they take up the burden of work a.nd probably have some -excuse to offer for time loct and no returns.
