THE' CHIEF OF BIRD PESTS.
English Sparrows as Deatroyers—Cour-
ageous, Hardy and Prolific Creatures.
"For downright pluck and persever-
ance and cleverness give ma the F-no-Msh
sparrow; he's a hard one to b«dt."^p
These were the words of one of those
peripatotio guardians of the law—4 (Jenr
tral park policeman. The man had been
a member of the force for several years
and in assiduous pursuit of his calling
had walked many miles through the
byways and highways of the park, dis-
coursing in his own mind upon the
merits and demerits of these little for-
eigners.
"Now where do you suppose that chap
is going to spend the winter," he said to
a young man who had found him stand-
ing, legs apart and arms akimbo, leisure-
ly observing the toilet of a brown backed,
black breasted sparrow of the gentle sex
which perched on a swinging limb of a
middle aged elm combing its feathers
with its bill.
"Somewhere in the south, I reckon,"
said the person addressed.
"Nawp," said the philosopher, "don't
migrate."
"Don't migrate, eh I Well, in a box in
•ome tree in the park."
"Nawp, boxes all gone—rotted away
or taken down. I'll tell you where that
pewi»e'll bunk this winter; he'll stay
right around here in these trees and what
time he ain't flyin' about a'huntin' for
something to eat he'll be roosting on a
limb all puffed up as he is now."
"I should think it would freeze to
dear h."
M,4o they do sometimes. Many a win-
ter morning, after an unusually cold
night, I've seen the ground covered with
their dead bodies, frozen hard. Pity.
Not much. If we couldn't get rid of
some of 'em by freezin' they'd take the
town in a year or two. They're the big-
gest nuisance in New York city."
"Yet you admire their pluck"
"So I do; so I do. I admire pluck
wherever I see it, and you've got bushels
of it in these sparrows. When a few of
'em first came over here we fixed up for
'em in style, built boxes for 'em and fed
'em; but they never would use the boxes,
they'd rather look out for themselves,
wliich they've always done since I've
known anything about 'em. I haven't
the heart to kill one of 'em, notwith-
standing they're such a nuisance."
"What do they feed on?"
"Crumbs mostly. So long's there's
babies in New York so long'll there be
sparrows; somehow they seem to to go
together. You'll see babies come tod-
dlin' through the park or ridin' in their
carriages amunchin' of crackers and
cakes and tarts and all that and scatter-
ing cmmlts behind 'em. Sparrows al-
ways on the lookout, gather up the
crumbs as soon as they get a chance.
Then like most other birds they like
worms and bugs and flies such as they
can find in the grass or weeds or on the
bnrk of the trees."
Determined war has not been waged
against English sparrows in this state,
but in Pennsylvania and perhaps two or
three other states bounties are paid for
their heads, so much a hundred. Boys
made ample pocket change for a time by
the use of rublx>r slings and bowguns,
but l»ylike they soon grew tired of the
sjiort of wholesale murder of the little
birds, and the sparrows, left to them-
selves, continued to increase with re-
markable rapidity. Statistics on this
point are intresting. The newly organ-
ized division of economic ornithology of
the department of agriculture is prepar-
ing a series of bulletins upon the rela-
tions of several common species of birds
of this country to agriculture. Among
the bird pests which threaten destruction
to valuable branches of farming Dr.
Merriam, the head of the division, places
the English sparrow as chief. This little
creature has so multiplied and developed
among its new surroundings as to have
become a vastly greater scourge than the
caterpillars and \vorru3 it was expected
to destroy. Its present rate of increase
is enormous, and the new territory which
it invades is estimated at more than 130,-
000 square miles annually. It is essen-
tially a town bird,hut it takes long vaca-
tions in the fruit growing seasons and
"wreaks its fastidious appetite" upon
the largest and juiciest of grapes and the
daintiest of tree fruits, in which work
of destruction its aggregate of damages
is almost incomputable.—New York
Tribune.
The 'Wrestlers of Japan.
The average Japanese man will weigh
123 pounds. One of the wrestlers will
weigh from 200 to 250 pounds, and is
head and shoulders above tho other
people. So marked is the difference
that you see them several blocks away
ns they tower above the crowdB in the
streets. The women of this class are
fine physical specimens also. This is
probably the only instance in the world
where only the best physical specimens
of men and women intermarry, and the
result is such as to deserre attention.
These wrestlera form troupes of fifteen
or twenty each and travel from town to
town, where they always meet a rival
troupe and the two companies give ex-
hibition*. By these means there are no
hippodromes but genuine exhibitions of
strength, skill and activity.
These exhibitions are generally held
in large buildings improvised from bam-
boo poles for the purpose. They will ac-
commodate thousands of people and
, thousands are always there. The rival
troupes fire seated on opposite sides of
the house end the managers arrange the
matches. When it comes to the meet-
ing Of the champions of the respective
troupes the interest i3 intense and largo
amounts are staked on the result The
favorite* are stimulated by the offer of
large sums of money from their friends
in case they win. These entertainments
last a whole afternoon, and in the large
towns extend through a week or two.
These athletic sport* aro popular and so
well patronised that wrestlera of any
considerable note accumulate small for-
tunes. The production of such a class of
giants in so short a time from so small a
race is proof of what might be done to
improve the physique of the human race
and mfetsurafaljr to banish diseaae and
nil inilrmttie* Japeu Letter.
