I he Voices of Uirtls. “Do the voices of the birds correspond in their registers to those of human be¬ ings?” “Decidedly; although this lias never before been stated. For instance, the nightingale is a rich contralto, the mock¬ ing bird a soprano sopracuto, ihe wood thrush a line soprano, the skylark a curi¬ ous combination of the mezzo and the soprano, with the odds in favor of the mezzo. The stake driver is. a basso pro- fundo. His notes are deep and sonorouS. and his song is: ‘Punk-a-gonk! A-gcnR- a-vvunck.’ The cedar bird or the vvax- wing lisps. He tries to sing in all parts and canot sing in any. The bobolink is a musical hybrid of meters. His is a jingling song. He is the only bird whom the mocking bird can’t imitate. If a bobolink be shut up in the same cage with a mocking bird the mocking bird will not infrequently die within three months of a broken heart, because of his failure lo imitate the bobolink. The winter wren is a crystaline eontratino tenor. The rapidity of its song delies lightning and consequently analysis. The blue bird, as Mr. Beecher said, always seems to be about to sing some¬ thing, but never quite gets there. The vulture is the musical discord of the bird family. Its voice, which is even move hoarse than that of the blue jay, is per¬ ceptibly- vitiated by its intemperate hab¬ its. The vulture is the drunkard of the birds. The bell bird of Florida has a voice whose gamut of sounds represents the higher and lower tones of a peal of bells. The voice of this bird can lie bear'd distinctly for three-fourths of a mile. The voice of the oriole sounds as though the bird were singing Tuscan Latin. The voice of the wood dove is like a flute. The red bird’s voice re¬ sembles a piccolo. The scraping voice of the whet saw resembles so exactly the sound of a saw at a log mill that when it scrapes its song out at night more than one sawyer has been waked from bis sleep supposing that the mill was in motion. The canary has a zither voice. The catbird imitates a violin. The monotonous voice of the blue jay is like a Scotch bagpipe.”—New York Evening Sun.

A series of articles on different nation¬ alities in the United States forms one of the unique features of the current vol¬ ume of The Chav.tauquaii. In a late number Albert Shaw discusses the Scan¬ dinavians, and gives the following in his valuable computation of statistics: More people have left Norway, Sweden and Denmark during the last seven years to make their homes in the United States than during the entire previous existence of our country. With one-fortieth of the whole population of Europe the Scandinavian countries furnish nearly one twqnty-fourtli of the aggregate European emigration cf the United States during the six decades from 1820 to 18,90. Since 1880 wo have admitted in round numbers 4,000,000 European recruits to our shores, of whom about 500,000 have been Scandinavians. That is to say, we are during the current de¬ cade drawing 12 1-2 per cent, of our new foreign population from a group of kin¬ dred nations which have only 2 1-2 per cent, of the population of Europe.—Pub¬ lic Opinion.
