They were call- id dinosaurs (meaning "terrib.e izards"). because some. at least- iore a resemblance to those lcul/IY ventures.

(I notice a curious error in the text of the colored plate of 0r~ chids: the Yellow Lady's Slipper is said to be the "Floral emblem of’ Prince Edward Island")

There are two pages of "Com- mon Objects of the seashore". A book with that title was very pop- ulnr in England in the days oi my youth, and doubtless a Cana- dian book on the same eueieﬂ would he welcomed.

There is s brief but well thought- out lesson on "Farm Woodiot- Management" which every'farmer in the land should learn. And Alla‘ ally there is "Your Nature Hobby". by Donal/l Culrosa Peatrtie. It ends: “A nature hobby is a shield against the slings and arrows u.‘ outrageous fortune. a. form o! saving for your old age. It la a possession rio one can take from you and one to which you can add tc indefinitely, for to understand ing there are not limits."

Auduboara (‘Birds of America”

I am indebted to so. d. H. B. Icngworth, City, for a copy of the Saint John Telegraph-Journal for August 30th. Mr. Longwcrth du- ects my attention to a remarkably good account of the Audubon bird books in the Legislative Library at Saint John. N. B. A great deal is known about the books themselves much. true or false. about their author. and nothing (save oohf jecture) as tn hcw they reached Saint John.

John Jams Audubon was born (a)'in Louisiana in i780 (b) in Paris 1m and was perhaps the missing Dauphin of France, and (c. in San Domingo in 1785. and was the son of a Captain Audu» bani It ia certain. however. thhl he travelled much in the United States and even visited Canada in the years between i800 and i625 drawing and painting the native birds. In the latter year he took m; pglnﬂnsl to England and made arrangements for their pun licaticn the year following. The issue was only l7l copies. cf WIIACh '19 copies went to European suc- scribers, mostly members of Royal Families. .

I made (in iaeo) a business vl-"lt to Middlesbrough. a crest hun- smelting town near the rmutn of the River Tees. It was an u".- attxactive town of mean streets. but had good-looking public bud-i- ings. As I had some time to spam r entered the Public Library Iud made the acquaintance of the Librarian. He showed me a set. c. the Audubon books. which he had leaning against the side of hi5 desk. He said that they were oi- lginally the property 0f Queen Victoria (which might have been true) and that there were over 1000 birds represented in color. I-Ie dl/l not take any particular carr of the book but seemed to recog- nize that they were a bit Out 01 the common. When I commented on the size of the pages. he w“ me they were “elelirhﬂllir mm]; which I supposed to be a lee‘ They were, I thought. 130E919 usury-as by 22.5 inches. Ono can well imagine that the "Birds OI America" would not have u IN!’ appeal be the ordinary people of Britain. as has Gilbert White."- “Natural History of Selborhe." White's birds, moush fewer. were British!

The colored plates of Audubon “Birds". cost the subscribers about $1.000 a set; and they had to git them bound afterwards. What SH they worth new? Perhapi 5 °T 5 times that figure.

Family Colnmbldae: The Pigeons

The pigeons (or dovu) occur in most countries of the world and about 700 species and varieties are known to naturalists. Nearly everywhere they are reﬂafdefl l’ game birds, serving as 100d i0. man. In medieval Britain pigeon pie was always at hand at meal t-mes, and both mansion and mon- astery had its columbarium or dove-cots. (At Pontvi) 5511- DI“ ham County. Ensland. the" Wt“ a cote, in good order still atana- ing. It was a stone house of oat room. but inside, the walls were a "honeycomb" o! stone nest’ shelves. The mansion had fallen to the status of a farmhouse. and the columbarium was a tool-shed.)

Dr. Taverner said that the characteristics of the Coiumbidae are more easily recognised than described. There are two feature-r- however. common to all r1890!“- Their bills are "hard and norry at the tip. which is very ailgh"y enlarged, and have the basal hail furnished with a soft. slightq swollen membrane in which we nostrils open." The feet are Shill- and weak. fitted only for walkiii; on elvel areas or for peiching. The voice of these birds has always struck the poetic mind as sonuw- ful.

pygmy“ 3cm, in "Birds of P. E. I." (i801) says that the Wild Pigeon i.a now a rare atraggler. and since he givea ita name as templates we know he meant ‘he Passenger Pigeon. At one time the Passenger Pigeons assembled an; flew in such numbers that the! darkened the sky. Audubon cai- culated that there were a biliar- birds in one flight. But their nio- wry was a long tragedy, and tliere came a day when the last iss- aenler died. in captivity in the Cincinnati Zoological Gardens. apt. i. i014. -

For an eternity of bllaa their ride continued. when at length - after eternity, yet all too soon - the bus creaked once m0re through the Washington Arch, Ted asked rather husirily. "Shall we ride up- again? It. isn't too late. O! If it is. who cares?"

All the way home she was eh- during ‘a remorse as deep and end- less as her bliss had been. When they were inside her door, she nras going to tell him at last. she was going to tell him, and to make him listen to her, But why couldn't she have died before she had to face that necessity-have Just passed swiftly into everlasting quiet. hack there in the shelter of his arms?

They reached her door; he took her key and let them in. Elsa began to turn 0h her lights. so many times now she had come In with him like this. and always it had felt like coming home. Corning home it was, but only because he was with her. Even to-night she felt the old security and comfort at this blessed moment of warmth and peace.

She took off her hat and coat and flung them down while hel stood waiting_ She met his eyel then. and he put out his arms to her. Elsa went straight into them.l Against his cheek she whispered. "Iirn telling yOu riouu-my darling. Oh. my darling! I'm telling you now. I'm the qucen, The Queen of Leucudia. I'd give anything If I weren't. But I am.“

“Sure you are." agreed Ted “A very nice queen you make, too. for a person who has had so little practice."

Elsa stiffened. “But I've plenty of practice, I'm the-“

to tell Pyou. I'm Sir Anthony Eden."

With the beginning of a very pretty rage Elsa spluttered.

“whether you like it or not Iim the former Queen of Leucadls."

"I believe you." teased Ted. "All the evidence is on your side. You've left off your Leucadlan accent just to put me at ease."

"Leucadian accent? I never had any Leucadian accent!"

Youre right you didn’t."' He drew her down on the couch beside him. and ran a caressing hand over her hair.

“But what I mean is, I always had Emails-h governesses. In our family circle-the Izucadian royal family circle-we always spoke English, my father and mother and I."

"Sure you did." agreed Ted. "I've read that book. too."

What book?"

“The one the Car's cousin wrote, where she tells haw the Russian

royal family always spoke English at home."

"But I have my royal crown onbroidered on my underwear-or at least, I did have before I came to New York. I had it on my bags and luggage, too. And my "lime is Elsa—"

“I suppose that's why you started it," mused Ted, letting her straighten up away from him. but only within the circle of his arms. "I've noticed hcw in the newspaper you read you always turn first to lock for news cf the err-queen I suppose your having the same first name as hers is what started you on making a cult of her"

"1 make a cult of Queen Elsa? 1 can assure you I do nothing of the kind. A cult, Indoﬂ!"

"there's no harm in doing such s, thing, silly! Svieet. and silly, that's what you are!"

“But I tell you I look like the queen."
