The upland plover, one of the most beneficial birds of nil the winged host that once abounded In North America, lias been hunted and shot to the verge of exterminatiop, says Dumb Animals. With the passing of tlie passenger pigeons, which even now so many friends of all birds find It hard to be lieve and of which a great many are not convinced, tl|e plovers were marked for wholesale distraction. They were candidates for oblivion along with more than a score of other useful and beautiful speclis that could be ill spared from our vast and valuable na tive fauna. There is a ray of hope that these birds may not be pursued to complete annihilation. The federal law for the protection of migratory birds makes It possible for the plover species to re habilitate itself, provided the closed season be fixed to continue throughout the year. The upland plover is a mi gratory bird and an insectivorous bird. Its food consists of 97 per cent of ani mal forms which are chiefly the worst enemies to agriculture. The federal law fixes a closed season on migra tory Insectivorous birds to continue throughout the yehr with the exception of the bobolink or ricebird, but under the law the plover is classed as a mi gratory game bird and so Its fate Is precarious. These birds should not be shot. to The house GRANT REFUSED TO ANSWER When President, He Declined to Tell House Where He Had Been During Absence.

Phonetics In Its broadest sense is a study of tlie whole range of sounds, articulate, musical and otherwise, its restricted sense it is confined to articulate sounds of human speech. Even In this restricted sense it Is still j broad enough to include tlie subject of the acoustic or mechanical side and the anthropological or philological side, it In may discuss simply tlie speecli vibrations that cause any par ticular sensations on tlie human ears, or it may include an investigation of the manner and causes .of the changes the articulate sounds of a language undergo as it develops. The study of phonetics Is widely advocated by philologists and by many of the thoughtful teachers for three (1) T lint persons may speak their mother tongue correctly through tints learning to know the proper valuation of Its sounds; (2) that they may learn successfully tlie pronunciation of oth er languages, to which a knowledge of their own Is the best Introduction; (•t) that those who wish to study philology may have a key to that Sl 'ience.
