of inducing them to breed at liberty in
the gardens in Regent’s park. They
were first given the relative freedom of
a large open-air inclosure, from which,
when they had become accustomed to
receive tribute from visitors, they were
allowed to pass in and out by a rope
bridge to a tree. It was anticipated
and indeed hoped, that . they would
spread from the gardens to the park.
The office of works took a benevolent
interest in the experiment and re
strained visitors from taking dogs, ex

they seemed to be disappearing, they

gray squirrels are plainly happy and
equally plainly give happiness to the
London population—two weighty rea

than to justify. In fact, there Is room
for both; possibly a few nests have
been destroyed, but the squirrels fre

“On the other hand, the gray squir

tubes and busses or by deliberate hu

London and are invading the country
over very wide areas. They are said
to drive out the red squirrel, to raid
gardens, and to add to the anxieties
of the pheasant breeder. We hope
that fuller Inquiry will not sustain
these charges. On general grounds we
doubt if a creature with so marked a
preference for living as a sturdy beg
gar will settle down to the hardships
of a predatory and hunted life. The

Testing Child's Musical Ability.
Musical ability in a child can be
well judged by testing five faculties:
Tiie sense of pitch, which is the abil
ity to discriminate between higher
and lower tones; the sense of time or
rhythm; the sense of consonance,
which is the ability to tell what is
more pleasing and what is less pleas
ing; the sense of intensity; and mu
sical memory, or the ability to remem
ber a number of tones from hearing
them once. Those qualifications are
probably in large measure inherited,
for very young children sometimes
have them.—Youth’s Compan’ot
Peculiar “Crop” Rotation.
An tmusual rotation of crops, con
sisting of fish two years and oats one
year, is reported by a recent writer in
tiie Scottish Journal of Agriculture.
This occurs in some localities In the
reclaimed regions along the coast of
England and the continent. The fish
nre raised in shallow pools, which are
drained and cultivated every third
year.
