THE OOEOGIST. 



Many writers and experimenters have 

 discussed the present subject, but have, as 

 a general thing, passed over the particulars 

 and given us only the outlines. Much 

 more might be learned by actual experiment 

 and many disputed points decided. 



Where do all the English Sparrow^s go 

 to? At times the air in our cities is fairly 

 black with them about this season. One 

 cannot proceed a yard without encountering 

 myriads of them upon the walks and fences 

 or in the trees. About breeding time most 

 of them have apparently disappeared, only 

 a few beius: seen about the streets. 



5 cents per line ; 35 cents per square.
