trivance giving satisfaction in such 
work will be welcomed. Mr. F. L. 
INIulford, superintendent of parks, of 
Harrisburg, Pa., speaks of it in highly 
commendatory terms, and the depart- 
ment of parks of Detroit, Mich., and 
the State Reservation at Niagara 
Falls, besides many others, are using 
it with excellent results. It is simply 
a specially designed elastic, saw, so 
weighted as to sink, and which a man 
on either bank, if a stream, or in boats 
if in a pond, can saw off the weeds 
and roots right in the mud at the 
bottom. An examination of the adver- 
tisement in another column will give 
further information.

GERMAN BIRD PROTECTION 
( Cotiltnued from p. 256) 
among the constant visitors to the 
food house. 
The food bell is an ingenious me- 
chanical device which serves out 
grain automatically. An inverted 
glass jar or bottle is connected with 
a tube passing through an inverted 
bowl or bell to the food dish below. 
The essential feature of the device is 
that the lower edge of the tube is 
l/16th of an inch below the upper 
edge of the food dish and the upper 
edge of the dish l/16th inch higher 
than the lower edge of the bell. The 
apparatus works perfectly^ only when 
these conditions are exactly observed. 
The bell works automatically as 
soon as the receptable is filled with 
the hemp seed. Exactly the same 
number of seeds fall into the dish as 
have been taken out by the birds. 
The bell is particularly valuable be- 
cause it is religiously avoided by spar- 
rows. Nearly all seeds may be used 
in the bell except rape. Those con- 
taining oil are the best, and hemp 
the prime favorite of them all.
