Sam Lovel's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO. 
On all the islands, as we made our round, we 
found colonies of the various birds. But when, 
running free before a strong easterly breeze, 
we reached Battledore Island, we witnessed the 
crowning triumph of the reservations. The 
island seems to be composed mostly of broken 
oyster shells, and is nearly half a mile long, 
quite narrow, and somewhat in the shape of a 
horseshoe. From end to end Battledore was 
simply teeming with bird life. So important is 
this colony that a special warden had been sta¬ 
tioned there throughout the breeding season to 
watch it, living on a small schooner owned by 
the Audubon Society, called the Laughing Gull. 
He is a man about eighty-three of four years 
young, and we found him that day somewhat: 
ill, but attending to his business, for he went 
ashore after us as soon as we landed. 
Words are inadequate to describe the sights 
of this remarkable island. It was simply full of 
birds. A nest of some sort or other there wasj 
at nearly every step. Squadrons of skimmers! 
had their handsome white eggs, boldly blotched, 
all along the beaches. Throughout the grass 
everywhere were nests of the laughing gulls 
with their dark, mottled eggs. The bushes were 
full of Louisiana herons, and near one end of 
the island was the largest area of royal and 
Cabot’s terns on the whole reservation. In all 
directions the air was full of birds, uttering a) 
perfect babel of bewildering cries. Plere. bird 
protection seemed to have reached its climax, 
its limit. There was positively no more room 
here, not another bird house-lot was for sale. 
During parts of two days spent blissfully 
amid the wonders of this crowded metropolis 
of the birds, there was occupation for every 
moment. The birds, accustomed to the presence 
of the warden, were so tame that I could study- 
and photograph them at will. Occasionally,: 
when I used the tent for some very intimate 
work, I could erect it in plain sight of the birds,* 
crawl in, and in a moment all would be on their, 
nests again, even before I could make ready my 
camera. I shall never forget my sensations 
when, having finished the work to my satisfac-. 
tion and exposed my last plate, I took a bath 
in the tepid water close at hand. Floating on 
my back, I watched the hovering cloud of birds,- 
and listened to the chorus of their voices. 
Somewhat weary from my activities in the hot 
sun, a delicious languor began to steal over me,’ 
and I felt as though I were very near Paradise, 
the gates ajar. Yes, I had indeed entered—into 
nature’s paradise! Here bird protection had 
absolutely triumphed, and on Battledore at least 
there was nothing further to be done. It was 
the achievement of the ideal, the victory of the 
right, the crowning success of the cause, the. 
wondrous result of but five years of bird protec¬ 
tion.—Herbert K. Job, in Harper’s Magazine. 
TURTLE' DUCKS HIS CAPTORS. 
A 150 pound turtle got mixed up in a fish 
net yesterday afternoon in Gravesend Bay. Two 
men tried to haul it into their boat, but it pulled 
them both into the water and tipped over the 
boat. The men are both good swimmers and,, 
with assistance from the shore, came out not 
only none the worse for the accident, but alsc 
with the cause of it as a prize. _ j 
The Times says that Louis Morris, of Ulmer 
Park, who is quite a fisherman, and always has 
several nets set, asked his friend Cornelius Ho¬ 
gan, a hotel keeper, yesterday to go out with 
him and pull them in. They had their boat 
nearly full of fish and were hauling up the last 
net, when there came a mammoth tug on it 
and before either of them could let go, over 
they went into the water. 
Charles Morris, a cousin of Louis, saw the 
upset from the shore, and put out in another 
boat. Then followed an exciting half hour ir 
landing the turtle, but the three men finally got 
him ashore All Ulmer Park turned out last 
night to take a look at him, chained up in Mor¬ 
ris’s barn.
